Scirocco Central

Finally after some gentle persuasion I was allowed to drive chungsters R on the 80 mile round trip to work yesterday
Certain patronising rules were laid down which of course I ignored

Certainly made me realise how much I miss mine such a great fun car

The one thing I never really liked about my R was the brakes, never gave me much confidence for some reason, but his AP's really are the business.... Well worth the money IMO, especially for the track.

Still love the Miltek, the noise is awesome, Lee still sometimes thinks its too loud but I love it.

Hope he enjoyed his polo powered trip to work as much as mine.

Think it's got a bit louder now with the new dog bone mount fitted.

Don't knock the Polo (R) it's a good lil car

Was surprised you managed to increase the average mpg tho

how you finding the sachs and the mount, i reckon you should do the top two

It's good! Bedded in a lot better than the one in the GTI

Mount not really tested (wheel hop reduction) as bedding clutch in.

I actually think I need more boost and stage 2 rather than mounts

But mods program is suspended for now while another expensive project takes priority

Is that replacing the Thomas the Tank lunchbox

wow amazing Keep it up bro!!!!

cheers, just trying to get one ordered and need to be sure, i am also considering piano black cover and surround but i reckon that might be 5 button only ? so i will need to find the 5 button bottom

here you go.



the part numbers i posted earlier on this thread are for the 4 button version due to a bit of mis understanding.

i'm sure there is a 5 button bottom part for it (mk5 golf gti was 5 button wasn't it) so just get one of those! No idea what my 4 button version is from (mix and match numbers from arluts how-to thread) and a bit of help from the local TPS place (they liked my R a lot so was willing to help)

Hi Chungster

I am looking at doing this mod to my scirocco, I have one question, did you convert it from a 5 button to a 4 button or did you always have 4 buttons to begin with?

I changed from the standard 5 button to a 4 button version (as its a Jetta part number I have I think)

You can get a 5 button version for a mk5 golf gti but I don't have the part number for that

Thats cool

I just wanted to make sure I wasnt buying the wrong part for my scirocco

I will buy the 4 button parts and convert it to 4 buttons

thanks for your help

Back from a fantastic weekend of sunshine at the Ring with Jane. Did 8 laps, survived all the porks and race cars flying by us and having steak on a stone at the Pistenklause.

Some pics we've found so far.

Jane got a big grin from the passenger of a black Roc GT that I had to let thru as he was clearly more talented and braver than I was thru Hatzenbach

We saw him afterwards driving past Ring Werk complex and he flashed us fair play dude!

looking good i'm assuming the APs were spot on, GT was probably braver having the 312s

Back to SRR for a health check on the R. Last dyno'd over a year ago and wanted to see what upping the timing on the Revo has done to the numbers.



329.9 bhp and 340 lb/ft of torque. AFR is spot on. Well happy considering it's still Stage 1.

Couldn't beat this monster tho! 661 bhp through the rear wheels!





VXR8 Bathurst S Edition. 6.2 litres of LS2 V8 power with a Supercharger bolted to it!

It has more power than my R at only 3200 rpm! Takes the biscuit that does

number chaser

nice and smooth though

Now I know what you mean about thread title. I was like uh great minds...

Nice figures..I went stage 2 today and mid range has come alive

Put it on a "proper" dyno and see what it's producing

Will do when I get the chance. Want oil catch can. Spark plugs and coilpacks first lol

Or willy waver ? Or both !

The noise from the VXR was bonkers...
