Looking at getting some vintage speed gear. We may save some time on the gear change 😊

Rose's motor is the pobjoy steroids street combo from over 20 years ago.........they were good for 15.3@86mph, so Rose is very close to those times, which is an excellent result considering her motor was bought 2nd hand !!

No Tacho
Yeah not bad for a old motor fitted to a early 6volt gear box with the bell housing ground out to take the 12 volt flywheel and with about a foot between gear changes with the old 54 gear stick 🤪

Geez Rose - If you don't dazzle everyone with speed, you will certainly dazzle them anyway with all that shine.

Looks GREAT.

put the old engine that I've been drag racing with over the last few years that I've given a thrashing and all we've done after each drag event is changed to oil with some castrol edge sport 10w/60 and checked tappets haven't had to change points, spark plugs or adjust timing at all.

So today we thought we would put it on the Dyno to see what HP it actually has

I was rather surprised that it had 79.5HP at the wheels and was still climbing. We where suprised with the result.

The dyno guys backed it off as it was a bit loud in there shop with the stinger on it.

Good stuff Ian and Rose, and I bet Rose is hanging out to get it all together and get behind the wheel 👍

I have to ask Ian, what's the go with that first photo, are you now a sales rep for http://www.lowbugget.com/turbo_new_page_link.html with that sticker showing for all to see 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Also, Ian I hope these photos were taken only after a couple of hours from starting to strip and rebuild 😂🙄😵❓

Keep the photos coming and the building happening.

Kev 👍
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
