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,

  • Working well so far. Knocked a couple of seconds off my best time. Paul's out here in his mk4 R32 too. He's had a few exciting moments.

                          • @dubmc:

                            I think to remember that a 2L catch can is a CAMS requirement...

                            • Oops didn't notice this question. Yep 2 Litres is the CAMS requirement.

                              • Just filled in the entry forms for the next 2 events.

                                Sandown Group 5 Sprint on 26/6/11

                                Winton VSSC round 2 on 10/7/11

                                Also the logging software I use now has a website where you can review the session data I've collected.

                                It's still in development and I've got o fix up my older data yet but take a look.
