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,

    Don't get me wrong, the Polo was exactly what I wanted. A small, comfortable but somewhat fun hatch to get to work in. And it's done that better than anything else in its market segment.

    But balls to the wall performance car it isn't, and I still have such a soft spot for WRX's after my old WRP10.... I'm keen to get back into something with the classic boxer burble.

    • I'm not sure if noone was saying it is sacrilege that you're going to sell your Polo for a WRX, or for the fact that you were referring to the WRX as a "proper sports car", lol

        Well at least half the power goes to the *right* wheels for a sports car

        • hehe.... I'll give you "performance car", but I don't know... I just can't see a $20k sedan/hatchback with AWD and a turbo as a "sports car".
          Don't get me wrong... I wouldn't call the Golf R I've got on order a sports car either. Nor a HSV Clubsport, which has ALL the power going to the *right* wheels

          • why won't you use it?
            just test it out and if you don't think it's good, put other fluid in it...?
            or do you have other problems with DOT 5.1 :-s

            i have another kind of brake fluid also.
            a friend who does circuit races with a 106 S16 GTI uses high performance brake fluid that is used in Bikeraces.
            verry good stuff.
            but i have to look into that one also, don't know what it's called either.

              • Put on some QFM A1RM pads on the front from Greg and GSL.

                The last pads were cooked from the track day, but the new pads feel much better before they've been broken in.

                I'm surprised how much difference the pads can make to the brake feel.

                      • noone, if you're seriously interested in that ebay one might I suggest a trip to a few local exhaust shops. You can get the same (if not better) craftsmanship for less money than that going for a fully custom exhaust.

                          • Put it on the back of a flatbed Seb says probably the coil pack, engine starts and it moves, but sounds terrible and smells. Sitting down at the local auto sparky Hope they're gentle with it.
