Scirocco Central

glad you're enjoying it Old Boy.

I'm finally going to pick mine up on thursday. yipppeee!

dont forget the pics....cant wait to see a black one or silver one for that matter......and again congrats guys

well picked her up today. damn she's a fine looker.

drove into the dealer car park and there she was...all washed and looking gleaming in the sunshine!

First thoughts...what baggy gearchange? its spot on!

Noise...well there is a nice deep burble at low revs, almost drone ish. sticking to 4k rpm limit till i get past 500 miles. Then I'll start experiencing the power properly. Loving the sweep of the needles on start up

Boot unlocks via key, don't have a problem with that at all!

Ride is very good at the mo, on comfort setting anyway! Will try the others at the some.

The girls at work have given it their seal of approval, which is always good! lol

Will try and resist the urge to mod it tho. Can't wait for my Ring trip now. Yippeeeeee

Excellant news Lee catch up soon

yeah let me know re VWR. You can get a closer look then lol

have posted on the other forum now. Cheers for holding back mate

i'm at revo next tuesday morning for a certain file

i'll have an idea on monday regaridng vwr, looking like we may be doing zorst at milltek hqbut need to sort out some pads and looks at some wheels

Didn't think you would be disappointed. Sounds like Rising Blue's don't have a "baggy" gearchange!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy

Shocking how VW decided not to fit these bits as standard!

GTI2RocR, if you don't mind sharing, how much did these parts cost and are you getting the dealer to fir them for you?

cost around £150. And I'm getting a mate to help fit it (he's an ICE guru so likes to rip cars apart anyway)

Can any of you lucky new R owners tell me if it has a spare wheel or a can of tyre weld like I heard ?

Tyre weld mate!

GTI2RocR - any chance of some more pictures? Cheers!

Might do some this weekend. Needs a clean tho!

Haha, picked up mine today. Pictures and words cannot explain how happy i am with it. Cant believ the difference between the R and my old GT

Also, yes it comes with tyre weld not a spare wheel (with a air compressor i think aswell!)

better change your profile quick spamdog!

excellent, my first mod is going to be a nice little sub hidden in there just to pep up the bass on the Dynaudio. I've already had a chat to my Audio guy I'll try to get him to take some photos and do a build thread

2nd I will sort the ride height/handling out , KW have announced Variant set up for the MKIV Golf R. can't find any mention of a Scirocco R set up yet, possibly because its the same as the GT's ?. Anyways I fancy a set of V3's and some Anti roll bars's and possibly a few other little tweeks.

3rd once the cars done a few thousand miles a remap.

would anyone know how much it was to be done by the dealer? ive not got a ICE Guru... maybe we could share lol, and are there comparision pics of it all done prior and after?

I recall someone recently asking & it was stupid money for what it is.

we have the instructions here covered cup holder instructions & this gives you an idea of what the covered stowage looks like http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... =38&t=1512" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as long as you take your time & don't force anything in ways it clearly won't go its perfectly doable yourself

(on a side note I have the ashtray version of the covered stowage available, without ashtray insert or trim though, which I may finally get round to listing at some point, if anyone wants to make me an offer)

Oh I got the bits from my local TPS branch too which is cheaper and quicker!!
