Oh my that's lovely! Something about a white rocco!! Really wish I had gone ahead and bought one when I see nice examples like this :drool:
-
Are you down to KPM on Friday Shaun?
-
Im Hoping so pal 2 reasons, wanna see your big mod which I think I know what it is as I'm really toying with the idea. Then second I am hoping to get my seats and harnesses fitted which should hopefully be turning up tommorow, if not then I am screwed and will have to wait til next week. Have you seen the pics of mine all stripped out now, sounds just a tad louder than stock now!
-
Ps it's fine posting pics pal and cheers, good pics.
-
fkin awesome!
If im not getting a mk6 GTI in white then for sure ill be getting the Scirocco!!
Love em
-
Well, heres more of an update and i must say i wasnt to sure at first compared with my reiger bumper. However now its all fitted and wired in i am very happy with the overall result. My indicators are now in the headlight so an exact match to the R now with genuine leds which look a lot better than these copys floating about, and more reliable.

Very nice indeed :happy2:
-
:jumping: NOM NOM NOM!

Well sort of an update if you like, I have my seats and harnesses coming tommorow so will be down to kevs at kpm on saturday to get them fitted. Bumper came off again mid week to get the holes from number plate plastic filled and smoothed, pick it up tommorow so will get pics up. Also sent brakes off to dave for one of his quality refurbs should have them back next week so again will get picks up before Bedford. Steve are you going on the Saturday or the Monday?
-
I doubt mine will be ready for either of those days at Bedford, having more more work done over the next two weeks. :happy2:

Super light seats? I heard a bean bag is the way forward :grin:
-
So what you having done now Steve besides big holes being welded up! Mike I have gone for Suzuka pro carbon seats and they are very light. Have bumper back and fitted back on, looks really good I will get some pics upnwhen I get it back from kev next week.
-
Suzuka pro carbon is :evilgrin:
Think I need Diff, REVO & carbon bonnet 1st though... Std Cupra seats look great for OEM but weigh a ton
-
Love this rocco! :love:
-
New to the forum, first time I've seen this.. Looks nice! :smiley:
-
Well I'd just like to say first of all another big thanks to kev at kpm for doing a brilliant job and getting my seats and harnesses all fitted in minimal time, good service once again! They look amazing and coming home was a joy kev feel so more in control and no sliding all over the show. As for the oem seats Jesus I never knew they weighed so much you can pick the new ones up with 1 finger the oem ones need a bloody tele handler! 2nd drive back kev and the seats are very comfy indeed I will post some pics up tommorow bit late and dark now. Thinking about the next stage of the project already!
-
There is no turning back for you. :evilgrin: I will give it a year and it will be a full on track car. :driver:
-
Ha I'm not even giving myself a year in all honesty. I'm itching for the next stage already.
-
Only 4 weeks till the rockingham round of the Vw cup, I could have it ready for then.........
-
Awesome car, new bumper looks spot on :happy2:
looking forward to pics of the seats & harnesses...
-
Well heres the updated pics of the project so far. Hope theyre ok. The ones of the car just show the low ride now with coilovers and the bumper smoothed.

Looking mighty might fine Geordie, great stuff :happy2:
-
love the picture of the screen shaun, how long did it take you to get that shot? so much detail of the inside of the car. :confused:
no seriously, glad your happy with them, they will make a huge difference out on the circuit.
-
I know bloody piece of sh*t didn't come out kev! If you noticed aswell I had to give it a quick wash get rid of all the roadkill you left on the front end of it! Just leavin your place a pigeon nearly flew into screen then just at the end of the road at the bollards a bloody rabbit ran in front so I had to slam on! Is that really where all your cars crash not on the circuit!
-
lucky you had them std brakes on then. :ashamed:
-
Loving this!
What you done under the bonnet?
-
such an aggressive looking car. Love it!!
-
Looking great Shaun! What happened to the brakes? Lol
-
The brakes have gone off to be refurbed by good owd daveb. Should have them back soon hopefully as really didn't realise how sh*te the oem ones are!
-
Good stuff mate! I thought they would be off at the brake wizards ;)
-
What exhaust have you got on there btw?
-
Good to speak to you just then mate - car looks awesome!
Wouldn't mind getting a rocco myself but the wife reckons I should get something bigger like a jetta :rolleye:
Was looking at the black R at the back of VW - take a look when you go back for your car, looks the bollocks!
-
Looks real mean, didn't realise it was all stripped out inside :happy2: rocco's look ace in white, i'm off to pick up a customers white orig rocco for a spruce up.
-
Looks ace :drool:
-
Cheers for comments guys. Good to meet you holty defo go for rocco pal not jetta, theres no cred with a jetta. Off to bedford tommorow to test all coilovers and newly refurbed brakes out. Just changed to revo today aswell so see how that fairs. As pies said today brakes have no chance after a quick 20 mins out he reckons he could cook a chicken on them!
-
Well after a great start to the morning having atom and Westfield owners coming up to me asking what mods I had done due to the rocco overtaking Them, as kev was a witness to one owner who came over I can't repeat his exact words but it went something like "fxxx me what have you got under there". The afternoon though didn't go so well second lap after lunch and doing 90 round a bend I lost all power immediately followed by massive clouds and I do mean massive clouds of White smoke out the back with a smell of oil, we have put this down to the turbo as the engine is still fine on tickover and just at revs it clouds up again. We will know more next week! Just got bloody brakes fitted back up aswell gutted!
-
such a nice car dude well done :congrats:
so gutted i couldn't get one! if only my mum didn't have a 5 car pile up i'd probs have one.
P.S shouldn't harnesses be fitted to a pole? not floor? heard if there fitted to the floor they can and may cause back injury if you crashed while wearing them :confused:

