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,

        It all depends on who turns up on the night. I find the Wednesday nights are a lot quieter than the Saturdays. Last time we went I had about 8 runs by 7pm and had enough so I sat in a stand and watched but other times I was flat out getting 2 runs because of rain.

              ................always wanted to attend one of these and it would be good to watch u guys take the vw's for a fang...... howeva boras bushings need to be replaced quite badly thanks to shocking qld rds. So I dont think id make this one.

              what exactly are these events....are they testing cars straight line speed, so that we are able to know how work on our cars as improved performance? and I can see you need a helmet from willowbanks website, which I have been meaning to get for sometime does anyone know where to buy good helmets from?

                  look around motorbike shops for helmets. they have a large range and that's your best chance of getting a bargain when they clear stuff to make way for a new range. motorbike helmet is fine for this event as long as it has the australian standard sticker, which they should all have unless they're toys.

                  some people are clowns and turn up with full face motocross helmets with dust filter. who knows, maybe that's a good thing when the commodore beside u decides to create a smoke screen to hide the car from all angles.

                    Would love too but.... I'm giving the clutch a little more time to heal after I hurt it quite badly.

                    Long pants, long sleeve shirt and enclosed shoes are a must along with the helmet. I just used an old dirt bike helmet and had no dramas.

                    Best of luck to all those who are going out.
