As some of you may know, we have embarked on a new race car build (track only) based on a new 2012 Scirocco R DSG.
The donor car was water damaged & marked as a "Statutory Write-off" so can't be registered. It had also been raoded of some parts used to fix another Scirocco.
We also have another 2012 DSG Scirocco for spare drive line, engine & transmission.
I recently spent a good few weeks in Germany & the UK swatting up on what & how we will build the car, I had some close up & personal time with one of the genuine GT24 wide bodied Scirocco's. A lot of time at Volkswagen Racing's headquarters and going through the cars they use in the Volkswagen Racing cup (which feature a lot of Scirocco's now), on cage setups, suspension, aerodynamics, ABS / Pedal boxes & brakes.
Anyway, as the build progresses, we will try to keep this thread up to date.
Asking any Scirocco owners to keep their eyes out for any damaged R's they may see around the place - at the dealer, workshops, wrecking yard or panel shops. We need some front end parts (even if damaged), including a bumper bar cover and a dash cover (even if air bags gone off). Will happily pay a spotters fee if someone comes up with the right stuff
Here are a couple of pics: (once I work out why the links dont work.....)

Any crazy plans to convert to AWD like some overseas tuning companies are offering or are you happy with FWD with its light weight benefits?
Without a DSG of course
