[V8] VW Scirocco

[Ed Kellock]

Ah, reminds me that I still have all the bolt on stuff from my GTI.  An
intake manifold w/ throttle body, a couple of different downpipes, a
Bilstein sport kit, front and rear Neuspeed bars.... might be forgetting
something.
 
I've thought all along that I'd find another car to use it on one of these
days...  going on, let's see 18 years, give or take, times 365, oh, let's
just round off and say about 6500 days now...
 
*sigh*

Owned 3 myself.  Totally built the first and the last with all the toys....
Great cars, and the best factory recaros in the S.

1 1978 Scirocco S Open Class Rally Car (1979-1984)
    5spd close ratio diesel gearbox conversion
    Full SCCA Open Class Spec
1 1981 Scirocco S  ----  (1982-1985)
   GTI 4 wheel disc brake conversion

  Bilstein/Eibachs
  ADDCO swaybar kits front and rear

Enjoyed each one greatly, and still miss the nimbleness of a 1900lb car, and
the classic Guigaro design.

LOL.  I looked at that car too, but didn't see Roger's comments.  I suppose




an F150 is a better hauler but I have a picture somewhere of my old GTI




loaded to the point that it was likely worthy of the back page in Autoweek.




I bought the 83 GTI when I fell in live with my friends' 81 Scirocco S.  Two




friends each had a black one.  The GTI was great but it did not provide what




I liked about the Sciroccos.  Anyway, the overloading of the GTI was not




done by me, but by my father when I sold it to him and he lived outside of




Boston and bought a bunch of furniture at a yard sale one day.  If I can




find the pic, I'll scan it and get it online... maybe submit it to AW.
