    be warned that the rado 2.0 16v is a bored out 1.8, not the same as the tall block 20.16v found in mk3s! and yes it is 136bhp as a result. torquier though, I believe?

    Jolfa, what reg was the Corrado. If it is pre K-reg then you are looking at 1.8. If it is a post 93 car with the 9a (should be on a bar code on the cam cover, unless its an abused model etc.), then you use your flywheel and the KR cams.

    Does the car still have wings on it. I am desperately looking for a drivers side wing, but it has to come off of a post 93 car as they had slightly wider arches and bumpers to accomodate the wider track of the VR6.

    If the bonnet is the late style one (__----__) and you can get it cheap enough it is worth quite a bit. Could probably still sell an early one ( --____--) but their isn't as much demand.

    I think you'll have to put an 020 flywheel and clutch on it?
