VWRX...getting close
reub - July 20th, 2005 at 11:00 PM

Just thought I'd share with you all that I 'unofficially' drove the bug today. Only around the block to check the clutch and brakes etc but still it's the first time....

The fuel injection needs fine tuning as it's running a little lean but my mate Ian Swinkels is flying back from Cairns this weekend to finish this off. Am hoping to have some video footage for you and also some dyno results next weekend....and all going well some 1/4 mile slips as well.... :thumb

Did I mention how much I'm smiling.....:thumb

Oh that's good news Reub. This has been going on for some time. Mr Swinkels has been entertaining us with his own little project too.nn[ Edited on20-7-2005 by squizy ]

Adolph (aka Hermann) pick-up the auto box 2day....
And he spotted something else that I have that would make a good base for a drag car!!!

Looks like we might have another drag car in Perth B4 long!!!

I for one can't wait!
