I've owned both the vr6 and G60. Corrado.
Currently still have the G60, fully rebuilt engine and full respray last year. This car is with me for life ❤️
Jonathan Chohan ya I wouldn’t sell it! Keep it and enjoy the car! I wish I did that with my old R32
My black corrado is in the vid! What a cool surprise!
Love when people see there cars in the videos. I always try and put as many clips as I can so hopefully people can see there car in the video.
I just bought a '92 SLC and I absolutely love it! It's definitely a money pit but there is just no better feeling than hearing that VR6 scream down some twisty roads!
Couldn’t agree more! I love all the VR6 cars they are just absolutely amazing!
Money pit it will be... But you will love every second of it !
I still have my 93' Corrado SLC VR6 Original owner :)
Oh wow that’s pretty amazing!
I have a G60
The Corrado is not the "predecessor", it is the "successor"...
I have owned my VR6 for seventeen years and it still makes me smile when I drive it. Fantastic car despite the running costs!!
David Sotheran couldn’t agree more man! I look at the smiles you get from the experience you can always make more money to pay for it lol
16yrs for me, bought it when my son was born, still got it, just passed mot.
Nearly 26 years for me. Original owner. Anyone starting a museum?
Thanks for another great video Andrew. Always wanted a Corrado. Had an 85 GTI, I loved it !!
Great video! I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of this.
Thank you! Ya I’d love to get one also! Just need to finish my R32 build first.
Great job on the video man! id love to buy one of these one day! they are crazy expensive!
Thank you man!
Thanks for using my corrado as an example in your clips 😁👍 #propercorrado
Minister of Fresh yep of course! No problem man!
Great video. I'm currently swapping a 3.2 VR6 to my 92 SLC
Enjoy man! The thumbnail car is a 3.2 swap Corrado
love the car i bought a brand new one in 1992 slc vr6
Well made video
Thank you man! I appreciate it! Trying to get through as many cars as I can
Cheers! Would be great to see the original videos links in the description. All channels put a lot of time and effort in those videos ;-)
I can work on that! I love your content man! Your videos are amazing! I do give credit in the videos since I know now much time and effort goes into making them!
Nice presentation
Thank you! Appreciate the comment!
this car is my holy grail!
Successor, not predecessor...
Also the Store was only sold in the last year, and only in the UK.
Yep thank you for the comment! Idk why but I get that mixed up 😂
The Storm was only sold in the UK, not in the remainder of the European market. Also, there is another even more rare version, the Corrado Campaign. Only 6 were made. Again, only for the UK
Motoriousss interesting. The UK got all the rare Corrados lol
@@ThreePedalGarage honestly I have no idea, they weren't even offered in Germany. I am a proud owner of an original storm 😁
Motoriousss yep lol Germany usually gets everything but this time the UK got lucky lol
@@ThreePedalGarage There is actually an even more rare version of the Corrado, only two (2) made, it was the 4 door hatch (Estate) Corrado Magnum. As of last year, they were owned by the same person. Don't know if he still has them. Was in Germany in 2017 at a VW car show and both of them were there. In 2016 they were both up for sale in the US for around $100 000. From what I've been able to dig up on them they are supposedly prototypes.
Andree Ahlm hmmmm interesting the cool idea!
Lol, I've been to VOLKSWAGEN car shows where no one ever even had heard of it when I pulled up.
I had a 1990 G60 with the G-lader supercharger replaced with a Bahn Brenner lysholm twin screw..... no silencer, sounded like a fire trucks siren and was definitely louder than one.
Definitely a fun car but almost 400 BHP is a bit much for a fwd, (relatively light) hatchback.
That’s pretty amazing! Ya sadly no to many people know about these cars... hopefully as they get older people outside the VW community learn more about them
@@ThreePedalGarage I didnt know what they were and then my brother had 2 all of the sudden.
He had a red 1993 vr6 SLC with a number of upgrades.... and a ?1991? G60 in yellow, then I had mine and a drunk driver almost killed my brother in the red vr6....... Shame about the car because his vr6 was by far the cleanest corrado I have ever seen to date.
Love my 93 slc rebuilt from a 13 year yard death with only 40k on the original car no rust and everything working , now at 57k with new or re sourced parts the last thing was heater core and heater box flaps recovered and all new mishmoto hoses which was just done, she is ready for the cold again .
