Woppum Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thnaks to Matt R i am the proud owner of a new black roccy. It was waiting for me by the time i got to the office this morning and never got to drive it until i left a couple of hours ago. sitting in wait was close to hell but now ive done 30 miles i know what its like, and its rapid! Not a million miles of an e46 m3 i would have thought? Great little car that although sounds more like a hoover than a mk4 r32 would show it an easy set of heels. Probbaly wait a couple of weeks and then get the BDM 330 conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 That's rather nice. I like the Scirocco, quite a classy looking thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Stealthy. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Looks great, wasn't sure about them at first but its a grower of a car, nice and interesting and looks way way better than the Golf that just looks boring to my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I would bud but bdm are looking after the rs as well now so if I did zoom her up it would make sense to do it all in one place. They are closer too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Like that Wopps Needs dropping by about 20mm and you're there. But surely you could cram a few more buttons on that steering wheel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 The more Sciroccos I see the more I like them. Especially in white, but that's decidedly less stealthy than black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 What engine is in this one then? Are they the same as used in the Golf? Forgive my ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 2 litre turbo - 265ps same as the golf r I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 yep 265 at the moment. really is rather quick. never had a turbo car before, it really suits what i want it for, very chuffed. leaves the rs to have a mad track geo and my third set of tyres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 What's the lb ft on them and at what point? How much do they weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 now your asking, i dont even know the answer to that on my rs...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Shame on you. Even I know that in your RS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 it wasnt those stats that impressed me. still im so fast i blow a hole in my RS back box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 So, is it marginally slower than the equivalent engined Golf? I really don't know my figures these days, but didn't the Golf have a higher power to weight ratio? Whatever it is, I really like the look of the car.

Woppum Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 the roccy is lighter as is only fwd rather than 4wd. should be quicker too really with that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Golf R is quoted at 270PS whereas the Rocco R is 265PS but that wouldn't make up for the extra weight in the Golf de to the Hadex etc.. Not sure if he power difference between the 2 models is real or whether it's marketing to keep the Golf the "flagship" model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 well bdm stage 2 takes it to 330bhp. i may be tempted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 That would make it very rapid although you might go through tyres just as fast as you do on the RS+++ I looks really good in black. Only sen a silver one in the flesh and to be honest didn't do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Aha, I didn't realise it was 2WD. Why do I seem to think you can't get xenons on a Scirocco, have I read that somewhere and is it still (or was it ever) correct? I'd still always pick a Scirocco over a Golf. It's just a much nicer looking car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
