V3DUB 0 Posted July 8, 2006 As some of you may know my corrado was vandalised some time ago and the insurance are still dealing with the claim. I was thinking of a new project if i dont carry on with the C, how about a mk1 scirocco 20vt. Does anyone know how difficult this is to do?, do you have to modify chassis legs to accomodate the subframe type engine etc etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted July 9, 2006 The best person to talk to is actually Kirsten over in the States. She's done a 20VT conversion on her Mk1 Rocco pretty much all by herself :shock: :notworthy: And what a work of art it has become !! :-) Her website with loads of info is http://www.funksoulkitty.org/ Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've done an incredible job between them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madscientist 0 Posted July 10, 2006 A guy in Blackburn has got one, he works at 'Green lane garage' I think hes called Paul. Its light green, totally striped out with a roll cage and bucket seat, i think its got NOS as well now? Its had magazine reviews recently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted July 10, 2006 The guy in Blackburn is Paul Jordan and the Rocco can run an 11.5 quarter mile! So I guess a Rocco 20VT works pretty well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted July 10, 2006 It would seem to me that 'Dan' played rather more than a small part in the conversion... This is true, but Kirsten still knows her spanners :lol: Not your average (if there is such a thing) girl who happens to have a fleeting interest in all things petrol, and particularly Mk1 Roccos :-) Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted July 10, 2006 You're not wrong. I'd give up a lot for a girl like that...probably :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
