Not to take away from your awesome progress update, but it's sold out everywhere. It goes fast and most people buy it by the case as well.

But yes, this progress is great! I can't wait to see it in color. nom nom nom

i got a six pack on ice thanx to walt, had 2 six packs earlier, foolishly guzzled those down.

local pub cracks a keg on the 20th. i need to start weight training my new pitt, i predict strapping a leash to the rolling box of awesome and taking the rocco for a cruise2/20/12.

then and only then will I condone the name Euro...til then, he is still chooch.

[Bennett@C2Motorsports]

My color suggestions:

Inaris Silver Metallic (rare)
Panama Brown (classic Mk1 color)
Ice Grey Violet (SUPER rare Mk3 color)
Dolphin Gray (Audi color)
Anthracite Brown (Mk4 Toyota Supra color)
Java Black (Subaru WRX black that has a HEAVY gold flake, looks brown in the sunlight)

May have some more later on but those are some cool colors. Ice Grey and Inaris have my votes.

Hey! Where are my goodies!?

pop quiz - whats 8mm long, 4mm wide, and can destroy a TSI engine? This guy!




no big deal really, I knew what the engine needed, just wasn't sure what had caused it. I disassembled the upper timing chain tensioner, and found this guy, with 1/2 the teeth busted off inside.

How does something like this happen? That scares me.

[$tretch]

Damn Bro! Can't believe the progress you made since I seen it last. It was just sandblasted...Amazing man! Can't wait to see it done.

[TBerk]

Faded, neglected, 30 year old, weather beaten, oxidized cosmos silver is nutt'n like a fresh, clean clear-coated dip in the Cosmos Silver. Its got a hint of bluuuuue in it...

(I can't believe I'm having to splain this...)

faulty chain tensioner...but I don't see an updated part yet. There again, I've only seen 2 failures...but I'd love to see a revision. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to replace that whenever we do your rods.

[detvw]

Matt(Dbot) was telling me about this thread. I read it, picked up a six pack of hop slam and headed straight to the garage when I got home. Very inspiring. I love what you did with the rear flares.

I have what is probably gonna be known as - fredybenderitis.

I needed a windshield. Needed euro bumpers. So, I did what any sane rocco guy would do, just buy another one that includes spare parts.

Loaded up in San Bernardino today! Should be here in 7-10

[ziggirocco]

Damn some guys get all the roccos!

I would live to get my hands on a clean s1 from Cali!
