Auto oval !!! umm i think as KAi stated you carn't see the accel peddle, roller style just like moi's oval !!!
*did* 路
Hmm, yeah on closer inspection i think i can see it just behind the brake pedal.
But don't just think 'hey its an oval, it cant be auto'... they did change the engine.

wow! insanely good job on the custom interior!

wat u cant see is a detailed billet roller ball pedal behind the brake pedal. all the knobs are billet too for the power windows, central locking etc, heater etc. all made by the owner on his lathe. the engine was sourced from NZ im pretty sure, out of a sand rail maybe? all i know is that its gots some serious power.
did i mention this is a daily driver?

just to clarify, i took those pics before he went fuel injected, i think the carbies were being starved by the porsche fan or sumthing, and yes the car is comprehensively insured and for a fair amount of $$ too.

Hi vw0064
No need to get upset about it, its a NSW RTA rule, stock factory weight X 3 for a NA motor or stock factory weight X 2.5 for a forced induction motors. Maybe theres a loophole he snuck through? If there is Id like to know about it.

Hope the bloke who's car it is wasn't thinking of joining Aussieveedubbers !
All the negativity would put you off !
I for one like tha car and think he's done a great job.
Street rego'd with that engine in it ! Good for him. If he has managed to do it and others have got stuck no need to be bitter. Should be supportive not just shoot him down !
He might just be able to help others if he found ways round / loop holes in things !
They did it themselves.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I am told that a small white lie has been told to RTA and the insurance co.
They said it was a std 1.7 Kombi motor.
Not jealous of a posers car at all.
Just stating the facts, These rules were made by the RTA to stop the Brads and Wesleys of this world doing stupid conversions.
I personally hope someone sticks Yellow stickers all over it cause it is not safe aqnd I don't want my Daughters to ride in back yarder covered up and lied about cars.:repuke:repuke
Also 64 if it is not legal should u be talking about it here ??
These guys are typical uninformed hot rodders gone silly, u would think his dad would be worried bout the boy in a highly illegal car, if he hits any one i know I will ppersonally see the bastards locked up..

I think someone has been telling you little white lies about this car.
Ok people
please only nice responses to this thread.
I'm sick of reading the insults on this car.
Yeah it may have been done mostly in the back yard but it has had more money spent on it than a lot of people make a year, just to make it handle well and to make it safe.
So if you guys have nothing good to say about something,
Don't say it at all. People don't wanna here it.
And Jakjones.
What are you afraid of mate.
i cant see any location or any sort of info in your profile.
Is this what you get upto all day long.
Sit behind a computer screen and bag the shit out of people.
If your in newcastle mate make a time and date and come out from behind that screen and meet us.
we might even show you exactly what the engineers says and what the insurance papers.

Looks a hell of alot better built and safer than all the new POS HSV's and FPV's that we see everyday. :kiss

Hi guys,
This is my first day on the forum and the hostility is a little out of character for people who are all supposed to share and assist each other with our passion....or am I wrong.
I reckon its a great car and I thought ALL VW's were registered with 1600 type 1 motors or 1800 type 4 engines, atleast thats what their rego says.

I have engineering and design papers for all modification I have done so does Wes... I just don't release them so clowns like you can't copy my work as a crap standard and kill yourself. Now can I see your papers for being a tosser ??? Nope oh well you had better stop then ...
Back to thread...
Cool car and I must apoligize for the mixed hostitality some people on here are just very jealous due to their inability to build anything legal themselves.
Cam 路
You're right Brad, it's all jealousy. I can't believe a car like this has been met with such crap comments it's awful. You would think these people would act like adults and not use the internet as a form of hiding their own insecurities and lack of achievements.

what i wouldnt give to have a 2.8 in any of my vw's.
hmmmmmm 2.8 in my dcab, i can see it now. i will need to talk to youse boys soon,i reackon.
dont take the response bad. it is easy to read a post wrong, and have it all get out of shape. i am sure that they jsut all want to know how, so they can do it.
funny too. the older you get, or the parent you become usually means you lose your independant right to live a free, serve yourself well life. then you lose the spirit and suffer entropy.
me i dont count b'days. bring on the good bad and the down right insane.

This car is past nice, its unreal. Its damn near exactly the car I'd build if (or when?) I had the money and skills.
Anyone that is surprised or disbelieves the fact this car is regoe'd and engineered and insured obviously just doesnt have a lot of experience in the area. Its far less wild than say Wesleys Baja, and that is just comparing it to cars on this forum. There are some absolutely insane sounding cars out there with full engineering, rego and insurance.
For example, late 70's corolla with a 12A turbo rotary and about 500hp - rego, licence and insurance no worries (Its the flagship of Mr Enforcer engineering). All because the car is built right.
There is a 75 1303 in Perth here with a 2.1 wasserboxer conversion complete with Wolf 3D injection and an eaton supercharger, big brakes conversion (discs all round), 17" rims etc etc. All legal and engineered.
So to see a naturally aspirated 1.8 in an oval does not suprise me at all.
Well done.

The answer to that one is "simple". All of the air cooled VW Forums both here and overseas seem to attract a handfull of Fuckwits who make an artform out of being obnoxious.Wake up and show some respect towards the members who post the story of their own or a friends car, and you may be able to learn something you can use in the future if you have enough brains to be able to put together a car of your own.So prove to us all how clever you are by keeping you mouths shut?????
