Now better learn to change gears before the rev limiter says so and put in a good shifter.

Hi
Good stuff, I bet the didn't expect a Type 3 to run those sort of numbers.

That's cookin'!
You now will have to go back again to see what improvements you can make,
and again...and again!

I think the EJ20T has a lot to do with it

Thanks guys.
Dave who said this wasnt addictive? My goal was actually 12.9 but I really didnt think I could do it, so Im wrapped :blush but here I am driving home thinking OK what do I need to do to get it as a consistant low 12sec car. I wont learn:P
A slightest bit of cred would have been nice. If it was a beetle recognisable to the world then the guys on the microphone may have stopped yawning but then Im sure they would have come out with some German wise cracks............oh well what can you do when they live and breath 8 cylinders?

yeah got to agree they only know V8s n jap cars and then when its a VW they put shit on them fuc ing hopeless
good work to get the time down hows the gearbox holding up are you using a stock box ???

I'd say with some better launches you will loose perhaps half a second.
Perhaps some of those MT Drag radials?

Well done.
I've bumped a few people that know of your car and all the work you've put into it. Sure you've put another engine in it but I bet there's a serious amount of work getting the rest of the car up to speed and making it reliable and steetable.
I'm glad to hear the hard yakka is paying off.
A 12 second type 3, what a crack-up.

How was traction? Raising the rear of your car a little will help with grip, I reckon 😉

No more stock box. Nothing over the top, Albins 1st and 2nd, course tooth kombi 3rd and 4th, super diff, heavy duty side plate and a usual good rebuild....................fingers crossed. In drag circles Im a real pussy off the line, thus the 60' time. I like the thought of still be able to drive home!
Glenn, traction was no problem at all, slammed 2nd, squatted down and kept pushing forward :P

in my experience, the only things that get any attention out there have chevs in em.
the cars that make me yawn the most are the stock HSV dunnydores. It's like, "look I can do a burnout with 18inch rims and 50pnds of tyre pressure!"
