My Corrado

[swompy]

I've had this car all most a year ( May) and have loved every second of it.

Its a 94 2lt 16v Corrado in Ice grey violet pear effect.

I brought it off a guy who has owned it sinse 95 and with only 77K on the clock.

a few pics of it when i got it

In my short time of owning the car I have done the following all using genuine VAG parts ( as much as possible)

All new rear brake set up, including discs, pads, bearings and caliper.

stealth shift lights hidden in the clocks

completly new track rods ( every thing ends and all)

K&N pannle filter

Longlife cat back with Magnex back box exhuast system.

Lowered on coilover

New top mounts

Half tinted rear lights

Engine mounts

and

being put on this friday, Inlet cam and powder coated inlet manifold.

So far with out the cam the car is putting out 146bhp and 140lbft

So some pics of it now ( pic over load)

[swompy]

Thanks mate

Right time for a long awaited update.

Since my first post I have had a new:
Inlet cam
Powder coated inlet manifold and rocker cover
New Track rods
New ball joints
R32 suspension bushes
De-badged grill
Tinted head ligt protecters
Tinted side repeaters
Custom DG autotech re-map (more explanation and link below)
New Ignition coil
New throttle cable
Some cheap TSW sprayed black

I think that is everything but no dounbt Ive missed a few things

The Re-map was done by a Vag specialist near Kidaminster called DG Autotech. They have done 99.9% of all the work done to the corrado.

There wasnt a remap available for the corrado 16v so I volentered my car to DG to come up with one. Spent the whole day up there with them running the car up and down the road and working out the best settings for the ignition timing and fueling. In the end we came up with a map that made the car 1 second quick between 40-60 in 3rd gear and preaty much through out. More fuel put in at the top end so it revs right through to the limiter and just wants to keep going. I dont know the final power out put at the moment but estamated to be around 155-160bhp with the cam as well. Will be getting rolling roaded as soon as DG have installed there rolling road.

Link to there website below, with my car as the dispaly pic for the 16v remap. You can see the powder coated inlet manifold too :D

I am planning on doing a 2.0l TFSI conversion some point next year as I need more power and dont want to do the noral 1.8T conversions:biglaugh:

So watch this space

Some more excellent work, looks like a great company.
2.0tsfi would be a very impressive, very handy knowing that company when it comes to conversion time.
