Scirocco 2.0tsi | GTI Ed35 | Polo Blue GT | Ed35 Goes Home

[wigit]

been a busy week, first off dyno run on revised Stage 1 map for later K04 cars before going Stage 2

gloss black diffuser



3" race system from Milltek with Ed35 tips for the time being, real quality feel to this and the spring clips for retaining the tips are a work of art in how they are engineered to cope with expansion, i have 2 iddy rear silencers as without its a bit too full on





chassis has also received some attention given whacking on a set of lowering springs doesn't make it a fine handler, so this time round some Bilstein B16s with 2 way damping, real quality kit and so easy to adjust, ride is firmer but damping is superb on these so car is way more comfortable than standard depot a healthily drop, a set of ARBs were also put on

last mod for now are a new set of engine mounts, gone for Revo this time as wanted something between THS and Vibratechnics, really well engineered but i was a bit nervous on trying this out, no worries just a little intrusion but car feels more alive







only other plans this year are brakes, intake and a spare set of rims, car will remain stage 2 as it feels really well balanced, and in someways feels like a 80s/90s hot hatch and reminds me a bit of my company 309 GTI Goodwood

thought it was about time i gave a bit of an update on the 35

ordered a set of 35 dice from Germany



a few pics of the car at BVF last year, poignant as this was the last time I met RW1 with his Mk2 Scirocco and was the last BVF show

suspension replaced so running Bilstein B16 PS10s and Eibach ARBs set up by KPM Racing in Silverstone to just how i like it











car had its first service so now time to get modding again

revo intake installed with smoothed TTS engine cover, now makes some great noises and as if Darth is in the glovebox, car is really responsive with this on



attention now being turned to front brakes given i have a set of S3 rears ready to go on



the stock watkins glen wheels are a nightmare for clearing BBK even needing spacers on the APs, been toying with some lightweight wheels and wanted a change from TDs and decided to go for the TSW Nurburgring RFs in 18x8 in matt gunmetal running Yokahama Advan Sport V103s as a change from the forum norm











also tts cover was looking naked so a temp fix applied



thanks for looking

Looks good. These are great looking cars.

picked up my new daily driver a couple of weeks ago which is a Polo Blue GT with the 140ps 1.4 ACT tsi engine so has the cylinder deactivation, great car and hitting 50mpg straight off











i have some Polo GTI chrome exhaust trims for it and an oem bluetooth unit on its way to replace the bury unit

AP 4 pots turned up today for the 35 which increase the stopping power

Decided at a couple of days notice to take a Road Trip to Germany with just the car, the tom tom and me, plan was:

- Harwich to Hook of Holland on Ferry
- Holland to Wolfsburg
- Visit Autostadt and VW Museum
- Wolsburg to Nurburgring
- Nurburgring to Calais via spa

Plan for the car was always to be set up for fast road use and capable of some track day action and car was faultless, coped with jams in Belgium, 150+ on the autobahn and the ring, a few pics of the car on its travels

How easy was it to remove the rear diffuser?
