Taken from: http://www.corrado-vr6.info/background.htm

The Corrado is based on the Mk2 Golf floor-pan with some parts donated from the Passat. However, some of the parts and much of the bodywork was made by Karmann.

 :undecided:

Anyway back on topic.

Just because the corrado uses mk3 parts, it still is essentially a mk2 golf chassis.

Nope...
I was talking of the differences in handling between a Corrado VR6 (not an earlier 4 stud car) and the Golf VR6....and the comments stand.
Anyone who can be bothered to trawl through ETKA will conform which bits are shared with a Mk2, Mk3 and Passat respectively.
So before everyone decides otherwise, perhaps they should try that...and have their eyes opened and blinkers removed.

No-one is talking about bolt on parts. Otherwise i would agree with you.
I'm talking about bare chassis, its a mk2.

your arguing with yourself ess three  :grin:

the question asked by wayne was 'is the corrado based on a mk2', to which the answer is 'yes'

i dont have etka, but i do own a corrado and have owned 6 mk2's and worked on all of them a hell of a lot and i can tell you the corrado is most definately based on a mk2. it used more mk3 parts later in its life but that makes sense as the mk2 stopped production and mk3 was released. As Nick has said its a parts bin special.

and anyway theres not a chance in hell i would have bought a car based on a mk3  :laugh:
