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,

          its pretty much just the standard 1600 and four speed box, motors got 150,000 original Km's and made 41kw at the wheels when it was out of tune and running fairly bad.

          mainly just fixing and replacing things on it at this stage instead of really modifiying it. had the carby rebuilt, fully tuned, rust profesionaly removed, drums rebuilt, new disks, calipers, lines, and thousands of little bits and peices.

          has electronic ignintion, pod filter, oil catch can, cannon muffler and a few other bits and pieces, lowered, GTI front lip, clear indicators and new school wipers, big stereo, sparco knob, sparco pedals, tacho and shift light.

          wouldn't mind getting some decent wheels for it and maybe a few more engine mods so if anyone can help me out that would be awsome.

                        lol, and the big old shift light tacho seems overkill when you have stock one right in front of you?

                          c'mon man...

                          i just put extractors and 2.25 inch all the way back on my standard 1600 and its got a bit more go, more low rpm torque than standard.

                          a full exhaust is an investment, because you can keep all or most of it with other engines/mods etc.

                          nice golf. love the look, i'm glad someone here appreciates mexico beige and the clean look.

                          i don't often say this, but some taseful chrome wheels would look sweet on your ls mate, or even better, chromes and widened steelies are the stuff.

                          not a fan of the dash ornaments, but hey, its your car
