So I am finally getting around to some needed upgrades! First I have ordered a new custom billet aluminum oil filter housing to allow for screw on oil filters. Second, I am going to be having a new brake master cylinder and new steel weaved brake lines installed. Third, I have ordered new drilled and slotted brake rotors and performance pads for the front an rear. With the supply problems these days, it will be interesting to see how long it ends up taking to get everything. Going forwards, I am planning to begin using Castrol Eurocar 5W40 Fully Synthetic motor oil....

To understand my current situation, I have to supply some background About 15 years ago, I experienced the scraping of the sunroof. I started reading in the forums and discovered that the likely culprit was the sliders. I scavenged parts from a B3 passat sunroof and purchased whatever replacement parts i did not have from the local dealership.. I kept what remained of the old Passat sunroof assembly in my garage. I was so happy to have restored the sunroof. Fast Forward to 2021, My Corrado had been in the garage ever since. I had decided to sell my home and thus would lose my garage. So I...

They just finished attaching the turbo to the engine. BEAUTIFUL welding job on the custom complex curve down to the custom 3" stainless steel exhaust tubing.

Cleaned up
Never really detailed the engine bay since owning. Filled a spray bottle with Simple Green (great non-toxic and environmentally friendly cleaner) and sprayed everything liberally AFTER covering electrical areas so as not to damage (or have to wait for them to dry). Used a power-washer on low to rinse. Then wiped clean using many rags. Saw someone online mention using "no-touch" tire shine to cleanup the engine bay (search youtube) so thought to give it a try. Next morning while the engine was cool I sprayed it all over since it's prob only going to lubricate and maintain any rubber/plastic...

Well I finally figure the thick smoke was nothing more than dirty old gas, 2 tanks later and the smoke has cleared. However I started to notice that the engine was bucking and sputtering while running or just at idle. so completed the tune up and now she does fantastic.

the new rims
I had lost track of how long it has been since I really worked on the Corrado. Spent much of last summer helping a friend get his motorcycle running, good times and great guy, so the time wasn't really wasted. I found some decent used tires and had them mounted to a set of 5 star red rims that I picked up as temporary rims until I could get a nice set. Within a week of getting them mounted I came across a set of exactly what I wanted (isn't it always the way). So I've switched them over and last weekend I mounted them onto the car. The rims are just what I wanted, black with chrome...

Ok so I got the new regulator in. Looks nice from the old design. This was a pimax brand. It eliminates the scissor lift and comes with a harness you must hard wire to the vehicle but comes with no hardware. If you do the install yourself I recommend buying some small m6 x100 bolts. I got the smallest lowes had. 2 m6 x100 Phillips screws because they have a shallow head to hold the window to the adapter plate to the new regulator. You will also need 2 butt connectors. I will not lie this job sucks. The old regulator is a pain to remove and I just gridded off the rivets that held it in place....

I was driving to Toronto in mid-October (2011) and for some reason, as if it were a sign from God, my head was filled with the memory of seeing a sweet little quasi-cranberry-coloured Corrado in a restaurant parking lot in Ottawa three or four years ago. Being a car freak/geek, this was not unusual. I think of cars OFTEN. The memory was short-lived and life carried on. Days later, on October 13, I receive a text message from an unknown phone number asking simply "Hi there is this kent?" "Who wants to know?" was my reply. "Haha, I don't know if you would remember but you left a card...

IMG 2196
I sold my G60 Corrado back in April of 2008. It still lives on in Oshkosh, Wisconsin with its new owner. I don't believe he is a part of Corrado World. At any rate, I finally reached my limit with the car when the new timing belt I had installed broke for the final time. I grew tired of wrenching on it when I'd have rather been driving it. Nice to see the picture of it on the website header...thanks for that Skye. My replacement ride is a 2001 Audi TT Quattro Roadster. Tastefully modded and quick as hell. Reliable too! I added a headliner for the convertible top, a center armrest, and a...

It was 1996 and I was walking through the college car park when I saw a Red Corrado and instantly fell in love with the beautiful shape and look of the VW Coupe. Only when I finally got round to buying a Corrado in September 2008 did I realise the coincidence of my 'love at first sight'-ing as I found that my newly purchased Corrado was registered in the same year I first saw one. I know I probably paid a bit over the odds for my Corrado, but it was mint and it was exactly what I wanted, so who's to tell me how much to pay for something I'd wanted for 12 years. It has black leather...

corrado
well i finally become a member of the corrado family, yesterday i purchased my first corrado, i owned a 01 jetta before but thats about it, i always liked the shape of the corrados and now im loving the driving part. it's new territory for me and on top o that, all the badges on the car are gone, came with no manuals, no door jam stickers, no nothing. Aside from the blown g charger obvious by the huge missing chunk from the top of it, missing stereo, speakers, messed up shocks, wire showing on tires,rusted through the hatch door, i see true potential. This is gonna be a long hard adventure...

I love this car Needs a nick though
I've had this car a week, and I think I have re-defined a love for a car. The only other vehicle I enjoyed this much was a Challenger. (Can't recall the year, but it's cousin was the Plymouth Sapporo) But I actually enjoy this car more. I am looking at different things to do to it, starting with fully restoring it to factory specs, and then upping the Supercharger a little, Heading over to Neuspeed to see what they recommend, and finding a few other little toys for it. Stereo will be a custom thing, as well as the paint. I'm thinking I like the black paint, so it'll stay black. Will...
