hey all
just been down to see westi @ the shop.
haven't been down to do any work on the junka as i've been heaps busy with work
westi hasnt touched her either for the same reason.
i'm thinking about motor options for my bug,
westi said he'll sell me the junka's motor for my beetle,
and to make him an offer.
as he's a mate & we help each other out so much
with every car we build i dont want to insult or take advantage.
so what do you guys rekon might be a reasonable kind of figure to offer for the junkas powerplant

Does it come with or without Trent's mum??馃榿

It is broken you know.
Cant be worth much!馃槀馃槀馃槀

Is it a complete engine straight out of his car - i.e. carbs, cooling, etc etc etc
Stanley 路
If it comes with the pink bits it would be priceless
LIFE IN THE LOW LANE 路
or was it magenta LOL
Nah definately pink!!

Have to be 10G just in the parts,
not to mention all westi's custom fab and machine work.
Just as a comparison,
I think Mick motoers is selling a turn key Scat 2180 for just under 10g.
And that prob makes 50 hp less than westi's.

The scat motor's at micks are $7700, asked them the other day.

I heard he's going over to the dark side and another class .馃樀

DON'T WORRY GUYS,NO CLASS CHANGES ,NA ALL THE WAY
BUT WESTI ,BEAU & MYSELF WILL HAVE TO KEEP YA GUESSING
ON THE NEW COMBO
matberry 路
NA ALL THE WAY>>>>
We're happy now!
Why dont you just swap him for all the good times you've had, or all the help you are gonna give him on the new combo.

I THINK IF WE DID IT THAT WAY
HE'LL PROBABLY OWE ME MONEY 馃槀馃槀馃槀

So he has seen the light and is going BIG TYPE 4.
Something reliable that makes heaps of torque without revving the ring out of it馃槀馃槀
2.8 should make the Junka a REAL weapon......
STOCK 路
ALL WILL BE REVEALED IN DUE TIME馃槒馃槒馃槒
matberry 路
We dont like playing games
YOU MUST REVEAL ALL NOW STOCK
or else someone may DIE馃榿
dangerous 路
One thing is for sure,
it wont be a type 4.
Westi needs to be faster not slower.
You type four blokes always claim huge torque figures.
If you get a type one of the same capacity you can have torque AND hp.
Bring it on Westi.
I'll bet there is a roller cam in the plan.
LIFE IN THE LOW LANE 路
So can you build a 2.8L type 1?
dangerous 路
Yes.
Or a 2.4 with more power and torque.
matberry 路
Type one all the way Westi
Probably some real big heads too!!! (maybe he decided vw heads were too hard to make POWER with馃馃)
STOCK 路
DAVE
ROLLER CAM (DEFINATELY)
STILL AIR COOLED
STILL N/A
THERE WILL BE INJECTION
(I DONT WANT TO SAY ANY MORE UNTIL WE'VE GOT THE MOTOR FOR SURE)
