Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    Vehicles Mk3 VR6 with "278hp" RIGHT.

    Check out this 'mad' mk3 vr6
    It's got an air filter, 3" cat back exhaust and a coil pack.
    And an extra 100hp then stock.

    People these days.

    If you look closely in one of the photos the front tyres are actually bald.

      I went and looked at this the other week. It's thrashed to ****, the guys gone through 3 clutches in 6 months for some reason. I wonder why.

      I seriously thought I was going to die at one point too when he took me for a test drive. Scary stuff. Poor thing was bouncing valves all over the place before he changed gears.

      Also, it isn't that clean either, body has heaps more damage than photos show. Suspension felt off too.

        If we take the relationship of mods to hp as exponential (as he clearly has) I would say mine therefore has about 350hp! Logical conclusion, yes?

                        Lol Byron about the bouncing valves and imminent death when I took a couple of guys test drives in my WRX when I was selling it,I was trying to decide whether to cane it or drive like a granny I chose to drive it like I normally do, I.e rev and blast to the speed limit (not to red line, but about 1K below), no abuse on clutch hehe.

                              Would need the extra 100hp to keep up with traffic carting that sound gear around
