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 rotated my wheels. I'm very impressed by the tread wear rate I'm getting out of these tyres...The Conties have nothing on these, and I would have had to replace them 10,000km ago.

          I've found the ride is only slightly stiffer than stock, so still very comfortable.

          However its definitely more 'jiggly' than stock. But that is a result of keeping the stock shocks. Its not too bad, but definitely noticeable from the drivers perspective.

          The springs combined with shortened shocks would be an unbeatable package of ride and looks.

              Define 'jiggly' -- I'm looking at putting in some H&Rs purely for looks and comfort, so if you mean jiggly as the car rocking back and forth when braking hard or bouncy over a bumpy road, then I can deal with that. But if cornering is worse and it loses traction with the road then that's not so good.

                Its not how what you just described. The car sits flatter through the corners. The ride just seems a little more bouncy but its hard to describe.

                • when you see a car driving dumped on rock hard coilover's, you will notice that it bounces around the road over every bump, just short little bounces.....that's jiggly.

                  so 'a little more jiggly' would just be that the suspension is stiffer and the shorter travel in the shocks makes it seem bouncier....but by the sounds of it not enough to make you bring back up your lunch 200 metres down the road.

                  • Dynamometer again!

                    The curve is much cleaner. The power distribution is very good.

                    The blue curve is the old pass, the red curve is the new one.

                    • More upgrades..

                      Finally the fuel gauge arrives.

                      Moroso's breather valve, it only opens with positive pressure inside the engine. All the good stuff that should come from the engine, instead it goes to the TIP, it is going to the exhaust.

                      Wheels being prepared to be painted.

                                I was going to say "thats a different dash to mine" as well! Climate control ey.

                                Is that what that pipe weldedto the exhaust is?

                                The rims look the goods too.
