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,

  • Old R33 Skyline and slightly newer Scirocco R

    My two toys.

    R33 Skyline with RB25/30DET (DOHC 3.0L turbo six) with everything. All the original bits replaced with upgraded bits or new OEM. Lots of power, good brakes, suspension, fancy forged ADVAN wheels, Yokohama AO50 semi-slicks, Nismo GT-Pro diff', IQ3 dash (about to be replaced by a Motec C125) 900ish HP

    2013 Scirocco R with Stage 2+ and a few extra bits here and there. Shod with Nankang AR1 semi-slicks to /make the most of the extra go.

      Thanks guile. I have used a large range of semi slicks over the years on both my daily and toys and there is no doubt the AR1 is one of the noisiest, if not the noisiest. I'm used to it now and the sound deadening muffles most of it. I had NS2Rs in the 120TW option on my old RS Meg and they weren't as noisy, not the same grip though.
