New member and car! (1.8t scala)

Post by ant »

Hi im Anthony!

I bought a scirocco mk2 scala last august with a 1.8 carb engine and an auto gearbox. It also came with storm blue leather interior too. It spent all of winter undercover due to running issues but in January i finally got her running and i have been using it as my daily since.

In august this year i decided to take her off the road again and undertake an engine conversion, i decided on a 1.8t agu engine from an audi a3, the end is nearly in sight and in a few weeks i will hopefully be starting her for the 1st time! (fingers crossed). Build thread to follow and rocco parts will be for sale soon! Let me know what you think..

Welcome to the register, you have been busy over the last few months and it looks like a very tidy job on the engine conversion and a clean car you have.
We always like a build thread so please post one up.

Thought I would post a few details of the conversion:
1.8t agu engine
190bhp remap
Front mounted intercooler
2.5" custom stainless de cat exhaust
Free flow performance stainless back box
S2000 cone filter
Audi A3 servo and master cylinder upgrade
Evap can delete
N249 delete and catch can installed

Also resprayed engine bay with r32 steel grey, hopefully the rest of the car will be too next year!
