    It's got a night time function actually, but I can't keep the camera still during the long exposure time.

    Will sort some pics out tonight anyway.

    It's nowt flash like, just a standard, shiny, late model corrado.

    Not for me, I can think of far better things to spend 2000 on than a poxy charger.

    Thing is, It's not like I had 6000 in the first place, so I haven't actually got 2000 going spare! b*gger. [xx(]

    Looking good!
    I used to have a M reg 8v as well and it had the worst engine in the world! Slow as f*ck. Was a a very refined car with excellent handling. I sooo want another Corrado now ya bugger. Got used to the spolier yet? I used to love the view through the wing mirriors showing the curve of the shoulder. Does it have the 2 rear seat instead of three?
    What wheels you putting on?

    wheels and engine are pap, they will be going ASAP, it's also possibly the tallest corrado I've ever seen, it needs lowering about 6"!!

    looks like standard corrado height to me! The reason you never see them that high is the first thing anybody does is lower the bugger, lol.

    They are noisy, there's no provision ofor intercooling, so they just blow hot air into the engine, they're heavy, they either slip the belts or wreck the alternator with too much tension, they give poower performance for the money.

    I've said it before, but here we go again. The VR6 doesn't need more power. It needs better gear ratios and more grip and better handling first. The supercharger does nothing to rectify any of these problems, in fact, it makes many of them worse.

    Spend the money on the gearbox instead, I did, and it was well worth it, and far more satisfying than a charger.

    But this isn't what the topic is about, and it's already been covered before anyway.
