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,

    • Cheers Jarred,

      Just got the discs machined, they were scored up after Sandown 'cos I didn't replace the pads soon enough.

      Ordered a set of EBC red stuff pads, got the last set in the country in this size. At $175 a set I think I'll be importing them in the future, they're $100 cheaper overseas! So much for supporting local businesses!

        • Brakes are in. It'll be next year before I get to use them though.

          I'll have the car dyno tuned over Christmas and get the brakes bedded in then.

          • Cleaning white up for DOVW cavalcade.

            Cleaned engine bay. Life's a bit easier now that the water restrictions have lifted to the point where we can use pressure washers.

            I installed a hot water tap to my driveway today too, the hot water makes cleaning a bit easier.





            I've given the whole car a cut and polish too, it's the only way I could get the track grime, tar and rubber off the car.

                          • Thanks guys, my winning strategy was to fill in the entry forms correctly, finish races and turn out to more rounds than anyone else.

                            I didn't actually manage to place in any of the rounds, but because I got points in all three rounds I faired pretty well overall.

                            I've got to admit to being pretty chuffed though, not too shabby for white's first proper race series.

                              • First race of the season tomorrow. I'm off to Phillip Island.

                                No real changes to the car over Christmas.

                                I'm running a newer set of semislicks this season with only one race on them.

                                The old set I got second hand and they've lasted me two seasons there's still tread but they're starting to go off a bit.
