BBS rims are ready for powder coating

5 06 2008

To restore my corrado’s original look i got some BBS rims from a friend. They where not as sharp looking as they where supposed to. I brought them to a company who made them straight and removed the damaged from the edges. Now they are ready to go to a powder coating shop so they will look brand new.





Gasoline Meter

31 01 2008

After almost 4 years of having a driving license i came to the following conclusion.

“if the meter really indicates zero then u have to go to a gas-station”

i found that out this morning luckily i was only 400m from the station.

So now i know how far i can go with my car.





Air-intake update

21 01 2008

after some weeks driving in my corrado i wanted to update to and open intake system to give the engine an more powerful sound.

i wanted to keep the original look so i wanted to build in something in the original air-box.
i got an air-filter from a friend of my who sold his engine. after some cleaning and re-oiling it i went to the local hardware store to get a 70mm 45 degree’s tube.

i mounted the special green mounting plate to the air mass meter. Then i connected the tube together with the air-filter. I also removed the pipe at the front of the air-box to make space and to make a bigger hole for more air and sound. 

so i kept the standard look
cooler air then outside the air-box
less dirt and dust

After selling my Renault Clio 1.4RN  1991 i didn’t had my own car for 6 months.

I worked close by my house so i didn’t need a car.

I owned a Renault Safrane 2.2i manoire 1994 for a few months just for buying and selling.
I bought it not running and dirty traded it running and clean again.
