    mpg

    I got about 30.5 mpg at a steady 85 to 90 in rado and its the 24v lump running about 250 bhp , very happy with that tbh
  8. The evo is probably the best car I've owned as an all round car , it was 420 bhp 415 lb of torque so a good balance , but my type r Scoob was more fun in track . The evo has such a good yaw control it takes a lot of the driving away from you and controls it . Were as the scoobs with there dccs gearbox means you can have more of a laugh . I shouldn't of sold the evo though tbh .
  9. She is starting and running fine now thanks , just hope she keeps doing so , the wife thinks it's great , but she is a vw fan and has had 2 vr6 golfs and a colour concept 8v , I was going to get her a 08 plate civic type r till she seen this and said sod the civic ,
  10. It was road legal tbh till I went a bit mad it's stripped big time for the weight factor , and I now trailer her to track days , and yes 800 first cost but cough cough don't tell the wife 3 grand later lol looking at 2500 for the turbo set up , such a giggle though
  11. I paid 800 for the Clio , I've seen off many a better car in it tbh pound for pound takes some beating , it's all about having a laugh I think , cadwell is my fav uk track in the Clio donny in something 500 bhp plus , roll on next year will be doing spa and the ring , hope mareham is on as that's a blast
  12. Any on here do many track days ? I'm a bit of a track slag tbh been doing them years , will be doing another 14 to 18 next year as they are a laugh , few pics of old n new track toys of mine Currently running a Clio 172 getting boosted next year with a low pressure turbo set up about 240 bhp @ 850 kg ran scoobs n evos for years but the cost has just become mental hence why went French as there soo much cheaper
  13. Years ago I had a car with a plastic clip on arm that held the seat belt forward , so easier to grab hold of when sitting down , the old Vauxhall calibre had them on as standard , I'm trying to find one for the corrado as the wife is a short arse at 5ft 3 and has the seat well forward , any one got a link for one as I'm struggling to find one , cheers for any help Gary
  14. Well might of spoke to soon have now got car runni g fine again , so fingers crossed the wife might be keeping her ,
  15. Well think the answer is they are drawing 60 amps off the battery wich is then causing a low amp out put towards the fuel pump , , fuel pump being further away from the battery , car is currently starting every turn off the key so fingers crossed it's sorted

The car was then struggling to start so done a obd check showed fuel pump relay , wich I replaced , car still wod struggle to start so more head scratching ??? I then removed the rear panel were the clicking noise was coming from , to find two 30 amp relays , I did the old one of tapping them etc , still no joy . So I then took bo
  17. Well that didn't last long after a week of ownership the car is going back to the garage in question and getting a full refund as there is too many gremlins with the car I've put 300 into her already and still Won't run right , not prepared to put any more into her , so anyone selling a nice corrado , must have good leather good history and not be a nail
