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.

New Forum Server and Software - VWWatercooled Australia

https://www.vwwatercooled.com/forum/first-stop/forum-rules-how-to-post/2037513-new-forum-server-and-software

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,

Can't argue with a fact like that

I was actually getting t-shirts made up, but the first batch didn't come out right. The Rising Blue ones seem to fit better than the Tornado Red ones. I think they need to use a lightweight cotton but I have to check with Ray first.

At least you would know that if he changes his mind you'll get to keep the deposit!

Looks like some lucky bugger has scored Ray's rescinded Blue Golf R almost fully optioned. Well done. Dealer thought it would be a bugger to off-load not having a sunroof. Ray is sitting tight for another 12 mths. See what the Mark 7 GTI has to offer in the near future.

Here's a short review in respect to swapping out OE springs for stiffer aftermarket lowering springs whilst retaining OE dampers in the first instance; then adding Koni Sport dampers to the strut type springs; and finally, a set of ST coilovers (the poor cousin of the KW V1 only tuned for the North American market):

New Suspension Review ST Coilovers VS. H&R Sport + Koni Yellows VS. H&R Sport + OEM - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Best to just spend the extra dough on the more expensive coilover kit - saves doing things twice or thrice.

On another note - new adjusters for the MK5 Golf for KW coilovers:

Product news - KW automotive GmbH

The new type of adjusters should bring the KW coilover closer to the Bilstein PSS10 for ease of adjustment.

Cheers.
WJ
