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,

              • Is it just me or does the back look too low.

                • What do you mean by too low?

                  I think it looks pretty level so it's fine to me!

                    I think the rear arch has had some work done to it. but i understand what you mean.

                    • guys! orite let me get things straight....

                      ALL mk1's have different sized arches from front to rear, the front ones are shaped with a bigger opening and its also higher up the guard, the rear arch sits lower to the ground... my car is dead even height from front to back and the rear wheels tuck in the guards more than the fronts.....

                      the rear aches also look bigger because it doesnt have the plastic splats on them..

                      • If you look carefully, a lot of cars are designed like that, not just mk1 golfs.

                        • thats correct... its to compensate for the front wheels turning left and right...

                              Yeah you're correct. Original:





                              How I'd have it:






                              I also was inspired today on a job.... Customer had a 1966 Toyota Crown station wagon in which he'd installed a new Lexus V8, LSD, Mags, disc brakes, lowered with mags and looking rat and retro as hell. Was a hell of an engineering job. Looked awesome!

                                That photo being crooked (or slope of the driveway) doesn't help.

                                I realize the arches are different front and back but like to have the same gap. A slight bit of rake wouldn't be too bad either as it just looks like it's dragging it's ar$e. Also is the gap even on the factory setup?

                                Nice car and absolute classic.
