Hi
Just bought a Scirocco R this week (Black, 6sp Manual). I have an R36 wagon (Black) as well. My wife drives an EOS.
Been playing with air cooled for years. Won VW Nat's in 09 with a 67 Custom beetle (1996 EFI Type1 motor)..
I have a Type 2 Transporter Single Cab (75) and a 71 Dual Door Van (71) as well. Both in resto mode atm..
My business has a fleet of Caddy's, T5's and Golfs (all black)..

I've joined this forum as the Scirocco buy was spur of the moment. But now I've got it, I am keen to amp up the HP a little and maybe the handling/suspension.

Any rate, looks like I'm in the right place..

Cheers
Rob

Welcome aboard Rob.
We were eyeing off a couple of brand new Roccos at the workshop lastnight. I really need to look at getting myself one soon!

Thanks.. Any tips or pointers for performance upgrades would be helpful..

Id start with an ECU tune. Best bang for buck mod you can do!

Go and see Arthur at Exoticars in Parramatta. GIAC have tunes ready to go for the Scirocco R. RRP is $1095

Sorry.. Yeah, I've got that booked in this Wednesday at VW Village.. 245kw is a good start

Ahh cool. Maybe price up a downpipe too. Thats probably the next best performance mod after a tune if youre looking to add power.

[SteNZnet]

Thats got my interest.. Can you lead me to somewhere I can read up on it?

Welcome SteNZnet! Sounds like you're a VW guy through and through!

Have a read through the Tuning and Performance (inc ECU upgrades) section; plenty of info on tunes, downpipes, and all the other mods that go towards stage 1, 2 and 3 performance upgrades. Your car runs the same engine as the Golf R, and many of the upgrades for that car should also be applicable to the Scirocco.

Congrats on getting the 'Roc!
