Blue slip problem with repowered beetle
I have been told today that the 67 beetle that I bought in January (and have been working on and spending money on) will not get a blue slip unless I
upgrade the brakes to disc..
It has been repowered with a 1600.. still got drums all round..
Farrk.. Don't tell me I have to spend more before roadworthy!
Anyone know the NSW rules about this?

I'll find out which it is tomorrow... But it think it was from a 68 so it might be a Ball Joint. Will check anyway.

yeah, what che said, unless you can prove that the beetle came out with the same mechanical specs as yours and with an engine within 15% (10% if your
in Victoria) of the 1600's power you are in trouble. easy option is to get it registered with a 1300 then swap over once rwc has expired

Just go to somebody else, the average blue slip drone wouldnt know shit
about beetle engines. Tell em its a 1300 if they ask.
I dont understand their problem, you've increased power from three fifths of bugger all to four fifths.

Mate.. I love your idea.. Seeing I am going to stick this adjustable beam in though, I might as well do the farken lot all in one.. That is if I
decide to do it at all.. I am so over Type 1's.. They give me the shits.. Considering what is available and drivable for 5-6 g's.. Who would bother
to do one up?.. Might as well just pick off the ones that someone else has spent time and money on.. Hey, do you want to pickup a 67 that is nearly
ready for blueslip??

I have spent the day listening, pricing and weighing up the options of V6 3.8, v's quadcam, v's EJ2.2 in my Type 2's.. Then I come home to the
eternal beetle stuck in my driveaway! Fark me!

Mate.. you definately need another one.. Then you can blue slip them together.. As a bonus, you can have the remainder of the 66 sitting at Millers in
Tempe!!
