Look its a start :innocent: both pretty rare at the moment. :party: I also reckon you must be the only person with one each of them on your drive. :drinking:
-
like the colour of the rocco not seen one on the road yet
-
Lovely mate, any plans for the rocco :drool:
-
undecided at moment given the economic climate, plan was to sell it when i can order a r20t, have spoken to APS about some KW springs which they have put on a car i have seen which reduce that gap in the arches
-
so how come you managed to own both? lol
looking great btw!
-
Yay :jumpmove: :jumpmove:
Lookin good there wigit :drinking:
-
lovin the rocco :driver:
-
should i have waited and got a rocco? that is going round my head now! i love that blue colour!
-
nice cars 8)
-
still to see a pirelli on the road its certainly a rare beast
-
Very nice and very lucky to have two decent cars to choose from :happy2:
-
Very true neg, would be an impossible one to descide which to drive every morning, lol
How much do the KW springs lower the rocco by, i would love to see it lowered, do it :drool:
-
£300 inc VAT fitted from APS, they have done a couple which does not affect the ACC, its not quite as agressive as the H&R drop either
i think its horses for courses between the two, the extra power on the GTI comes into play on the motorway and you can make rapid progress without too much attention, the scirocco comes into its own on A & B roads but does get you noticed, fortuantely i now have managed to get the DRLs turned off so less obvious
-
Two lovely cars there matey :happy2:
-
Saw these pics over on oxford forum - looking forward to seeing them at a oxford meet in the new year :happy2:
-
Love the rocco 8)
-
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
-
I say again Wigit, VERY nice :drool:
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
-
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
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fwigit71%2Ftfotfn%2FSuperchipscopy2.jpg&hash=341e57c4c6622f9f180923ea71050ce0b7ce1296)
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 :happy2:
-
Nice numbers there bud! :happy2:
The Rocco does look so much better for the drop (all be it a bit dirty!) :wink:
-
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?
-
I reall wish i didn't like the Rocco so much. :innocent:
Wigit no more photo's :laugh: :sad:
-
greenouse those pics flatter it currents state, tlc session planned tomorrow
tony_danza its the new tsi engine
-
TC you better steer clear from the Cat & Fiddle this Sunday around midday as we are having a mini meet with about ten cars and a modified candy white on rs4 rims, i'll post plenty of pics for you monday

Haha i am taking the mrs out for some lunch on Sunday, I might have to change location. :mad: :laugh:
Looking forward to the pics, i think. :rolleye:
-
better replenish your screen wipes supply TC just in case
-
i cant see that it looks lower personally, they both look the same height! :confused:. ............ god this beer's nice :wink:
-
Very nice, it does look like VW have managed to kill of the sales of 3 door GTis though :confused:
-
bit of an update on the car front as done nothing since February
been spending more time in the Pirelli and absolutely loving it, nothing done mod wise except a small addition to interior, some minor performance mods are planned :drool:

Pirelli logo added inside (so jealouse of you Ed30 guys), donated to me from Crazy Quiffs as they are for the centre caps for the original Pirelli P slots on the mk1 so a nice link back :happy2:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fwigit71%2Fstonor_park%2FDSC01014.jpg&hash=b82640dd55c52ba49267a2dec2d7ca65622f9e43)
scirocco has been a bit out of sorts (mainly as having so much fun in the GTI) and was looking at selling it, however, have changed my mind and been doing a few pits and pieces
had been planning some vinyl for ages and based on SteveP and Greenouse's recommendations booked the car in with Alex at Chameleon in Daventry, initial plan was to have a few bits done in gloss vinyl (so i can easily turn the car back to stock), however, i didn't like it and thought the CF vinyl suited the roc, however, this meant more vinyl to get rid of the gloss detailing on the car, however, meant the car has a more unique look than cars i've had pass through the rocco forums
bits done were
1) rear diffuser section of rear bumper
2) side sections to rear hatch
3) front grill
4) lower lip to bumper
5) front and rear badges
decided to leave the wing mirrors as a bit obvious on the roccos, really pleased with the results and look of the car as its a bit more muted, some pics as had great weather and gave it a quick clean, also show off new Scirocco Central logo which Roo Signs designed for us

also popped into to Volkwagen Racing for a VWR panel filter and VWR short shift (nice to be the first customer for some road roc bits and the new website worked), we'll see how the filter performs on RR day (car seems more eager) and have to say short shift is a great addition to the car (i'd say an essential mod on the manual rocco), i can't speak highly enough of the service i got from Mark Farmer from VWR and the team and his help on other plans

