i am still thinking about that,maybe a few more sleep's will help.you got any idea's?
i was leaning towards something that is adjustable with maybe a small coilover with a sway bar biult in ,but it all seems abit heavy.
It all depends on what you have to work around on the engine.
If you go off the spring plate and top shock mount they dont stick out so far,
and unload the suspension less.(unless you have them 6ft long)
been pretty busy lately,but we had a chance to cheak the mixtures last night.
not realy worried about the power figure,but we did make 30hp more than we started with last night.
the power was down when we went out last,but it should be fun next time around.
i am tring to do some more tunning tommorrow and maybe even wack in some nos,i will keep you all posted.

Nice work westi.
An extra 30 should make 116 into 122mph.
Get off the line clean and it will be even faster!
Hey I know its been up here for a while but I've just looked a the footage. Looks unreal, I bet it would be awesome to see if you can stay on it for long enough to carry the wheels for a bit and hopefully make for a softer landing. 30Hp would help with that provided it goes straight!! Must be hard to train yourself to stay on it when you're looking at the sky though. Great to see such a nice looking car going hard down the strip.
Just wondering, where did you get the glass front from?
1954 Oval long term project going nowhere
1958 Beetle drag car project
1959 Beetle project I need to sell one day
1969 Squareback
Saw this in real life the other week and photos don't even do the car justice!
It's immaculate in every way, shape and form, and that motor is fap-tastic.
Cheers for showing us the car when we rocked up completely uninvited 😀

Hey dude, nice MPH at Warwick.
Have a look thru my post when I did my wheely bars.
Best is to attach to spring plate/shock mounts, but if you go with the sheep, keep them long(6ft +).
Actually bought nothing other than food and a couple of t shirts since I had 20kg limit on a hiking tour.
I did order my valve train stuff though.
But was lucky enough to fill my brain with a lot of ideas and info from the very generous people I visited.
that's cool dave ,so what you are saying is there is no misses butler yet.cool cool.were's the scenic pic's and breath taking scenery.
on another note. are you going to portland.no pete from what i here,and rod won't go on his own.

while cleaning the garage to get ready for porland i found my old time slip's from warwick.hahahahah.it's funny cause you should have hear'd me yelling at the apprentice.he had 2 job's,keep the time slip's .and turn on and off the oil tap for the engine.here i was thinking he had fucked both when in actual fact he only fucked up once.
poor barstard.
i will post them up with maybe some new pic's of the new and final set up.