Awesome, i want your job :grin:
Joe.
-
Well just thought I'd keep you in the loop with a few updates. I don't want to give away what exactly is on the cards as we speak as I like to give surprises! Let's just say that as the turbo has gone and kev has it I have asked him to carry out a few more mods and let's just say I am looking forward to them. I was at first a bit hesitant but after a lot of thinking and the turbo going I have decided sack it go for it. And of course the car couldn't be in better hands with kev just as long as pies keeps away with his chicken nuggets!
-
any news on why the turbo failed, how many miles has yours done?
looking forward to the plans
-
Not to sure as yet why or how it failed, it has had a hard life if I'm honest but still thought it would be more than capable of more than 9000 miles. I think you will like the mods pal as I am defo looking forward to them.
-
Firstly, I love this car, -well I did untill it come into the workshop pukeing all over the nice clean floor, :sick:
secondly, open heart surgery begins tomorrow morning I am very keen to find out what is actually up with it. Not that it actually matters, once the v8 is in and the roof is chopped nobody will care about your stinking k03.
-
Exactly kev have you decided what supercharger is going to be the best one to go for yet? Or would a twin scroll turbo unit be better. Is the tunnel gonna take much to do do you reckon!
-
Ps nearly forgot it wasn't my car puking all over your floor it was pies after all them bloody nuggets!
-
Well i suppose its about time for a bit more of an update. The car is not as many of you have known it any more and this is due to a lot of changes on my part i have decided to go down this route once and for all and stop toying with the idea. I do know it looks a mess at the minute but from what i have seen and known of kpms work i know i am in safe hands despite the pringles box! (no doubt pies couldnt find any nuggets)! If you have no doubt seen this steve i am afraid i am out of trax this weekend which i am gutted about but the end result as im sure you will agree be worth it.

Cough ***A Clio 1.2 will kick a Rocco R's backside...............fact!!!***Cough

Well it should no doubt kick more than a "R"s ass chungster lad soon as I get it back it's off for the big turbo conversion I feel totally lost without it and am missing out on all these bloody track days. However judging by the weather we've had so far it would be sliding rather than tucking into the corners anyhow. I will keep you updated.

You can always sort the traction issue too..... Put a 4WD drive train in it!
You'd seriously kick ass then!

Bloody he'll the things you could do with unlimited money! I must say I have thought about 4wd a he'll of a lot but you also have to remember the adavantages of less weight and less to do with 2wd in the dry at least in the wet ok we all know it's a different story. But in the dry a correctly tuned 2wd with the correct settings on suspension and right tyres would beat a 4wd.
-
Rwd option :driver: now that would be mega
-
i think you'll REALLY regret not doing a 4WD conversion. It is impressive what you can do with FWD these days but there is no compromise especially if you're doing a big turbo build...
-
It's also a he'll of a lot of time and money to carry out a 4wd conversion pat. I have been more than happy with all the mods I have carried out with the performance and handling without going 4wd. If I really wanted it I would have bought the golf r but then you don't get the look of the rocco which is what I like.
-
Thats what I like to see Shaun a few sensible modifications :wink:
See you on track soon I hope.
Neil :smiley:
-
Cheers Neil and I hope to be on track soon aswell pal bit there is a few mods being done at once so I think maybe a cple more weeks I'm out of the running. Bit gutted but all will be worth it. When's your next outing? Ps like your newest mod just seen it before.

Looking great, cage is :congrats:

Shorter driveshafts to fit into the quattro gearbox as you have changed your mind and going 4wd!
Do the rocco's not already have alloy front hubs?
-
Nah not 4wd unfortunately! the rocco is the same as mkv in regards the hubs are steel the rear ones are different as they are alloy as opposed to the mkv steel ones.
-
Well ive been off work today and got a bit bored so ive stripped and cleaned all the hubs and brakes up. They come up like new, in really good nick. Just need to get the car back and get the bearings put in and fit them up then im all set to go.

Cheers pal glad you like it, and you've seen it before I even have! All I've seen is pics mate, haven't seen any of the car at all since I dropped it off. However from what I can see in the pics I am well happy and kev has said the pics don't do it justice at a all! The wheels are needed for my tracking obviously got to have a cple of different choices of course :happy2:

What's the plan for the door cards now?
-
Kevs working his magic on some carbon panels Steve to finish the look off, you know what he's like, likes to experiment and does a damn good job at it! He's managed to fit the speakers flush behind the door with enough clearance for the window glass to clear and give a flush finish on the carbon.Have you seen it them Steve?
-
Nope not seen it properly yet :happy2:
-
lovely looking car, never had been a fan of the rocco as they always looked so plain and dull. but you have shown me the light!
-
Good to see you today mate :happy2:
Car was looking great, love the carbon touches on the door :party:
-
Omg, this is an amazing build thread...how did I miss this one! :notworthy:
AWESOME!
-
Yeah good too see you and catch up aswell steve hope that neil can get all sorted for combe aswell should be good if weather holds out! Heres some more updates for people who havent seen it, they include RS4 8 pots with pagid RS42 pads, alloy hubs whiteline bump steer kit, Ap fully floating 362mm discs, And main mod for the brrake setup was a new master cylinder which i cant thank DaveB enough for its took a good few weeks to organise and look into but we have got there and it is an amzing brake pedal due to the new master cylinder being able to push a lot more fluid through! The master cylinder and all developments of it shall be revealed by Dave no doubt once he is all ready as i dont want to rain on his parade. Thanks again dave and a big thanks also to kev and pies for todays efforts. Oh, Nearly forgot 2 new sets of wheels aswell one set with semi slicks and one with full slicks!

Looking Good!
Looking forward to the demo in the morning!!

This car is mad, had a drive in it this morning......
Full marks to Shaun, I know some people might think he's as mad as a bag of squirrels for turning a rocco into a track car but after this morning I get it...I really get it.
The boys at KPM have done a 10/10 job on the car - its running about 300BHP at the mo but felt like much more than that.
So you'd think that the only thing missing is a roundel on the door and a number on it, but it looks like a sleeper with the tinted windows, you can't really even see the cage from outside.
Regading the master cylinder upgrade - if anybody is interested then get in touch, its gone really well on Shaun's car and very much proved the concept of what we were trying to achieve, its still fairly embryonic but maths is maths and its a wortwhile upgrade opening up pretty much any set of brakes to the Mk5 Platform without the dullling of performance or extended pedal travel of say the ECS stage V kit.
Shauns pedal as he will no doubt tell you agree is awesome and he's running 8 pots now

