Hi all, planning to get APR's stage 1 ECU upgrade for my 1.4 roc. Any precautions before going for the upgrade? My mileage is still less than 2k, would there be any problems? Will the SC know I did an ECU upgrade? Thanks.

bye bye to 5 yrs warranty, haha. but that:s what im thinking right now too, 1.4 power really really no kick at all. need at least stage1, i feel u man
but im doing other stuff first, maybe after 15k or 30k only will consider stage1
prob not .. no more roc R .. hehe... so settling for 2.0 lah ...
Awesome bro! Now I see that after the 2.0, straight away Roc R bodykit, exhaust setup and straight away Stage 2. Then exactly like the Roc R power liao hahaha

Hmm, in that case better start with UB and RNS510 first.
By the way there's not that many roc's on the road. I always get glances from people every time I got out of my car. Can't say the same for GTI's since there's a lot of them on the road.
No offense bro but if you buy a car to get glances from people, then you are really buying a car for the wrong reasons. Because of the 2doors tax structure in Malaysia, you are paying a lot more for a Roc than what it is actually worth. Just pop over to Sg (or any other parts of the world) and you will realize that the GTI is held in higher regards to the Roc 2.0 in both performance and prestige.
Added on August 17, 2011, 11:50 pmTell people that you paid about the same money for a Roc 1.4 vs the GTI and you will probably get even more "glances".

Yeah I know about the 2-door tax. Just pointing out what I experienced so far driving a Scirocco. The performance of course la cannot match with GTI.
Originally wanted to go for GTI but chosed Scirocco instead because it's so damn sexy looking hehe.
Yeah. The Roc is indeed very sexy looking. I might be tempted to buy a Roc if it wasn't for the damn 2-door tax. Anyways, glad that you are happy with your ride.

agree! but for roc users, probably due to lust of owning a 2 door. the shape really do attract a few glances.
if the SE still had stock, i would have gone for the golf instead of roc, but ever since get the roc, no regrets, next aim should be a comfortable sedan. hohoho