That an amazing story! Glade to see your rescued the car! I’m sure it’s a fun car to drive also!
I picked up my 92 slc for 6,000 at 149k on her just to be rust free. But neglected by the last owner. But I havent found a car that just puts a smile on my face every time I start it.
GhostArmageddon that’s a solid price for a rust free Corrado! I’d love to have one and build on up as a project car
Fun fact: did you know that the McLaren F1 mounts the side mirrors of the Corrado? (I'm a Corrado owner since 1993)
Yep it’s a really cool fact
I had 2 g60's and wanted a vr6 so opted for the mk3 GTI. Decent compromise and I drive it daily.
wed3k ya the VR6 sounds amazing! The G60 are ally nice also just a little more to maintain.
@@ThreePedalGarage I got rid of the problematic g60 and replaced it with a twin screw bbm charger. It's a bit loud!
@@wed3k that sounds like a solid upgrade to do to the car! I’d love to get my hand on a Corrado some day!
Thanks Andrew for the interesting video. I am owner of a 1990 G60. Those electric seat belts on rail are amazing invention (for the US model only)!! I would like to ask you any reference for Corrado parts and if you know Corrado restoration specialists? These two things I find the most difficult now for a restoration project to the original.
Thank you! Ya the seat belts are pretty cool in the car lol. I currently do not k or any shops that would be good for restoration work. I know the Corrado is a weird car to work on so it would be good to find an expert to help with the restoration.
It'd be cool to hear about the Audi 4000 and coupe. I have an 86 Coupe GT and the 10v 5 cylinder engines are pretty interesting.
I’ll have to do some research! Thank you for the suggestion!
Man...... I miss my B3 VR6 passat wagon..... 🤦♂️ first VR6 I ever owned. Been a 8V 2.0L guy Mk2/4 all my life... but that VR6 ROAR was so goood...
Alan Ramirez ya man the roar out of the VR6 is to die for! One of the best sounding cars! The new 2.0t are crazy for modifying but it just doesn’t get the VR6 sound.
2.0 8v is great. Overlooked because of less power. But it 's light in the front and has a very direct feel in every aspect. Liked the newer model with 2.0 more then my two older G60 s
I’m currently rebuilding a 1990 Tornado red G60. She ain’t cheap. 😅
Oh I’m sure she ain’t lol I’m rebuild my MK4 R32 and they are money lol
@@ThreePedalGarage it’s also crazy that mk4 are almost collector platable now too. I guess some are 😳
@@LithiuM230 ya the MK4 R32 and any special edition car are basically collectible at this point. Especially if they are low miles and not modified
I own a g60 and love it. Don't think I will ever buy a VR corrado. The Lysholm G60 is just to much fun! Especially with a 6 speed 02s
Sounds like a fun car!
But there is also a corrado G60 TRESER?
I have a BBM Twin Screw on my '90. The powerband is way better than my 72mm pulley G-charger.
I got 3 of these. 2 vr6 and G60😀😃
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 that’s pretty nice! I wish I had one 😂
the corrado was also on top gear vs probe vs prelude
also the mclaren f1 has corrado sideview mirrors
That’s a cool fun fact! Did not know that!
The sunroof track update; where can I find / order it??? My brother has a Corrado, and I bet his sunroof will need repairing / updating.... Sunroof track update link, please....
Where can i find the sunroof parts that where fixed so they dont break that easy???
Great vlog as always dude .Really like the G60 edition . Seen a few VR6 models about in the last decade. Rare car but looks incredible. 😍 . I would enjoy all types of car content. I am more VW but love vlogs on other cars . 👍 .
Ya they are beautiful car! I’m trying to keep doing VW content but also add in a few other brands to see if I can grow the channel faster. I was looking into doing a few BMW episode.
BMW vlog sounds good . I’ve had 6 in the past . Your channel will grow dude . It’s a great channel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
weyland1000 thanks bro? What BMW would you want to see?? I was looking at three options. M1, z1 or E36 m3
I used to have an E36 325i and 540i as well as others which included anE36 330i Touring but all great cars . I switched to VW as I had always wanted an R32 and had owned many BMW also had 2 Alfa’s . A 166 which I regretted selling as it’s very rare and a 156 2.0 T spark . I would be happy with whatever you choose dude .They all sound good .👍
weyland1000 thank you for the feedback man!
