great car! get the gearbox oil changed (easy job) unsure if the corrado has the weighted gear linkage if not be worth it makes gear changes so smooth and with some feel to it! get those brakes bled and wack in 5.1. again a massive difference that makes. Brake fulid should be change every couple of years really! on any car! its cheap and easy to do!

polished and t-cutted, mutli plug and loom ordered for head unit, speakers fitted, oil changed, damp spot sorted, exhaust hung up properly, just need a couple more rubber brackets. Got quite a few jobs to do to it, but hopefully one day it'll be absolutely mint!!

polished and t-cutted???? u mean t-cutted and then polished!!

usure what the speakers are like in the rear of the corrado but i know the golfs were pants! might be worth investing in a small amp and sub like max 200 watt just to help give alittle base to the rear! just a idea

lol, you knew what I meant!! yeah speakers were pant's!! funny you should say that, I have wired it up ready for an amp!! just waiting to get a small amp now!! just wanna get everything absolutely mint on it, getting new tyres on it today aswell!! (gonna be skint shortly!)

tyres GSD3's everytime! u will not be go for any other tyre after that! go down to discount wheel and tyre near tescos and speak to neil say you spoken to Alex with the 3000gt and ask for them, there now a good year dealer and will do u a great price!!!!

Swer to god, fantastic tyre! u changed your brake fluid yet? be worth doing i know its a bit of a pain but gives u better braking and also stops the bleed nipples welding them selves shut!!!!

Aye, I will do the brakes!! got a fair list of things to do, but I knew this when I bought it!
