Corrado 2.8 VR6 SLC
Manufacture Date: 1993Owner: Rento_VW from U.S.A., California
Colorcode: LC3U (Dark burgundy pearl effect was delivered from 1988 till 1995)
Bought on date: October 29, 2007
Information / Adjustments : 9/11/12: Corrado has been parked since around November/December of last year and most of this year. The turbo setup had a very bad tune, but it was my only car. Eventually engine started pouring smoke when boosting and has a few bugs so I parked it back in February and bought a Lexus LS400 to cruise around in. As of last week, I have been piecing together the rebuild for the engine. Going to change over to OBD2, possibly go with forged internals. Check the head and see if it's okay, head gasket busted in cylinder #3. Going to either go with C2 #42 software and shoot for at least 400hp. Water/meth and AWIC are in the books, but right now I plan on just a reliable 350-400hp daily driven Corrado as always. She's also back on the stock Speedlines, not exactly sure what wheels I will choose, I just want to go with 16x9 as usual. Wanting to get rid of the coilovers that are in it right now and hopefully pick up a set of H&R Ultra Low coilovers. Current mileage: 70,050 miles. 2/23/11 - Current: VR6 Turbo installed. » Garrett T3/T4 Turbocharger w/ billet backing plate » ARP head studs » 9.1:1 head spacer » Tial wastegate w/ 8lb spring » Kenetic boost piping » Precision Turbo Engine FMIC, » C2 Software » Ford Venom 30# injectors. 2/14/11: Corrado underwent another refreshment last Thursday. Even though it's just sideskirts and wheels, I can't help but see that I have a whole new car. The look and way it sits is just astounding and gorgeous. Sideskirts: Dubtechnik Shaved ABT textured with SEM Texture Coating. Wheels: Miro STP-1 16x9" ET25mm (No spacers, No issues, Perfect) Tires: Falken Ziex 912 205/40ZR16 1/19/11: It's been a LONG time since I last updated this: The only thing I really changed about this car since I last updated it was that I had installed Audi Fat Fives for 2 months exactly. I just put the stock speedlines back on two days ago since i'm going to be going over to 16x9 wheels. I'm prepping to go VRT in this quarter or next quarter. The Corrado is about to hit her 60,000th mile in 250 miles! She also currently sits on the only DTS Corrado Coilovers in the US since the distributor who had them went under a few weeks after doing a sponsorship program and sponsoring me to represent Corrados running DTS. Other than that... She's pretty stock still! » DTS Coilovers » Custom Spoonfedtuning 70mm lip spoiler » Evolution Imports Odin skidplate » Eurosport upper and lower tie bars » Euro steering wheel » Spoiler set to 79MPH activation. Background: The car was purchased back on Halloween of 2007 with 38,000 Miles on the odometer. It's life started in Florida where it was bought in 1993. It was than sold to another person in Florida who had it shortly. From there it was taken to Colorado and sold to JoeyZ who had it for a few years. Lastly, the title was sold to me and the Corrado was driven back here to Southern California. I plan on keeping it as stock as possible and make it an all time remembered Corrado. |
