My 1993 Corrado VR6

This is my Corrado SLC.

Starting with the suspention, H&R Race lowering springs were used and are damped by prototype Tokiko Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks and struts, from Kevin's Racing in Carson, CA. In conjuction with the shocks and springs, Neuspeed front and rear anti-roll bars help level out the car during hard cornering. Stiffening up the chassis are Neuspeed front and rear strut tie bars.

Power is up from stock with the help of a few modifications. A Neuspeed Chip controls the vitals of the engine. On the intake side of the engine, a Neuspeed P-Flow intake with a custom cold air system is used. This cold air intake was made possible by removing the carbon canister an fabricating a mandrel tube from the air sensor down throught the opening where the air filter sits. Now the engine breathes cool air from inside the fender rather that hot air next to the engine. Next is a bored out, OEM german throttle body and matched ported to the intake manifold, which was slightly Extrudehoned. Cams are stock for now, but Schrick 268's will soon actuate the valves. On the exhaust side is a Genie stainless steel header connected to a Marcor high flow catalytic converter. The rest is the 2.5' Techtonics exhaust with twin DTM tips.

The exterior is the factory Classic Green Pearl Metallic paint. The front license plate mounting holes are shaved, as are the front side makers. This gives the front of the car a much cleaner look, since no clear lenses are available. Modifications to the rear bumper include the widening of the factory exhaust opening to allow the fitment of dual 4" DTM exhaust tips. The factory look of the rear exhaust opening was kept by custom molding the contours to match...not just hack the hole wider! Rims are on order and will be added as soon as they come in. They will be 17"x7.5" DP wheels with 215/40/ZR17 Toyo Proxes T1's...I don't know the name, they are still not advertised it this country!

The interior mods are simple. A 320mm Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel resides on the steering column with Jamex pedals under the dash. A Momo Race Satin shift knob on top of the Neuspeed short shifter controls the transmission.

The stereo is a Pioneer DEH-835R head unit with DSP and remote control. A six disk CD changer is hidden under the rear arm rest . Front speakers are Boston Acoustics Pro Separates. Rears are Boston Coaxials. They are powered by two Rockford Fosgate Amps. The Sub is a 12" tube for easy removal and less weight.

More Mods to come...
