just thought i would post the link to the thread of my car on here and also start a new thread regarding my car and mike's car seeing as though they are going do be drag orientated and its just easier for me to keep track of and update the one thread instead of 2 (im lazy
😂). more pics will be up soon, in the mean time, heres a few pics of mine on the link below

Dude - that wheel and tire combo is PORN! I love it👍
May I ask what rim/tyre combo it is? Cheers
Reub
hey Reub, thanks man, the look i was going for.... 😂 they are actually 15x6 Brm's front and rear, but the 135's on the front stretch out onto the rim and the slicks on the back balloon out and look fat... so it turned out well me thinks 🤓

being a little silly 🤪
kyb shocks and gearbox strap
yet again another front beam, this one is a CB 2 inch narrow with step adjusters.
mattie olsen machined up these nice trick alloy spacers so that i could fit the center cap onto my BRM's
the scat tensioner pulley is rubbish so stoker machined up this one for me

Yeah, sweet as. I almost sold my Rader wheels last year to do the exact same thing to my 58 - put BRM's on it. Surely they're not 15x6's on the front though?

maybe 15x5's but all 4 of them are the same size in diameter and width..... still pretty sure they were 15x6.... hmmm... might have to look at them tonight when i head up to the workshop.

HI JUST WONDERING WHO MADE YOUR EXHAUST AND WERE DID YOU GET IT . FULL STAINLESS ??? LOOKS GREAT A1 OR CSP CHEERS AND THANKS
hi Harry, extractors were actually off the shelf.... saw them at valla at george's stand (classic veedub) so when we got back to sydney i bought them. the muffler i bought from mike from CBB performance, you should be able to get the complete kit from either of them or you could give boris from vintage veedub a call too..... yeah its polished stainless..... prick to keep clean but i just love the look they have... thinking of getting them ceramic coated... see how i go

update:
just bought a rhino case for my new gearbox and will pick up my oval-port heads with port matched manifolds from mike k tomorrow night 😁
some pics up tomorrow night of the case, heads and mikes car's progress.
poor, sore and tired but loving every minute of it😂
VW - helping put oil back into the ground for over 60 years
what the rhino case set you back? PM me if you like - bolts in the same as a beetle box? Dimensions etc??
got it from Rod Penrose, it was his last one left and it cost $360. he said he will be getting a few more in but closer to the end of the year, should be similar money, obviously just depends on exchange rate and stuff at the time. and as far as i know its all the same as a beetle box, its just made stronger with more and bigger ribs. cheers adam

Hey Adam
Have you sent your entry form in for Warwick as yet will you RUN the car up there
The car looks FAST and just the part for the drag track
😂😂 i printed the for out and filled it out 4 months ago... still havent sent it in... haahaha, definitly want to race it, its probably still far from fast as its only still a build in progress.... also its only a 1776, but im hoping it will be quicker than what people expect it to be.... ill have the goodies in it for portland though 👍😂

yeah thats the reaction im looking for
😂 ummm it runs brand new stock tp heads now and an engle 110 cam with about 9.6:1 comp....unfortunately i dont think ill be able to have it in by warwick, but will still go and have fun with this motor, lol its only got 1100miles on it and im already looking at tearing it down in search of more power.... i swear im not addicted...............................................lol

How good is the match porting of the manifolds to the heads?? If there is any offset I'd appreciate a photo.
Reub
Wheres a pic of the L/H inlet port ??? is it the same as the R/H
ummmm, i dont know which pics ur looking at dave, i posted a pic of both inlet ports which are obviously going to be the same unless ur going to be running different capacities per cylinder😂😂😂 and as for the single port pic, its of the exhaust port and again, they will all be the same. do you have different sized ports on your heads?? mike says that would explain the hoursepower your making 🤪😂🤪
