Title: RayJay!
Post by: Bruce on May 06, 2024, 10:50:51 am
Last week at a local VW show, a nicely restored 71 1302 was parked beside me out in the car park. Other than the hideous chrome wheels, nothing on the outside said anything unusual.
The owner was nearby and sparked up a conversation. It turns out he just acquired the car and arrived too late to enter it in the show. It's significance?  It is the very first Beetle equipped with a RayJay turbo! Formerly owned by the engineer who designed the kit at RayJay, this was the test mule.

The owner said this car has been featured twice in hotVW's. He had a very bad photocopy of an article written by Jim Wright. I don't recall the issue. I bet there's a magazine collector on here that can find the article.

I think the EMPI nerds can confirm if those are period lumber pieces.
