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,

    They're ProRace 1.2S or 1.5 wheels (they're called 1.2S on the TD website but the boxes have 1.5 on them) with 38mm offset and a 73mm centerbore - the wheels came with a fitting kit of 4 57.1-73mm plastic hubrings and 20 M14x1.5x28mm tuner bolts. The tyres are the195/55R15 Yokohama Advan A048 semi-slicks that I've been running (and killing ) for the last 4 track days. Once these have gone hard, I'll get 205/50R15 semi-slicks fitted for a bit more grip.

    I haven't fitted them as yet but may do for a cruise before Sandown to break in the latest replacement (or I may run 3 of the Conti Premium Contacts with just one Advan).

    No probs, Scotty. Troy, Paul & I will be at Sandown on the 15th of April.
    I won't need the spacers, though - I didn't end up getting the 45mm offset wheels so they'll be fine as is.

    I'm pretty stumped as to how it could have happened really
    Possibly one of those tiny white stones used to mark the road divisions somehow got into the pad groove?

    • Finally, after more than a year, I got around to painting my Cup Edition bumper. Here's a quick sneak peak whilst the bumper is being flatted.

          • Walked out the front door to find that my father had decided to nudge my car with his Subaru Outback.

            I've now got a 12 inch rub mark down the side of my driver side rear quarter panel (just behind the door) that i'll have to cut and polish out.

            Not impressed

            Right about..............................here↓

              ouch, that's a bit of a bummer - i hope it's just superficial/ surface/ on-top-of-clearcoat kind of stuff, and that it's easy to get out.

              • New dogbone mount got installed.

                While that was being done, however, I took an RS6 for a spin.

                Farqing hell.

                I need a TTV8 in my life.

                Oh, the new mount is good too.

                              • Fitted some LED headlights during the week, and drove in the dark with them for the first time last night... I'll be changing back to the normal globes ASAP... Does anyone out there with LED headlights recommend a set that are brighter than the stok globes, as the ones I bought just don't have the brightness.
