SOB/RFH:
...No money limit, no part finding issues limiting, no hassle with police and no obstruction like family, work and resposibilties. How would your perfect Cal-looker look like? It's all open: 5 speed, EFI, slicks on the street. Early or late body.....you know it is only limitited by your imagination. Let's chare the Cal-look build up wish list!!
Luftkraft:
here we go, the cal looker of my dreams would look like that:
body: oval ragtop / lowlight ghia coupe as optional choice
color: black (mirror finish, haha)
engine: 2276cc or 2332cc with 48 IDAs (gotta talk the details over with my engine guru, but reliability and torque over maximum hp), with around 180hp
box: bulletproof tranny with Berg 5th (1st - 4th close ratio)
chassis: 4 csp wide 5 disc brakes, dropped spindles, slightly narrowed beam, chassis powdercoated in black
wheels: Ercos or Centerlines
interior: speedwell woodrim steering wheel, speedwell instruments (oil press./oil temp/tach), lapbelts, otherwise bonestock
that's about it for the moment, any suggestions, help and money welcome :)
SOB/RFH:
I think a early 60's car...62-64 would be the best. Paint job: dark blue or maroon. Tinted windows and one piece windows. No trim or moulding in the window rubber. No rear view mirrors on the outside. I like the deck lid from the cabriolet but also the one with a scoop used on 70's lookers. Interior has to be black fabric against the outside color on the dash. Early 911 recliners and tacho from Autometer (the small one with a racepak computor in the glovebox) and a simple roll bar with stright bars connected to the framehorns. No back seat. Colour coded trim around the headlights and lenses from a Porsche 911. Stereo (MP3 player) as it has to be a street car! A rather stock chassie with lowered spindles. Stock drums in front and type 3 in the rear. Transaxle, type 1, with ZF LSD and 3.78/2.25/1.32/1.04 and a 3.88 R/P. 2332 cc engine. 40*35,5 heads masterfully ported and all lightweught for longevity. Engle 130 cam with 1,25:1 rockers. 1 5/8" exhaust and 48 IDA:s with 37 vents on tall manifolds. A cruiser for the next 10-20 years and still in the 12's with a set of M&H....That's it!!!......ohhh forgot wheels!! Gasburners....OG!! Happiness is a hot VW!!
Roman:
Soooooo, when are you going to start the project SOB? ::)
SOB/RFH:
Roman I am just dreaming!! Maybe EFI is better then IDA:s........I saw some very low once and as long as one can use the tall manifolds the engine can be worked on............................................
