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,

    Yep, The Gabriel shock/kingspring combo is long overdue for replacement.....

    but I don't think I'll have time to swap it out before May, I'll be away for all of April spending too much money on other parts.......

          To save you waiting for a month cause Pete is on holidays, it's made from a toilet brush holder!

          Atleast, I'm pretty sure it was.

            Correct! $10 at Big W and I get to use the brush for cleaning parts!

            • It's track time again.

              Sandown FFCC sprints 10/5/09 ( Mother's Day) http://www.ffcc.asn.au/

              Same deal as usual, you're all welcome to pop along and say hi or stay for day and get officially recognised as pitcrew (the pay sucks but imagine the prestige! )

              I picked up a cheap 2nd hand laptimer whilst in the USA, I'ts all installed bar running the cable.







              See you track side.

              Pete

              • Just got the call from the organisers, I'll be in group 3 car number 171.

                The field I'll be in includes Escorts, Lasers and an Anglia.

                There's no heavy metal in the pack which is nice.

                        • Time to prep the car today. I'll take a few pics of the street to track transformation.

                          Track time tomorrow! Spectators get in free if anyone wants to come and say Hi. Entry to Sandown is via Princes Hwy gate.
