Re: US scirocco - in Hugary (now in Estonia)

["Lauri Pettai" <lauri.pettai@netexpress.ee>]

I know a US spec Scirocco owner in Estonia too. He also speaks
Estonian. We rode with his Scirocco around Estonia some month
ago. Damn that thing is soft and slow. Now I see why you change
all those springs and shocks as soon as you buy a Scirocco in US.

It has 1.8 8v GTI engine wich gaves out only 70kW/95Hp as opposed
to European 82kW/112Hp. My Scirocco is now officially 98kW/134Hp
as I dynoed it yesterday. What the fun is to dyno your car if it costs
only 3$ for 2 runs! :)

Now I can say that installing a new full Supersprint exhaust gives you
4,5kW/6Hp. Now I need to rebuild my engine to gain the original 102kW
139Hp that should be there. I have serious valve problems in my engine
and it makes an awful noise every time I drive it, but still it works.
