Scirocco #2

I managed to find a 1984 Small spoiler, no wiper hatch. This thing is kind of unubtainium.

We drove out to EuroRanch to hang out, and managed to make it there and back and even win a prize for the longest D!

In the spring of 2019 I drove to Dayton for the annual "Cincy" gathering, I had to work on the alternator on that drive but otherwise it was great. ♂️

About 2 weeks after I got it running well, we had the track day at Grattan. The car was a champ, I pushed it pretty hard considering it had almost no miles on my install.

She's a driver now, I'm going to have to get some images hosted to update this project!

Thanks guys, the trans is a 2Y, and functions as if it has a LSD. I cleaned up the engine and not only does it have those cool parts, but it appears to be ported and polished as well!

Glad you found a trans, nice bonus engine! Grille looks great too!

Nice progress. I dig the period correct grille. Some cool old school parts on the 8v as well.

Today it's sad 'rocco beer day. Missing a strut housing due to the fiasco the other day. Picking up some new(sed) ones on Thursday. I got the clutch finger fixed and was happy when the clutch worked.

In other good news, I got the kamei grille out, and I have Euro bumpers en route!

I have gotten the car on the ground with the new suspension, I got the clutch finger fixed, BUT, the trans will only go into 3rd and neutral. This makes it kind of hard to drive! [emoji51]

Today I came across a "tuned" engine and trans from a race car. They only pulled it to put in a VR6. It has some pretty nice goodies on it, so I'm going to believe their Dyno results of 100 HP! I'm just not sure if I want to drop this whole thing in, or if I just want to install the trans for now.

it's finally on the garage and I'm working on it! Woo! Suspension and clutch finger fix coming up!

Too bad I had one housing that didn't want to work with the inserts and it got stuck in the housing, it wouldn't come out, it wouldn't go in. I managed to destroy a brand new Koni and the old housing. Time to get another one!

Nice score Jason.

Thanks, I

Sweet rimps!

Maybe I missed it, but is this a 16v?

All stock 8V at the moment.
