Its not a Beetle, buts its still a VW.
76 Mk1 Golf
Yes I did trailer it! Call it what you like eg. trailer queen, but with as crap history as I have with racing VW's, they always break on me, so its
better to be safe than sorry.
Ran the car in full street trim, as I drive it to work everyday & do 700+km each week in.
All that was removed was the spare wheel & jack.
Full seat's, trim everything, even down to the crummy 13" Bob Jane Allrounders!
Engine is a stock low compression "slug" 1.8L with a mild Autotech 270° cam & HD valve springs
K-Jet fuel system with a piece from here & there off other makes & models
Saab 900 T3 turbo
Galant intercooler
MSD Ignition Boost timing retard
HD clutch (which slips)
Stock Diesel 4spd
All home built & tuned.
If people are interested I can post up a build thread.
1st run
14.36 @ 101.8mph 2.6 60ft! Yes very lazy take off, but was also on the bald 165/65R13's!!
2nd
Fitted up the stickier road tyres with 10psi
13.99 @ 101.53mph 2.3 60ft. Still lazy & slow on the take off. Slight wheel spin & mild clutch slip
3rd
13.78 @ 101.6mph 2.2 60 ft. Still very slow take off as I didn't want to just rev it up & dump it & break it "AGAIN!", slight wheel spin
& mild clutch slip.
I reckon with a proper race clutch, alittle bit more track time & a few suspension tweaks there is still a few tenth's in it.
13.9 pass

Cheers dude.
A few people were saying last night it was a "slow track".
Very dewy & alot of cars were a few tenths off there normal consistant times & PB's.
So I reckon with some more track time, a few tweaks & good conditions a low 13 could be on the cards.
But you'll always have trouble launching a FWD. Thats why they 60ft crap & make it up in the top end & it shows with the mph they run.
There was a bloke there in a Ford Galaxy that ran 13.1@102mph, where as I'm over half a second off but running the same mph. If that makes sense.
But to me a low 13sec car isn't all that fast.
A fast streeter to me is a mid - high 12 sec car.
One day I'll get there, but will need alittle bit more power

Well I finally got a chance to run at a Calder after it had been washed out for the last few street meets & tonight didn't disappoint one bit.
Managed to get 4 runs in, which for the amount of people that turn up, its pretty bloody good.
Car is still full weight/trim with street tyres & the only mods from my daily driver setup is a VW Motorsport rear trans mount, a couple of bump
& rebound adjustments to the shocks & tyre pressures. No ride height changes.
Anyway they went like this
13.44@104.8mph 2.12 60ft (8.73@83.3mph 1/8th which is miles off the cars best of 8.15@86mph)
13.26@104.02mph 2.12 60ft
and.......
13.002@105.74mph 1.96 60ft (8.35@84mph 1/8th)
Very happy with this run, as my prediction was a 12.8-12.9@105-107mph .
4th run was go for broke and...
It launched hard off the 2-step, shook the tyres & smashed the RH outer CV joint.
Doesn't matter though. the car is running awesome & having a stock drivetrain handling 20+pass', plus the huge amount of street abuse,
powerskids, clutch dumps off the 2-step in 2nd gear, I was expecting it to break sooner or later.
But for now, I'll replace the CV & head back out again for the 12....
13.00 pass. Sorry, it was off my phone taken by a mate. & it doesn't have zoom. I really should of taken a camera with me, as I knew it was going
to be a good night.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbBHp4VqIhQ
Was an awesome night & couldn't believe the amount of people who were coming up afterwards & saying stuff like, "watching your shoebox run
that hard was the biggest surprise I've seen at Calder in a very long time" & the best one was from a bloke who said "dude, this is by far the
best highlight of the night for me. Even better than some of the 9 sec cars to watch!"
Good feeling.
Bring on the 12's

Thought I'd update this from the last street meet I attended last Friday.
Yes I know it was April fools day, but this is no lie.
Anyway, straight off the trailer
13.068@105.51mph - 2.04 60ft, 8.42@84.61mph. Waaay off the normal 60ft & half track pace.
Then!!!!!!
12.993@106.87mph- 2.06 60ft, 8.38@85.46mph. Still off the 60ft & half track pace, but finally ran a full street trimmed &
weight 12!!!!
Fastest & first Mk1 in Australia into the 12's & doing it in full street trim/weight & also using agricultural "K-Jet" mechanical
injection!!!!!
Last run I launched hard & mashed it & at half track started smoking like all buggery.
Didn't get a time slip due to below, but I looked up & still ran a smoking 13.1! haha
anyway, I broke it!
Stock pistons & rods with K-Jet can only take sooo much abuse.
Oiled down most of the track & made a mess everywhere! Oil was pumping out the breather like it was going out of fashion!
I dare say, its melted a piston & broke a few rings to pump out that much oil! It still runs 100% & drove it onto the trailer etc. But its now
taken up smoking!!!
I know if I had of been able to launch on my PB 1.8 60ft, the car would of run onto a 12.5-12.6! But it just wasn't to be.
Spewing I didn't get any video's or pics on the night & no one I can find who was there did either. I turned up very early in the night &
got 3 hot laps in within 30mins! Was surprised how empty Calder was at that time in the arvo! But the good thing is I got my runs in & then got to
kick back & watch some real cars run!
Just for interest sake a bloke turned up in a Ferrari 355 & all he could manage to run was a mid 13 @ high 90's mph!!! Wish I had of lined up
against him!!!! haha
Some more carnage pics.
It still runs & runs smooth as, but just pumps out vapour from the catch can! haha
Where to next after this. I don't know. I've accomplished what I set out to do & now at the cross roads with not only this car, as its soooo
bloody rusty its not funny & not worth the time & effort to fix, but also racing VW's in general! Can't be stuffed building another car to
replace it.
I suppose we'll see what we'll see.
Some more pics in daylight
