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 recommend and exhaust complete if you have not done that. Junk the OE manifold if you can. Put in a CAI kit too.
    Then I would suggest a suspension upgrade.

        Your choice, but I would keep it if its in good shape. As for the auto, it wouldnt be that hard to convert it to a manual.

        What are you wanting from it ? More HP or other ?

          Hi mate an eyebrow for the headlights, upswept dtm exhaust. K and N Pod filter that makes em sound nice or if you want to keep the airbox take off the little elbow on the base behind the headlight and drill a series if 22mm holes round the airbox for that nice induction noise! I had a pollen filter in mine mate and it sounded good with the holes. Mate there is a list of thing you can do to that. And like the guys say if it is in good nick keep it and put an 020 box in her mate.

                  Transmission cooler i would think

                  Id start with suspension, then rims.... Autos are good for cruising!
                  But if you want more performance go Manual....looks like a neat example!
                  Id keep it!

                  but yea, some Coil overs and some fat rims to begin with.....
                  both not cheap, but gives you something to aim for. lol
                  some people say money grows if you save it....im not so shure tho
                  Cheers, Benny

                            Thats a sweet ride mate.

                            If it were mine, id drop it, chuck some nice 17inch wheels on it (Rally style)

                            K & N Air Filter

                            2 inch exhaust straight through

                            Manual conversion (maybe expensive)

                            Start small, id personally keep it simple with just what i mentioned
