Scirocco Central

I understand they're going to do a write-up about the project in English later, but for now some pictures and text in Finnish. They're still updating the forum thread about how they realised the project check back later and there will be more I guess.

Funnily the car they have modded is one that I actually went for a testdrive in while it was for sale at a dealer some 2.5 years ago.

Question: You said you have "welded" some bolts in place? Isn't that a structural issue?! In that a bolt (when done up with a nut) is stronger than a weld - so you have now downgraded the bolts strength to that of a weld (weakest link and all that).... Or is this a high strength weld?

There are two places i welded:

1. The middle support element for the cardan-shaft has to be bolted to the car. The car does not have the 4 studs/bolts in place. Here you have two options: 1. Bore 4 holes in the underbody of the car and weld 4 studs. 2 Bore 4 holes and use 4 rivet-nuts. It's not a problem of strength because the middle support frame has a pretty soft rubber bushing inside.

2. i have to weld 3 studs/bolts to the floor-pan to fix the fuel-tank. they are 5 mm studs, not much strength needed

if you want to do it, you need some money, some patience and determination...
Gather the parts in a few months (it took me six months to gather everything )) ) ...cross your fingers, pray to god. and start cutting with the angle-grinder ))
After the first cut, when you see the sparks flying, you know you're royally fucked )))

4. the fuel tank was a mess because i could not find one that fitted so i bought a fuel tank complete from Audi TT S 8J 2012 and then i cut the neck from my tank and welded it with plastic on the audi tank
