  • Volkswagen Golf or Scirocco? Ingo Noak can’t decide so it tunes both

    Ingo Noak Tuning releases wide body kits for both the Scirocco and Golf models

    Ingo Noak Tuning isn’t a car company which we hear about very often. Maybe this is the reason why the tuners have surprised us with two tunings on different Volkswagen models. Obviously, the experts couldn’t decide, which one they prefer: the imposing Scirocco, or the athletic Golf. We can’t make this choice either, so we appreciate the efforts done here.

    Basically, the specialists from Northern Germany have created high standard custom body kits for the duo. What the couple shares in common is the Ingo Noak Tuning’s wide body conversions, which has been made of high quality ABS plastic in combination with glass-fibre parts.

    Some of the highlights of the wide body kit include in-house made wheel arch flares with racecar-style fixing screws, carbon spoiler lip and Cup side skirts. There is also something that the tuner calls R bodykit, which includes extended wheel arches that house the 20-inch diameter wheels. By the way the latter are pushed right to the edges by the new spacers, thus delivering low, wide and purposeful stance.

    At the back of the car we see new carbon-look underbody diffusers and massive 100mm outlets of the North Exhaust stainless steel exhaust system. Although both models come riding on 20-inches, the Golf sits Advance Wheels AV2.0 alloys wrapped in 265/25R20 Hankook Ventus S1 Evo tyres, while the Scirocco’s big arches are filled by Keskin KT14 wheels with red painted centers and polished flanges, and are shod with the same as Golf’s tyres.

    At last, both models have received ST coilover suspension, which drops the ride height further.

    These wide body Wolfsburgers are high class, aren’t they?

  • A Comeback of a Legend. Scirocco Rises from The Ashes.

    2016 Schirocco GTSThere are cars like Scirocco, that stay in our hearts forever. Some of them live by our memory and other live, because they are constantly reinvented. The Scirocco comes back to life, just like a phoenix rises from the aches. There was a time, 41 years ago, when the first GTS was introduced at Geneva Motor Show and instantly became an icon not only for the German coupes, but for all of Europe.

    Now Volkswagen presents a wonderful redesigned and revised edition, that keeps the traditions alive, but at the same time a modern technology is added. The completely restyled Scirocco GTS comes with 220 hp (162 kW). The Volkswagen customers and fans will notice that the Scirocco engine is similar to the Golf GTI powerplant. In fact, yes, the brand intentionally got the design and performance genes of the GTI series and put them in the newborn GTS powerplant.

    At the end, when we talk about the engine system, Scirocco demonstrates a four-cylinder turbo-charged petrol engine, that is well-known for its incredible response time and agility. An in addition, it is designed to fit and perform in full harmony with either the manual gearbox, or the special 6-speed DSG gearbox. The top speed is 246 km/h and the car will go from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds.

    The interior also deserved its attention. The red and black colors dominate and blend together to bring that sporty look and feel. The comfortable cabin includes beautiful inlays, GTS badges, stainless steel pedals, redesigned seats, special air vents and other.

     And when it comes to technology, we definitely must tell you about the Modular Infotainment Matrix, that is included for the first time in a Scirocco model. In fact, the Scirocco model can be ordered with customizable interior tweaks, that include the “Vienna” leather pack, panoramic sunroof, multifunctional steering wheel and many other.

    The Scirocco GTS is really a special car, that brings back good memories and is ready to get you to adventure like no other.

  • LSD Volkswagen Scirocco

    With gull-wing door plates by LSD, the VW Scirocco (type 13) becomes a real head-turner. LSD offers the hinges as a complete set for both doors including hinges, cable set fitting materials and attachments for only 1549 Euro including VAT.

    The plates are equipped with the new GRS (Guided Roller System). It offers an adjustment possibility with the roller guidance of the roller bearing integrated in the hinges. This results in more safety and more precise opening and closing of the door.

    LSD plates are delivered with a part certificate by the German Technical Control Board which ensures that the LSD gull-wing doors fulfil all security standards.
    Compared to other retrofit-sets for gull-wing doors, the LSD plates “made in Germany“ impress with a fully developed technology and the highest-possible quality standard. Moreover, a test laboratory accredited by the Federal German Transport Authority confirmed in a side crash-test that the LSD-solution which is patented in Germany is as safe as any serially fitted door. That means that passenger safety in a side crash is guaranteed according to guideline 96/27/EG by the LSD hinge system. LSD enables an easy and quick assembly without welding or painting works and impresses by its perfect fitting accuracy due to its three-dimensional adjustment.

    The LSD plates are fitted to the original door attachment points of the dismantled original plates. After the assembly, the otherwise unchanged original door first opens outwards and then securely guided and damped upwards. Adjustable plates stop doors from opening too far or from falling inwards or downwards when opened. And also, it only takes one grip to close the doors. The LSD gull-wing doors render a sensational look to any car and are the ideal solution of fans of extraordinary tuning- and show cars. The LSD door plates can be obtained directly from LSD or from a specialist dealer.
