Information / Adjustments : Corrado VR6 2.9 DOHC Head skimmed and flatted (Circa December 2005), so Probably Approximate 3.0 -3.1 liters engine capacity. Six Branch Manifold. Cross Piper Induction Kit. (Need to fit a Heat shield at Some Point). Rolling Road / Remap Full update, before 17-10-09 = 194 BHP / 205 BHP After at the wheel now!. Leather front and rear seats and cards throughout, electrically heated front seats (Two heat switch settings located near hand brake). ***In the near future I plan to update the interior*** Probably I will change to Electric Recaro's at some point in the future. Probably with the Same seat stitch / logo design, etc, we'll see. VW logo in purple stitching on seats and headrests. Full leather dashboard, leather pockets on seat rears. Alcantara on A, B, C Pillars & the headlining and rear speaker shelf. Beige full floor carpet, including floor mats with 'Corrado' insignia. Now removed the bee sting aerial, and Replaced it with an internal windscreen mounted one. Removed the rear wiper motor and housing, and blanked and smoothed wiper hole. Removed the side repeaters (Replaced Them with trick Audi TT Mk2 mirror repeaters which are smoked in my original OEM Corrado mirrors, very difficult to achieve, but it just looks like it was factory fitted now!). Removed side rubbing strips, holes filled and welded. Pulled Arches and shaped to a flowing curve. Full Respray in my C's original colour of LK4Z Bramble Metallic with pearlescent uplift, includes color coding the number plate surround. FK Springs and Coil Overs (fully adjustable). Replaced with Weitec Springs and coils (fully adjustable). Eibach anti-roll bars (front and rear). Previously running on 17 inch rims status Chrome Alloys Wheels (now changed!

Momo Competition Steering Wheel now replaced by the original Corrado steering wheel recovered in matching two tone purple and beige leather. K and N Air Filter. Replaced with Piper Cross Induction kit. Corrado sounds and drives amazing now, I'm biased, but I think it sounds a lot like like an Aston Martin V-sound !!.
