After keeping it quiet for over two years,
it was on show at Warwick.
Here are my pics.
Engine is supercharged 2830cc with Autocraft case,
and CD heads from Roger Crawford and Anthony Chicca at HeadsUp! performance in the USA.
Awesome workmanship from the crew at CBB.
Trans is Mendeola.

Nice!....Davo was the chassis built here?

The chassis originally came fro Puerto Rico,
but has been comletely re-hashed to meet the Australian ANDRA safety standards,
and the requirments that will meet Mike's intended goals.

Superb Car!!
The attention to detail is truly outstanding.
Patience and persistence in bucket loads has already been expended it is easy to see!!
It was an awesome effort by and a credit to Mike to have the car there. Likewise Chris Holland and Shane Hobson who also put in some insane hours finishing the paint and sign writing.
There will be heaps of photos and info soon on the cbb website as the car is readied for racing.
Here's a couple form Thursday night, getting ready for Warwick and getting it on the trailer just hours before we were due to leave.

Hi
This car is amazing, the attention to detail will be hard to top by any race car.
I was lucky enough to be there when he started it, the sound reminded me of the Peter Keegan / Dave Butler days of super charged flat 4s.
You know it has some serious mumbo when you can feel stray exhaust pulses from about 10 metres away, after he switched it off it got a well deserved round of applause.

Thanks for the positive comments all.
A real big thanks to Shane Hobson, Darren Hobson, Chris Holland, Dave Stoker, Russell Sarten, Matt Sherwood, Henry Spicak, all the Late shifters and Dino from Dino'S Pizza for feeding us on all those late nights working on the car.
It was a real joy to have all the Warrick crowd appreciate and comment on the car. Our intention over the next months is to finish the car for some testing at the Nastalgas at WSID in the coming months.
Hope to see you all at the track.
Regards
Mike

Sweet car I love how everywhere you look there are little touches others would not bother with.
I mean who has even seen company logo's in race numbers ... sweet.....
JVLRacing ·
Presentation! wins me all the time.......Best ive seen😎
LIFE IN THE LOW LANE ·
Not only is the car race worthy it's show worthy for sure. A credit to the ridiculously long hours you and the boys have put in Mike. Total attention to detail everywhere you look on the car. It's all the finishing touches on the smallest of things that I noticed as a detailer of show worthy cars that impresses me the most.
Top work!! Can't wait to see some numbers.....
LOWBUG ·
What is interesting is that even though we were totaly deticated to help Mike achieve his dream, when we were going home anywhere between 2,3 and 5am he would leave at 6 go home kiss the wife and kids, then gor back to the shop and put a full days work, and this was happening for up to 4 to 5 weeks leading up to Warrick.
The most support was from his family, onya Jackie.
And to be involved in such a project was a total privilege and an honour.
Thanks Mike
JVLRacing ·
Yes projects like this eg. is worth keeping your wife for no doubt...😊i know that

Dont forget the Fibreglasser
Looks great well done to all the crew.
cbbvw ·
Sorry Jeff did not mean to upset any one.
The thanks to the boys was for there unpayed unconditional support in the last few months, above and beyond the normal level one would go too.
Once the car is finished and the article has been written all the payed help such as yourself will be given due credit.
When you get a chance we need to catch up to discuss some things that need to be fixed.
Regards
Mike

Cool Mike only joking I assumed that to be the case as you and the crew put some hours into the car. No dramas and well done again it is a piece of work.

so what has happened with this car? I remember it being featured in one of the VW magazines but haven't heard or seen anything more since. Let get some more details on the bullet you are using. Beautiful race car guys!
polak ·
been to a few more events since then, has had some standard teething issues but now is running nice and strong, now up to mike and the car to get properly acquainted and work together for some good times, warwick this yr showed how well engineered this thing is, launching hard, flat and straight, with even it lifting the front wheels during one of the burnouts.... still getting sorted but getting quicker at each meeting.... anyone got any times on hand for warwick (butler maybe 😁)? i lent out my vwma mag to a mate... lol and most recent meeting was at the nostalgias at WSID in sydney, but due to some battery gremlins both the ghia and darrens CBB bug didnt get to do much on the day.
trickysimon ·
7.32 @ 102.74mph at Warwick 👍
LOWBUG ·
Gees Adam you know more about whats going on than I do.😂
dcuplover ·
what's new with this fantastic Ghia? Hopefully it is out getting run hard and fast!! any new pictures?
too cranky ·
This was one of his passes at Portland in Feb this year.
dcuplover ·
does he get the car out much? That looked like one of his better runs from the posted videos. Most of the time the car is farting and pissing so that was much cleaner. Must be way more in it than a 6.1/6.2?
dangerous ·
I think it ran a 6.09 and 122.9mph, taking off in second gear.
Engine was running sweet, but the shifter or pro rings meant the second gear starts were needed
so that he could still put down some good runs for the fans.
Last I heard he was tidying up some small issues, but customers come before racing,
but should be ready for Warwick in September.
vassy66T1 ·
Will be good to see a pass where all the gear shifts come together for him.
Will be an awesome spectacle.
too cranky ·
It should be good to see it when it leaves using first gear as well. Slowly all the gremlins are being worked out. Its hard to get something so new to be right from the start. It has always been a case of seeing what is going on with it as he gets more time behind the wheel in it. The video and most of the passes at Portland Mike was leaving the line in second gear. If he launches in first and doesn't have a nap between gears we could see some awesome passes soon.
dcuplover ·
what's happening with this car lately? Too nice to collect dust!!
too cranky ·
Don't worry it wont be collecting dust at Warwick next weekend. With a new shifter in the car hopefully some good numbers will follow. With a car like Mikes its not an easy task getting it sorted, I'm sure Mike will be looking forward to showing more of the Ghia's full potential as he clocks up time in the seat. Here is some info on the car http://www.cbbvw.com/vehicle/8/The-Twins

LIFE IN THE LOW LANE ·

Dak-A-Tak ·

Just love some of the engineering that goes into these drag cars ..even better when it filters down into street cars..pushing the development of VW based products benefits all the VW community..😎
