westi's motor
STOCK - November 21st, 2008 at 08:16 PM

hey all
just been down to see westi @ the shop.
haven't been down to do any work on the junka as i've been heaps busy with work
westi hasnt touched her either for the same reason.
i'm thinking about motor options for my bug,
westi said he'll sell me the junka's motor for my beetle,
and to make him an offer.
as he's a mate & we help each other out so much
with every car we build i dont want to insult or take advantage.
so what do you guys rekon might be a reasonable kind of figure to offer for the junkas powerplant

Does it come with or without Trent's mum??:smilegrin:


matberry - November 22nd, 2008 at 08:24 AM

It is broken you know.
Cant be worth much!:lol::lol::lol:


reub - November 22nd, 2008 at 08:54 AM

Is it a complete engine straight out of his car - i.e. carbs, cooling, etc etc etc


Stanley - November 22nd, 2008 at 05:31 PM

If it comes with the pink bits it would be priceless


LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - November 22nd, 2008 at 05:49 PM

or was it magenta LOL

Nah definately pink!!

Have to be 10G just in the parts,
not to mention all westi's custom fab and machine work.

Just as a comparison,
I think Mick motoers is selling a turn key Scat 2180 for just under 10g.
And that prob makes 50 hp less than westi's.

The scat motor's at micks are $7700, asked them the other day.


Dak-A-Tak - November 23rd, 2008 at 07:24 PM

I heard he's going over to the dark side and another class .:starhit:
Motor price is between the 2 of you !Pay what you are happy with .


reub - November 23rd, 2008 at 08:43 PM

dark side?? 20b Rotary maybe??


Brad - November 23rd, 2008 at 09:24 PM

Dark side .. so he got sick of breaking huh ...

STOCK - November 24th, 2008 at 07:58 AM

MATT

PETE & DAVE
DON'T WORRY GUYS,NO CLASS CHANGES ,NA ALL THE WAY
BUT WESTI ,BEAU & MYSELF WILL HAVE TO KEEP YA GUESSING
ON THE NEW COMBO


matberry - November 24th, 2008 at 08:43 AM

NA ALL THE WAY>>>>

We're happy now!

Why dont you just swap him for all the good times you've had, or all the help you are gonna give him on the new combo.


STOCK - November 24th, 2008 at 11:11 AM

I THINK IF WE DID IT THAT WAY
HE'LL PROBABLY OWE ME MONEY :lol::lol::lol:


LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - November 24th, 2008 at 05:09 PM

So he has seen the light and is going BIG TYPE 4.

Something reliable that makes heaps of torque without revving the ring out of it:lol::lol:

2.8 should make the Junka a REAL weapon......


STOCK - November 25th, 2008 at 10:10 AM

ALL WILL BE REVEALED IN DUE TIME:smirk::smirk::smirk:


matberry - November 25th, 2008 at 07:59 PM

We dont like playing games
YOU MUST REVEAL ALL NOW STOCK

or else someone may DIE:smilegrin:


dangerous - November 26th, 2008 at 05:29 AM

One thing is for sure,
it wont be a type 4.

Westi needs to be faster not slower.

You type four blokes always claim huge torque figures.
If you get a type one of the same capacity you can have torque AND hp.

Bring it on Westi.
I'll bet there is a roller cam in the plan.


LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - November 26th, 2008 at 06:53 AM

So can you build a 2.8L type 1?


dangerous - November 26th, 2008 at 07:09 AM

Yes.

Or a 2.4 with more power and torque.


matberry - November 26th, 2008 at 07:56 AM

Type one all the way Westi

Probably some real big heads too!!! (maybe he decided vw heads were too hard to make POWER with:dork::dork:)


STOCK - November 26th, 2008 at 10:39 AM

DAVE
ROLLER CAM (DEFINATELY)
STILL AIR COOLED
STILL N/A
THERE WILL BE INJECTION
(I DONT WANT TO SAY ANY MORE UNTIL WE'VE GOT THE MOTOR FOR SURE)
