EDIT: SOLD!
So I've got an itch for an Audi S4 or maybe even a G35, so i'm thinking of selling my Corrado. If there's no interest, oh well. I have no problems keeping it, but I'd kind of like to move on to something else.
It's slow in a straight line, but stupid fast (for what it is) in the twisties. Autocrossing a couple yrs ago - I should have come 2nd overall with it in DSP class for WMCA regionals (for technical reasons I did not). It won Regina's event, and I came only 2nd to Pat (who is infamous for being an amazing driver) overall. It was also regularly the fastest car on street tires at many many events, including Saskatoon's SSIS. You want a fast car? Well, here you go.
1993 VW Corrado VR6
~168,000km
B.C. car all its life until I found it. I brought it back here in the fall of 2003. I'm the 4th owner. It was only driven 1 winter in its life.
OPTIONS
Air / Tilt / Cruise
Heated tan leather interior
Power windows & Locks
Power & heated mirrors
Power 4-way sunroof
MFA Dash
Headlight washers
ENGINE
2.8L 12v VR6
OBD1, w/ distributor
Engine Code: AAA
Stock: 178hp / 177lb-ft
GIAC Chip
K&N Intake System
Magnecor KV-85 Spark Plug Wires
Dyno’d at P+ a while back, and it made exactly the amount of horsepower that it should have.
I've always run full synthetic oil w/ Mann oil filters.
Absolutely zero error codes come up with a VAG-COM Scan
SUSPENSION
H&R Sport Springs
Bilstein Sport Shocks / Struts
Neuspeed Upper Front Tie Bar
Neuspeed Triangulated Rear Tie Bar
BRAKES
EBC Sport (slotted & dimpled) Rotors Front & Rear
EBC Greenstuff Brake pads – all 4 corners
Neuspeed Stainless Steel Brake lines
WHEELS
17 x 7.5 Borbet Type C Wheels
Tires: 215 40 17 Kuhmo Ecsta SPT - maybe 5k on them
EXTERIOR
Area501 Carbon Fiber / Fiberglass hood - Damaged. Some major scratches from rocks getting underneath the tarp during winter storage, and then heat/pressure damage in 2 spots. STUPID of me!!!! It will have to be painted over. I will include the OEM hood though.
There's 2 spots like this on the hood, and a tiny one on the roof
And yes, it is super dusty. Took this immediately after uncovering from winter storage.
Badgeless Grille
Mk3 Euro VR6 Deep Lip Spoiler
In.Pro. M3 style Red / Crystal tail lights
Euro front Plate (not shown in any of the pics)
X-Koted it about 1.5yrs ago, but from storing it over the winter outside incorrectly some scratches have gotten into the paint
MK3 GLX Glass Moonroof
Side moldings removed
Speed Activated Rear Spoiler - Automatically Raises At 77km/h & Lowers At 20km/h
INTERIOR
It's a late '93, so it's all updated interior, including voltmeter & oil pressure gauges down by the shifter
Momo Race 350mm Steering Wheel
Momo Race Carbon Shift Knob
STEREO / ALARM
You can talk to me about what I have in my car when you see it in person. There is an in-dash CD player, alarm, and some other stuff. I'll show you all the receipts. I've had lots of issues with people breaking in, so pardon me for not divulging this info
NEEDS
-New paint - That is the biggest issue with this car.
-Head Gasket - anyone that knows VR6's won't be surprised by this. It barely leaks. I'm not worried about it. Don't change it unless you want to put in some cams or something.
-Driver seat stitching is coming apart.
-Both side mirrors are fading because of the heated mirrors
Other than that, this thing is near mint. I promise you that you will NOT find a corrado in this kind of shape. Cruise working? Sunroof working? You find another corrado without those thing working, and kiss a couple thousand$ goodbye. Plus there's no error codes when you scan it. It is an amazing car, and it's practically impossible to find one in anywhere near this kind of condition anywhere in Canada.
This car has been VERY good to me with repairs. It's been treated well, and it's treated me well back.
Everyone loves these cars, and you get looks everywhere you go.
I haven't decided for sure yet, but price will be ballpark $8,000-$10,000cdn. Probably for $10k you're going to get:
-The stock 5 star 15inch wheels w/ Kumho R Compound Race tires. The R's were used for SSIS 2007 only and are worth $800
-Brand new never installed Euro VR6 Headlights - These are actual VR6 units and not the G60 ones, worth about $1400
-Brand new never installed Neuspeed front and rear sway bars worth $500
If you don't want any of that stuff, I'll probably sell for $8000.
Let's talk. I love this car, but I've pretty much done everything i've ever wanted to do to it and its getting to be time for something new.
If someone is truly interested in it, I may be able to bring it to Edmonton next weekend (Aug 28th)
Thanks,
Chris.
