I would like to either sell or give away my circuit car that I built 3 years ago . This is based on a low mileage non rusted L bug that was stored for about 20 years .
It is painted yellow tinter , has Lexan windows all round , V force race strut package , strut brace , Willwood 4 piston callipers on all 4 corners , cross drilled ford patterned disc's , Kombi master cylinder , 12 litre fuel cell , Holley blue pump , -6 braided fuel lines , braided brake lines throughout , , hyd. park loc and Willwood bias valve , Bilstein rear shocks , cro-moly kafer bar , 26 mm long bars , adj. spring plates , Jay Cee billet retainers , SAW axles and Porsche 930 CV set-up , aluminium bumper brackets , Carbon/Kevlar bumpers and headlights , Aero guards , NACA ducts with hose , 96 plate oil cooler and fan , Autometer memory tacho , VDO oil temp / oil pressure and cyl head gauges and senders , MSD ignition box , 8 x 17 x 7 rims with 8 x Yokohama race tyres , all 80% + tread .
The car has done approx. 3 1/2 hrs. of work since it was built . There are also some spares that are not listed .
I would like $ 8000 for the complete roller that is located in Wollongong NSW .
I also have 4 different complete race trans here all with LSD's that can be fitted to the car . I also have a selection of engines here that will suit from 165 HP and up that can be purchased with the car .
I would ultimately like to sell the car , or I could give it to someone that would use it and get some enjoyment out of it .
The car weighs 749 kg's in circuit trim and has gone 1.16 around Wakefield park raceway , and weighs 714 KG's in drag racing trim with different wheels and has gone 10.7 @ 132 mph in Sydney ,
More boost + More fuel = More power

No vw track cars in far north QLD here in Townsville no drag track just a sprint series so this car would be awesome for our vw club here Ill put my hand up for it
I can’t believe you're at it again Rod, your generosity precedes you!
Would look pretty sweet zipping around Willowbank, Strip, Dirt and Track 😉 Haha, just a shame it would have nowhere to live because my sheds already full 🙁😂
I don't know if I'm reading the post incorreclty or am getting out of line but hope that someone will buy the car from Rod as he first states in post.
Rod has done so much for so many and I just hope he gets the money .
I hope i havent upset anyone , especially Rod .
My first car way back when was a 66 bug and lately I have been getting a little nostalgic and wanting to get back into the DUB scene.
I have been reading up everything I can get my hands on and watching everything I can over the last couple of weeks to just see what is out there, and your name comes up quite a bit in the Aussie VW community.
This would be a great little bug to run at the strips down here in Vic. especially with one of your power plants to compliment it. Not saying I deserve a car of this calibre but ........... if it was on offer and needed a nice warm garage to sleep in then I would be more than willing to make some room next to the Tiguan.
By the way what engine/trans setup were you running when you ran the sub 11sec in this DUB???
