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,

  • VIC Newbie... Golf R

    Hey guys, Just the standard quick hello... Name's Jad, 29, from Melbourne.

    I've been playing with cars for years, mostly my previous daily driver (with several track days) which was an R33 Skyline GTST. That thing was getting old, so I decided to join the current century and get myself a hot hatch.

    Was originally planning to go with the smart choice & get myself a Mk6 GTi, but soon realised that I'd owner the 'second from the best' Skyline for ages (always wanted the GTR). Wasn't keen on making that mistake again, so I found myself a Mk6 R. She's white, factory black 19's, leather, sat nav, blah blah blah... only thing I've done is stuck some Advan AD08 tyres under her.
    Had it for about a couple of months, and already thrown it around Winton Raceway. Managed a 1:47.4 on a wet day, and somehow came out as number 1 on the time sheets for the whole day.

    Anyway, that's probably enough from me. Keen to pop my head up around the place every so often, might even rock up and say hi at Dak Dak Cafe tomorrow... See ya 'round!
