i dont know if those motors would fit in a raddo but im sure some of the tech guys on here will...honda wheels?

G60 is 160hp stock.

The supercharger usually craps out around 80-100K and by 160K it needs an engine.

It's 4x100. Factory Honda wheels wont work, and some of the purpose made for Honda aftermarket wheels wont work either because the Honda hub center bore is smaller. Also, some 15" wheels may require spacers since the Corrado came with 11" brakes.

It scares me that you're asking about body kits... ricer... but here you go.

you could rebuild the motor probably needs a new tranny too(dunno much about rado trannys) ditch the s/c and drop in a turbo or you could swap it for a 1.8t

JDM = Rice... Just messin' with you. Room mate drives a 300hp CRX HF that looks dead stock.

Easy.... Don't we all want to convert this guy to VW?

[Jetta2.slow]

jdm is just like euro to most honda guys so dont go flaming him for wanting a body kit, If some one wants a rs4 body kit for their a4 does that make them a ricer no it makes their car look euro. not all body kits are ricer some can be tastefull. So please dont flame some one for their opinions this aint vortex....

PM'ed you my AIM screen name. I've had my G60 almost 3 years and have been around them for longer than that. I personally don't care for body kits and have never seen one I liked on a Corrado but I know of a few places.

no offense but that was the stupidest statement i have ever read... spending money on a body kit to make your car look smoother makes u a ricer? then so does anything u buy that isnt 100% performance oriented, like aftermarket wheels.... theres alot of nice subtle body kits for VW's, theres also certain ones that i personally would not put a body kit on a corrado is one of them, that dosnt mean i dont respect a corrado with a nice RS bumper and m3 sides or something like that.... and in regards to your other statement that most people who say they are JDM are ricers(stupidest word ever) im sure they could say the same thing about all the VW guys that call themselves "euro"... he asked for sites with some more info not a bunch or ricer comments

Chill the fück out guys.

The above smart ass would be my roommate, he IS a converted Honda guy. Someone who it quite into the Honda scene and spends a good part of his day answering body kit and JDM questions from people he knows are in it for the wrong reasons. It's not what the car looks like or is built out of, it's what the people are about. He has a thing against body kits, and just thought he'd put up a smart ass post, something Dakoda does about 20 times a day (ok, ok... 8.17 times a day).

As for the "euro" vs "jdm" thing, take me for instance, quite often I flame on people who claim to be "so euro", but it's all in fun. I like the euro thing, and I like a lot of the cars. It's the people who are always talking about how euro they are that get the most shit from me. Be JDM, but don't go around telling me how JDM you are.

And Josh... you don't need to apologize before you bash on someone. Think about it like this. I like your car. I think it's really really cool. I also think it's the exact opposite of what my optimal MK4 would be, but I respect it and want to dip my balls in it.

Bottom line... we all do cars... I know and respect people with lowriders because they share the passion.

For some pretty good body kits go to Estrictlyforeign.com and for a sick turbo kit go to ATPturbo.com. You said Air Force Academy, are you in Colorado Springs?

Okay, here's a brief summary...IM me for more details.
The G60 has a 1.8L supercharged motor. It has 158hp stock at the crank. A stock charger in good shape will push about 11-12 psi. The chargers should be rebuilt every 60-70k miles. Make sure the cog belt for the charger is in good shape because if that breaks, so does your charger. I highly recommend Kompressor Kanada(www.kompressorkanada.ca) for charger rebuilds and upgrades. I could give you many good sites for parts, oem and aftermarket. I personally like to stick to the original G60 but you can keep the charger and do a 16V swap. Other common swaps are doing a twin screw charger, 16V twin screw charger, turbo, 16V turbo. Both 1.8T and VR swaps have been do. Honestly though, if you want a VR, buy an SLC(which is already a VR).