What's this updated sunroof tracked you're talking about? Where can that be found? I need it! ;)
Exactly , would have loved to keep the original sunroof but put in a Passat by one , and then accidentally threw away the steel one DOH
Hmm yes I don’t think he really knows much about the Corrado really
nice corrado in 2:30 ;)
Ohhhh yes it’s a real beauty! Love the wheels!!
Where do you get the updated sunroof rails?
I think it is actually disconnected now. I know when I made the video I was hard to find them but they were around. I can’t find them anymore.
I have a 2.0 16v Corrado :) :)
I’m sure it’s a fun car!
Gee years ago I should have bought the Corroado at VW dealer across the street or next to Honda dealer instead of buying my old Prelude despite it lasted over 450k miles. Sure the Golf R is good and will be better in '22, but it just doesn't have that Corrado sexy look and style. IMO looks even better that the Scirocco.
I couldn’t agree more man!
No one features the Audi Allroad , could you please do a feature on this hidden gem ???
Thanks
That’s actually a great idea. The older allroads have the B5 S4 engine in them and the new one looks super beautiful!
hehe I just got one today and paid 1300 for it, and it runs kekek
5:39....1988, not 1998 :D
Haha whoops yep messed that up.
Used to own one. Mind that doorhandles break easily.. Avoid the g60 unless you have money to refurbish it often. Or customize it with a different turbo. Better to avoid the g60. It is the car's most fragile part. I loved this car. It was my first car. But its upkeep is expensive.
Ya understandable. Most German cars as they get old are a lot to maintain.
I've had my G60 Corrado for 11 years, and the G-lader works perfectly, despite being now 31 years old. Renew seals and bearings in the G-lader every 50.000 km, and it lasts. Mind you, if you keep it standard. Or if you want to tune it, get a g65, a G65 or a G75 charger. Spins out way over 300hp and that seems to be the limit for a fwd. It's now very hard to get body parts all over the planet. Wings, etc. Install metal part into the door handles, and they won't break again.
Renew the lower inner rib wheel every now and then, say every 10 years or 50.000 km, and avoid it exploding.
Seal the + wire on the glove compartment light switch, the trunk light and the main light switch, as they can move under hard suspension etc, and make a short. Better safe than sorry.
Don't overlube the G-lader as it just sends the Kluber grease down into the intercooler. And DON'T use standard length bolts on the intake side of the G-charger, as they need to be cut off a few milimeters, to avoid potentially crushing the intake house side of the G-charger.
The G-60 drives the best, as the 2,9 VR6 is more nose heavy. Bot all Corrado's have a really high level of cornering capability. It can easily follow a Lotus Elise on twisty roads. It's that good, and it says a lot.
The 1991 G60 in Europe had more power, as the now shut down VW Motorsport used them in German hill climb races. Therefore they developed a better ported cylinderhead and ported intake manifold and exhaust manifold, and mine totally standard, makes 177 hp. With a modern 200 cell cat and a little exhaust work and a removed intake restrictor, it makes 190 hp - a ka a the VR6 in european models. Great fun.
Bigger 312mm brakes from other vw cars fit right on. Good for tuned cars. It's low and expect a lot of stone chips on the whole front.
Im my humble view, the Corrado is by far the best beginner sports car you can have. It's fast and it takes corners like not many cars can do. It's got a very fine balance in it.
I'll keep my G60 Corrado for may years still, I hope.
Cheers.
I have a Corrado VR6 with 100k miles that I bought new in 1992. I have a few vehicles so I almost never drive it. But I am very hesitant to sell it because I have kept it stock and don't want it turned into a ground rubbing joke that looks like it is driving around on broken shocks (like the examples in this video).
oh wow, where abouts are you based?
The blue 16v Turbo is mine. ->bagged_16vt
Thorsten Meyer it’s a beautiful car man!