Feckin awesome :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
-
One of the chaps who came with us on the last ring trip had the same wheels on his candy, Rocco R and it just looked perfect. They suit the car perfectly and are pretty light as well. Win win win. :notworthy:
-
like that alot :happy2:
-
Agreed! :notworthy:
Although I'd consider repainting at least one set in Gloss Black! :wink:
-
Stunning. Simply awesome. You must be happier than a dog with 2 dicks.
-
Cheers for the comments guys and yes I am more than happy with it I cannot stop looking at all the time and effort that's gone into making it the car it now is! I am keeping the wheels the colour they are for the time being, and maybe when they get damaged reconsider. As for being happier than a dog with 2 dicks I'm happier than a dog with 3 digs just need a few good days on the track now before the sea on finishes which is when my next mods will begin!
-
I almost forgot to say I now have my THS intercooler fitted so just need to see how that fairs up in the hot weather which won't be until next year now!
-
looking awesome mate! feel free to stop by the unit anytime ;)
-
That looks bloomin' mega. Well done and enjoy the rest of the season.
Stupid question but what are the wheel specs, obviously TD...but 1.2? or maybe 1.3? Offset and Finish style etc?
I'm needing/wanting some of these after seeing these pics, look fab on a white car, as mine is CW too but Golf shaped.
Yoko 048 tyres look great and only add to the cool.
-
Cheers JP does that include a free once over :grin: I will call at some point so you can check it out pal. The wheels are Vw racing ones which are supplied by TD and are same spec as the 1.3. They are 35 offset and 8.5 rim width, and have just been specially made this size as TD didnt have or didn't do this size, whichis the size I required for my tyres. They are finished in anthracite aswell.
-
looking forward to seeing u take this out on track Shaun :happy2:
So what you done with the Engine? you just done a turbo replacement for now? when's the big power upgrade happening? : :drool:
-
I'm looking forward to getting on the track again Lee, don't think somehow with this weather I will get my slicks on though! The big power upgrade is happening probably around October at end of season, im at VW Audi at Combe are you there?
-
yup i'll be there..booked up last week.
gone for 3 sessions. see you there! :happy2:
-
Very cool , what's the engine spec gona be ?
-
Yet another insane car... Great, great job! I like your car a lot. If you don't mind me saying the side skirts seem lower than the front bumper and they are not quite on my taste, but it's your taste that matters.
Keep up the good work! :drinking:

Keep up the good work! :drinking:
That's cos he's done a bit of a mish mash on the bodykit now - it has a R front bumper but Rieger/Niche Conversion side skirts. The first bumper he had was lower to match the skirts but didn't have a towing eye hole so to get round that he got the much nicer R bumper instead :grin:
-
Cheers for answering the question for me Lee bob on again pal!

Very cool , what's the engine spec gona be ?

Amazing Shaun :happy2:
-
Are you still running the Kw v3's? :happy2:
-
Looks nails! :drool: Love the VWR 1.3s. Fancy a set of these myself at somepoint!
-
Sick!
I want those wheels :drool:
-
Hi guys thanks a lot for all the positive comments, I am running the v3's and do find them very good so far. However now the cage is in and the car is really rigid I will see how I get on with the nexttrack day. The vwr 1.3 are also spot on especially with the ao48's I have on at the minute had a bit of fun this week testing it all out. As for engine specs I am waiting until the last few track days are out the way then it's off to get some extra bits added :wink:
-
Well just had my first outing at Combe with the cage and tyres on the weekend and had a nice dry day aswell. Have got to say the difference is just amazing the whole car just has no flex and is flat throughout the corners, and as for the grip levels it was unreal how much grip I was getting! Well enough to overtake cars I wouldn't have though anyway but it's not all about power as you well know. It's all power to weight and how planted the car is. The diff really showed it's worthwhile with some of the tight bends, could just keep on the power and accelerate a lot earlier in corners. Bedford I think on the 5th and then in for the engine work.
-
Saw this today and all I can say is wow, what an awesome car! Bet it's really nice to drive, keep the work up mate I'm loving it :xmassmiley: :happy2:
-
Lovely car matey - took some pics of it at Inters, hope you dont mind if I post them?

What wheels are them mate?
-
VMR V710's :santa:
-
Cheers luke yep it is now in at statlers getting quite a bit of work done! Don't give it away if you know what is happening but let's just say I am looking forward to the results and I think you know what maybe happening Steve! I will
Let you all know ll in good time.
-
Outstanding mate. Top effort there. You planning any racing series?
-
Haha yeah didn't want to say where I saw it or what's being done to it incase you wanted to keep things quiet :happy2: Will be amazing when it's done I'm sure
-
Bloody hell mate, this cars mental. The transformation this cars gone through is amazing. Keep us informed with the super secret updates. Great work and also great work to the people building this aswell I guess.
-
Thanks for the comments guys and heres a couple of pics as to give you a clue what may be happening! :wink: As you can see from the 2nd picture the exhaust turbine wheel has one again snapped clean off after a meer 500 miles since replacement! The 2nd time the turbo has gone in a total of 10k! sh*te TSI engine all i can say thats why they have stopped production of them im guessing to many floors when driven like they are meant to be driven. The reason behind it is a low profile sump, obviously not baffled as its to difficult to do on this sump due to the profile of it and its steel not aluminuim. This is what has caused oil surge on heavy track day cornering and the turbos spindle has just completeley seized up as a result and snapped on both occasions. The oil temps were also reaching between 135 and 142 Degrees C which means its totally broken down by then giving no decent lubrication to the turbo. Hope you like the updates that will follow.

^ But you've uprated your suspension, wheels and tyres, so isn't it just a case that the engine wasn't built for the increased cornering capability that your mods provide?
-
You could get a accusump system fitted which should sort out or even a dry sump system. :notworthy:
-
I looked into the accu and also read a lot of reviews, they say it can overload the engine with oil due to the way the system works and therefore meaning it is swamped in oil which is just as bad as being dry. This is due to the way the valve just squirts the oil in via the accumulator. Thanks for the advice though pal but I think I should hopefully be sorted with my new plans.
-
Thought it was your car I saw in dock the other day. All I can say is that you'll love the upgrade. Mine is in on Monday for a water/meth upgrade... Are you tempted for water meth on top of the other "upgrades"?
-
I'm hopin so hurdy and it's in with Steve purely from your recommendations when I spoke to you a bit back. I just haven't had the time to get round to it to be honest til now. It's having water meth aswell as everything else don't you worry :wink:
-
Have VWR had issues with theirs?
-
Not yet, but in all fairness to vwr and their rocco, it doesn't get driven half as hard as mine does. It is and has been for a while now just an out and out track car so gets driven to its limits every time it's taken out.
-
Do they not use them in the vw cup
-
the two vw scirocco cup cars built for 2009 season had same issue in early rounds so tsfi K04 power soon appeared, oil starvation was the issue then so not a new problem
keep the faith geordie :happy2:

