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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Any lap times from the Liberty guys? I know you mentioned some of those cars were running 200+ kW at the wheels which is just amazing - would be interesting to know how that translated into lap times.
    Lol... Lets just say you flogged us all

    I know the white Lib was running low 1:13's for most of the day... To be honest, the rest weren't really much competition. I've learnt that without coil overs, the Lib's AWD system is nasty on the track Thus why so many of us were off the track so often! heheheheheheh

    My mate in the MPS3 was running around 1:18's... I think someone timed the 911 Turbo to 1:11-1:12... The SSV ute apparently ran around the 1:13's... Megane was low 1:14's... That is about all I can remember.

    But I know the fastest time on the day was a member of this forum He knows who he is ... Closely followed by you James! I'm still getting over how hard that Polo of yours went!!!

    • Thanks for that info - nice to know we were doing the VW badge proud in some seriously powerful company.

      I think Cliff turned a 1:09 in his Turbo with a passenger on board (no wonder those who had a ride were impressed - that's a seriously quick car and a fantastic driver). I managed a 1:11.2 in the cabrio and 1:14.4 in the 4WD.

      Love this pic from the Liberty forum:



      Looking forward to the next outing!

          It's certainly more than capable around the track - ran 18th outright at the Porsche Club Canberra Supersprint earlier this year at Wakefield (1:14.15) which certainly took people by surprise.

          And of course that's in a completely stock 4WD with 3500kg towing capacity, full leather interior, 4 separate air conditioners, heated seats and a TV tuner...

                A few of the Liberty (Me included) are looking at purchasing all the photos taken by the photographer on the day.

                So if your interested in this, please shoot me a PM so we can sort out final price & all that jazz

                Cheers
