Sure you don't want to go type IV Andrew - you seemed so passionate on shoptalkforums about your support for the 'big block' of vw engines??

No he really wants to go Subaru....:duh:P

Allright so i had moment the other night at shoptalk but you get that plus with the weight gane we've got with the new full cage the lighter type 1 will bring it back down again a bit and as i said on shoptalk there bloody cheaper and don't rev like a tractor SLOOOWWW

A subaru in the bus YES the Towdster F#%#K No

an EJ25 would give you 7 more cc and triple the engine life at a third of the price....

sorry, couldn't resist.

:o [yawn]

yeah whatever...

next you'll be telling me he shouldn't have a heater in it. :P

Andrew my brother has a set of 94mm Mahle pistons and barrels with brand new rings and a spare set of used rings(have done 2500k's as have the pistons and barrels). He also has some lightened Porsche rods for sale as well from his old 2330cc combo. Check buy and sell parts section for the thread with all the goodies for sale.

Thanks Brennden but i would like new only on the Piston and Barrell Set as i have always spent bugger all on my motors before and reco'ed my old Manxs 1835 more times than i can remember and always with the Old P & C's so it'll be nice to finally have mostly new !!

Sorry mate i can't log in and can't be bothered with there crap , not to mention i would bet that whatever you were showing is NOT streetable especially OFFROAD .
So with that CRAP OUT THE DOOR i'mm happy to admit that i'mm following the skill of a mate in "Dyno" and together we will no dought build some kick ass motors WHICH ARE A SHIT LOAD LIGHTER THAN A TYPE 4 AND AS I'VVE SAID BEFORE REV QUICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What 10 kg heavier is a hassle, are you whinging about the weight of a EG33 in the back of your bus. Whats the problem, you will be spending more on the price of a new aluminium type 1 case which is heavier than a type 4 case than the price of a complete running type 4.

T1 has better ground clearance also.

Don't get me wrong I am never going back to Air Cooled in my buggy as the 2.5L Turbo engines is just so nice and clean and I can live with teh 30mm of ground clearance I lost :>

Apart from what has ended up as T1 verses T4 discussion ranging from weight to the unknown and beyond i have now ordered all my parts from Rod Penrose which he is on the way to the US to buy as i post this.
Oh and 66Deluxe , see ya at the track
