Steve Nodarse: 1992 VW Corrado SLC

The 1992 VW Corrado SLC had been a favorite of Steve Nodarse ever since he was introduced to the model by a friend. Since making the purchase, Nodarse has made gains in horsepower with a 2008 VW R32 engine swap and custom United Motorsport tune, and has also made modification to the drivetrain and suspension with a little help from VF-Engineering, Performance Machine and JRi.

FAVORITE MODIFICATION
“Wide body because [it] gives an aggressive look, and is subtle, and not over the top.”
