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,

    Looks pretty good. You'd have to have a keen eye and know what you're looking for to think it's not totally level.

    How does it attatch to the car?

              Heh good one. I'd say the diesel boys could be showing the VN V8s the same thing as well there. Love it when that happens. The best bit is when you're short shifting as well.

                  Turn the traction control off and said understeer pretty much disappears.
                  You saying you wouldn't give an .:R a good flogging on a nice mountain road.

                      Not solid highway cruising no. Only had the thing for like 3 months now. Of course, long and twisty roads is a given!

                      What understeer, it loves some good sideways movement!

                      • Too much chatter here!

                        Fitted the sill plates today. Thanks to Barneyboy for the help . Gee I took about half an hour to decide which silastice to buy. So many, so confusing.

                          Took off the FUGLY euro plate holder today.... Looks much better! (trip to bunnings tomorrow for black caps for the holes)

                          Fitted a stubby antenna from dubaddiction about 3 weeks ago now....
