Thinking about a Scirooco R in 2012
« on: October 01, 2011, 05:49:16 pm »
I was wondering what a Scirroco R with

Revo stage 2, Miltek, BBK, perhaps springs as the dampers seem good, ARB's, 9x18's like the R Cup. would be like . I also wonder if the front camber is adjustable and if they have alloy suspension arms/hubs etc ?

Any thoughts appreciated ?

Seems a 2010 manual at say 10k miles will be low 20's by xmas/new year. Just a thought....

I'll give one a go, just to tick the box. I was originally thinking 1M but I don't think they will be 30 by next year  :ashamed:

Dont forget Nav & iPhone prep  :grin:  That tom tom / iPhone holder of yours is shocking  :rolleye:

I'd really like a 'rocco R, not an option now with Tfsi_Jnr round the corner  :jumping:

I'm gonna fit a RNS 510 and phone kit anyway for the golf, it's just a thought on what I might do a little research on my next daily driver really.

I think your right, unfortunately regarding the 1M. the trouble with the focus RS is it's image tbh. I really worry they will all be in the wrong hands by the time I got one, if you get my drift  :ashamed:

Take a test drive mate, you will sell your house to buy one, i know what you are saying but rs es hold there money pretty well so you are looking at a fair bit down the line before the skint boat chavs get them.
Its just the well off chavs that drive them at the moment :laugh:

Tbh apart from a ttrs, 1m and focus rs there is nothing else that really floats my boat at the moment, the edition 30 is a good place to be

I had a Rising Blue Rocco R.

Great car, I bought it as an interim car, because the price was right, sold it to fund the TT.  It was fully loaded (Nav, leather, 19's,  Dynaudio, Folding mirrors, ACC, Rear parking etc), one owner with 6k on the clock.

I added a Rear view camera, OEM Bluetooth and Cruise.  It was a great car, seemed a bit more sharp than the Ed30, more nimble.

You won't be disappointed.

I sold it for quite a bit more than I paid............. :happy2:

Hmmm

Looks very nice indeed, add 9" lightweight black alloys and it could be an interesting £20-25k option...

Looks nice with white alloys ........

i don't see what you would gain from a Rocco R (over your pirelli stage 2) except a different body shape and a hole in your wallet  :signLOL:
