Cheers for the comments guys :)

Have you thought about smoked indicators on the tails? The only change I would consider, I can't wait to see it in person!

Have thought about smoked but I want a cleaner look so I'll get some all red OEM lights, match the red 16v badge, nice and clean, works with the blue. A few more niggly bits to be done like smaller tyres up front, tail lights, replacing little bits and pieces etc but it's getting closer and closer to what I've had in my head for the last 6 years  :laugh:

Spooln, you'll see it at Stance Off if you come along again  8)

Hey, Just brought myself a NZ new manual 93' 2.0L 16V Corrado, tidy little car, have purchased a set of coilovers which should hopefully go in, in the next couple of weeks fingers crossed, also on the hunt for some rims. Here is a few photo's. . .

FTW 8)

More info is necessary!

What parts did you use for the 24V transplant?

My suspicion levels turned to almost certainty when I saw you needed a face lift bonnet, following your need for various parts (my old 280mm 4x100 discs being one!) ;)

Does this mean the KR is going in the 'rocco?

Can't be bothered putting a build thread up, maybe later.

It's running 24v BDE motor with 70,000kms, VR6 O2A box, Sachs clutch, Viper remap & de-immo ECU, corrado VR6 cluster & original key, Woolf 2.5" cat back exhaust, solid front mount, mk3 sub frames, G60 280mm brakes, BMC air filter & mk3 VR6 steel sump. Goes like a cut cat... Mad respect & thanks to 80 Vert for the build.

I've bought 3 other cars to get this one to where it is now. One for parts, one for the wheels, one for the bonnet.

Not necessarily..

I would comment but he trashed talked me whilst leaving SO2012 - reckons his 24v might have the wood on the Vento. Young fullahs eh, sheesh.  :laugh: Hahhaaaa.

I will say it sounds unreal though - definitely one of the nicest VR6s I've heard on WOT, lawd they sound magic. Shifts along pretty well too - as you'd expect. All in all a pretty nice grocery getter.  >:D

Haha you know I was only joking  :-* My brother said he needed to go and see a chiropractor after that little rip up the hill in the Vento! No way my little whip would even remain in your rear view mirror!!

Yeah for sure T,  :laugh: 24v's are a ripper combo for a great street car, instant torque and response is addictive. You'll have to get some track friendly wheels and tyres and take it for a skid at HD or somewhere soon to explore the potential. You'd have a blast!
