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,

      Wow, so many wheels! Good to see a unique car and the dedication you obviously have.
      Not sure how you steer cause there doesn't seem to be enough clearance for the wheels to move more than a few cms!

        I'm guessing Deadpool rides it at a height sufficient for steering and suspension travel then slams down when parked like this video.

          Has to as it's completely engineered. Drive height is above 100mm with me in the car to comply with the Engineering Certificate.

            I've also bought a second set of BBS's. Have torn them apart though. I intend to build them myself.



            Got my first wheel accompanied by the Waffle & Hex Cap back from the Polisher. Decided to test one before I went all in and I can safely say I am hugely satisfied.





            The lips have been set back as the people making them told me one time and they've been put back over a month (FML) so I've got further time to clean up the Barrels, get my Gold Bolts in and have the faced re-drilled and Polished.

              Really excited to see this build come along. Good luck with the BBS wheels!

                Had some pretty ****-house luck earlier this week. Front right bag blew for no apparent reason. Car was literally just sitting in the driveway. Looks like the clamp failed. Time to upgrade from Slam Series struts to Performance Series.







                On another note, myself and Vinh got a fairly decent feature in this month's Performance VW Magazine. Go check it out.

                    Finally have an update on the wheels. I finished building them yesterday. Just giving the Sikaflex a day or so to dry before we chuck the tyres on.

                      Well, the BBS's are finally on. I think they came out spectacularly. Final specs are 17x11 +3 front and 17x12.5 -3 rear. Enjoy a pic dump.































                      Of course, here's some close-ups too.
