Pirelli & Scirocco the end of an era

[Lynsey]

Saw these pics over on oxford forum - looking forward to seeing them at a oxford meet in the new year

Love the rocco 

[wigit]

i've finally taken some pictures of the pirelli and roc, they are on the first link as was easier, enjoying the best of both vw worlds at moment

[Greeners]

I say again Wigit, VERY nice 

You are a lucky man! How do you decide which to take in the morning, or do you have to share?

my missus loves the gti (the extra punch does show on fast A road and motorway driving having finally gone head to head) so i never get a look in these days and she needs the more practical motor, i'm hoping a remap on the roc will tempt her out of it for a while, both have done around 4,000 miles and as they are both standard you begin to notice the slight differences in handling and ride, i reckon the mk vi gti with acc and the diff will be a cracker

[wigit]

finally got round to addresseing a few issues with the scirocco today

first off a trip to APS for some KW springs which have given it a 20mm drop and had the desired effect in terms of reducing the arch gap and ride quality, standard dampers remain so ACC still works all be it a bit firmer, car remains spped hump friendy so no scrapes, a few pics of before and after







the road from brackley to buckingham gave the springs a great work out on my way to superchips hq to have the remap put on, many thanks to Jamie and his team for showing me the operation, superchips had dyno'd 8 sciroccos all of which have been showing more than the 197bhp, out of the 8 one other has recorded the same figures of mine in standard tune, quite pleased with the end figure



noticable difference occurs above 3,000rpm with a linear power delivery in the style of the standard set all be it not had much chance to try it, but looking forward to a trip up to buxton in it this weekend

next up will be a remap for the pirelli

Does look better on those springs 

[Greeners]

Nice numbers there bud! 

The Rocco does look so much better for the drop (all be it a bit dirty!) 

[tony_danza]

Looks much better and those remap figures are superb too. I know there's been a bit of debate about this, but is your TSI the newer version of our engine or the same?

[Top Cat]

I reall wish i didn't like the Rocco so much. 

Wigit no more photo's
