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,

  • Yeah I'm happy with how the boot floor sits - it's on the high setting and only just sits a fraction higher at the boot lip than it "should" on the higher setting. You can still use the space underneath you just have to raise the floor to get to it.

    The problem you have with Suzukas is they are 20x8.5 running 255/40 R20 so you these are 40mm wider than the 215's which barely fit (at a squeeze). I agree a deeper wheel well to be able to fit a standard size wheel would be nice. It's probably not even an issue in places like Europe where distance to the next town is a bit of non-issue.

    I'm running the full-size spare wheel permanently as I really couldn't be bothered taking it in/out each time I go for a country trip.

          • I’m leaning towards the FF15. I think the FF15 with the straight lines suits the car as there's some sharp hard styling lines on the body of the Gen 2 Tig (plus the FF01's have been done before).

            • Just pulled the pin on a Racingline R600 intake.

              Harding Performance had them on 10% off sale until Friday 21 Dec and was kicking myself until I realised they still had the sale price on Ebay so grabbed it there instead.

              I think my sale has reminded them to update their Ebay pricing as it's gone up to RRP now!

                Agreed.

                FF01 requires a bigger size and more lows to work right (IMO).

                Might have to doctor up a further FF15 pic then..

                      Yes I love the OEM look of the R600. Plus it’s good for 600hp!!!

                          Wheels should only be a couple of weeks. However it's likely going to be a few months before they get fitted up unless I just shift the stock tyres across onto the new rims.

                                So do I.. gives a better confirmation of 'the look'. How often do you actually perve on your set-up perfectly side-on anyway?
