Common sense says that it is a new car so it will take a bit to get it track ready . and as for the dyno ...If it did not go on the dyno it would not
be going to Warwick. Do you think that just because we are in Australia we dont know anything . The Quality of the Australian Drag cars are equal to
that in any other country (even yours).I would appreciate it if you did not leave any more comments on this post if they are either negative or just
plain stupid

Interesting idea running the fuel line through the channel.... Is it braided the whole length?..... Obviously your fitting grommets at either end, but
does the line need to be tied down in there at all?
Fantastic progress Chris... I have total respect for your efforts, and I'm so glad you didn't paint the car orange!

down

Wayne from WPVW tuned the weber carburettor and the MSD ignition
I am very happy with the results and my bug will be ready for warwick after we fit the new wheelie bars tonight
