better performance question
hey all.
the way things are looking i'll be keeping my 66 fasty and using it as a get around car. i think it has a twin carby, not sure if 1500 or 1600, the
more knowledgable people will be able to inform me 
anyway, all this going to plan i am keen to give it a bit more go without doing major engine mods and spending a fat lot of cash. i'm selling my polo
GTI so i've gotten used to that extra bit of power from my 72 notch i previouisly had. i know i won't get the same kind of power but wouldn't mind
a bit more then standard. also, will i need to upgrade my brakes?
also want to lower the damn thing, is it easy, hard, a home job or give to a workshop to do for me??
cheers

Its always hard to get Type 3s going as the weight disadvantage compared toa Beetle is the big let down
you carnt do much to them without spending funds
extractors and dissy is about it as you already have twin carbies maybe some ratio rockers would go on as well

I dont know 4 sure but you might get a 2nd hand set but would be scarce to find the mainifold are short as you could imigine
you can get 009 fitted with an electronic module that would be best compufire brand

You can get the short Manifolds straight from the Empi dogalog. I think from memory you can get the whole kit for about $1500 maybe a little less.
As for your brakes.... Nah.. already disk's on the front.
It should be a 1600tp so you might think about maybe 1641 barrel kit too.. no need to bore anything out. just a matter of replacing the barrels and
pistons and bolting the heads on.
And like dave said.
009 fitted with an electronic module that would be best compufire brand and maybe some ratio rockers.

both front and rear can be lowered but u need the knowledge and tools to do it
with your engine theres no substitute for capacity but it costs