Excellent. When should the work be completed? I'm off work all next week so should be able to keep an eye on it for you. :happy2:
-
sounds like your making a rocco r to me engine wise
-
Shaun
You ever considered flogging the rocco Xenons to fund some more mods, I think they'd fetch a good price on the rocco forums etc and whilst they're a nice option I think the cars moved on a bit.
Plus if you had a light shunt they'd be expensive to replace
-
I've not to be honest dave, purely for the fact they do make the front end look a lot better than standard. Aswell as I have a contact with replacements if ever I need them cheap! As for the engine mat I'm not giving anything away just yet :wink:. Let's just say it should hopefully have a weight of 1050kg so should be very interesting! All the power will be kept under control with all the previous mods carried out which has been great.
-
You think the car will be 1050 kg you sure?
-
Not to far away, this is with an empty tank. The seats are carbon fibre so lost a lot of weight there when stripping the interior, also the car starts of lighter than the golf to begin with.
-
You done plexi glass windows yet? if not you might aswell
-
Looked clean today dude :notworthy:

Cheers mike glad you liked it, I just can't wait to get it back and then get some decent weather for some track action!

Looks great, went well!
-
Spa looks awesome.
The car and driving looked really well hooked up too. Passing plenty of high end track toys, good stuff indeed.
Almost like watching Mika through Blanchimont a few years back...
-
Cheers Bernard, it was very good thanks pal loved spa! I am looking forward to the next mods being complete.

Hows the work on the car going Shaun?
-
Well as they and everyone else knew, they have a new ecu and wiring harness for it and are just experiencing a few more snags than expected getting everything working. All the relays are trying to do different things so they are just having do some pin swapping on the harness once they get the wiring diagram from the car it's come from and mine so they can get it sorted. He's just cracking on with that first before he starts fitting everything else up to it to get it running sweet first. Have you been up to much pal?
-
How come your installing a new ECU and wiring harness? New (different) engine going in?
-
Yes there's a full new engine going in pal just having a few issues that's all.

TT-RS engine???? :drool:
i thought that too but maybe its an ed30 engine
-
Looks like you'll have yourself a little monster there at 1050Kg!! Interested to see what the new engine is!
-
Well im hoping so, it will be nice light and nimble to saythe least as it was really good before. The only reason for the big transformation is due to the poor engine and having 2 turbos, so with around 90-100bhp more than it had i think it will be a weapon on track.
Corrected that for you :happy2:

Dave you are a bugger! I'm sure you always wait til I'm pretty sorted on all fronts then throw a swerve ball at me! It does look a good setup I take it the smaller rear trailing caliper is purely for the handbrake alone? Now pm me , what's the best price you could do that setup for to a good mate who's always lining your pockets!? :happy2:
-
Still in development buddy, but look out for some TT rear hubs, they need TT hubs to work but they'll also gve you another 20mm of track as well.
-
Went over to see Steve yesterday and have a chat see where we are up to. Engine is all in place with all ancillaries fitted up, some wiring done but there is a lot of differences so he is plodding on and will be doing a bit of pin swapping.
-
What engine bud? Spec? :)
-
I dont want to give it all away just yet until we get a little closer to having it up up and running ready to tweak.
-
love that car man!
-
No update just got to say I'm gutted everyone's cars are getting updates and I want mine to have an update! I know it is a bit more extreme than most so will take longer but I just want to get it back and see how good it really is! Rant over hope yours are going well, ie hurdy, janner, mike and stevep just to mention a few names!

Need a bit of help, has anyone got or can get access to the full car loom wiring diagrams I.e. from the ecu out to the engine and car loom and all pin numbers etc....? Please let me know if you can help.
-
Go to vw elsawin. It's all online, you just pay for how long you use it. The 5 euros for an our does allow you to print too.
I do have a full vw golf mk5 fsi and tsi manual which will have all the info, but it will be hard to send over to you
-
Alex thanks, that's the site Steve has tried. It doesn't show the pins and what they correspond to coming out of the ecu though so he has been on the phone to them and they don't know either. Do the wiring diagrams you have show what the pins leaving the ecu for the car and engine loom coincide with? Thanks.
-
Yeah it shows the ecu pin numbers, colours, blocks they go to etc.
Google Bentley publishers. You can download the manuals from their site. Let me know exactly what you are after and I can make sure its on there before you buy it.
-
:surprised: :scared:
-
Was down at Statllers again today. I think Craig has loom vision :grin:
-
Not much of an update, but have decided we need to go with a full new car loom to carry out the new engine mod. heres a few pics as it stands.

There's still time to change your mind I feel... :chicken:
-
Ha i bet he has John i know all hes been looking at for weeks is wires! Its the easiest option pal we agreed or they would be on forever trying to sort it out. And there is no mind changing happening its all or nothing and at the minute as you can see it is very much all!
-
What a pain. Sorry I couldn't of been more help with the wiring.
Not far off now then. :happy2:
-
Is my conclusion right?
You're fitting a Rocco R engine instead of the 2,0 TSI one right?? :smiley:

I can see it's a TFSI Steve, but when you need a new wiring loom the obvious choice must be a Scirocco R. Why not max. the 2,0 TSI out with a K04 solution, apparently the make some very healthy figures :confused:
-
Hi Danish, you obviously havent read my full build as the tsi was maxed out with the k03 and blew 2 turbos , for a lot of reasons stated in the build they will keep doing it, oil starvation being the biggest culprit, and the engine basically being sh*te for track work! While it may be ok on the road, it just doesn't cut it on track and IMHO isn't good at all for this kind of abuse! Yes it will pull good figures but won't last, hope this clears it up.
-
Hi Danish, yes it's a rocco r engine conversion obviously stronger internals etc... As for the tsi, you obviously havent read my full build as the tsi was maxed out with the k03 and blew 2 turbos , for a lot of reasons stated in the build they will keep doing it, oil starvation being the biggest culprit, and the engine basically being sh*te for track work! While it may be ok on the road, it just doesn't cut it on track and IMHO isn't good at all for this kind of abuse! Yes it will pull good figures but won't last pal hope this clears it up.
I hear you, i just keep hearing how good figures the TSI is making. But being a Big TFSI fan i understand your reasoning :drinking:
-
Yes I know the figures are good I've been there, but what is pushing good numbers without reliability! :wink:
-
I hope it gets sorted soon mate, I haven't had mine at home for a few weeks and I'm getting inchy so cant imagine what your wait is like :happy2:

