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,

    Nah wasn't me, I wish!

      In '76, I was driving through this bunch of tight ywisting turns whist chatting with a friend and just happened to glance at the speedo and I was taking the turns at 50mpg (80kmh). It was a Lamborghini Muira SV.

        My old Golf GTI G60 with the factory suspension. The best compromise in suspension ever, ruined by me, in pursuit of the unattainable. I should have just replaced the shocks.

          Or you could have gone with a good quality street performance coilover.. there are a lot that ride similar to stock with increased handling..

            I did all that and more and just turned it into a car you wouldn't want to drive everyday.

            The factory suspension did everything just right, seriously you couldn't have made it better without sacrificing something.

            I have driven enough VW group cars since 1990, to know when I have been in a good one.

              Driven a 2009 M3 a few times which is awesome. Getting back into my GTI feels like an old Laser Ghia!!

                My RS2000 Ford Escort Memories only now, one I should of kept

                My SLK Merc was pretty good but could bite at times, best currently is my R32

                Very hard to really compare them I suppose, you forget the bad and never have them together to compare all at once

                  Surely those wouldnt handle as well as any new GTI?

                  You should have kept all the flannelette shirts as well
                  (Just kidding, they look fairly unique & tough, was expecting a torana or something).

                    My Fiat 1100D Riviera was the most neutral and chuckable car I ever had. Michelin X tyres on 14" wheels - the wheels had to be 14s to fit over the massive finned alloy brake drums, truly fantastic in their day. The car lacked power, but you never needed to use those brilliant brakes for most corners, just keep it floored and turn. The body lean was a bit alarming until you got used to it, and knew it would just hang on and on. Wet or dry.

                    It was fantastic for the drive-in as well. Seats folded flat so you could sit against the back seet with heaps of room for anything....

                          Too many zero's there to be a group B car But a cool car nonetheless !!

                                Whilst my GTI is so much better inside and engineering and quality is fantastic for money, my old 04 STi was an amazing car, so much grip and power I notice now how good that thing was in the wet, but it's interior was so far behind GTI.
