corrado 16v engine into 8v mk2 gti

[adam_mk2]

yer im the same guy thats posted on edition 38, dont think ill be changing the gearbox atm as i want to do the conversion asap, can always keep it as a spare though and do the change later on, only deoing this conversion as i got a whole 16v corrado for £170, also with the exhaust ill use the corrado system but could i use my scorpian backbox off my 8v? hope so cuz ive only just bought it

its definitly worth having 'in stock'
get the pedal box, the cylinder on the pedal all the pipe work from it including the pipes to the brake servo reservoir and the reservoir itself as well, plus the gearbox (duh) and the cylinder on the side o it.  Gearstick and cables too tho goes without saying!

Get on the corrado forums, trim bits n panels for em sell for mucho dosh! the electric mirror kit will fit a mk2 except the mirrors themselves and glass (motors out of the mirrors fit a mk2 tho) plus if it has electric windows nick the 1 touch loom & control box out o it.  its hard work to remove in 1 piece but its worth it when you get it fitted to your car, the actual window motors wont work in a mk2 but the rado loom will work with the mk2 regulators.

Front seats are also the greatest seats made by VW during that period. Much better than the MKII or MKIII Golf efforts.

WHen your done sign up to the corrado forum and sell what's left. Stuff like headlight switch, heater control panel (The slide type) and other bits can fetch a few quid. Give Chris on here first dibs though!
