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,

      Look's awesome too matey.

      Don't mind the headlight's either.

      Just a clean, simple & tasteful look.

      Just need to level out some rake though. Hate rake.

      Have to say that this is a VW.

      I don't know of many people (apart from Dom) who get's hassled by the cop's.

      I put it to the test one night in my rusty mk1 when the cop's shut of the road & started going over everyone.

      My front tyres were well below the wear indicator's (meaning slick's) & I got off with a "you might want to replace the tyres there son".
      Then they proceded to do my friend over in a very, very clean V8 Torana & & they pulled him up on handbrake adjustment, washer's not working & wire's hanging down from under the dash ( they said it was a safety thing)! They also pinned him for not having a spare tyre!

      Couldn't believe it. There's no such thing. A spare tyre is only part of a RWC if it's actually in the car & has to be in RW condition.

      If it's not, then it doesn't matter.

            Well I've lowered my fair share of VW's incl. my own & some of them nearly had the driveshaft's rubbing on the body & none of them have ever been hassled.

              Sweet cant wait to have a tough looking ride that isnt a cop magnet, past 3 cars have attracted nothing but attention from the boys in blue and im a pretty sedate driver.

                I agree. My car isn't low in respect to wheel gap but it's at a respectably low stance, my wheels poke out, dim indicators (why I was pulled over in the first place; they didn't see them at first and thought I didn't use them), and missing a passenger seat (had cat piss on them so they were getting cleaned) but I only got breathalysed and waived off, while my mate in his Civic gets done for no H-pattern on his gearknob (which I don't have either)... Yeah, it's a fair world
                Past: Mk3 Golf 2L 8V, Audi 8L A3T.
                Present: Mk3 Golf variant.

                  Rake isn't so bad since I have re adjusted the coils, although I think the VR6 have a bit of nartural rake look because of the low front lip and higher rear end.

                  As for under the radar... so far so good, although with my exhaust I really short shift when I see one of the boys in blue... safer that way really

                  If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                            You turn around and go the other way.
