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,

    • thoroughly enjoyed seeing the progression of this over the years, and enjoyed seeing it drive at a few events. Look forward to the next phase!

      • From wreck to race and back to road again. I've started de-tuning and road prepping white.

        It's quite a nostalgia trip as I undo the race mods I've done over the years.

        • White's back out of the garage to make room while I work on the Kamei golf.

          I had to put a gearbox back in and it fired right up.



          Hopefully I'll have some time to do some more work on it over the break.

          • I've got a few days off over Easter so I'm trying to get white ready for a roadworthy test.

            The windscreen is very sandblasted after a few years on the track. With the screen coming out it was time to investigate the pillars for rust.

            There was more rust in the pillars than I was expecting. Previous owner had done a good job of bogging it up.

            I had to repair the inner piece as well as replacing the outer skin.

            I've got a progressive Weber to go into this, just need to find a stock or mild cam to suit solid lifters.

            • Good to see white getting some much needed care and attention, btw I absolutely love this thread I couldn't tell you how many hours I've spend reading it over and over.