I just recently got into vw, does anyone have a restoration catalog for vw
Sadly not that I’m aware of. There is VW classic parts which has some parts. Other then that there are a bunch of other website that provide parts
God I wish VW/Audi made an affordable sports car. I got the next best thing: A clean and unmodified 2005 Audi TT Quattro Coupe 3.2 DSG. Lol.
Yep the closet thing today VW/Audi makes as a sports car is the TT RS lol I always wanted VW/ Audi to build a car similar to a lotus. Put a VR6 turbo in the rear and make it really well balanced for handling.
@@ThreePedalGarage I think the closest they got was the Porsche 914 which was a VW in Europe.
@@Clodrock yaaaa that is very true!
Can I correct you they didn’t make a Vw Corrado g60 16v only a 8 valve as far as I know .
I believe it was mad by VW Motorsports. If you google you can see it was made. Very rare
The vr6 corrado... the only car I wish I hadn’t sold ☹️
It such a good sounding and handling car
The only car I wish my sister didn't do 3 rolls off the freeway. My heart bleeds every time I see a Corrado. I would trade my Carrera 4S for a 93 SLC in a heartbeat.
There’s no better VW to drive. I have a 92 VR6 it’s the best weekend car to drive.
Hell ya man! I agree 100% with yoy
He missed out the wipers are shit
Opel Calibra V6 entered the chat
:)
👍🏻👍🏻
I got a 1990 g60 but when I was driving it home the supercharger broke and idk where to get a good one
Where are you located? I would either look online for a shop that rebuild superchargers or look if you can buy a used one
@@ThreePedalGarage IL Chicago
@@ThreePedalGarage and yea I’ve looked for shops but haven’t found nun
@@hugorangel5213 I know their is a supercharger rebuild shop online that you can send your supercharger to. I think it’s superchargerrebuild.com. I know they do V9 rebuilds for the Mk4 R32 supercharger setup.
@@ThreePedalGarage thank you I’ll check it out and like the casing and the inside like exploded so I doubt they can do a rebuild but I’ll check it out
How much VW Corrado G60 TRESER are in the world right now?
Sry, bad englisch
Simon not sure how many G60 Corrados there are left. I think I’m total around 97k were made out of all the Corrado models.
@@ThreePedalGarage I mean the special TRESER tuning with 210 HP
I spoke with a family freind that works for VW of America and he said it was pronounced the "art-E-on"
ty camp haha thanks ty! I couldn’t figure it out
I hope that's the right pronunciation, I'm sure the internet with correct me if I'm wrong 😂
Haha see I was right you corrected me lol
A lot of wrong information!
YES! Perhaps I can can make a living talking about things I know nothing about with added elevator music.
There is a lot of made-up statistics.
Finding one without rust should be the only concern.
That’s a good point a good body and the rest can be fix. It’s hard to find one with no rust
"VW has no predecessor in the pipeline" (?)..Errrrrrrrr..........
You're not wrong mate I went from a Vr6 to a Mk5 Golf gti with its god awful tfsi engine, bloody awful in every respect 😢 I agree as per the head gasket and the sunroof but don't overlook the heater matrix, an absolute pig of a job 🐷🐷
Yep I agree with you most hearted cores are a pain to do. In all VWS. I just helped a friend do his on his GTi and it was not fun
I just got my VR6 and love it! Check out the video of it on my channel 🙌🏻
I’ll check it out
1988****
Yep I realized that! Thanks for the correction.
1998 to 1995? you mean 1989..lol
Yep lol messed that up
G40 was way better . Owned borh
Good to know! What do you like about the G40 more?
@@ThreePedalGarage it was way more reliable . The engine responded alot better , wound up faster and accepted upgrades better. Plus all that speed and fun for half the cost of fuel made this g40 my forever car. If u can live with its looks haha
The clutch is guaranteed not to be original. And expect to rebuild the engine as soon as you buy it.
That is not my experience. Not at all. I've never heard of any of my friends Corrado's needing that, when buying, nor mine. A lot of these cars were heavily tuned and driven by young people, and got overdriven, overtuned and crashed. Not many left of the original 89.000 examples that Karmann made in Osnabrück.
Cheers.
that stupid music ruins everything.
I’ve worked on the music for other series since I released this video
@@ThreePedalGarage keep up a good work man. 🤘
@@rim4iks thanks man🙌🏻
