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,

        I've noticed you've been a bit absent of late Pete.

        This explains it I spose - up to no good again!

        so that's 1 Beetle. 2 4 door golfs, 2 2 door golfs, and 1 passat? and a BMW? I really didn't remember your garage or driveway being that big!

            Just crazy busy/stressed at work. Lots of functions this time of year too, weekends and weekdays. I'm on holidays from next week, then I'll be back into it.

            White Golf comes back on Friday, it'll be on the dyno again all day Thursday.

            Plans for a monster carport are underway!

                Donor car shots. I had a quick look at the rust situation, it's pretty bad. Bad enough for me not to lose sleep over cutting it up. Always a shame to take another one out of circulation but some must die so that others may live.













                (I'm pretty sure I need 100% of the parts too, I'll let you all know if there's anything left over.)

                    Jarred and I scrapped a rusty Martini Olive 2 door aswell this year!!!

                    as you said, scrap one so that another may live

                    will come over soon and scope the scene out

                          Hopefully the bits I bought in the US will be at the docks for collection by the end of the week. Once it's here I'll right up the import process. It's complicated but can be done.

                          If you're good I might even show you what I bought!

                            Picked up my excess baggage from the wharves today.

                            It's going to take few days to sort through it all but here's some high lights of what in store for the race car.

                            Brakes first.

                            Rears are Std MK3 EBC rotors
                            Fronts are 256mm Vented 16v Scirocco. EBC again.
                            I got 2 pairs of discs just in case.







                            Not sure if I'll use these yet, but useful to have in the cupboard.



                            22mm Master cylinder



                            Rears




                            In amongst the other stuff is all the wheel bearings to go with this lot too.

                              I've also got ball joints and two complte sets of urethane mounts. (They were on sale! )

                              One set shown here.

                                This should be enough stuff to fully rebuild 2 020 5 speed boxes.

                                Peloquin diff



                                and for the other box a Wavetrac diff!
