Was good to catchup with you both on your trip home, and to cruise with you for a few k's up the freeway

Did I imagine it, or were there 2 grooves in the road to Wakefield Park....about 135mm wide 
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Hey Matt, just been reading through your post for the second time. Just a quick question re your gearbox - is it a rebuilt 6v swing axle box or a 12v
swing axle box.
IF IT ISN'T DRIPPIN, IT ISN'T DRIVEN

Spewing I missed out on seeing you run a Wakey Matt!!
1:20's are good numbers on that setup. I'm chasing 1:15's on Monday providing the Weather permits!!
Are you making the trek down to WSID next weekend?

I used a new case for the tranny rebuild, a VW casting in mag but with extra strengthing ribs, but essentially you could call it
a 12V.

Thanks Zac, I was stoked when you compare the times to some of the others running, especially considering I had only about 4 hot laps.....
Yep, she's ready for another thrash on the 1/4 mile.....hope to make the pizza run on Friday night, then racing Saturday. Looking forward to it.

Overdue for another update....
Bluey's little 2 litre is going great, performance and driveability is just as I'd hoped, strong and smooth
A week or two ago a few dubbers got together at Willowbank Dragway for a test and tune so as I'd had no tracktime to date (not for lack of trying
that's for sure), Bluey and I went to play.
It was a great night even though we only had two passes due to a major track oil-down.
My two passes ...
1st 2nd
R/T .273 .513
60' 1.929 1.909
1/8 8.746 8.795
MPH 78.76 78.73
1/4 13.76 13.81
MPH 96.10 95.86
And here's the vid thanks to Dave Richardson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsUJdsDbM7c&feature=share
Pretty happy with the results and with about a 500km round trip, not only is Bluey a cool daily, but also a top performer

Thanks for the comments fellas.
Anyone is welcome to come for a spin in Bluey as it is the performance and 'capable all rounder' that I am promoting with this car, any quality
built car can do this and I like to share the joy....
