The car had a choppy idle before installing the eBay Corrado G60 140 Amp Alternator . After slapping this on it cured the rough idle and flickering HID's at night on cold start up.
eBay came through for me. I located a 140 amp (vs 90) alternator from a shop in L.A. The Bosch rebuilt G60 alternators use good, but not the best bearings. The owner said he'd use a good core, put in the better bearings (SKF) and build one from scratch for me (gratis). He recommended against using the OAD on the pulley.
Zimmerman front rotors with ebc pads. Stainless braided brake lines on all four corners and ate super blue brake fluid.
I've used G12 and Prestone in one of my Corrados. No noticeable difference in performance or running temps. I did 100% complete system flush when changing over. I like the Prestone for availability.
NEW: Bosch dist. cap
After testing, 14.8 v at the starter when cranking is better than the .7 volt drop before! and now there's no battery drain!
The Direzza's are pretty sticky and take a lot before they break traction. I'm very happy with them performance-wise.

I just did the chains + headgasket and a bunch of other misc stuff on my Corrado earlier this year. My guides were worn pretty bad and it only had 120k on the clock.
Not to sound mean, but Mintex redbox are terrible pads.
