my best so far is a 16.2
I'm hoping to get into the 15's once I get a couple of issues sorted.
even a 15.99 I'll be happy with.

vwtyp2 · 27 Apr 2005, 9:18 am

some days I think about not selling it and putting on the supercharger kit from Castlemaine Rod Shop.

Turbo type 4.

BUS 23Q · 1 May 2005, 3:55 pm

any buses racen at the nationals ....and my best was a 15.4

amazer · 22 May 2005, 9:33 pm

Baaaah humbug. Using all those other engines is cheating.
Back in the times when I did the 14's there wasnt a VW powered (street) bus doing anything like that. VW trends or hot vws did a story on it. The quickest in the US was only 16 seconds or something. A lot slower.

speedster356 · 22 May 2005, 9:41 pm

Yeah I heard about that old guy Chris and his camper........😉

crewcabconnection · 22 May 2005, 10:40 pm

Indian's has to be in the running. I 'borrowed' it for a run out the other week. It's a 3.8V6 Supercharged, with extras (hes not telling). Not that I'm up on 'hot cars', but can only be described as having your own pet gorilla with a set of blue balls. It's a scary fast, and it corners, stops and handles like it's on the 'rails' as they say. Massive amounts of low down grunt, and more than enough go in any gear you like.

coxy007 · 23 May 2005, 6:53 pm

My dual cab does 16sec hopefully faster soon. Kombi and v8 best of both worlds

wacked1 · 24 May 2005, 10:35 am

coxy007
tell us more son

coxy007 · 24 May 2005, 9:03 pm

My daul cab is the grey one with the 4L alloy v8 thats lifted with 33 &1/2 inch wheels on the back. I sold my old blue 2L dual cab to buy this little beauty. All i done to it is put uni chip and k & n filter and she flies. I am on to my second gearbox though.

wacked1 · 26 May 2005, 6:08 pm

coxy007 any pics?????

h · 26 May 2005, 6:21 pm

about 1988 I met an old bloke who had a camper with a 3.o litre 911 carera motor and box he didnt know much about it he told me he got sick of getting passed up hills so he took it to his mechanic and asked him to fix it and he did!!! (rich bastard)
I wonder where it is today
