Default well......i debated this once, but awd won me over

i once really wanted a corrado, b/c i love they way they look, and the mass availability for anything for them. but, i figured it'd be to expensive to convert it to awd for my likings ;-)

so do you wanna spend big money modding a cq, or not so much modding a corrado? thats your question

Default Not really. Quite simple compared to others....

a wiring schematic is very handy from the Bentley Manual.

Default A Corrado is like having a needy girlfriend and >>>

requires a lot of attention very often. With my mast one my task was to maintain the car well and bring it up to a sporty spec- suspension, engine (manny, cams, chip, mounts), rebuild old stuff (front sub etc) and spend time keeping up with the stuff that kept failing.

With the next project car, I am hoping to do the same but spend a little less time on failing parts and a little more in "improving the car" from a handling, power and aesthetics perspective while making the car more drivable on a daily basis if need be.

Look to put in an O16 tranny from a 4KQ. They're cheap, strong, and geared the same as the CQ.
