How long has this taken?pics!
Finally, after every possible hurdle to jump, I was slowly driving around last night.....with my mate Dave furiously working the keys on the laptop
which didnt like staying on his knees.
All I have to say is......it whsitles and whooshes although you forget that for a second or two when the front wheels keep wanting to leave the
ground!
I think I just heard a bug in the garage calling..
Matt :o:o

Good to hear that you finally hit the road, I know how you feel. I hit the road for the first time three days ago.
Welcome to the club. It is worth all the effort.

vw car, vw engine, keeping it real...........what are u doing in the conversion section astroboy asking for veewrx conversion pictures, there seems to
be too many of u "purists" hanging around in this section of the forum. Are u all secretly doing conversions in your garages or is the "man" doing
them for u?
Certain people need to be realise exactly where they are postioned on the food chain!

Thanks all,
The exercise has made me a bit of an after market ecu wiring wiz. This happens when every possible thing that can go wrong does! So if any of you
guys doing the same conversion need a hand with the wiring, to avoid the pain and suffering I have experienced, please call and I will be straight
over.
I will take some pics with the digital camera, although I do not know how to reduce them to put on the forum.
Anyone popping by the area wants a quick lap round the block, its 50c a ride although you have to book......for more info see the Sydney Weekender

I drove around for about half an hour...looking for a little race, calling people on the phone to listen to the motor, and Rizzo calls to casually
tell me about some Japanese car called a godzilla who doesnt like purple volkswagens. He then mentions seeing a new commodore smoke nearly all the
gears up the main drag through Gosford, in one of the most impressive power displays he has seen , so he decides to pull up next to it....most people
in Sydney give the nod of approval when their quick car gets beat....
Jak why do you just keep getting the finger out the window from embarrassed passengers?

I will have to pull the motor out again soon and put the new clutch in that is sitting on the bench. The one at present is a stock Kombi clutch, and
without the motor being tuned at all properly, the clutch is giving way on occasions.....splutters above 4000rpm....we were left without the 02 sensor
the other night and still have not been able to tune it.

There is a small ridge running across the entry to my street which shoots off at a 45degree.....
Warning: Do not accelerate hard in second gear over the ridge or the front wheels will leave the ground, only stopped by the sump scraping along the
road resulting in a small tear!
I have the Kostya fight this morning at a mates, so I better put a little bead of weld along it and get it back together!

Welded up the stock sump this morning just to take Jak for a spin. We are taking it off and making the short one tonight.
It does not need to be that short for the street...maybe an inch or so. The headers and filter are only that much shorter.
Jak took some pics and will post them when he gets some time.
