If you all want to ignore the hillclimb/supersprint challenge, how about a bra and panties wrestling match. We could go silly and have a celebrity
match between Boris, Holzl and Popjoy. Has any one thought that the last 2 look related?

I will have mine back on in a week or so, as I have been busy..I had think I had 230hp, although that was with a leaky BOV, and a few other little
glitches that have since been sorted..hope for 200kw as this is still old motor, although who cares what figures a dyno claims, feels like its going
harder, I do 500kms a week and have wasted every car that stupidly thought they were quick.
The new motor(2002) will have a custom tig welded intake maniold, new stainless headers and exhaust, a secret turbo, maybe a secret crank and a 50-75
Nos kit.
I want to run high 10's.... still a daily driver though.

Hi Glenn

Just from HP perspective, I think Jak would be the male in the relationsip....

ha are you really serious???? ive got a old little mazda that "stupidly thinks its quick" and if you can beat it you can keep it but if i beat your
super quick bug its mine 1/4 mile hiil climb sprint you can even pick dubbill@hotmail.com
|
I have no doubts there are heaps quicker cars out there.....My idea of a race would be a 200km drive to a supersprint, then a 150km drive to hillclimb
and then back to the creek for a 1/4 mile run. Oh I forgot..2 passengers as pit crew and tools.
I have not popped off to anyone in the street how fast my car is.... what I said was that shit talkers look even more stupid when they loose. Havnt
had a race for a week, the last was a new, worked evo 8 and I did him by 4 car lenghts. My partner used to own the rx3 with plates IDO 10Z. He ran a
10.4 at willowbank with the front wheels off the graound pretty much the whole way down the strip.It was illegal, he had mini tubs and ran 30psi, so I
know what rota motars can do, as does everyone else. Its the look on their face after herbie beats them. Is your little Mazda engineered, and do you
use it as a daily driver?

Are the subaru clutches the same diameter Jak? They would work with less force if the diameter is bigger..
Good to know about kombi levers fitting, is there any particular type? I was just going to use a late bug one which is longer than earlier ones but I
think I'll go kombi now so my wife uses it a bit more :thumb

Hi Neil
Mine is 850kg (1800lb), a stock rexxy is 832kg, I think that I could easily get away with a stock 1700lb kennedy though. Depends greatly on your
driving style & what u use the car for. I also put a kombi clutch lever arm on as well as they are 1 inch taller than the L-Bug, this helps make the
clutch feel lighter, especially when in daily traffic.

On my Kombi I will be using a Kennedy 2100lb with stock plate and lengthened Kombi throwout arm.
I am using a 002 (1600) belhousing on a 091 (2 litre) gearbox which gives me a 200mm clutch (off the shelf parts). The only downside is that the
throwout shaft in the 002 is not as big as a 091 which would have allowed me to run a type 3 arm which is longer.
I will cut lengthen and box up the existing arm another 15mm to get a softer clutch pedal.
Shimmo is the man for this information!

Paul , Simon & my self paid a visit to a guy in Perth thats does the vw boxes for the off road boys .He also builds the street vw gear boxes here .
Its a big $ box for kombi 4K
I going Rancho by the look of it unless I can get hold of a G50 box .
The type three is a direct fit so thats the better move .For me it will have to be a rolling start or I will brake it for sure .
Not long now before I bring the Dragon home

The only reason my box went, was a stupid flat change into second. Teeth all done! We just took a mainshaft out of another l bug box I had and
combined the two. Now its sensible chirps into every gear like Jak....Its faster that way anyhow. Albins mainshaft is $650(lifetime warranty) gearsets
are $350 each...that would be a pretty unbreakable box for about $3000. Drove to Nelson bay and back on Sunday...big smile.

Swayaway shafts:thumb not much change from around $6000...its light then a G50 and would match a Rancho.I still think a Reno 5speed is the ducks guts

Looking at the reno box the only saver is the crown wheel , its 15mm larger than the 6 rib kombi gear box crown wheel , just that bit more saves the
box
first gear in the reno is very low ( good if you have a truck )

The Reno box looks good, but where do you buy one? I called every Reno wrecker in the country looking for one, most had never heard of a UN1 reno
box.

Hi Neil
I thought the good ones were UN1 - xxx
21 Turbo = UN1-13
25GTX = UN1-03
25V6 = UN1-04
Alpine GTA = UN1-05
25 Blindee = UN1-06
Alpine Turbo = UN1-07
25V6 Turbo =UN1-08
What Reno are yours from Neil?

Steve,did you try Reno wrecker Central Coast?Most pros that have them are the buggy boys that race use them.Its a interesting boxUN5.To use one of
these you need a adaptor shaft as well.
