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,

    • Installed the Ultra Racing Brace






      Impressions, well it was really hard to fit, some of the bolt holes were so big I had to make up huge washers (square of aluminium) to use instead.
      Bolt holes were in tight locations, hard to get the hands in there. Oh and it hits on the petrol tank, just a little, rubs against it.

      Driving, well where i live i park on the 3rd floor, it is quite steep and my car always creaks and grones really badly and the doors squeak (rubber on rubber). I noticed it is 70% gone now, quite amazed, so i guess it is doing its job, might invest in some of their other braces too

          No not really, cant as the front wheels rub, too much stuff in the boot too, had seats down, carring around wheels, getting stuff done, more mods, getting ready for Dubstitute. After that wheels can come off and some more practicle ones can go on, and some hard driving

                • Some new shoes. They needed to be painted and fixed up a bit. I am still to put a clear coat on top. Happy with the finish so far.

                            • Thanks mate... Nah I got the optional rims so I didn't have to change them - but it could do with some 15mm spacers on the rear and being ~3" lower

                              I'll grab some better pics on the weekend