I hear you, i just keep hearing how good figures the TSI is making. But being a Big TFSI fan i understand your reasoning :drinking:
To be honest, I am surprised to hear this about the TSI engine. My TFSI is clocking up the mileage and one thing I was considering was swapping for a TSI when it goes and doing the same job with the wiring looms...but in reverse of what is going on here.
Is the current thinking that sticking with a TFSI would be a better idea and keeping my K04?
Again I am surprised as all the talk when the TSI came out was how much more robust it was (but that may only be down to HPFP and chain driven cam) and Jim @ JKM was telling me recently how well he was getting on with his TSI Octavia with APR K04 and Revo map and he knows his way around a track or two. :confused:
-
^^^ There will be some updates on my build thread last today. Next outing for me is a week on Tuesday with a 2 day Nurburgring (Full VLN circuit) track day :party: :party:
-
Jammy bugger wish I was coming along! Are you driving over or have you gone down the trailer route for this one? When's your next localish one?
-
Trailering this time :happy2:
Nothing local booked yet, but was thinking of something like Bedford to get Kev and Pies over to work some more on the setup's :smiley:
-
Let me know when you fancy pal as I'm up for it really getting withdrawals now!
-
Will do :happy2:
-
Cheers Shaun - when it goes pop, I think I'll follow your advice. Reconfiguring the wiring looms looks like a nightmare anyway!

PS - I like to think I follow these forums quite closely but did I miss something.....
sh*te TSI engine all i can say thats why they have stopped production of them im guessing to many floors when driven like they are meant to be driven.
...has the production of the turbo'd 2.0 FSI engine really stopped?? :confused:
-
Pretty sure it hasn't gone out of production.
-
I am not 100percent, however I have seen an article regarding this happening and have also heard rumours on the grapevine about this happening. I may be wrong but just what I've seen or been told.
-
Maybe the specific tsi engine in mine, but they may have done some updating to a newer version.
-
Great to meet up today Shaun. The 'rocco is starting to come together and you'll soon be on those race tracks again :happy2:
-
Cheers John yeah good to meet you pal, can't wait to get it out on track now it's a runner! Bit more work and it will be there, really looking forward to it. Cheers again for the ride in the polo went well! :happy2:
-
Well sort of a bit of an update, I hopefully get the car back this week as looking to go to donning ton with Neilm. Just one issue if anyone has any idea about this, bit of a unique one tbh now it has a complete ed30 loom we are struggling to get the windows to auto drop on the rocco as the ed30 loom doesn't allow for this. Has anyone any ideas to try obviously I don't think anyone at all has come across this. Please let me know any ideas to try. They work for 3 attempts then shut down and have to reset with vag com for them to operate again. Cheers for any help.
-
Have they changed the central electrics/convenience module or door controllers?
-
They haven't pal as the golf doesn't have this function so left rocco modules in and tried splicing and coding it up. No luck though :sad1: on a better note glad it all went well for you pics look awesome I'm gutted as I would have been up for that! When's your next trip? Fancy donnington with me and Neil on 2nd?
-
Fixed poly windows windows will do the trick! :happy2:
-
I would but can't be arsed with the wind, road and rattling noises from them! And the main thing after not to long the bloody scratching of them.
-
Plastics for performance do scratch resistant ones :innocent: Cant see the Rocco listed on the site but I bet they do them
-
Well as a few of you know, i have had a lot of bad luck lately and have been so unhappy to say the least about the scenario. So after a lot of hunting and seeing what i wanted to go for ive come up with this. Watch this space for whats coming up some of you may be able to guess this already giving what the last car had done to it.

Good to see your back in the game :happy2:
-
No messing about there!
-
That didn't take long fella? The .:R looks stunning :drool:
Even more potential this time?! Hopefully something good has come of all your troubles :happy2:
-
I hope your not going to put a TSI engine in it. :wink:
-
Cheers guys, i wasnt convinced by the colour at first i wanted another white one. However one i seen it and it was all polished up, it looks great the pop in the paint is great under the right light. I am just still unhappy about the way it is sitting etc you could get another tyre between them arches but all will soon be sorted. I am off on hols tommorow so once im back the updates will be thick and fast with a bit of luck.
-
Any news on the other one? Or is it scrap now :sad1:
-
No news yet, pretty much think its going to be scrap but will have to see. The Legs were both wrapped around the engine, no damage whatsoever to the engine. But both the top mounts were in half and once the snapped subfarrme was taken off the engine still stayed there with no movement. There would be a full side and a roof needed, and a door on other side. Will know more when i get back next week.
-
Would be good to get what you can out of it if you can salvage things

& sell mike the Ko4 turbo :laugh:
-
Oh dont you worry mat everything is out of it , even the cage is coming out! The only things i will be needing is suspension, intercooler, induction kit, tt wishbones, polybushes and engine mounts along with a few more little bits.
-
Mike watch this space, i am not sure yet but may be selling quite a few items.
-
Nice one Shaun! :happy2:
Did you not fancy a Golf R?
-
Love the colour of the R. I know where there are some tt wishbones :wink:
-
I did toy with the idea to be fair pal and I even looked at the ttrs in all fairness. But when I had the rocco it was so hooked up when caged up and setup right I was just really happy with the full package and from coming from 3 4wd I just find them slightly predictable which yes can be good and safe but isnt much fun. Also for the price I paid It wasn't an option. :happy2:
-
Ah good man Alex pm me a price and keep them for me I will have them but I must get to bed now I'm up at 4 to get to airport! Cheers. :happy2: don't have a drivers side s3 hub aswell by any chance do you?

No S3 hubs, but I have a pair of TT hubs :happy2:
PM on its way.

I've got an s3 hub, drop them brakes in at mine, Ill give em the once over and rebuild the discs to latest spec for you...
Cheer ya up!
Besides you'll be 4wd'ing the .:R soon
-
mate.... this is the best sirocco i've seen! nice work :D

Well ive got some new pics up for the time being. The exhaust was a right state someone had rattle canned them black i think took a lot of elbow grease! Just until i get my new zorst anyways.

i'm quite sure this isn't fitted correctly, tomorrow i'll take a photo of mine
-
Hi Danish which part exactly pal? It's just that John at 42 draft sent me the picture below over of how it goes? And it looks the same as mine unless I'm missing something?

