Hey looking at going out for a bit of a skid at WSID next Wednesday night 28th anybody interested in putting on a
VW show?
im in, but im not going in the burnout comp... lol what time u wanna get there?
Don't work far away,probably be there by 4.30, any other takers
Hey polak have you done any thing to stop the motor and trans jumping around?I think your asking for trouble if you haven't.Best of luck guys smash some v8's for me ok
Hi
Watch out for wankers on quads. My nephew is a ANDRA official out there, he will most likely ask if you know my uncle, hes into VWs.
Steve
Steve, got some newly developed CBB quad repelant, it renders the quads reverse gear useless. Yeh and Adam get a bar under that thing.
Woohoo can't wait to see what we get over the quarter and see how it compares with my 1/8 mile time and speed.
yeah guys, the issue is being addressed, very soon.... warwick was good as it was the first time out and showed me all the gremlins that need to be sorted.... iv decided to get a half cage put in, then im building a custom rear end support that ties the forks into the cage and a traction bar (which means getting a new exhaust as clearances are an issue), also since iv decided to build a new box and upgrade the motor yet again i might aswell do it all in one hit... wont be done before wed night, so im just gonna have to take it easy on the launch and i should be ok..... hopefully...
eh.... just kill the trans...
Hey Adam, surely you and mike could rigg up a of traction bar of some sort rather than destroy your mounts, gearbox, clutch,exhurst and anything else that might rattle loose. Really this sort of support is basics that need to be sorted, we might even see bogg shake loose on take off.

traction bar could be purchased and installed in about an hour i recon...
yes it can.... but not in my case..... even if i build a custome one, it still wont work as of where my exhaust and muffler runs..... im on the phone to brad at west side right now, if i can get a set of merged headers then i may be able to have it sorted before wednesday... see how i go
speak to crazy col
he'll tell ya how to make one out of a
tie down strap & chicken wire
hey col
FENCING WIRE HAS A MULTITUDE OF USES TO
zip ties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Tie down strap and chicken wire thats a on the fly repair!A COLLOOK traction bar consists of an Audi 90 front door intrusion bar 12mm threaded rod,nuts and washers from bunnings 2 6inch peices of 50mm angle iron 2 longish self tappers and a peice of medium denisty wood(pine)Total cost maybe $15.Good enough for the super 1600 to go 1.96 60ft,14.87@86mph on 195 monzas.Not cool,but cool aint fast and cool ain't COLLOOK unless it happens by accident!
Gotta admire a bloke that thinks on his feet, not to mention budget concious.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm zip ties
I've got no choice but to be budget concious i am a bum that doesn't live on the street!And ever since my contact moved into management at energex 15 years ago i've had to go cold turkey with the zipties have you guys seen the price of decent zipties they can be like $1 each i ain't down with that shit!
I hate when you loose your dealer
He wasn't my dealer it was kinda like how do i put it stealing he would turn his back and i would take shit
That is the coloquial definition of theft..
Funny you should mention zip-ties and "do-it- your-self".
I used some zip-ties and four strips of bacon to "do it my self", when I found out how expensive it was
to get a member enlargement operation.
Duct tape works well also.
Mine was too big so I took to it with the scissors
