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 got some old 205/45/16 tyres of a friend this morning and put them on two of the d90s to have a look. They look good on the 16x9 but not so much the 16x8. Hopefully ordering some 195/40 and 205/40/16 T1Rs once the wheels get refurbished. Such a huge difference between the 40 and 45 profile!

    whatcha think?

    • Nothing huge to update the thread with, just a photo from the weekend. I'm also starting to pick up some some bits for the abf conversion. 256mm brake conversion, Sach 16v clutch kit and a full set of bushes. Can't wait to get started on it!

      whatcha think?

        • Bit of a ****ty update...





          I am now on the hunt for a new passenger door after my girlfriend didn't do too well at getting into our apartment building carpark today!
          Really annoyed but oh well, nothing money can't fix

          Time she got her own car now!
          whatcha think?

          • How did she manage that? Did she try and handbrake park, Ken Block style?

            • that sucks!

              hopefully damage is just limited to the door, as that shouldn't be too hard to replace.

              • Yeah I am pretty sure it is just the door so hopefully it won't be too bad.

                The side trim is a bit munched though. Any one have that bit they want to sell???

                  • Nothing too exciting to update this thread with. Found a replacement door for the passenger side and it is booked in a couple of weeks to get painted and sort out a few more dents on the car.



                    I snapped up a set of Sebrings with near new 195s on them to run as a spare set. Always liked these wheels, nicest OEM wheel around!
                    The mate who is helping me is out with the ABF swap is out in the country and has a pretty hardcore driveway so I decided to chuck on the Sebrings and wind the coils up a bit.

                    Amazing what a few centimeters and some different wheels do to the look of a car!

                        • Progress!!

                          The nasty smash in the door has been fixed and the Jetta is looking much better!



                          I have also been picking up some goodies for it! I'm waiting on some engine bits to come back from the powdercoaters and then hopefully getting started on the ABF next weekend!!

                          Maybe some 16x8 and 8.5 RS's too...
