Nice one Dave - you don't miss an opportunity to show of those "model-like hands" do ya! 😉
Mmmm roller camshaft Dave, very nice what followers you going to run, is this for the Pauter? And yeah nice model hands too love the dirty fingernails.:P Cheers Damo.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

Hi Mike,
Yeah, there is about 100 bags of cement right there!
Hi Damo,
the lifters will be the same Pauter ones that I have been using. Light weight and super durable.
This cam is about half way between the two that I have tried so far.
I have made my own camshaft blanks twice before,
but the hassle of having it heat treated and ground before and after(cam guy is now in Sydney),
plus the 8 hours on the lathe and mill was not worth it.
This profile is a proven entity as far as stability, so I bit the bullet.
Damn those model hands! They are a curse!

Hope it gets you down the quarter faster Dave.
Good Luck😵💫
If you drive an early aircooled volkswagen be proud of it and have it powered by an aircooled engine!
Thanks Jason,
Next step will be to send it down to Surecam in Sydney to have the profile checked
in case there are any harmonic or grind-quality issues.
But I will still try the engine with the old cam and all those other changes first.

Nice I can't wait to see it in action again its been awhile for me. So how much is a tenth of a second costing you these days Dave? I don't think I want to know or it might scare me off drag racing for good!
Again Good Luck + lets hope it does bring you a couple of tenths👍

Dave ,those hands look older then, you do from your driver profile on Sports Compact web site.:P
What do you think about changing this post to What Santa Brung everyone for Christmas !
I have new axles for my yellow car (Thanks Rod Penrose)
Ooo...Oohhh...pass the tissues!

what is the black coating on the axles,black oxiide? Santa was real good to me too,She bought me front disc brakes for my car,guess what I'm doing this weekend,hahahah Mike
What kind of brakes Mike?
Can you adapt them to your spindle mounts?
Cool pressy, Santa , she's pretty cool!

I don't have pics but Santa delivered two new Berg RHD 12in shifters to me today - very happy - just in time for chrissy!
I was not concerned about weight on the front end,actually needed a few more lbs ballast,so went with late model type three discs. Kieth and I talked about adapting rotors to mount to the spindles,have seen them done, but with the stock discs I can get parts anywhere, custom fabbed ones are a pain if you need replacements. Besides,found the whole deal on EBAY for 136.00,all new!!!!! I already bought the drop spindles,so here I go. Merry xmas to you all , Mike

Hey Nick,
Was that Turbo or Gas,
Or was it
Turbo and Gas?
What's the deal with posting photos. Can't seem to get mine to attach.
:cry
The photos need to be reduced in size, (I find 450 by 338 pixels to be good)
or hosted on a site like photobucket and linked.
You can send them to my email if you want, but try to reduce the size a bit?
