Stanley's car....1 1/4" Tranny raise 28Jun14

Stanley · 2008-05-05T09:37:43+00:00

Thought this might be better here than in members rides. Since the decommissioning of my white '70 beetle that I used to drive/race with the turbo, this is what now has all my attention. Although I’m not going to post it as a build up, it's passed the point of no return so I’ll just post the odd progress pic. It's nothing that hasn't been done before. It's a '60 Aussie built beetle and plans are to make it for the track only and as such has had all non essential stuff removed including all the window mechanisms and side glass which is now lexan. It will still be built under the TAT scope but I will spend money where it is needed particularly in making it safe. I have so far replaced the MC all the wheel cylinders, new brake shoes all drums machined amd all new wheel bearings. New g'box is in progress with Dangerous Dave and I will mount the old 100 ci turbo to it. Colour scheme at this stage will be satin black with silver flashes to match the aluminium panels at this stage. This what it started as a couple of months ago. May look familiar to some. I think I may have posted some pics earlier. Stripped and ready for the games to begin. Upgraded to a duel circuit MC. Have run a new line from front to rear. Front g'box mount was broken so decided after some advice, to fab an intermediate mount. Thanks Dave. Also now has a removeable apron and have done away with the wings between firewall and inner guard. Couple of pics of the new dash. Inside is plain and simple in satin black and aluminium rear panels and door cards. These are the wheels I recently purcahesed. May also look familiar to some.

Case, crank and flywheel expertly machined by Mr DB.
Check the weight removal of the crank in particular.

But why

Thanks for the vid Barry....👍

Frosty's a tough racer. He went on to win the bracket.
No secrets. With DB's assistance I'm trying to get a 1916 NA motor ready for Jamboree this year.
DB has worked some magic on the case, crank and heads. I'm just gathering a few more parts in the interim.
This is a side project to the turbo and is keeping with staying under 2ltr.
He's a bad influence Daimo. Or good depending on how you look at it.

1915cc is all I build, not 1916.
Wont be a mega screamer, 7000 will likely be the limit.

Technically correct 1915.38cc (using Pi as 3.14159265358979 as used in excel)

but I think the norm rightly or wrongly is to round up.....🤓

haha, yeah nothing exciting with the heads Marcus,
they are just some old VW heads I traded in on a job.
very small port with 42 inlet, 36 exhaust.
I would have to look up the flow figures, but apparently had about 110 at the wheels on a larger engine.

Thanks for sharing, Dave/Andrew

Sounds like good power across the range with that setup.

If I only had 5.38",I would definately round up to at least 7 inches.

Is it round up time again already?........I'll just grab my saddle & spurs.

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
