Scirocco Central

So what plans have you got for your 'Rocco in 2013? Ideally I'd like a brake upgrade, arb's, more aggressive geometry set up, possibly new summer wheels and a front splitter (however new house purchase means none of these may happen :( ) I'm looking forwards to gti international at its new home and ...

Renewed my extended warranty and break down cover for another year. £232 up from last years £219.

Service, mot, a/c service and road tax to do this month too. An expensive Rocco month!

Had a maintenance wash done by the lovely Milly at MCC.

Happy new year fellow 'rocco people! :-)

Welcome along Peter, glad you got my e-mail. I'm sure Chris (RW1) will be along shortly - what he doesn't know about the scirocco really isn't worth knowing! I can't chip in anything about the 2.0 or the R but if you would like any info for the guide on the 1.4 160 hp I'll be happy to help! One thin...

My 18's are 18x8 +35 and are fine. Those will be the same just smaller.

Merry Christmas everyone!

With a 6.5" wheel with a 45 offset you'll have 15mm more inner clearance but the wheel will be 23mm further into the arch than stock. Not great aesthetically! Try http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to find out what differe...

41 is the stock offset with an 8" width. Around a 35 offset is good with an 8" wheel to fill the arches out more.

6.5 is the width in inches and et42 is the offset -the lower the number the more the wheels stick out.

F1's for me too. Really liked them when I've had them before. Not tried the p7's though. Also look at love tyres and oponeo for prices.

A pleasure mate! :-)

Best place would be the dealers. Or you could try eBay for a wrecked one at a scrappy?

I'm pretty sure the Abt springs are re-branded Eibach springs and the Abt kitted cars like Ryy's have stock dampers with the uprated springs.

Itg who make it did say the gains are amplified on a mapped car (which mine is).

On mine run before and after fitting on the dyno it made a peak 10bhp and 13lbft gain.

There are dyno graphs for with and without the filter here http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... =12&t=6998" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as I ran the development version of the filter. Had it on my car for ages now and really can't fault it. Recommended!

Love tyres and oponeo are very good too for good prices - sometimes better than camskill

Had a maintenance wash done by Russ and Milly at Midlands Car Care. Looking a lot better now:-

Any1 had any experience with Revo or Bluefin? Was thinking off purchasing a bluefin as there plug n play ? Might be worth asking on the tuning part of the forum, you should get more input there as they don't get out much :D Ha! If it was my money it'd be revo rather than bluefin - gains have been l...
