scirocco R in AU

[rennenhaus]

Volkswagen FINALLY decided to offically bring these into Australia, and I've been waiting since the day they first released them overseas.

I was very happy to pick up my Scirocco R (after growing up with a MK2 Scirocco Karmann in Canada) last Friday, and just thought I should share a picture



many.. many parts to add to it

cheers -ian

Have seen your post on VW watercooled "back" home. Nice shot. It seems there are more cars around in sydney at the moment than elsewhere. I still haven't seen one in Melbourne other than on dealers forecourts.

Nice ride! White rims suits the Rising Blue well!

More pictures, please

[rennenhaus]

few more pictures!





and went for a drive with a mate on the weekend

Doesn't look out of place with the R8 does it.

Looks awesome! What wheels are those and specs if you don't mind

Nice, not a fan of the wheels though, IMO they ruin the look of the car.

I picked mine up from VWRacing UK, wheels are made by team dynamics (1.2's)

18x9, +35
tyres are 255/35R18

it's partly form, partly function for me

have found in years of tracking and tarmac rally events, wheels are a consumable item.

so i like wheels that tend not to bend, but when they do, easy (and cheaper) to replace.

i think the white will tie in a bit better once the rest of the car is sorted, much like my old R32 was

[clauuualc]

like the rims

Wanted to see how they look on a Scirocco so that I can decide to buy them or not...

Thnik I'll take them after seeing your pics...
The only problem is that I must stick to 17":(

Do they come in other colours? Had a look on their website and this is all i found

Can you point me in the right direction? Appreciate it

[jinrai]

Here's another site but they don't have 18 X 9 +35

Are you sure it's not +30?

[rennenhaus]

positive it's +35

VWRacing UK brought them in to use on their race cars I believe

[jinrai]

Is this the same wheel? do you think?

[Hannan]

They look quite similar.. I think the rims look really small on the car aswell as making the car look higher.

[jinrai]

I think the pics are deceiving, it's actually only 5.7mm lower to the ground and smaller in arc gap...I'm thinking of going for bigger tyres 255/40/18 make the gap smaller and when it's lowered it should look nice...the offset of these wheels are perfect! Love it!

[clauuualc]

That's not the car from VWR?

[rennenhaus]

quick update:

finally got most of the engine mods in place; Milltek TBE, VWR intake, HPFP + 145 bar fuel reg, Forge DV + Twincooler





and then finally started getting suspension and such in place; VWR springs, H&R sway bars, Supaloy control arms, VWR engine mounts



next... brakes.. and maybe some wider rubber

[Junaid]

Some nice mods and nice power!
