Scirocco Central

Hello Guys.

I'm new to the forum, but certainly not new to the VAG scene.

Here are a few pics of my VW Scirocco:
































It is a 2009 2.0tsi, it's all pretty much standard at the moment but I do hope to mod it at some point. The only things I've done so far is retro fitted a RNS510 to replace the RCD510, I've fitted a Volkswagen Racing panel filter and got pressed metal number plates.

A bit about my car past.

My first car was a 1989 Mini Racing Green. It was a 998cc with a stage one kit. Sounded awesome and would go off the 90mph speedo! Was a good little car.










This was my 2nd car. A 2003 Seat Ibiza Sport 130bhp diesel. It started off as a completely standard car. Some of the first pics I have of it (I put the exhaust on)



Then got some Octavia VRS Spiders and a facelift front bumper:

Then the modding started getting serious. Got it wound down on some FK Coilovers, fitted a Leon Cupra R splitter and Cupra R rear bumper. Also fitted a Forge Front mount intercooler, but this wouldn't last long as it was absolute rubbish!





Height comparison between my Ibiza and my parents





Off came the Forge intercooler and on went the Seat Sport intercooler (as fitted to the Cupra as standard).







The car finished off having a hybrid PD150 turbo. A Garrett GT1749VB. It was remapped at Rs Tuning and made a healthy 240.9bhp and 380ft/lb. Needless to say - was a pocket rocket and certainly caught some people out :thumbup:

And now the car I wish I'd never got rid of:











And how can you not love this noise?



I fitted a complete Milltek system on the R32, Manifolds, sports cats and non res cat back. The noise was absolutely incredible! Dont think you can get better.

The car I had after the R32 was a 2007 Vw Jetta 2.0tdi 140bhp Sport. I needed something a bit more practical for my situation at the time, but didn't take long before I was craving more, even though I had a Milltek cat back and Awesome GTi remap on it. And that's how I ended up with the Scirocco!

Slight update!

It's happened! :thumbup:






It's a Milltek Non Res cat back system. I've had Milltek on my last 2 cars and wouldnt have any different. The build quality is second to none. If anything, it sounds quieter at the moment on initial start up (with standard you get the nice burble). Driving normally you can hardly hear it, but open it up and it sounds much better! To start with, once I'd fitted it I was quite disappointed as it sounded no different to standard. But now it's starting to get some miles and carbon up a bit, its sounding much better. Even the Mrs approves which is always a bonus!

Some better pics after a clean. Proper camera, good clean and showing off the Milltek!

Now lowered on VWR lowering springs and APR stage 1.

Looks amazing. Love the colour!

Thank you mate! I'm surprised how many older people like this colour actually haha. I've had a couple of OAPs say they love the colour!!

Looks good with the slight drop... Miltek pipes look good. Just wouldn't pay their prices personally.

Thank you, the drop looks more in flesh. It's absolutely spot on for my liking, I wouldn't change it 1mm.

As for the Milltek, I've had them on my last 3 cars. Love them. Lovely note to them. And the price isn't too bad. If you keep the car it has a lifetime warranty so you're only ever going to buy it once!

Best colour!!!

Better than the drab silver, white and black that litter our roads. Literally it's like "ooh a red one" and sometimes "blue", shock if "yellow" (thanks to Seat, it may get better!) and then a green... I tend to look and hope they smile back!

I love the Scirocco in Indium Grey and Viper Green. White ones were everywhere when they first came out. it's rare I see another viper green one! although there is an R lives about 20 miles away.

If i hadn't of gotten my black one I would've gotten the viper green! Absolutely love it! [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Thank you!

its looking good love the viper ive had one for 2 years

You're not a million miles away from me Richie!

Looks awesome mate, my parents have a viper green and it makes my rising blue look naff haha. Love the mods too, very subtle so far. Look forward to seeing more!

Thank you mate. sounds like you have cool parents haha. Rising blue is a nice colour! just not as in your face as Viper Green.

The mods won't be as extreme as my last cars as I'm now a home owner and doing the house up, so car takes a bit of a step back. but things will change. Just not every month like they used to haha

Hi mate ware abouts are you im in bradly stoke bristol
