My mk2 scirocco parked around the side of the road, its very clean and definitely not just had a quick wipe down at work

Realdash taking the data straight from my standalone ecu, few inputs to button up but its been great!
Walter white from breaking bad. The text on the bottom says "i am the build guide"
Gonna have to dm for that boo, have just been freeballing it tbf
Basically its an android getting data from the car only everything's very custom to make it fit like oem
There is a hole where the instrument cluster used to be on my Scirocco There is a 3d printed box with circuit board and screw terminals connected to wires leading into the dash opening
The dash opening now has a lot of wires coming out leading to a 3d printed housing with an Odroid N2+ mounted in it
A close up of the instrument cluster on my Scirocco, its a digital display in the style of a DigiFiz. This one has been customised with a boost gauge and rpm gauge going up to 10,000rpm
The future is now, old man

Photos of a mkw scirocco dashboard, there is a gloss black blank square where the gauges should be. There is a reflection of me taking the photo in the square
Guys its so hot today, my dashboard gauges have melted and left behind a flat gloss black panel?? Wtf

Im unsure how much ive posted about this little (very big omg I've spent so long on this) project. Waiting on some parts before I can trial fit and show off properly
Fingers crossed for next week!
So you just get a little teaser for now
My Mk2 Scirocco. On the front are 14" steel wheels and on the rear are 15" BBS alloys
So... she's a little mismatched rn

Wasn't gonna go to the shop when I got home but seeing this at the top of my street, I had to have a walk past for photos
A very tidy 924 S Le Mans
A VW 8 valve G-60 head sat on a workbench in the shed with twin 40 IDF carbs attached
The back of the G-60 head with twin 40 IDFs attached and a stainless 4 branch exhaust manifold too
Promised I'd post more so here's what I'm up to rn
Pretty much everything's here for my engine now

After a rather heart racing drive down and back from the motorist with very... not good handling characteristics from the car, I found this while inspecting the engine mounts
Yes, that is the wishbone bolt currently not where it should be (tight and holding the arm in place)
Brain not working, too many cool cars

This is what influencers do right?
20.03.2025 19:06 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah lol
Probably could chop it up smaller and it'll be cheaper but that's for later
Absolutely!
I was gonna print it, make a mold and then fiberglass or carbon it
The universe said fuck you though
(1/3 of the bumper would cost Β£5000 to print and I'd want 4 wheel arches and a rear bumper too)

Other than that, all good