-
Looking forward to this. Any idea what route you may be taking with the exhaust?
-
What wheels are they you have the suit the R really well
I might look at a set for my Viper :happy2:
-
I may be selling the wheels if you're interested, someone else has asked about them aswell let me know of you'd be interested. They are. In top condition and unkurbed.

The part i have encirkeled in red need to be turned towards the rear of the car to lock it against one of the "fins" on the intake manifold. :happy2:
-
Love the colour, but the white one was pretty special looking. Oil cooler kit looks impressive? Do the tsi engine have a cartridge filter as standard? And this setup does away with it? If so would it fit the Tfsi?
You put cage in this one too?
Sie
-
Yes the white one was my special one don't rub it in! Once I'm finished with this I hope I can love it as much! The oil cooler kit is for the tfsi and comes complete with every fitting required and replaces the cartridge filter. It will also be having the cage mods carried out.
-
Here's a picture of my 42DD fitted and locked against the intake manifold

Cheers Danish see what you mean now.

I think the DD42 stuff is really high quality. Im fitting my DD42 shifter bushings this weekend. Id love to try the Catch can too
-
Cheers Danish see what you mean now.
:drinking:
-
Can I ask where you got the oil cooler kit from? Look forward to the progress.
Sie
-
As above and how much was it?
-
Alright, the oil cooler kit was from a company called Ina engineering in the states and if you tell issam abed that you spoke to Shaun moody from the uk about it. Cheers.
-
Well bit more of an update, nothing to exciting but i do really like it and it sounds good aswell. So much more free flowing and just sounds right, and a better throttle response.

Looks much better now, especially your 42DD plug :signLOL:
-
Coming along nicely Shaun :happy2:
-
What are you going to do different with this car, or are you planning to mimic the last setup?
-
Cheers John. Im not exactly sure what im planning on yet to be fair most things will be the same as previous. I stripped it down this morning all was going well then the snags started!! The Fittings they have supplied for the oil cooler kit, some of the thread sizes are wrong, then the oil breather pipe doesnt fit the fitting they have supplied either so not impressed. Mainly because now i will have to wait for them to be shipped over from the us now, unless anyone knows anywhere that would have these fittings i have enclosed pics. Also the clip at the top of the oil filter housing hasnt been supplied, i was wondering if i go into vw parts and show them it if they have one as its only a housing off of a mk4 thats been modified. Does anyone know anywhere that stocks oil cooler fittings local to manchester? The intercooler side of things is a breeze!

Ever heard of these people,
http://www.pirtek.co.uk/
don't know about opening times?
-
We use Pertek all the time at work, they will sort you out Shaun :happy2:

They prob still have a stupid call out charge!
I use Think Automotive for all of my Mocal fittings and lines etc. They are Mocal. No where near Manchester, but they offer a great delivery service if you don't get anywhere with Pirtek amd their crazy prices.
Your local tps should have the clip in stock. If you need a reg of a car that would have one fitted then use GK02 ZVW.
-
Cheers that's really helpful guys. :happy2: I will have to wait til Tuesday now though with the bank hol wkend. I don't even know the sizes Alex or I could order online, I will have to take it in and make sure the ones they give me fit. Same for the crankcase breather hose I could get a rough diameter. The problem is I'm in bloody London all week next week . If I was at home there's a pirtek at traff park I could try.
-
Found some of the clips you need in my stash of bits:

That's the ones alex :happy2: don't suppose you could post one could you just let me know the cost. If you can pm me and I will pm my address. Cheers. Don't have any 1/2" bsp to 10AN fittings do you ha! Can't believe they've sent me the wrong fittings, surely you'd try them to make sure they were correct wouldn't you! :confused:

Hi Shaun, coming along nicely, when are we going to see you back on track :smiley:
-
is an oil cooler a worthwhile upgrade on the TFSI? i smash my car around the track and it only gets to 105 max?
if it is worthwhile i might get myself one. nice car :drinking:
-
my misses wants a rocco, better not show her this lol
-
HI neal im looking and planning on getting on track beginning of next month. You up for some track action?
As regards oil cooler kit it is very worthwhile when you have a full track prepped car with slicks imo. it is different with a road car and a few mods I think as they are not getting anywhere near as much stick. I was seeing temps of 140.
-
i am running 400bhp, and done a whole day a brands hatch and the max was 107.
so not sure about getting one. i know the TSI engines get very hot
-
Last year i saw temps of 130 on my TFSI so i would recommend the oil cooler kit to our cars also :happy2:
-
Shaun,
You going to get KPM to make / source you a front splitter for your R bumper like the R Cup cars?? let me know if you do! :happy2:
-
awesome build :happy2: the DD42 catch can looks impressive! what's the advantage/benefit of it over the forge one?
-
Lee I'm not sure yet about splitter will let you know. :happy2: the benefits over this catch can is the pipes used are a larger bore meaning better flow and breathing along with a large competition can that can hold a larger volume and has its own dipstick sois easily checked.

Well, time for a bit more of an update. I have now fitted my oil cooler kit, TT hubs and wishbones, fully polybushed, my RS4 calipers and 362mm discs, and my VMR's.

How much wider has your front become by the tt hubs?
-
I haven't measured it to be fair but I would say around 30mm extra width. :happy2:
-
Sorry Neil forgot to say I'm hoping to be out as soon as possible, however it is looking likely to be first outing at inters on 23rd June as its off to Kev at KPM for some heavy mods. :happy2: will let you know soon as , as I'm missing it a lot.
-
I haven't measured it to be fair but I would say around 30mm extra width. :happy2:
even though you haven't taken any frontals you clearly see them wheels poking out :laugh:
How are you going to solve any clearance problems?? :drinking:
-
Correct Danish, the wheels are poking out. However once I have had my full 3way ast suspension fitted with top mounts to pull them back in the arches it will all be sorted! Don't forget I had s3 hubs on my last rocco and these are only 10mm less than the TT hubs, therefore with adjustable top mounts, this will be cured. :happy2:
-
Where are you getting the ASTs form Shaun? DO they come with their own top mounts? Im going for the ground control mounts in the very near future :party:
-
Hi mike, yes the kit comes with adjustable top mounts included. I'm getting them from KPM. You should get quite a bit of adjustment to cure your issues with clearance mike just depend how much you want to sacrifice even wear on the road with your tyres.

