Any Kombis want to try a 5 speed?
At last year's VW nationals there was a great deal of interest from Kombi owners wanting to fit a Subie 5 speed & adaptor plate to their
aircooled motor.
As my test adaptor plate and flywheel will be ready this week, I am hoping to find a Kombi owner that would like to fit a 5 speed and retain the
aircooled engine.
The Kombi would have to be located in Sydney and be in good condition, certainly good enough to show at the Nats this year and maybe do a magazine
article or two on. (but it doesn't need to be a show winner or anything).
The owner must be prepared to do the fitting and engineering of the combination as I don't run a conversion shop myself.
A number of successful 5 speed conversions have been completed in Kombis but with the Subaru engine, not a VW.
I have a fully built 5 speed available now and would come to the appropriate arrangement with the Kombi owner to supply the parts at an extremely
agreeable price.
many thanks

I'm in qld as well and would love to. Currently running a modified 2L but am building a 2.7L type 4 that will make some decent ponies and plenty of
torque.

I will keep bumping it for a while but we might just have to give a Queenslander a shot, seems to be a fair interest from there. The yanks are keen on
doing it first but I say we do it in Australia instead.

No dramas, 'old bugger' has come through and got himself an unbelievable deal on a 5 speed. We should be showing this off at the Nats. Thanks for
all the interest guys :-)

This sounnds pretty good. Do you have a ball park figure for the setup? I'm guessing your offering just the adapter, or are you going sell a box wih
it as well?
