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,

  • What comes first, show or go??

    Hey guys thought that this might be a bit of fun to see what people do to their cars first, show or go

    also if you guys o vote in the poll if you could leave what model/year your car is because i think it would be interesting to see the spread

    thanks guys

    Edit: if you guys can think of anything else i should add to the poll just let me know in here or by PM

    For me it was go.
    I have purchased flashy add on bits (lights, grill etc) but that was mainly to set it apart from all the others.

        Go without a doubt, so long as you add an equivalent amount of stop!

                  I hate black and white survey questions.



                  Perhaps you could ask if go and show are equal?

                  If someone has for example $10k to modify a stock car, results of your survey to date would suggest that all $10k is spent on go, whereas a lot of people may include some of that budget on wheels (which is 90% show) and lowering (which is ~50% show)

                    If you bought a VW why are you worried about GO?

                    In my opinion, handling and show over go. I wouldn't worry about go because your never going to be very fast anyway.

                          show (but not mint clean because thats impossible) if i had a fast car I bet I would have lost my license or killed myself/someone by now.
                          might look for something a with a bit of go over the next few years now i feel like I have learnt a lot more about the road/other drivers, but itll always be about the look for me

                            I think it depends on what you've got car-wise and what you think it needs more of. For me with my 77TSI with sports pack, it looks ok standard but needs a bit more go, so that's where the money's heading first. But at the end of the day, I want both right now dammit

                              i voted go.

                              that being said, i've come on a long journey since VW ownership. from now on, first mods arent going to be remapping/ intake etc, but rather:
                              - suspension (gotta have balance via heigh adjustment)
                              - tyres (gotta have grip, no point in wasting whatever torque there is)
                              - brakes

                              i'll always appreciate a nice, low, good looking car - but for my own purposes, i love flying under the radar in a car that no one notices at all.
