    seen loads of cheap corrados on piston heads, easy to get a cheap one with a knacked engine and put whatever you want in it , 500 buys one with short tax and ticket bit scruuffy, but gotta b worth the punt .

    that raddos pretty much on the money, something like that would be perfect, although I have been looking very long and hard at the mk2 20vt thats for sale in the classifieds at the mo....if its still for sale when im back I will prob go take a gander a 20vt with a lsd could be pretty nifty on track....just ofload the 1/2 leather interor and put it on a diet with a full bolt in cage job done..


    and im not touching anything frech / italian. i know you get alot of bang for your buck, a engineer at Jag i see alot has just got a clio 182 for 4k with sod all miles on it but it still going to go wrong sooner rather than later.

    Most the Turbo and Supercharged cars tend to unimpress on the track. N/A all the way.

    I dont know, if set up right it should be ok, my mates mk3 astra with a 2.0l T in the front was not too shabby round donny, I had him in the corners and on the brakes just as he hasnt gone as hard core as me but on the hills and straight I could do sod all, he had instant power.

    PM AndyRhino. He has a track Corrado with a AUM 1.8T. He is just about to install a BAM lump for more go. Very solid vehicle but a bit bulky. He also give you the low down on ownership.
    Honestly though I would keep the MK1. I calibrated a MK1 5door with the same engine as Andy's and you would be suprised how weight makes a big difference. MK1 at 12psi on AUM/"KO3s" was an Audi S5 killer. Was buzzy as STD but a hell-of-alot fun when the throttle was welded to the floor!

    Cheers dude,

    I too thought i would keep the mk1 after the charged engine went in, but tbh I have been hankering for a chnage for a while... the new engine just delayed the change abit sadly.

    Ill drop him a PM :thumbup: and get the low down.

    Plus a DC2 wont really give any trouble, it will go flat out on track all day.
    You don't want to be buying something that's going to cost a fortune to keep running.
