Sheet metal just slows you down.
Today the fuel system has been fitted. 10mm fuel line front to rear, relocated fuel pump, reg and filter...
Oh, I have also finished a set of problem heads from the states, but that is another story....2165 gets assembled tomorrow and my 2332 goes back
together next, just in time hopefully, for the dyno shootout.

Yeah me too. But we know it can do wheelies and run 8,40 in the 1/8th, in a streetcar.
And should go a bit harder, now that I've been able to give it a bit of TLC this time around.

Thrash for Dynoday
Best laid plans.....my week for assembling car and engine dwindled into two days....Lucky the engine had been together before, but the extra time
would have been nice for a few setup tweeks, but I guess it just gives me reason for a another play inside sometime sooner rather than later. These
photos from Thursday before the day, showing the nice ceramic and drylube coatings on the pistons. The cylinders have been expertly torque honed and
externally coated with a heat dispersant coating. Am very impressed how these looked.
I love these air cooled wonders. By the time it was time for bed, the engine was fully assembled, just needing flywheel fitting.
After overcoming a few installation issues, rewiring engine bay, rust hole in fuel tank leaking my last liter of liquid gold over the garage floor...
she fired up like a demon and drove all of 20 meters to be loaded onto trailer.
Twice around the block ts Custom Exhaust's test track and it was time ot turn some numbers, gotta admit I was happy with a totally clean, strong
package.

wiring since the dyno day.

Engine looks great Matt, just a question, who did the torque hone on the cylinders i need a set of type 4 94's bored and honed to 96mm? Cheers Damo.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

No flames yet Stanley, still primer this time round. Still lots to do, why does it always seem to be a rush to get everything done? Waiting for parts
doesn't help.
See you all at Warwick....must go to the shed....

Glad you liked it Rob, maybe next year it'll be FAST !
Hope everyone had a safe trip home.
Thanks to Craig and all who helped to make the racing go faultlessly, the weekend was fantastic, as expected.
Traction (as expected) was our big problem, so Saturday was a day of dialing in the car, we chased tyre pressures, ride height, launch rpm etc etc, we
even ended up running borrowed (read stolen) kombi bumpstop rubbers and after 8 passes, we were actually able to leave the line ok.
