just a bit slower than i would like :party:
wigit:
time for a bit of a catch up on the rocco as appears to have been a while so the May and June 2010 (yes shocking its been 12 months) updates were
first up was the production version of the ITG, still on the car and going great guns
next was the ceramic tips to the milltek/vwr tbe (appears i'm the only rocco owner to have gone down this route)
after 30k the clutch was slipping on the rocco so off to VWR for a clutch which went in a week before Inters last year
VWR TDs turned up in July 2010, running 8x18 on 35 offset (stock rocco rims are 41), made a massive difference to the car in terms of how it drives but a bit marmite
car was still running revo development stage 2 file
wigit:
revo came up trumps later in the year with the stage 2 file for the tsi, difference was light and day over stage 1 and incarnations of the development file
in november 2010 was invited by Revo to Bruntingthorpe (2 days before the snow) for a test day to get some performance figures and for a feature with US magazine Eurotuner who wanted to drive a rocco
we felt car want 100% (plug change later rectified this) but with 2 up and a full tank of fuel got some respectable times
also gave a chance for some nice photos and why i love rising blue:
Deako:
Looking great. How much did VWR charge for the TDs? Competitive compared to going direct with Rimstock? Im after some, as i loved them on the Clio.
