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 think I've decided on the PF01's. Just waiting to hear back from a few places re final pricing.
      I like the RPF1's but I don't want to be building a carbon copy of Ants car!
      I think the PF01's are the next best option, weight v looks

      I'm on the lookout for some good 215/40/17 tyres now. Any recommendations?
      So far the Fed's that Ant's running seem like a good option, would love to hear some opinions..
      Hey mate, crazy idea. You wouldn't tempted by my rpf1's would you???

        Always tempted haha
        Depends on what you're chasing for them tbh, let me know.
        I'm starting to really like the PF01's...

          My Verdict Motorsports shifter bushings arrived today, along with their wiper delete kit.
          Looks much cleaner from the back --




          I still need to poke my head underneath the hood and confirm what shifter bushings I have so I can order them from 42DD.
          It's little progress at the moment as all my orders are coming in, but it's progress!

                              Thanks guys.
                              Yeah I love the valve cover, it's not perfect but I'm getting the other one I replaced wrinkle powder-coated to closer match the colour of the car.


                              Yep Federals all-round. I managed to source them for $145 ea so I'll see how they go.
                              Second-guessing myself wondering if I should have gone 18's...

                                Nup. 18s on a polo would suck. 17s are almost too much as it is.
