Stanley's car....1 1/4" Tranny raise 28Jun14

Thought this might be better here than in members rides. Since the decommissioning of my white '70 beetle that I used to drive/race with the turbo, this is what now has all my attention. Although I’m not going to post it as a build up, it's passed the point of no return so I’ll just post the odd progress pic. It's nothing that hasn't been done before. It's a '60 Aussie built beetle and plans are to make it for the track only and as such has had all non essential stuff removed including all the window mechanisms and side glass which is now lexan. It will still be built under the TAT scope but I will spend money where it is needed particularly in making it safe. I have so far replaced the MC all the wheel cylinders, new brake shoes all drums machined amd all new wheel bearings. New g'box is in progress with Dangerous Dave and I will mount the old 100 ci turbo to it. Colour scheme at this stage will be satin black with silver flashes to match the aluminium panels at this stage. This what it started as a couple of months ago. May look familiar to some. I think I may have posted some pics earlier. Stripped and ready for the games to begin. Upgraded to a duel circuit MC. Have run a new line from front to rear. Front g'box mount was broken so decided after some advice, to fab an intermediate mount. Thanks Dave. Also now has a removeable apron and have done away with the wings between firewall and inner guard. Couple of pics of the new dash. Inside is plain and simple in satin black and aluminium rear panels and door cards. These are the wheels I recently purcahesed. May also look familiar to some.

Heads have 42 x 36 valves and are similar to CB performance mini wedge ports.
The cam I believe is a Pauter grind with 268 degrees measured at .050” with a 108 degree lobe centre and I think it has .520 lift with 1.25 rockers.
DB might be able to supply more info or correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks DB and Daimo...ended up with 12.38 @ 106.3. Lower Tyre pressures and leaving a bit harder should bring times down a tad. 60ft 1.66.

Stanley has Jamboree next weekend too.

Can't wait till you drop some tyre pressure and launch with some wheels up, good luck next week.

Thanks all.....it's certainly a load off after how it went last night. I was focused on the car and not so much on my part. Hopefully next weekend I can concentrate on my job.

Some in car vid thanks to Frosty's gopro. 1st one I had the shift light set to 6500rpm but unfortunately only had a 6200rpm chip in the MSD hence no shift light.

The second run was the PB of 12.3 @ 106mph

I don't think so...afr is good in the vids...maybe lower Tyre pressures depending on the track. Pretty happy with how things went. Changed the oil today and found no surprises.

LOL.......I haven't had my coffee either so I have to ask, is this the 2276 motor or still the 1915 ?

2276cc.
Same everything else as the 1915, except a tad more comp.
That was over a second improvement Stanley?

Sorry mate not at this stage...it's not just a crank. If you've seen the pics you'll realise it's a piece of art...so it's on the mantle piece
