with the support & backing from Team WPVW , Cindy has decided to come drag racing with 'Billi' her 1965 model rat beetle

for those of you who dont know Cindy , she has been a team member of WPVW for the past 4 years . She raced at Warwick in 2009 in a blue 1973 L-bug powered by a 1776 type-1 engine and also in 2010 in a red 1960 Karmann Ghia powered by a 1776cc turbo type-1 engine

this year Cindy plans to run her much loved 'Billi' at Warwick with a new 2332ml turbo injected type-1 engine

Billi gets 4-wheel disc brakes , a 2" narrowed front beam , drop spindles , a tandem brake master cylinder and all new brake hoses

Billi is back on her wheels and the brakes / steering feel great .
Now the engine & transmission parts start to arrive . WPVW bores the new engine case for the 94mm barrels and the case is clearanced for the 84mm stoke crank

What computor are you running in it Wayne?

I can't wait to get there either, hopefully all the loose ends should be finalised next week, then onto the dyno.

Are you going to run an intake cooling system on this engine and what size turbo?

Man, I want this motor. I love it, well done guys and good luck with it Cindy you lucky girl

Wayne, since you got most of the gear from CB are you using one of their turbos. Also, do you know with the CB turbo exhaust system if it will bolt up with heater boxes or only J pipes.

Thanks and keep us updated, Kev

After a lot of work billi's motor was finally started today. i will post video in the day or two. Now all that is needed is tuning then it will be ready for cindy to drive again. See pictures of Billi's new wheels - Santa was really good this year!!
