Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: deano on March 21, 2007, 03:59:20 am June '77 is still available from our back issue department, as well as the Rick Wallace issue.
Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: javabug on March 21, 2007, 12:13:35 pm Thanks, Deano. I did check that out, just haven't gotten back to get 'em ordered. Happen to know the month/year with the Wallace car?

Frank, I've been around your site, it has been helpful! Jim, I have that 90s Cal-look buildup, can you believe the huge deck height they ran on that? Thanks for everyone's input so far. Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: javabug on March 24, 2007, 02:46:46 am I've got it right here...February 95.
Scat 5.50" rods, B pistons. Just the rods and pistons came out to .061" deck. Then they added barrel spacers and copper gaskets and ended up with .130". Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: The Ideaman on March 24, 2007, 06:10:52 am From Dean Kirsten, when I asked about the motor on the CLF.
That particular engine was built out of parts laying around our back room (and was not the same engine used for the 2275). Bruce built that one, using a 78x90.5, Engle 125, unwelded Fumio heads (oh, so nice!), 1-5/8 S&S header, 9.0:1 compression ?, and borrowed 48IDAs from Clyde Berg. After we dynoed it and ran the story, it was taken apart, and put back on the shelf, Parts from it, have gone into other engines.... Total recyle job. Adam Wik dynoed it for us, when he was still in Anaheim. That was a great running engine! Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: Sander/DVK on March 24, 2007, 11:45:20 am The new Ultra Vw of this month ;D It's awesome, AGAIN!!
Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: javabug on March 24, 2007, 17:05:40 pm From Dean Kirsten, when I asked about the motor on the CLF. Neat to have some background info. I know there are definetly some pieces from that build I"d like in my stash.

Wow! Almost 10 Euro's. How much do HVW's cost? A very cool mag, but no newstands locally carry it. Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: Sander/DVK on March 24, 2007, 21:18:30 pm Yeah, I know. The price is a little bit high ;D
It's time for a abbo. Ultra Vw is the only aircooled magazine we can get in Holland. Not even Volksworld! ::) Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: Diederick/DVK on March 24, 2007, 21:31:36 pm UltraVW is bit pricey IMO, and it's also the only mag we can get here - apart from the German Kaefer Scene & co.
I've got a subscription for VoWo, and I like it a lot! I do buy UltaVW occassionally though :) Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: javabug on March 25, 2007, 00:05:23 am Amazingly, there's a Barnes & Noble near here that carries Ultra VW. If there's something totally awesome in it, I'll buy it.
Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: Type1/DVK on March 25, 2007, 16:30:04 pm Registred for a VoWo subscrip. last week ;D
Title: Re: Must-have back issues Post by: javabug on March 25, 2007, 22:40:23 pm Ya know, it figures. I went last night to check it out, and no Ultra VW! Grrr.
