I was all planned to keep car loaded on trailer from TnT but after putting a kit through the Holley I decided to add a winch and strengthen draw bar of trailer for the trek to Sydney.
What sort of winch did you fit?
Reason I ask, I have just managed to break the second winch, only been used handful of times, cheap chinese gear,
Hey barry, get a JARRET winch!!! I sell them. Ill get a good price for you tomorrow if you like
Mines a top quality Supercheap winch. Will be used for tie down more than winching. Cant swing the handle.
I wondered how you swung the handle!
Ben, that'd be great.
I'll use a ratchet if needed. Or i'll shorten the handle.

We will be using my 4000rpm converter and the 1800 (4.36) crownwheel and pinion, which should see 7422rpm in top gear
@120mph.
It may go a bit faster, but still old tune at 12psi
Time is getting away. We still haven't looked at becs type 3, and I still have 3 auto transmissions to build to get $$ to get down to syd
🤪🤪
Have been doing big hours but still might have to step it up a little.

Ben, i'm interested
well only 13 days to go and still waiting on a clutch, slicks and front runners that are coming from US should be ready to pick up Mon or Tue
well only 13 days to go and Team WPVW still have a lot of prep to do , but as usual we will be working on cars the night before the event to ensure that they perform well.
Deans 69' beetle has had a new turbo system fabricated for the 2733ml type-4 engine and nearing completion . We fired his bug on Thursday afternoon and it sounds great !! We are just waiting on the new methanol Holley to arrive from US , then we can dyno his bug . Cant wait to see Dean break into the 10's with his street bug .
The WPVW sports sedan is being driven this year by Andrew Makin from QLD . Tomorrow night the engine comes out of the blue car & heads off for inspection . It has been running really strong but I noticed in recent video footage that it is blowing some exhaust smoke at the start line and may have worn valve guides , better to check them now before something fails so that Andrew can have a great day behind the wheel .
Chris Boltons 67' turbo bug is getting another set of bigger heads , a new larger diameter turbo header , a larger intake manifold system and a little more boost . Cant wait to see Chris' bug go hard and break into the 9's .
My Turbo Oval wont be ready for this event unfortunately . The 24 new Racewear headstuds have arrived , the new RLR rev-6 dual clutch assembly has arrived , the new alloy lite-weight rear disc brake kit has arrived & another engine case has started work on but will not be ready in time for this event . So the oval will sit while I get the other cars ready to race .
Ben Ford will not be racing as he is attending a wedding for a mate of his as 'best man' . Ben did offer me his supercharged drag bug for the event but I have declined the offer , to assist other Team members with their cars .
Looking forward to another great event @ WSID 👍👍👍👍

Spewin dude!
Have been thinking about it for the last few weeks and made the decision to come on down for the day in the "Rat Racer" , if nothing else it'll be 3 days of laughs and fun , most of it with some ear plugs jambed in to try and cut down the noise of the strapped in driveline of the rat .
Have also as of yesterday score another brave sole for the run down and back , Paul from Steelart Creations AKA "Manxiberty " on most forums
Our plan is to leave Bris approx 2pm Fri Arvo and drive straight through with a few stops along the way to stretch our legs and recover from the drivers race seat .
See you all there .
Oh and no i'mm not racing the Rat as i need to be able to drive it home Sun , lame excuse i know but i know if i get it out on the track , i'mm gunna drive it hard and that might not end so well
Andrew
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel
Why don't you come grab my trailer and tow it down and race!
Thanks for the offer Mick , but my current gearbox would not stand up to any decent sort of a start , plus i am keen to do a bit of spectating for a change and just hang out as opposed to being busy with the car all day and not seeing much at all .
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel
the Nude Bug is ready to race, might just adjust the boost😉
you better still dressup Andrew!!!!!
