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,

    Ill pop some pics up later.

    I may own one or two of these...

    The biggest problem i have found is breaking rear beams and replacing wheels.

    The importer of them will sell you stuff direct if you know the right guy. PM me I have his details and know the fmaily well.

        wow a mate and i stumbled across the fun to be had on these things a few years ago.. sooo much fun.
        and target have them for sale at the moment at their toy sale for $79 i think. dont confuse it with the ones with rollerblade wheels on the back though.
        heres a video we made in 06.. spin it up!! (poor quality)



        this was the video i stumbled across that inspired us..



        p.s drill the rear wheels and fill with space invader..

          Exactly. I would lose interest so fast!
          They look kinda awkward too. I think i have some lowrider bike parts lying around that could work to strangely enough make one more ergonomic.

            Kmart sell replacement wheels for like $10 each (apparently). And yes things will p[robably break...but for "cheap" good fun and some customising who cares....will PM

              I've got a Kart seat at the workshop i'd probably put on it. But that might make it a bit less manuverable..

              That is of course, if i got one..

                I've bought one but my left wheel split in two when my mate was riding it in my garage. I'm on the hunt for some Green Machine wheels.

                            Picked up the slider today. It's mostly built save for some fine tuning. Will try and gets pics tomorrow in the daylight. Will probably have it's first outing on Saturday night.

                            For those that are interested...

                              Hope you ride in a more appropriate environment than the idiots in your "Big Wheel - Mad Dog Cycles" video. Yanks who spent 1/2 of the time across double lines on the wrong side of an open road - the lead idiot goes very close to getting wiped out by the dual cab at 30 secs in.
