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.

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,

    Sydney Drags (June 29)

    Details here: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...9th-86244.html

    And Here: Volkswagen Magazine Australia. © 2013

    I've not done a drag before, after Jason started the 1/4 mile thread, wanted a go.

    Anyone else up for some Polo Draggin' Fun?

    Going to spruke the 6R guys as well, see if we can get a few Polo's there (and show them who's boss)

            Mate, I'd love to race but I can't see my car ready to drag in four weeks. I won't pick it up till
            next week then have to run the motor in and sort out the tune. I'll come and watch though.

            Don't underestimate your car either. Getting a clean start makes all the difference in a FWD. Having to much power can be a
            detriment if you can't get it down. Plus you've got to prove Gavin's tuning capabilities.

              Ben, trick is riding the clutch at abit over 2grand and slipping against the handbrake, hence why much nicer on an after marketclutch

                    My tip is to not rev the ringer out of it, I believe Jason's times and approach supports this.

                    Ideal shift points from data recording on my car.
                    2nd gear - 90-95km/h (2nd n 3rd have a large over lap so isn't so sensitive)
                    3rd gear - 138km/h

                    At those shift points the revs come back to 4k and provide max torque and forward motion.

                    Daily: 2010 VW Jetta Highline
                    Gone but not forgotten: 08 Polo GTI
