61 slammed Pobjoyed rocket!

Hi All

Just thought I would show off my new weapon.
Its a 1961 original paint (mostly) bug
She now has

4.5" narrowed adjustable beam DUB
Wide 5 front disk breaks
Adjustable rear spring plates
Pro street Rancho trany
Empi trany strap kit
Solid mounts
Stan Pobjoy built 1916cc Twin ignition Steroids on steroids engine built around an alloy case.

Am more than stoked with the HP this puts out. Nothing more exhilarating and demoralizing (for the bogan) when you blow off a current SS commodore at the lights or anywhere. Have so much fun in this car!

I hope you like the pics

👍 cool, throw up lots of pics.......give the forum something new to sus out, not enough of it lately

cool stuff

Cheers mate. For me it has to go as good or better that she looks.

yeh see this floating around coffs,,,nice work c u at GJs😂

Love the car and its exactly i want to do when it comes to blowing off bogans in commodores lol mind you i own a commodore as well lol. Out of interest approx waht type of $$ we talking about for a pobje motor llike that?

👍Nice and understated👍. Must be great to see the crummiedoor faces drop.😁

Must say, I am a bit partial to a 61 Beetle.

Very nice 👍 and please put up some more photos.

Kev

Not sure exact HP so I wont say.
Pro street landed at my door after all taxes freight etc etc about $1600
Will post some more pics once I get down south. In the middle of a move at the moment.

Parts cost around 7 grand all up sourced myself from USA and oz. Labour for Stan to machine and assemble is very fair in my opinion. Wont say on a public forum.
I have owned a Pobjoy built Steroids engine in the past and couldn't kill it. As long as you maintain the engine to Stans spec. Then a ex mate of mine bought it off me and obused it but still to this day she go's fine. Thats 10 years of abuse. So when I decided to get back into a fast VW it was a no brainer. Like all things in life in my opinion you get what you pay for.

Just dont want to put my foot in it. If you want to know how much labour is just give him a bell.

Yeah real secret, you could just look at his site he has his machining prices on there.

Hi Gracey
Standard gearing. But all gears are welded with a beefed up diff etc. So far have had no problems but will pop out of first when you back off the revs hard. Might be a shifter issue to. Will try sort it one day..

Noticed you are from Muswellbrook. Im moving their tomorrow for work from Coffs. Was hoping some fellow VW's lived down that way. You will prob see me around, have to say G day.

$3000 plus parts

I'd be surprised if it made more than 120 to 130 ATW, still good though.

I'd be suprised as well.

Never understood the extra sparkplug deal

Many people don't.

Sounds like the front of the box is lifting when accelerating hard, have you got a brace on the front of the box to stop it from lifting when on the gas?

You need one of my K Bar kits as well to stop the forks flexing 😉

Typical salesman😎

look into these suggestion mate if you aren't sure about the shift run replace and lube... IMO feels so much nicer when in good condition. Mid mounts are good and not expensive. Craigs bar is the best I can find anywhere. Do you have an under engine brace too?

ANYONE GOING TO CLASSIC VEE DUBS OPEN DAY THIS COMING SUNDAY?

Anyone going to Classic Vee Dubs open day next weekend?

Extended the rear bumper brackets to allow the deck lid to open with the boot jax. Done a couple of other little jobs that have annoyed me for ages. Coming up for rego again argh. Enjoyed working on her again... Nice to have the time. Dosn't happen enough these days

this is a nice looking bug man.

would be great to see it in the flesh one day and see it go 😎

Will take you for a run in it!
