thats too bad shes a brilliant car

a supercharged engine is rare as hens teeth, let alone a bus of such brilliance! built by greedy! driven by people!

Daniel - ever the shameless promoter

joke's on the owner as I was cashed up to buy but got no reply.
I ended up buying Peter Keegan's 2004 National Champ Kombi and 2003 Valla Car of Show.

AWSOME...

ColumBUS - October 22nd, 2004 at 03:17 PM

dunno what ur talkin bout, this is a classic custom kombi!

wh odoesnt want ot frive around in a car where people look twice and say 'woah thats the fatso kombi! man thats a sweet ride!'
the supercharger kicks the power up phenominally too!

I've seen this car at nearly ever show in sydney. You'll really stand out from the crowd with this bad boy.

Dave_Bugz - October 24th, 2004 at 10:02 AM

kombi with a 1600 type 1 motor. Would it have enough torque? I would have thought it would be under alot of stress.?

ColumBUS - October 24th, 2004 at 04:19 PM

the supercarger more than takes care of any thought about lack of power. trust me ive been riding in it runs beautifully! whilst i was riding in it driver never had any trouble getting up razorback ranges (steep hills outside of sydney). and theres no extra stress. any questions regarding the engine, speak to the creator (but no longer owner) Greedy Steve.

Dave_Bugz - October 24th, 2004 at 07:23 PM

cheers mate. I just would have thought that a good 2 litre type 4 with a dual carb and exhaust would be a safer option. I'll contact greedy. Any more opinions?
cheers.

I've seen both of em and you definitely got the better one...fatso is OK but all its charms are bolted on whereas your blue bus is sweet form the inside to the outside....


Thanks lobus

Yeah I saw it.... the bbq was there to supply butane to the carb to stop the pinging/lean out!

I hope to christ it isn't still there!
A proper tune and jet choices would have been a better and far far safer option!

ColumBUS - October 25th, 2004 at 12:04 PM

yeah the bbq set up is gone as far as i know.

theres a lot of work gone into this kombi, especially the engine. all work is certified so its all safe and checked.

Cheers
