Scirocco r mods

[eccentric]

If I ever get a cat-back it will be this one. Don't really like the quad tips though

Looks great. Any chance you could get a measurement of how high your lip is now of the ground?

I to am considering the dump pipe and Giac stage 1 so It would be great to catch up to see how it sounds one day.

I'll have to find the time to get the exact measurements, I'm more than happy to catch up.. maybe next meetup?

The Giac stage 1 is exactly how I expected it to turn out, more power throughout the rev range (esp the mid range), linear delivery & does not run out of puff up top compared to standard. Did not disappoint.

Heya
love the lowered look..it is the perfect height.
Dont want to play offsuit but that offset, particularly on the rear doesnt look right.
....what is it 39 + or something like that.
The 3rd pic really shows the tyre outside of the guard line.
Please what is that offset.

Sorry if i am wrong and its an opti-illusion.

My rims are only 19x8.5+35, very much within the guards. Heaps of users here running much more aggressive set ups compared to me.

Lol indeed.

I also notice it's already in your sig.. the nerve!

Well I can hardly go around with an inaccurate signature. I'm not a liar!

I started my engine mods this week...

VWR Intake

Engine Mods begin....

VWR intake

Nicely made and everything fits well.



The car immediately feels more responsive and the intake is nice and quiet.

Neuspeed Hi Flo K04 Discharge Conversion

Its an easy bolt on job and helps in reducing turbo lag.

I don't think anyone else should get the Akra. It's not that good actually. You won't like it trust me.

Naw, they go about $2600-$3000 for the part. That's just the slip on exhaust. It's not a full TBE. Then install on top.

hey whats wrong with the akras? planning to get one!

Engine bay looking super tidy, Rev 555! Very nice!

Lol there's nothing wrong with the akras, it's a great exhaust. ConR was just being sarcastic.

it was 6:30 in the morning when I looked at it... give me a break

[ConR]

No no. I still stand by my comment. No one else should get an Akra.

Let me test it out first. You know quality control. I wouldn't want anyone wasting their money on it. I'll get back to you on how it runs in, let's say, a couple years?

A couple of iPhone shots of AFTER the Eibach springs are fitted from when I got my car home yesterday afternoon.
I will try to get some better ones with a proper camera over the weekend... The end result is 15mm drop in the front and 10mm at the rear.
Depending on the angle it can look more... or look standard and it has more to do with the offset on the wheels than with actual height.
Aftermarket wheels with a smaller offset has the tyre filling the guard more and as such it all looks lower.




I have to say that the major difference is in the ride quality and handling....
On the OEM springs I was running most of the time on comfort as Sport was too harsh on bumps etc... and Normal was not subtle enough....
Now in Sport there is much more initial compliance when there is a bump or dip in the road... the Eibachs seem to be allowing the shocks to do their job better... and very little body roll... so far I am more than happy.
