Re: Manifold - where to buy?

Found one selling 280 or 380for two year VW warranty, then labour costs on top.

Quick read on the delete don't think it would really benefit me, i also think I'm using more fuel which if it's a side effect of the delete i don't want.

Manifold - where to buy?

So I'm needing a new intake manifold, any suggestions (and links to the correct one) to get from?

Looking at previous comments it's cheaper to order from the states, but is this still the case?

boot/load liner

Anybody use one? I'm looking at one as often have a dog or work stuff in the back, I know moisture has soaked through and wrecked the factory spec sticker underneath and the carpet isn't in the nicest condition. Any recommendations? It'll either be the official one or seen cheaper ones with a carpet...

wishbone bushes

So I have a set of springs coming that I need to get fitted and at the same time thinking I should replace my MOT advisory of "front wishbone rear bushes deteriorating." Any idea of costs? Should I get the complete set done at the same time? I could keep with my modding theme and go for so...

Re: What did you do to your Scirocco today?

I could do a video but not sure if audio quality would be worth it or would be any different to any other potential ones on youtube. Please do! There are no decent Scirocco intake videos on Youtube. What's really needed is a decent quality recording of the noise in the cabin; both normal driving an...

Re: Ash's Candy Thread

How did you get on with the foliac paint? Looking at caliper paint for mine?
Also your new centre caps. I've bought cheap before and they're obviously cheap, as in they're not embossed and almost like feels like a chrome vinyl onto a black background.

Re: What did you do to your Scirocco today?

Got around to fitting this Gives a deeper noise, increases the warble slightly from the engine and emphasizes the higher end whir noise. Throttle is slightly quicker too, I think. Not huge quantities and if I paid full price I may have been dissatisfied but happy with it as a toy . Ahh cheers, good...

Is it more than just an exhaust that makes it pop/babble?

Re: what tyres is everyone rocking?

Not Falken Ziex, I probably would have chosen them after some reviews from here. Grip is awful, can get spin while "flooring it" in 2nd and 3rd.

Thinking I am going dunlop's for my next set of alloys.

Re: VW Warranty help

Nope. "VW HQ" refused to budge and admittedly gave up chasing them. I had a seperate complaint to the dealer about how they dealed with the situation and they upped the offer to 75% good will. Still not what i really wanted but still better than what it was.

Re: James' black on black Scirocco Project pic heavy

I've been that guy that had the ladders fly off a vehicle.

Had them strapped to the roof bars of a navara, one bar snapped which ripped off the other one and sent the zarges flying. Luckily no-one was injured and no vehicles (apart from the navara) damaged.

Re: clutch replacement

No worries, it is starting to feel a tad heavy and pulling away doesnt feel as smooth but I think some of it could be psychological due to trying to avoid the squeal.

edit:

Also thinking down the road to get a stage1, is a "sports" clutch needed for this?
