I have been told today that the 67 beetle that I bought in January (and have been working on and spending money on) will not get a blue slip unless I upgrade the brakes to disc..
It has been repowered with a 1600.. still got drums all round..

Farrk.. Don't tell me I have to spend more before roadworthy!

Anyone know the NSW rules about this?

ask hypo vw hes an examiner so he should know

OK..

Easy go to another inspection station and tell them its a 1300, if they ask!

or put your 1600 pistons and cylinders on 1300 bottom end

I'm over it.. farken

rules are if 1600 then need disc up front.

Just saying... them the rules

Is 67 still K&L or Ball Joint?

Think I have a complete disc to disc front end.

K&L

I'll find out which it is tomorrow... But it think it was from a 68 so it might be a Ball Joint. Will check anyway.

Thats great Matt.. Whats involved in fitting.. I have an adjustable beam to fit as well so could do it off the car and then swap the beam..

yep, if the capacity is over 15% of factory then you need an eng. certificate in NSW

I still like my idea!:thumb

yeah, what che said, unless you can prove that the beetle came out with the same mechanical specs as yours and with an engine within 15% (10% if your in Victoria) of the 1600's power you are in trouble. easy option is to get it registered with a 1300 then swap over once rwc has expired

Just go to somebody else, the average blue slip drone wouldnt know shit
about beetle engines. Tell em its a 1300 if they ask.

I dont understand their problem, you've increased power from three fifths of bugger all to four fifths.

Mate.. I love your idea.. Seeing I am going to stick this adjustable beam in though, I might as well do the farken lot all in one.. That is if I decide to do it at all.. I am so over Type 1's.. They give me the shits.. Considering what is available and drivable for 5-6 g's.. Who would bother to do one up?.. Might as well just pick off the ones that someone else has spent time and money on.. Hey, do you want to pickup a 67 that is nearly ready for blueslip??

I have spent the day listening, pricing and weighing up the options of V6 3.8, v's quadcam, v's EJ2.2 in my Type 2's.. Then I come home to the eternal beetle stuck in my driveaway! Fark me!

Tell me about it!, here's my driveway...

P.S it's a 1600 tp and unreg

Vehicle Standards Information Sheet No.6 was the shhet/regulation applicable to my '56 mods. I can't seem to be able to track them down at the moment, but I can fax them if need be.

Mate.. you definately need another one.. Then you can blue slip them together.. As a bonus, you can have the remainder of the 66 sitting at Millers in Tempe!!
