cool, i'll head down and get some video........

That would be great if you could do that... and post it on here after. he he he.

oh yeah, too easy......... keen to see your new machine, want to let us in on this years specs yet????...........

Ha Ha.... not really.

Im still in the planning phase at the moment but there are some big changes. The shell is at the stage to be caged out. Engine will still be my original pobjoy steriods. No point changing something that works. Its just every thing else that is getting the work over.

Fingers crossed Im still on target to have ready by the end of the year. Specs, research and test and development you will read about in the coming months.

Nathan

you obviously don't speak the French language either.

fait accompli = French for an accomplished fact

"Your funny but why would I want to do that. I still have 18000klm left my on warranty"

I'll be upfront and honest and say that you've probably got another 18000km of of misery remaining. Stan loves to torture you blokes eh?

How many vee-dubs are racing at Kempsy ?

Hi Nathan,

The 18,000 warranty is great. The average hillclimb is about 1km. Say you get 2 practice runs and 4 competitive runs that's 6km per event. With 8 rounds that's 48 competitive kms.

If you change your oil at 5,000km then you shouldn't have to do it until the year 2114.

Your warranty should run out in the year 2384.

Sorry to be a smart arse, but I've got a new calculator and pocket protector which I wanted to try out.

Good luck with the racing this year.

I saw a picture of Greg Ward's car at Bathurst. It finally looks like the suspension is working. I bet you helped him withit. Am I right?

CYA CT

CT has anyone ever told you you are a nerd? Yes both glen and myself have been giving Greg a hand. There is still a little way to go before its right but it is certainly on the way. Just having the time is the only factor at the moment with Greg spending most of the year OS with work, Glen working flat out and me with my ever expanding family the car business seems takes a back step. I can't believe Greg drove that thing the way it was. I couldnt handle sitting in that thing going around the block let alone the carrot top driving it to S.A, Qld and race it. Im amazed he could even set anysort of a time in the thing. To put it in simple terms... It was $HIT. CT, whats the go with the new ID?

Captain. I dont know how many beetles are going. There will at least be Wardy if his gets his flight from the Asain country he is working in this week.

A good reason for one of those dumb smiles.

With suspension like Greg had, or lack of, he didn't deserve tyres.

They work together as you know.

I couldn't login with my old ID but I'm not nerdy enough to figure out why. I created a new one on about the 16th attempt.

I hope the work you're doing to your car is coming along well.

I pulled my donk apart to fix the pushrod tube and decided to try a different cam. At least it will make it a mission impossible to get it all back together in time for the VW Nationals at Easter. I'm a goose.

CYA CT

change yor cam again, what this time ct....

Come on CT spill your guts.

Tell me your installing a k8 or maybe k10 to go with your new ratio rockers and shiny new big port heads you just purshased.

ps I like the sound of your warranty Nathan,LOL

Cheers Col

come on colin, get your car out there !! I will double enter it with you

I suppose you wont me to pay both entries? LOL.

Cheers Col

No second thought you would probably beat me in my own car.

How embarrasing.

Cheers Col

i will pay for both entries ........come on, get it out again !

Good things come to he who waits.

Thats what i tell myself anyway.

Gee that means i,m going to have some awesome things soon.

Seriously trying to get my car together for 2010.So much to do and so little time, not to mention money.

Cheers Col

I thought it WAS together ??

Both K8 and K10 have less duration at .050" than your W130,
so if you want faster...FK87,
if you want nicer....V26(old grind not listed any more but still available).

Get genuine engle if you can.
ELC cams have smaller lobes, and so are ground a long way through the induction hardened lobe.

Get some better pushrods too dude.
Cromo set at zero or the best alum you can buy.

4 beetles entered at Kempsy hillclimb

hope they all have good windscreen wiper rubbers
