Genuine happiness from Kyle when it ran first start and the day after. I'm so happy you got it running so good, you could barely hear it at times. Having a running and soon MOT'ed hobby car is such a motivational boost. Happy New Year Kyle!
@@postmandnb cheers!! So very true!! It's a boost I didn't know I needed! Can't wait to see what the MOT brings!! Booked in so shouldn't be long to wait 🤣🤣 Happy new year and thank you again for checking in so frequently this year!
@@skyrocketautomotive something about the real, nothing hidden or faked content appeals to me, so thank you for putting it out. Bigger things to come in 2025!
Ah, that really means a lot! This is the car that started everything for me, I'll probably tell the full story in the next video if there's time for it. I've met so many awesome people, and learned about Pierburgs and a myriad other things getting this car on the road all those years back, I wouldn't have Skyrocket OR this channel without this old girl. No matter how bad life has gotten I've never even considered moving her on, it'd be like losing a limb to ever not have this car in my life :)
@@skyrocketautomotive I understand how you feel about that car, I have two forever cars: the yellow KE36 Corolla and the IS200/AS200, I am who I am cause of those cars
Hey Kyle! Came back from a holiday break to find a billion notifications on TH-cam. Anyway, two thoughts after this video: 1) The things we love most are those that cause us the greatest frustration, and 2) The best way to clean a car is a MONTAGE! :) Cheers, sir!
Don't usually comment but I only just found your channel and honestly love this style of content, you have a class personality and a clear love for this MIGHTY MACHINE! Cant wait to slowly see you make it just as good as you spoke about :)
Ah thank you! It is yeah, I'm pretty sure there's only been one occasion where the music in my videos isn't mine and it's right at the start of this video in the background (TH-cam library) all the other music on my channel is mine, for better or worse (usually worse 😂) Appreciate you noticing!
Thanks very much! Plenty more to come, and plenty of Rocco stuff on my channel 😁 the "Skyrocket in Order" playlist has all of my project videos to date and there's about 6 more videos based around Sciroccos in there Thanks for watching and see you on another video!
@@russellrobson7632 couldn't agree with you more! It's how I ended up with my business: I started out repairing and rebuilding Pierburgs initially! Fantastic carbs 😁
@russellrobson7632 yep, sadly it's the default now, and a leftover one at that from an era where people hadn't figured out how to fix them yet! It's an objectively better carburettor than the weber, there is no performance gain to be had, the "extra power" is actually the opposite- the surge of power at 4k rpm is the result of the bogging down lower in the rev range finally clearing!
@@skyrocketautomotive Quite agree, I bought Gladys, my GL Auto with a Webber fitted. Awful fuel economy, around 16 mpg, ran rich as and used to snot out a shot of black unburned fuel on startup. Oh yeah, and she was only making 55 HP on a rolling road!! Luckily Bromyard VW sorted me out when I sent the original PB carb for him to fit. HP Mojo & fuel economy back!! Mines the 2B5... 👍🇬🇧
Ah, Bromyard VW is a lovely chap, it's a shame he's had some health issues this past couple of years but we are kindred spirits in our love of all things Pierburg! You may not believe it but I have a GL called GLadice myself! haha (well, I've since given it to my lad to get roadworthy with my help as he learns to drive) I'm glad you got some tangible data to show this situation with Weber carbs, they can be finessed to a better degree with jetting etc, but they're never quite right compared to an OE carb, plus for all that faffing about you could just get a Pierburg working!
@@montydonnelly2622 ah nice!! I like the CL trim, I'm glad you've still got it too, many people are top quick to move their first car on in the name of an "upgrade" Thanks for your lovely comment and welcome to the channel, I hope you have a great 2025!
Goddamit Kyle now i really want that white Rocco in Leatherhead >:( Joking aside, It really does my heart a load of good seeing old cars put back on the road at the best of times but knowing how important that Rocco is to you made ten times better :) Hope you had a good birthday and Happy New Year in advance :D Here’s to another year of content🍻( and buying that 106 😏) Lettuce. Also that Rocco gti on eBay was 750 starting as an auction not a buy it now. I missremembered (but in fairness it was 2am when i last looked 😅)
@lettuce984 this comment really means a lot, thank you so much! BUYTHEROCCO I'm definitely down for that 106 if I can make it work!! Can't wait to daily my Rocco again, it's long overdue! Getting her running again was a brilliant birthday present :) A very happy new year to you and yours, catch you soon!!
@skyrocketautomotive will do I rewired a kitchen and my payment was his scirocco unfinished project . Good chance you may see it when it's running as I'm oxfordshire too
I've got a black scirocco gt it's bin garaged I've got to many cars..it's a nice twin webers coilovers lots done runs mint if any wants to buy it..its up for sale clean old car..roll thru a mot easy..
@skyrocketautomotive it's a nice old car Duncun bailtyins brother owned it off dragons den bin really looked after sat it aways starts first time..I've got to many projects life probs at min seems a shame its sat seeing this vid could make someone a beautiful classic vw

I hope you enjoy the next installment!
Is that your original music starting at about 35:50? That's good stuff.

Appreciate you noticing!
Ah, and the 924 video for some reason 😂
Scirocco content! Instant subscription!! Need more !
Thanks very much!
Plenty more to come, and plenty of Rocco stuff on my channel 😁 the "Skyrocket in Order" playlist has all of my project videos to date and there's about 6 more videos based around Sciroccos in there
Thanks for watching and see you on another video!
Very nice! Pleased to see you've mated her back with a Pierburg too, waaayyyy better than a Webber! 👍🇬🇧
@@russellrobson7632 couldn't agree with you more! It's how I ended up with my business: I started out repairing and rebuilding Pierburgs initially!

@@skyrocketautomotive yet VW Heritage still recommend replacing Pierburgs with a Webber on their website... treasonous!

The best way to start a new year is to have Suzie back on the road - Happy New Year bhey!
@@ruppyt1284 Cheers Bhey! Here's to more road trips this year!!
I’ve got a ‘90 golf CL as my first car. I’d die for a white scirocco scala or a GTII ❤ very enjoyable video. Happy new year!
