Very cool. Are they also Mahle/BBS?

No they are made by Exim

I stared at it longingly from the driver's seat of my best friends gorgeous E30.

I'm fixing you tomorrow baby I promise. That's a real promise too not the kind one makes to calm females.

Finally ordered a windshield seal!!! thanks vintage rubber
Now I just need to fix that whole motor decided it wanted to spit a rod issue, along with a new clutch and exhaust. Got a bit before shes drivable again

Good thing Im at tech school for another 3 months

**Iroczgirl** · 03-08-2011 11:42 PM

Drove mine on the twisty mountain roads of coastal Oregon.

Man, that was way better than therapy!

**SciroccoOhio** · 03-10-2011 12:03 AM

Today i got my exhaust done. Before i put it on i managed to shoot about a 3 foot flame and scare the hell out of my friend

**TheCrystalSkull** · 03-10-2011 03:33 AM

Grabbed tools out of it to work on my GTi.

**prom king** · 03-10-2011 07:40 AM

Kicked it as I walked past it this morning.
Can't get the damn CIS right.

**Cptn Vortex** · 03-10-2011 10:27 AM

Just picked up a set of Autotech 16v Cams.... cant wait to get them installed!

**kbag** · 03-12-2011 03:13 PM

Finally, got both brake lines thanks to O'Reilly's and a local junkyard. Just need to finish wiggling the steel line in to place.

Breaks over. Time smash my face into the sway bar again. YAY!!!!!!!

**vanagonbob** · 03-12-2011 07:36 PM

Installed a exhaust cam on the intake side. Runs about the same, maybe if I squint a bit it will seem faster.

**Mk1lover** · 03-12-2011 08:10 PM

Today i instaled my custom made strut bar and a fuse/relay block for my euro head lights.

**Brycejoseph** · 03-12-2011 09:38 PM

That bar looks great!

**Doug T** · 03-13-2011 03:26 AM

Went for a drive. Stopped and talked to some friends.

Found some center caps for omni rims.

**microdub98** · 03-14-2011 08:21 AM

A lil somthin for the YUM factor on the ever so long sciRATco build

**Cptn Vortex** · 03-14-2011 11:03 AM

Actually installed the Autotech Cams, realised I had a Euro intake cam already (will be for sale soon...)

Was running real low on torque, so decided to take another look at timing...was out by a few teeth!! Got it going good now, but it doesnt feel much different than the stock euro setup... Oh well!

**cholland_** · 03-14-2011 01:26 PM

Cut some holes in a perfectly good door.

Do you have any details on the design? It really looks terrific! Does it work?

**16VScirrocco88** · 03-14-2011 02:01 PM

got new wheels

**Varnish** · 03-14-2011 05:20 PM

Put about 30 miles on my new-to-me '87 16v Friday to run the gas down and then pulled the tank out Saturday/Sunday to confirm the leak - seems to be the pinch point along the side. No vw dealer in town and was told over the phone by vw the tank recall had been performed back in '92. Amazing how well things came apart and the general shape of things considering its spent its whole life outside here in Alaska - 1 owner & 86k miles. Gonna be a few weeks until the replacement tank gets here so I'll just have to keep myself occupied with other items on the to-do list.

**badpenny** · 03-14-2011 08:35 PM

I threw stuff in mine, so I could make room in my garage for it. Currently, setting in my driveway with a car cover.

**scrapperking** · 03-15-2011 06:37 PM

ditched the back seats today

and picked up 2 BBS wheels off a friend.

**woody16v** · 03-15-2011 10:38 PM

lined up a part time job for scirocco funds

(and some necessary festifunding= the job is 2hrs away im sure the fes will be needing some parts after a bit of that, and of course "more low")

i may make cincy after all...

getting my Scirocco ready to drive to Ohio today

going to Ohio to visit family and friends this weekend

**87REDROCC** · 03-16-2011 02:20 PM

Ok so my lower rockers looked hideous and were rock chipped to death.... solution? sand the crap out of them, grind surface rust and then painted with semi gloss black undercoat paint... still need a bit of touchup from masking but i think it looks a ton better already... luckily after sanding i did not find that the rockers were swiss cheesed with rust.
before shots

back when i got the car it was so oxidized it was pink!!!

after shots

**vanagonbob** · 03-16-2011 07:53 PM

adjusted timing & DPR. New exhaust cam mod has MORE pull now!

( I think the DPR was a little fat at 3ma...5 seems much better.)

**Meltkamp** · 03-16-2011 08:02 PM

I think u should paint the fender arches too. The square stop just kinda looks funny but just my opinion

I ordered some random parts for her that i didnt need but were NOS lol i love new old stock haha