Ha that is true on the road, however mine is just a track toy now so will have even wear with all the cornering and camber! You want to change from 888 to AO48's mike next time around the tyre wear os a lot better and I find the tyre better all around inho. :happy2:

The car looks beautiful mate :)
-
:sad1:
That was his old car.
-
Hmm thx for the reminder :sad1:! Oh well have to move on in cases of such sadness so the car is now down at kpm having some serious mods carried out once again. Should have it back all sorted hopefully in 2 weeks ready for inters.
-
The good news is it will be a more complete car .....being an .:R from the start. :happy2:
-
Well, sort of an update however I have no pics as of yet! The ASTs are fitted which has brought the front wheels in very nicely, the inner arches have been removed so there's no rubbing issues, ARBs have been fitted, engine mounts fitted, cage is on order and in next week then straight to paint. So all being well I should be at inters, bit of a push but fingers crossed! It is all going to be a bit of a rush but kevs doing his best. :happy2:
-
I'm hoping the top mounts bring my wheels in too
Are there many downsides to not running arch liners?
-
There is only one downside to running without liners and that's just dirt, and possibly the odd chip. However if you keep on top of cleaning I can't see it being an issue. :happy2:
-
Don't forget the extra noise too Mike. Removing the liners will mean everything hits the steel section of the car. :happy2:
-
Yea it's noisy already with the 888s chucking every bit of loose road surface at the liners lol
-
As you know John, noise isn't an issue for me having a fully stripped car anyways! :wink: and I have plenty of rubber flying off especially when going from one track day to another with cold tyres and lots of pick up on them to start with!
-
Well for those of you who didnt see it at inters,the car is now completed and just needs a few tweaks here and there to get it up to where i want it. Will get to find out what its like at combe on the 14th.

Gorgeous. Bet you well happy! One of my favourites on forums.
Sie

Had a good look at Inters and it looked ace!! :congrats: :notworthy:
-
All I can say is WOW! :notworthy:
Are they the 8 pots?...if so what is .pedal feel like?
-
I had a little gander at Inters. And gotta say it didn't look that good.
Because it looked way, way better than good, off the frikkin' awesome scale, so I'm very envious.
Enjoy it after the long journey you've had the last few weeks.
-
What te the offsets of the VMR's and what tyre size you running on it?
-
Cheers for all the comments guys much appreciated and I am glad to be a bit more in.front with it now than my previous one. :happy2: the brakes are 8pots and the pedal feel is amazing as I have uprated the master cylinder. I plan on enjoying it at combe in a couple of weeks, going with kpm to set it all up. The vmrs are a 35 offset 8.5 widtj with 235x19s.
-
Didn't you fancy some GT100 tips for the exhaust Shaun??
Look forward to seeing how it goes at Combe :happy2:
-
Thats just what milltek wanted for there stand pal so they put them on and I wasnt going to say no lets just put it that way! So are you at combe I take it lee?
-
Ah I see!
Yup hopefully we shud be there to catch some action
-
What a beast of a car, good job
-
Awesome car! In my opinion the blue Scirocco R is the best looking FWD car. And the mods are awesome also! :congrats:
Great job! :notworthy:
-
Well, now i have my new rocco all sorted i am a bit happier with my situation. Obviously apart from costs so i will share a couple of pics with you just to let you know how bad the car was and how gutted i was!

If you look closely on this one, the steering rack has sheared completely off the crash bar when my head hit the steering wheel with such force and broke my cheek!

Can I ask what happened, if you don't mind me asking of course..
I didn't know this is what happened to 'White' I'd just thought you got fed up trying the engine swap/wiring harness hassles. Clearly I was wrong.
'Blue' looks mega and is a fine replacement.
-
Sorry if i missed it but At the beginning of the pictures looked like a fire?? Then i saw the side all crashed...was it on a track?
By the looks of it it did a very good job of keeping you safe :happy2:
-
Is the chassis bent? Looks like a new roof skin and a few other panels could be put back on track with a bit of hard ish work
Edit that just noticed your last post good on you for getting it back together
-
It was on a test drive after all the engine conversion was carried out and lost control, went over a central reservation, hit a wall and landed on my roof. Dont remember a lot to be honest as i blacked out. if the cage wasnt fitted i dont think id be telling the story today so i am very grateful for that! Just got to move on and put it in the past now, think i may be slightly more cautious when on track on the 13th after all this especially as its my 1st outing since al this happened. I think a lot of it was due to the fact i had racing semi slicks on and they were full of pick up from last track day and stone cold, therefore no grip on the back end and the car just stepped out on me. Its a hard lesson learnt and will try to get back into the swing of things.

most important thing! You have certainly bounced back in style anyway :grin:
-
The chassis wasnt bent at all mat, just needed a new drivers side leg and this was all due to the fact it had a cage fitted or there would have been nothing left to repair in all honesty.Nothing chassis wise moved due to the strength the cage had given it.
-
The chassis wasn't bent at all mate. The ram on my jig tells a different story...........
-
It's the ram that was bloody bent! Well when it was finished anyways.
-
i would have thought the cage would have helped keep the car and chassis stiff at least kev and simon will get it sorted
-
Kev will sort it as its now The new kpm winning car. It's not a proper race car if it's not had damage isn't that right kev!
-
Probably a good advert for us all to have full cages and 'full on' seats and harnesses, but guess real world is not like that.
-
That's a good comment bernhard, get it done and if you can find another 2 people me and kev have a deal! :happy2:
-
how is everyone now then all ok
-
So have u sold the white one now to KPM for them to race in VW cup...or they prepping it for ur future entry into the championship ?
-
Yes pal all are well, obviously Steve is well as he was blasting up the strip at inters! So all is well. :happy2:
-
thats great news :smiley:
-
Don't say that lee as that is a temptation I'd like to itch but at the moment I'm still unsure and it can be costly which after all this going on has dipped right into my savings!
-
Not yet it hasn't.........
-

