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,

    Seems much more planted in a straight line, but I haven't given it any stick yet. I guess we'll find out!

    The alignment started with terribly uneven camber, so it all helps.

    • Finally got around to 'de-yellowing' the Polo - removed the last of the vinyl wrap and gave the car a good clean & polish.

      I have to say I quite like the car with the black-on-black look but I discovered that the vinyl had hidden a heap of small dings, dents and battle scars from numerous off-circuit excursions and one large kangaroo. As a result I'll probably end up re-wrapping the car once I figure out what colour to do next.

          Thanks - I didn't mind the yellow myself but it was chosen as a company colour rather than for aesthetic reasons.

          Black is nice but a little boring - I don't know what the next wrap will be as yet but it definately won't be a standard VW colour. Suggestions?

                  The yellow was pretty full on.
                  I say go with a chrome colour wrap like below:

                        I did have a spare when the wheels arrived - I'll have to try to find it when I get home. I'll send you a PM if it turns up.

                        • this was last night...

                          coming off alexandra pd onto the eastern (big S-bend, i like to hit it pretty hard), heard lots of grumbling from two cars coming off hoddle street, around the two big corners, onto the eastern, outbound.

                          turns out that i had stumbled upon a fight that was taking place between a bmw x6m and a c63 amg...

                          the two of them, obviously thinking that they're invincible, took their fight into the right hand lanes, right in front of me.

                          corner speed. momentum. pass. both drivers looking a bit sh7tted off when they see that it's a nondescript polo on small wheels with no exhaust note. you can fill in the gaps.

                          everyone in this section already knows this, but god, these little polos are capable when they want to be.

                          2.
                          1.

                          aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand back to thinking that polos are incapable crap, based on on-paper numbers.....

                          • Wheel alignment yesterday, Pirelli's fitted today. For a tyre with a treadwear of 400, they're pretty grippy! Nice and quiet, too, which I'm thankful for. Seem to have a bit more 'bag' than the Bridgestone of the same size.

                            Guards now rub a little
