    very nice find, 95's are the only Corrados you can bring across to the states from canada due to the air bags (too bad they got the US knee bars though..easy enough to change out :P). Love the recaro interior on those too, one of these days I'll add them to mine ;)

        My good friend used to have one. It was great and a lot of fun...when shit wasn't broken and you didn't look at the prices for parts.

                    wheels are 16x7.5 et15 after spacers. 205/40 falkens. As for electrical issues, knock on wood, this car hasn't been an isuue, but I have heard horror stories. Parts are no more than my e30 was, except for stupid little things, like random plastic peices will be 75 dollars because you can't buy them individually. I miss rwd, but I can cope. I'm just trying to enjoy my drives to and from work with a little cruise inbetween. This fits the bill pretty well. I miss my e30 a lot though, and hopefully she will have a garage mate soon.

                        Ask and ye shall receive. Not the best pic, but it gets the idea across.

                          Aren't all corrado versions available in the states, or?

                            Well both the G60 and VR6 was available in the US and Canada, but the US never got the 1995 VR6 (1994 was the last year). The biggest difference is the 95 came with airbags.

                            In the US we got the crappy anti submarine knee bars and power seatbelts. In canada they got the Euro parcel shelves and standard seatbelts. The Recaro seats shows above was a later option only available in Canadian cars, US got standard cloth or leather seats. Canadian VR6s also got a 5 spoke wheel and full size spare to match that US VR6s didn't.

                            The only thing good the US cars got that the Canadians didn't were fog lights. Due to crash test standards for front bumpers, the metal rebar behind bumper needed reinforcement so this didn't allow for fog lights in Canadian Corrados. The G60s got a painted plastic filler plate to match the bumper, where VR6 cars got a dummy fog light lense.
