I'm not sure, I think it does. Just trailer it out and slap some plates on it. This is something I would never do mind you.:thumb😀
You have to get out there early I hear because of all the Mud Mazdas that get out there. That's sick maaaate.

Sorry Pete I'm out, can't make this one unfortunately I have exams.

I've included a pic though of my car reset off the bump stops, hoping for better traction and weight trasfer. Dunno how i drove around for 6 years on the stops, rides so nice now though!!!!!!

Maybe the next one!

I'm leaving Botany about 3PM, not sure of the layout at Eastern Creek. I think there is a Bug from Flat Four going out. Chris with the FI 2100. Scutineering is from 3-6:30.
Leigh, that must make quite a difference now that you have some travel in the rear!

Leigh, your engine lid is open. I reckon you should lose it all together. Your car would make a nice baja.

Hi Peter L

I was at Eastern Creek on the really windy Sunday a few weeks ago, the passenger in the 914 Porsche next to me got out and his door got caught in the wind and just hit my rear 1/4 :cussing

Hi,

Nope not mine. There's another phantom getting around that I keep hearing about. Guys at work ring me on my mobile telling me I should be at work on a weekday and not cruising around in my car. Everytime they ring I'm at my work desk!!!

Chris, yes I've often thought of turning it into a Baja Bug, but it would stand out too much! I like the stealth look.

Pete you'll love it, hooks up with ease now.

Cheers Leigh

They did a bit better with mid to high 14's

Man there were some fast cars there.

Hey Baz, what were the engine specs of the 2 beetles? & what was Pete in? the 1916 speedster or the subaru spyda?

Congratulations to Ben Durie for breaking the hillclimb record at Ringwood in his stroker beetle!

Was a great night, had lots of fun.
The last run I did I had moved my seat prior, as I launched at the lights the seat slid back and I neally disapeared into the back seat!
Next time I'm going to tune the car. The webers are as they came out of the box from new and need some jetting.
As they say at Eastern Creek......."that's fully sick maaaate"