couple of questions Shaun, not before congratulating you again on an epic build.. :notworthy:
Where did you get the Buckets? Anywhere you'd recommend (cheapest!) as I only ever end up looking in tweaks. Did you save a noticeable amount of weight?
What is the thought / benefit of doing the charcoal canister delete? Does it cause issues?
APR (for the time being)... What's up your sleeve? :wink:
-
Thanks mike comments much appreciated its been a long long journey!
The Buckets were unfortunately from Tweaks as i couldnt get them anywhere with them being carbon they were special order mate. As for the weight savings, it was immense to be fair the standard ones being electirc with the heating and subframes weigh around the 45kg figure per seat which to put in perspective one seat is the weight of my full cage! And the New ones i think off the top of my head weigh 6kg and you can pick them up with a couple of fingers.
The charcoal canister delete causes no issues at all and was merely for fitting my catch can in its place.
As for the APR comment i am intending on staying with them just watch this space. :wink:
-
I hear the white demo rocco is going to be getting a 500bhp GT30 conversion soon. You going down that kinda road?
Or you gonna be the APR Loba L04XX guinea pig?? :wink:
-
The car is looking great Shaun. Great build in quick time too. :happy2:
-
Thanks a lot John appreciate the comments. :happy2: Lee, the white rocco is gonna be a car for the cup not a 500 bhp monster, like your style though! :wink: I'm not sure exactly where I'm going with this yet, will just have to see.
-
For some reason ive missed this thread :stupid:
WOW awesome build and i love the interior finish :notworthy:
-
Well the Car is almost complete and gotta say i am well impressed with how it looks compared to a few month back! Top job at KPM.

oh my god :love:
-
I can't believe the turn around on the old car, If I hadn't seen the aftermath pics before it was rebuilt I wouldn't have believed it was that bad, top work by KPM and anyone else involved in putting her back to her former glory :happy2:
And your blue one is :drool:
-
Cheers nodz and if you could have actually seen it in the flesh you wouldn't think it was coming back at all, let alone winning its first race out! As you say it is a top turnaround by KPM and looks really good aswell! Mine is down there just having a few tweaks done to it. :wink:
-
Just thought id put a couple of pics up here of me drriving my old car around silverstone GP circuit in the new garages with KPM. Theres more up in photography section.

Thumbs up = Yes to me :signLOL: :signLOL:

Did you have a go in it as well Steve??

Nope mine was a flying visit to the circuit on my lunch break as I was working from home that day :happy2:

Onslow-cole? Doesn't Tom race for AMD Miltek? Have I missed something here? :laugh:

blimey where have u been!
Tom raced the car 3 weeks ago as one off entry for KPM/Milltek Sport practising for BTCC that followed weekend after. Ollie Jackson drives the AMD Golf now.
-
this has made me go looking for a rocco now!
-
I think the thumbs up was to a different question steve! As you know. Ha. :P
-
Stunning car you´ve built :notworthy: I have a couple of questions for you if it's okay;)
Where did you route the line to the charcoal canister?
And do you have a guess on how long the A048's would last on a daily driver? I've got the AD08's, and i would like some more grip, so i'm either getting the A048 or the R888..
-
Hi, and thanks for the comments. The canister has just been disconnected and blanked off as not needed. As regards the AO48's if you plan on using them on the road as a daily driver then your insurance will be void, if you look at the insurance board there is a section on this. Performance wise though they are excellent, on par if not better than R888's and the wear rate is also better aswell. I wouldn't recommend them in the wet however. Hope this helps. :happy2:
-
Well its been a while but had a lot on and a few bits to get tweaked with the car such as issues with deleting the XDS etc... along with other minor things. Fitted the meth kit with a custom tank courtesy of KPM lot more secure than a plastic tank with a horrible plastic bung slammed in the bottom, Especially for what im using the car for. Also had an APR pump fitted rather than internals that i had, new exhaust tips and a tweaked map thanks to Keith.

Awesome Shaun!! :congrats:
-
Good to see it running 100% at the weekend mate :happy2:
-
Cheers mike and looking forward to donnington now steve. Hope the R is ready to go there aswell. Can you email me the info over for it please pal? Cheers. :smiley:
-
is that a mount for say a go pro on one of the pics on the previous page on the cage??
if so do you have any info for this??
car looks brilliant
-
Looking rather tasty that R now Shaun. :happy2:
-
Alot better with the new tailpipes, i think :happy2:
-
Thanks John, got to where I wanted to be in the end after having a few issues here and there. All working spot on now though. :happy2: As for the mount it is for go pro and is available from demon tweeks. It is perfect and doesn't move once strapped in place.
-
Hi, Shaun is the traction control issue sorted now, have you managed to fully disable it?.
-
Hi TC , yes pal all is well on the traction issue now. Fully disabled and running a lot better, feels like its pulling a hell of a lot better aswell and that was in the wet can't wait to see what it's like in the dry! At donnington on Tuesday the looking at oulton park for beginning of Nov hopefully. How's your new motor? :happy2:
-
The new Exige is fantastic, even makes me look fast. What is going on at Donny, is it just a normal track day.
-
Well its update time, sort of anyways! After the last trackday at donnington with NeilM and Cupra, I found myself having to upgrade a step or 2 on the brake front as my pads and discs have now had it! So out with the old and in with the new. Dave as usual helped me in a big way doing me an excellent discount on some otherwise really expensive Project Mu endurance pads. I will get them fitted in time for my next trackday and let you know my thoughts on these, but I have however heard nothing but good things. :happy2: Enjoy.

I know you said you'd given them some stick Shaun :signLOL:
Wonder how good the new pads will be :popcornsoda:
-
Looks awsome :happy2:
-
Going to be seeing a lot more of Project Mu - in fairness theyve been a little awkward to deal with with the time zone and language barrier being the main issues.
Anyway we've just had some good news in the fact that an Australian company have pretty much got a global distribution deal so things are making sense and we're avoiding double import/export duty.... so we've got some great plans to get the H16 and H19 compounds into stock which would make great fast road pads.
Going to be ringing you next time out for an update!!!
How many laps did you have on that previous setup Shaun? I think you got your moneys worth out of those blues!!!!!
-
I think I defo got my money's worth out of them pads aswell pal! Roughy speaking I'm thinking it's around 800 laps which giving the abuse I don't think is bad going at all! :happy2:

That's fantastic, when I first saw the pics I thought b@ll@x, I've just fitted the same pads and discs, but if they have done that kind of service that's brilliant

stunning rocco
