Get the idea
42 people read this , so know one thinks it's a good idea or would like a place to look up tech stuff.
Well ! I'll go back , under my rock .
Unless people comment , nothing will happen .
Gee.......a whole day, and nothing's been done! I suppose it took a while to build Rome, though, didn't it?
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
I think it is a brilliant idea. It is funny how each generation has to relearn everything that the old timers have already done for years. Dave Kawell and I talked about this awhile back . Think about all the time and effort people like Dave Butler and the other guys over there have invested , it seems smart to tap that resource. Something as simple as adjusting valves when you have not done it before would make a good article, let alone setting up a chassis for drag race use. Again, great idea, Mike McCarthy
Pete the CLA already has this function avaliable.Although you dont need a computer,you ring Dangerous,Craig,Westie,MattB,Macca,Ritchie or yourself.Problem solved and most of people i have spoken about are not selling parts just labour and years of experience.Good idea though but as long as i don't loose my phone i'm good,but im sure. it will help some
I think this is a good idea Peter, don't go under a rock.
cheers
Great idea!
Nice idea although it is also nice earning by mistakes and figuring progress out. Much more rewarding that was. I saw something recently that said 'custom doesn't come in a box'.
That sums it up perfectly.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

I think it is a great idea especially for those into drags rather than a street car setup.
Maybe you can change it to a 'Poll' type thread and then it's easy for people (lazy bastards) to vote.

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
Click here for my (slowy) modded 1961 Beetle build.yeah sounds like a great idea im in!

Great idea
I'd rather die trying, than not have tried at all.
Hi
I think its a good idea.
My son is a member of the R31 Skyline club, they have an excellent wiki technical page
http://wiki.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?title=Main_Page As I'm the one that does most of the spanner work on his R31 I find it really useful.
Maybe something along those lines. Some of Joels how too post would be good, get rid of irrelevant posts etc
Steve
Yep, top idea, bring it on!!
I think its a great idea. I could do with a bit of a helping hand at the moment!!!!!
Top idea, Would probably save Dave and I harassing Mr butler every time we can't figure something out!
I need all the help I can get too!!!
I'm not trying to stand on people's toe's or vw work shops or business .The vw drag car project is a huge thing to take on .
I notice in lots of posts that people ask each other for help or want information regarding tech stuff .
My comment about under my rock , was about getting people typing after I looked at the user's names on that period .
We have many great minds on here , that have there own skills or knowledge on vw drag racing or where to find it that part , so way not combine together.
I'm sure we could design something , any idea's?
There's a country buggy tech section so why not have a drag tech section....bring it on
closed,who jumped on who's toes.

i love black label alcohol.

If you have a topic that should be pinned in a drag tech section post it up so those fountains of knowledge on here can reply with an answer and it'll be easy to find!!
ACCEPT THAT SOME DAYS YOU ARE THE PIDGEON AND SOME DAYS YOU ARE THE STATUE
Alder Outlaws VW Racing - check it out on fb!!
Still nothing.... Mods please get onto this great idea... Aussie drag racing dubbers need this resource!
Mate it's not the mods or admins that create new sections but the owner ie Andrew. Maybe you should contact him and point this out to him.
Alternatively if you want to start a thread on it I can pin it in the drag section

I have moved it and made sticky into Drag Section
So ask away
I'll get started......
Section 4.9.7 Flywheel shields - states that vw NA running faster than 11.00 can use a ballistic blanket 'MEETING' SFI 4.1.
There is a guy here in Brisbane that makes ballistic blankets but they are not 'CERTIFIED' to SFI 4.1.
What do you guys run? If it's a blanket, how do you get it passed through tech?
I don't want to put.a 6mm shield around my bell housing.
There is an SFI standard 4.1 for 'flexible' blankets, and also a 4.1 standard for 'trans shields'.
http://www.sfifoundation.com/drag-racing/
There are plenty of trans blankets available out there for other types of gearboxes,
that meet the SFI 4.1 standard.
http://www.sfifoundation.com/wp-content/pdfs/manufacturers/4.1%20Manufacturers%20List%20(flexible%20type).pdf
If the local manufacturer can make a trans blanket to SFI 4.1 'Flexible', then that will be perfectly acceptable by ANDRA.
Simples!