next priority is the zorst where a couple of avenues are being expored as want something a little different in terms of look :wink: have a coupl of ideas alloy wise i'm contemplating one involving a colour change with the standard 18's and some spaces to widen the stance, want to keep the car looking low key
thanks for reading :drinking:
-
Very nice, I'd love to see more pics of the Golf too please!...
-
still to see a pirelli on the road its certainly a rare beast
some fu*ker in a pirelli edition pulled out on me, stopped and then continued to pull out on me!
but yeah nice cars and id love to own both :D
-
the rocco looked great when i passed you the other day mate :drool:
-
Looks frikin ace Andy! :happy2:
Lookin forward to seeing her in the flesh tomorrow! :jumpmove:
-
Wigit, the Pirelli looks great in the piccies, surprisingly similar to mine :smiley:
I still have not seen another on the road and probably never will.
You will love the remap, it just makes the thing fly. The pull in 4th, 5th and 6th gears is amazing. The map on mine must limit the power/torgue in 1st and 2nd and a bit in 3rd as you do not notice it as much. Good thing as it puts less strain on the drivetrain
-
Both very nice Andy. 8) Not normally a big fan of carbon, but the Roc suits it well, although I'm abit undecided about the badges.
-
TT a few on here know i was not going CF and then put it against the car, bagdes were a nightmare for Alex compared to GTI, put them on to show the look, having my spares painted up black to compare
-
I like it mate, the black badges suit the car very well and the rest is very subtle...spot on :happy2:
-
Loving that Andy!!!!. Looking foward to seeing both tommorow mate :happy2:
-
Both look fantastic :drool:

i've been in discussions with Revo since october regarding their scirocco map, having decided the Pirelli will go Revo and been privy to more detailed information on the 1.4 map they did for a fellow rocco owner i've been itching
Revo wanted a scirocco for GTI International and a manual car to do some dyno testing which linked in well with me asking who they used given i wanted some idependant figures on mine with Bluefin
yesterday was not the best day for doing dyno runs with intake temps over 50 degrees when we ran Bluefin and stock and around 65 when we ran the Revo, temps were due to the weather with 15 minute cool downs, runs were on Maha rollers
we could not get better than 243bhp out of Bluefin with intake temp of 53 degrees (at rr day 268bhp at 39 degrees), the Revo runs had intake temps of 60 at the end of the day and graphs are below
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fwigit71%2Ftfotfn%2F20TBHP.jpg&hash=d4d3c6aec27c44c963a4a1b8aac1e1b1b4400cae)

having seen the figures, was a no brainer, having driven it back 30 miles to revo hq again no brainer, interestingly we noticed the flash counter was showing 6 on my car (which is spot on) and was the final nail in the coffin
at Revo hq have added a few additions as its on the Revo Stand at GTI International this weekend for the launch

many thanks for Carl and Kev for organising everything, Nick who developed the map and gave an insight into the the development and capability of the roc's engine whilst we were at the dyno (mk6 GTI is looking good), masterclass in customer service guys, which i'd got it right first time :happy2:
-
very nice :happy2: the new engines from VW certainly do the business..
In terms of your flash count , did you mean the SC incremented the flash counter (as its not supposed to?), just wasnt clear from your writeup :ashamed:
-
in reality don't no if bluefin was meant to reflash the ecu count (i'm checking but propably not), issue is flick car back to standard is great but ecu flash was showing six so not product for me

blue s3 sportback with dsg was on the rollers after mine...

well finally got round to getting the Pirelli Revo'd, only Stage 1 but its a start
whsilt Revo had read code off a Pirelli to check same as Ed30 it was the first to recieve code, a few people may be aware that later K04 cars (S3s and Cupras) have had the odd report of a misfire with code which disappears after 1st service, ours was consitent at 6,500 so Revo borrowed the car for a few days and have tweaked the map and will again after the cars first service, can't fault the service as Revo were upfront regarding the issue after there testing and keen to rework things
got to be said i'm absolutely loving the GTI even more now, especially given its understated, i did some performance benchamrking and pleased with the results, indeed at lower speeds its a lot smoother in day to day use, SWMBO is loving it :driver:
focus RS was a good test comparison as they are like chalk and cheese and got me thinking what a great package the ED30/Pirelli and is a true all rounder, the Pirelli has reconfirmed its place as the favourite of the two :happy2:
-
Love the perilli... im really not keen on the wheels if im honest... they're good.. but not ultra special. I think the pirelli should have some uber looking wheels..
Wasn't too keen on the Pirelli Wheels to start with, but now I love them lol - what on earth was i saying here :surprised:
They grow on you every day... :drool:
2 great motors!!!! :driver:
-
not done an update on the wigit fleet in ages even though their has been some work in progress:
really pleased with the Revo Stage 1 perfomance with stock filter on RR day :happy2:

following a last minute decsion to take the Pirelli to the Scirocco Central meet at Gaydon for a Fiscon handsfree kit, my brief appearances resulted in the Pirelli winning best of the rest and some medai whoring in this weeks Autocar :innocent:

have toyed with selling the rocco for a second Pirelli i resisted and so plan was hatched for Revo Stage 2, a few have seen and heard the work in pregress.
car was packed off to Volkswagen Racing for a week for a non res TBE and fast road engine mount (pic care of RR), my ceramic finsihed one should be on the car in a week or so :party:

its the first road rocco to have the mount in and i have to admit since both have been done i've been loving the car :love:

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
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fwigit71%2Ftfotfn%2FDSC02414.jpg&hash=7eb07c866543c083e894926e5454b12e5ad29ae4)
next was the ceramic tips to the milltek/vwr tbe (appears i'm the only rocco owner to have gone down this route)
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fwigit71%2Ftfotfn%2FDSC02419.jpg&hash=75754be8d7da6b5de0385df508d3eee7cf90fe3f)
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
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fwigit71%2Ftfotfn%2FDSC02382.jpg&hash=39ca06d719b00b7478fb5cc9f0866af77ebc2d47)
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
-
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

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.

porsche calipers are under half the weight of the stock items and were to run on Mintex 1144s, the rear GTI set up has larger disks than rocco 286 instead of 256 with stock oem going on rear
these spent a month in the garage waiting to go on, given rising fuel prices it was not making sense to run the rocco for 20k a year (Pirelli has been having a rest whilst swmbo is lady of leisure), didn't want to sell it and go berg derv, so decided to acquire another motor for the fleet to mean the rocco could become a weekender, originally went out for a polo bluemotion but were fetching silly money
instead ordered a Fiat 500 Twin Air Lounge in white with some toys given the deal from fiat meant fule savings paid for the car, currently awaiting delivery of 'Pootle' (in honour of the flumps) and will be sporting P500TLE when it arrives late june

given roccy semi retirement decision was made to do a few track days, never fancied the thought of a towing eye sticking out the front of the rocco so thought i would go TRS strap instead, got to thank MATED30 for all his help which from his mk5 set up which proved no relevance to the rocco which was ompeltely different with limited space
given i was doing consultancy work for the University of Oxford Department of Engineering Science at the time a few favours were called in to get this to work
oem tow hook was cut down and re profiled to a wheel brace bolt size so bolt could be mounted to car, TRS strap hole was enlarged slightly

so bringing things up to day
was debating which coilover route to go down given i wanted to do the odd track day and wanted the car a bit lower, the question was which KW variant, V1 was more road biased, V2 seemed ideal, V3 if properly set up
having been chatting with VWR they said they were doing their own V1 kit with a stiffer set up than the stock V1s more akin to how they set up their V3s, decision made to go down this route and add some ARBs later
wanted to do things properly so a ACC cancellation kit was needed so I could cancel out the damping but alter the steering weight (in reality car has rarely been out of sport)

VWR have raised their game on late on workmanship, only hiccup was wrong spring rating from KW for the rocco, revised springs fitted last week, with the words 'drop it another 10mm'
so decided to celebrate breaking the 50,000 mile barrier by taking it to Beford Autodrome on Friday, car has been cranked up 10mm front and rear as just too low (there was still 5mm to go on these pics), ride has improved on normal roads and can get over the speed hump by my house :evilgrin:

new suspension really made a difference to how the car handles and whislt its a little firmer the damping has meant its no longer crashy like the stock set up :happy2:

Ed35 is coming on stock 18s in dark steel finish as not a fan of the 19s, in reality a set of tds will be getting slapped on :happy2:
-
The one I saw at the DTM @ Brands had the 19's on and they looked stoopid with the piddly brakes. Nice car though, I really liked the candy apple red :drool:
-
Looking forward to the new arrival Andy :happy2:
-
Oh nice choice Andy
-
Well bearing in mind you were getting itchy feet with the Rocco after a few months she has lasted well!
Can't wait to see the new one fella, very jealous! :happy2:
-
So! Wifey is getting a new 35, does this mean your finally get a go of the Pirelli. :evilgrin: :wink:
Only kidden Andy, look forward to the updates. :party:
-
it's replacement is a 3 door carbon grey Edition 35 :happy2:
I know someone that's just ordered a 5-door in Carbon Grey with the thinking mans gearbox. :laugh:
Yes discounts are available. :smiley:

i thought after 2 years and 11 months this thread was due an update
my wife sold the Pirelli exactly 6 years to the day she picked it up
what an amazing car and will be missed just for what it was, used as a daily it racked up 85,000 miles, hardly any warranty work and only an upgraded clutch and replacement low pressure fuel pump and so much more of a car than the scirocco
it still felt special and remained fun to drive and i have had a huge grin trying and failing to keep up with the R whilst driving this
it won't be appearing on forums and i do have the first refusal on this to buy it back as we just didn't have the space to keep it, it is being replaced by a second R, this time night blue more door on 18s with dsg and a few bits
i will leave you with the parting shots after Detail My Ride gave it a makeover

Lovely car. :smiley:
Saw one a while ago in a hospital car park, same colour as yours. It was evidently well used and non-enthusiast owned. Alloys massively curbed and paint shockingly scratched. Still caught my eye though!
-
Looks like it's done at least half the miles you mention!
Lovely car - I tried one absolutely identical to yours before my ED30. Liked the Pirelli a lot more in person than in pictures, and the rarity factor is pretty cool. Think I have only ever seen one Pirelli on the road.
Just another Golf to everyone else, eh...?!
Do you reckon Pirelli's will keep their value more than any other mk5?
