The Pre-Build Thread - Brownies Sootchucker Rocco

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Right.....

Car is due next month.....

I've decided on the following mods from the getgo. They're going onto my new 140PD Manual Scirroco in Candy White, its a bit of a plain jane at the moment but not for long. I have lots of freinds in Finance and Leasing and lets just say it came with a rather large 2 figure discount and I didn't get stiffed for the whopping 2.9% price increase in January.

So heres the list with who I have helping me with certain items - Feel Free to suggest any mods that I've missed,looking to keep it fairly subtle - dont need big power, believe it or not its going to be the first Dub I've put big brakes on 

Im in the North West - not feeling the love with the likes of Awesome so defo need some recomendations

RNS510 - Darren
Privacy Glass - Local Tintmasters
Helios Alloys - Already got em Jay working his magic on them
Cruise Control - Stalk aquired already new  - needs fitting and coding
Black Vinyl roof - Raccoon manchester - Cheers Matt
Brakes  - Some country and western 
Short Shifter - Forge Front to rear and Side to Side
H&R Lowering Springs
Carbon Mirror Caps - Local CF guru from British Aerospace

I not after a bodykit per se, maybe some sideskirts and a valance front and rear, if you've seen something in the flesh that works then lets be hearing about it and even better lets be seeing the pics.....

Theres some budget left so LETS BE HEARING WHICH MODS I'VE MISSED!

Thats what I thought - 28k miles as well

Nath - Im hoping so - problem being roccos have arches like the bloody Mersey tunnel entrance it needs a good drop so they dont look odd. Having said that invariably theres a 80-100kg of brake crap in the back which narrows the gap from tyre to arch somewhat 

Double revved up over this now

Woooo!  the posh pilot does Vinyl roof.     

I think the front bumper needs something on Roccooz, it needs the gaping mouth split up with something vertical like a pair of Fangs. Nathan's idea of the R bumper would work well. 

I also would get the work done at your brake fitters garage rather than Awesome. 

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Gave my good parts guy the Scirroco R bumper part number and he just froze with smoke coming out of his ears muttering "does not compute........does not compute.......does not compute" so thought I might leave it a couple of weeks...

Thats my problem Im 40 this year but in my head im 22, if the wife would let me I'd have a Muircielago Poster on the bedroom wall!!!!

What stoppers are going on then Dave. Are you looking at putting the Rocco AP kit on that you mentioned last week.

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Thats an option, although not directly.

Just bought a job lot of used calipers and in that job lot is a load of CP7040's which are the ones in the scirroco kit from AP, the only problem is that even though the discs are two piece they weigh about 10kgs a corner.

In terms of outright performance the 4 pot 330mm setup ticks the most performance boxes but I wouldn't have a clue on track so wasted on me really

Then theres the R8 rear  kits......R8 fronts have gone to a CW scirroco owner funnily enough!

I also have some Ford GT calipers that were going to go onto a 345mm R32 disc, had the carriers made but stumbled across some 355x32 Alcon rotors which are simply top quality and would work really well with the Ferrari F40 pad.

Also had a B5 RS4 setup but sold it begrudgingly to somebody on here so they could join the TC brake club......

And finally simply a 345mm Scirroco R / Golf R setup which is basically a S3 setup with different pad springs (which I've bought)

Nathan over on ASN has the R8 Rears on the front and S3 rears on his A3 and the pedal is simply perfect and they fit under the 19's without spacers.

So I'll probably copy Nathans setup  - it drives real nice.

VC - you met my wife? She puts up with so much brake crap all over the house and anybody who's been over to mine would agree she puts up with a lot ! Shes a canny one though she waited for the place to have a caliper on every flat surface and then announced that she needed a "hobby" as well........so Im now paying for a hay eating machine that craps a lot....

TC - Nice pic, you've sat up the front there'd be nowhere to put it!!  I could walk through security though and they'd miss the gun and strip search me for my nail clippers

worthsee car 2008 with rims and black roof, key to the cabon roof is how it ties in with spoiler, i haven't seen it bettered than the detail here
