FOR SALE OR FREE
RodPenrose - May 23rd, 2014 at 07:03 PM

I would like to either sell or give away my circuit car that I built 3 years ago . This is based on a low mileage non rusted L bug that was stored for about 20 years .

It is painted yellow tinter , has Lexan windows all round , V force race strut package , strut brace , Willwood 4 piston callipers on all 4 corners , cross drilled ford patterned disc's , Kombi master cylinder , 12 litre fuel cell , Holley blue pump , -6 braided fuel lines , braided brake lines throughout , , hyd. park loc and Willwood bias valve , Bilstein rear shocks , cro-moly kafer bar , 26 mm long bars , adj. spring plates , Jay Cee billet retainers , SAW axles and Porsche 930 CV set-up , aluminium bumper brackets , Carbon/Kevlar bumpers and headlights , Aero guards , NACA ducts with hose , 96 plate oil cooler and fan , Autometer memory tacho , VDO oil temp / oil pressure and cyl head gauges and senders , MSD ignition box , 8 x 17 x 7 rims with 8 x Yokohama race tyres , all 80% + tread .

The car has done approx. 3 1/2 hrs. of work since it was built . There are also some spares that are not listed .

I would like $ 8000 for the complete roller that is located in Wollongong NSW .

I also have 4 different complete race trans here all with LSD's that can be fitted to the car . I also have a selection of engines here that will suit from 165 HP and up that can be purchased with the car .

I would ultimately like to sell the car , or I could give it to someone that would use it and get some enjoyment out of it .

The car weighs 749 kg's in circuit trim and has gone 1.16 around Wakefield park raceway , and weighs 714 KG's in drag racing trim with different wheels and has gone 10.7 @ 132 mph in Sydney ,

Allbones - May 27th, 2014 at 09:11 AM

I can’t believe you're at it again Rod, your generosity precedes you!

Would look pretty sweet zipping around Willowbank, Strip, Dirt and Track ;) Haha, just a shame it would have nowhere to live because my sheds already full :( :lol:

Best of luck with the sale!

Robski2011 - January 6th, 2015 at 06:56 PM

Wow Rod what an offer you put down.

My first car way back when was a 66 bug and lately I have been getting a little nostalgic and wanting to get back into the DUB scene.

I have been reading up everything I can get my hands on and watching everything I can over the last couple of weeks to just see what is out there, and your name comes up quite a bit in the Aussie VW community.

This would be a great little bug to run at the strips down here in Vic. especially with one of your power plants to compliment it. Not saying I deserve a car of this calibre but ........... if it was on offer and needed a nice warm garage to sleep in then I would be more than willing to make some room next to the Tiguan.

By the way what engine/trans setup were you running when you ran the sub 11sec in this DUB???
