Thanks Bungy, Should be mid 13's with the Nitrous and 14's without. Sold the black VR Adam to fund the Scirocco ready for racing. Still thinking about a 6 pot to go in the Scirocco when I am bored of the power I have.

Bit of a delayed update but the Scirocco is road legal now and I am having a heads up with my mate in his rado vr6 to see if the Scirocco I have built can challenge him. Should be good if I can stay somewhere near him although he has just dyno'd at 185 bhp which is good as he has a cylinder leaking, Definately have him with the NOS but that will not be on until the winter. Pics of recent times...

Taking the Scirocco to this. Bit of fun in the sun more than competing

should be low 15's, with alot of practice and no rear bench you can get high 14's Ran mine at 15.89 but that was basically a highline with 17" rims and weighing 1.36t I miss that VR

I will be attending in the scirocco, bit of play more than compete!

this is what i am talkiing about, with Nitrous of course lol http://www.dubsinthebuff.com/forum/volkswagen-related/13717-rwd-corrado.html

That will be Mike's, Founder member of the Sciroccoregister. Yes it is a squeeze but its the same chassis as a mk1 golf and they have them. Mine will be going in the other way round. RWD (st)

Just an update peeps, not been around for a long time but have the VR bug again and looking out for engines to rebuild and stick in the scirocco! RWD FTMFW!!! Quick heads up, Scirocco is going out to play at Summer Nationals which is Round 4 of the VWDRC Going well and hope to be in the 14's with her less NOS. Nos to go on for Bug Jam where I am aiming for 13's! http://nitruss-racing.webs.com Can also look up Nitruss Racing on Faceache and follow me there too!

Made my donation, good luck with it Nat x

well, I think the 2.9 being 100cc more than the 2.8 is not going to give 16hp so I think the the TB and inlet manifold do a job to help breathing so I think thats where the increase helps.

swapped out the tank and cap... is there an o ring for the header tank as well as the cap? Another thread suggests Oil cooler? I am going to try and empty the coolant, re fill and run with the cap off for a while. Dont want to have to do the HG if I can fix it lol.. Is it a pig to do?

swapped out header tank for a new gen VW one but problem still occurs.. any other ideas?

also need it sorted as the golf finishes on evilbay tomorrow lol, damn problems! all at the wrong time

running normal which is weird, I can fill the water tank, drive for a few hours turn off and repeat for a day then perhaps the third day the coolant light will come on. I was puzzled for about a week then I saw it was leaking from under the black cover to the side of the tank. I have checked for air in the system and it appears ok as the car runs fine, fan cuts in and out too.. It gets me back to thinking about replacing the entire tank and cap cheers

Peeps, Coolant has been dripping out of the header tank breather under the black cap that sits at the right of it. I recently replaced the header tank cap or a G&S one, not sure i this is just coincidential. The coolant will pump out in spurts after the engine has been running a short while above tick over. It seems to go through a headers worth in a few days. Looked about and people have said it might be the cap o ring seal not sitting properly on the tank. This is weird as my 2.0 8v has the same set up tank and does not leak with no o ring lol Others have said water pump but im just wo
