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, pretty happy to see it getting lots of traffic over the last month!

      I also made the decision last night after driving to Jimmy's place and dropping the car off to discard all thoughts of ever selling it, and to just go silly. So, it begins in earnest now.

              Haha, how could you guess!?

              Yeah, all the usual stuff but I got it all together for cheap as from a mate who's selling his Pog. Gives me a good solid base to grow from.

                  • Bought a gtechpro fanatic RR this week. Main focus is to be a laptimer for the trackdays we're doing, though will do some performance logging when time permits. At the moment just wanting to ensure I can get it logging laps for lakeside next weekend and understand the data that I'll get from it, will than look into the HP functionality, 0-100km/h and whatnot. The RR seems to be the worth the additional money over the SS for the computer interface functionality which is more powerful and can be more accurate through interogating the data rather than what's available solely from the unit - more so relating to horsepower aspects. But my purpose is laptime and segments, so the other features are secondary for me.

                      Keep us updated on how well this works - it seems very cheap for what it does but if it works, then I'm all for it

                          They're around the AUD$1000 aren't they? I did look at the Performancebox and other racelogic gear though the price was prohobitive.

                          I'd done quite a bit of research and for the accuracy and price, this should do the trick. I added a thread in the general section recently to seek input. I'd looked at the phone apps with an external GPS bumping it up to 5hz, though felt too gimicky for similar price to this unit. Gtech have a video on youtube from the drags and it was within a few hundredth of a second each time.

                          Kaanage, I'll post up the data after lakeside. Unfortunately when I did sprints last (lakeside and QR) with timed laps, the car wasn't in the current modified state so I won't have much to compare against. It's the splits sectors that are the stong point.

                            I'll be very interested in having a look, Troy but you know that I'm a cheapskate who only spends money on my car when I'm forced to.

                              • The ability to pull into google maps would be nice to have. I don't believe the gtech can do that. Some of the apps have a more graphical interface to give some "wow" factor at basic observation, but not the detail that really shows anything tangible. Performancebox is the next level up on to gtech.
