Remember that mk1 Scirocco? That build continues

So glad you are still updating this thread!

K20 swap it hahaha.

Is that stuttgart emblem from the factory or one of those emblems from ebay?
Nice wheels btw.

the only way i could get rid of this is if I ended up getting another bmw 2002 or a 2800cs or a bavaria. thats it. but that is an aftermarket emblem. I really love the 8V. Its a killer engine and sounds great too

Also, I have been throwing some ideas around that I want to start doing motor work. Does anyone have any comments or and helpful info on VW 8V motors? I am looking at getting head work and either turboing it or slapping a supercharger in there somewhere.

I know a thing or two about VW's old 8V engines. PM me, we can talk about what you want to do.

Its been a little bit but im back. Im in the process of getting a new cam and exhaust work. I cant wait to get that lopey cam sound and a little bit more power from the rocco. Any Suggestions on cams?

[rice4life]

If you get a huge ass cam make sure that you have stiffer valve springs and don't have to notch the pistons.

What about intake wise? Are you going to upgrade the jets or get a new carb?

I almost hope this thing doesn't look all boso, but stays clean hahaha.

[joshuawheat]

It isnt carb. Its mechanical fuel injection and its already running super rich. so a bigger cam wouldn't hurt it. but i won't be running a super big cam, just a medium size cam. something that will lope a little.

been a little bit but im back. car decided to have a super awesome power drain problem... Like drain the whole car in 5-10 min while on. so i jumped to work. Replaced alternator and voltage regulator and lo and behold.... still happening so i got back to it. got up under my dash after tracing my alternator wires and found some coke looking liquid coming from the ignition. is this normal??? HELL NOOOO so i replaced the ignition and got a new switch. shes better now

[244Brick]

Gosh, all kinda problems man.. Is that why u didn't come to the meet?

[joshuawheat]

yeah.. literally the night before the meet this happened on my way home from work. I was supposed to be doing a photo shoot out that way too.... ugh. but on a brighter note, Its running great lol
