1987 Volkswagen Scirocco 16V review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than replacing a few parts due to age, nothing major. I've upgraded some aspects of the car, but only for the better. For instance, 2 red top 800cca mounted in the trunk/new alt/8mm eip wires/ tt fuel enrichment chip/ msd blaster ignition setup/ bbm fuel rail and fpr/ no cis-e./new gaskets all around/new race radiator/w flex light scirocco fan/ new tt cams/ bbm 4-1 header... there's prolly more can't remember, but she really flys=)
General comments?
My rocco will be with me forever, god willing, and I have some big plans for her/ maybe even a vr6 turbo setup=) Simply put... the best car I've ever owned.
