The brakes haven't been upgraded as such yet,
The front disks are stock 1500 disks that have been cross drilled, and the wheel stud pattern has been changed to 4X114 (nissan stud pattern) The
changing of the stud pattern my sound like a strange thing to do but in actual fact it is a master stroke as I can now walk into any mag wheel shop
and pick up wheels for it. The wheels that are on it are 18" DTM garcia's in chrome. oh and the back brakes are still drums.

The type IV is the s&#t,
It has so much torgue that I can light up the 215 tyres, smoke boy racers from the lights and pull 100 MPH up hill, It would go over 100MPH but I run
out of gears.
If you are in any doubt about putting a type IV in your VW do it will be the best thing you have ever done to it.

its a vh or vx 44. its a multi use item for cars of this vintage. simple mount i just bolted it on the left side level with the master and hooked it
up. it reduced my stopping distance by a good meter or so. the t4 2L is the best. i just love passing cars up hills but unforunately its not on the
road at the moment. this is it.http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=25214

Hi Kim,
I will try to answer your question but I didn't build the engine... I may have to get some more info from my mechanic
heads "I think they are stock twin port heads that have been boarded out to have 40mm in-take ports"
ignition "Electronic, with 009 dissy"
cam "No idea- fairly mild I think because it is running hydraulic lifters"
exhaust "I am just having a custom exhaust built with tunned headers - the one that is on there in these picks sat a little low and kept draging when
comming out of driveways etc."
hp/torque? "I have not had it on a dyno- but the prevoius onwers did it was around 120 hp- not sure of the torque but you do feel it."
just curious, cos it sounds like a beast " It is I will be interested to see how the new exhaust goes- you can always have more hp !!!"

Hello s1fter,
There does seem to be a growing number of Type IV beetles, Did you make it to the nationals?. there would have been about half a dozen of them
there.
The work has been done by the Veedub Shoppe (Paul Smith), the previous owners, and I have done a few bits and pieces myself.

Popouts for your model come up regularly on thesamba.com in the classified sections as well as ebaymotors.com - pretty cheap compared to the early
ones.
There are sets of the late model beetle ones floating around in oz too - so maybe post a wanted ad in the parts for sale/wanted section (if you
haven't done so already).
