Title: Lil Stink Hound Post by: stussyrich on September 18, 2011, 20:58:02 pm Lil Stink Hound the story so far. A brief rundown.
no way i'm gonna remember it all, i've slept since then.. This is my 65 uk bug with full history. It all begins with the car looking like this when i bought it 5 years ago. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/bugbus023.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/bugbus043.jpg) The idea was to build a street car with a 2 litre motor, so here you are. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/65%20bug/007-Copy.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/65%20bug/DSCF0341.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/65%20bug/DSCF1509.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/65%20bug/DSCF1527.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/65%20bug/DSCF1521.jpg) As you can see a whole lot of work went into this build. The car was driven on the street in the guise for several years until i joined the SAS Renn Wagens and decided to race it. The full specs are... 2332cc 84x94 044 oval port heads 42x37.5 with 1.4 rockers web 86c cam 48IDA webers Engine did 189bhp @6500rpm and 172ft lbs torque@ 4500 rmp on the jaycee dyno. kcr built pro street box 4.12 ring and pinion, stock 1st 2nd 3rd and an 0.89 4th. Here is a run down off events and times the car has done upto now, with a few changes on the way. The first time out was at vw action 2009 where it ran a 13.6, a club qualifying time. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF0427.jpg) As you can see the car had a change of wheels and tyres for the event to aid with traction and gearing. Next comes york for the ACE vs ASS shootout and a new pb of 13.2 @ 102mph. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF1691.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF1697.jpg) next out was Minis vs beetles at york but no pb and a most embarasing spin on the track. I'll sort out the video link. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/SDC12761.jpg) next out did a rwyb day and droppped my ET to 13.0, oh so close to that 12 i'm chasing. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/SDC12719.jpg) The car was fitted with a set of buggy seats which ment modifying the set mounts and the battery cut of switch. Also i added a line lock to see if i could get some heat into the tyres. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF1974.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF1972.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF1979.jpg) Next up the facelift and some more mods... To start with the pedal assembly was modified with the adition of a moon pedal and a custom linkage. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2028.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2029.jpg) Most of the mods were cosmetic involving another load of pinstriping and gold paint. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2032.jpg) Next up was big bang and after a couple of runs managed to completely destroy the clutch on the start line so we changed it at the track so i could drive it home. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF1532-1.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/clutch1.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/clutch10.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/clutch13.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/clutch7.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2042.jpg) And thats the damage. A very broken kushloc disc. And yes i drove it home, all 3 hours. Title: Re: Lil Stink Hound Post by: stussyrich on September 18, 2011, 21:00:28 pm Time for a new set of front wheels.
Zero offset centerline bubbles. Biggest problem i had was having to clearence the calipers and add wheel spacers. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2379.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2415.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2385.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2425.jpg) thought i'd add some more gold. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2388.jpg) Next outing was the drag day and a mission of running a 12 on radials before the slicks would go on. Second run 12.99. on with the slicks and ra 12.8 The 356 rims were borrowed of a mate and painted gold and the second hand slicks were added.

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2438.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2403.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/wwwvwbugcouk-VWACTION2010426.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF2415-1.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/wwwvwbugcouk-VWACTION2010624.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/wwwvwbugcouk-VWACTION2010623.jpg) Next up drag aday 2011. no pb but a 12.8 on treads. (http://www.julianhunt.net/Automotive-Photography/Cal-Look-Drag-day-11/i-K3Wdnnd/0/L/683J8767-L.jpg) (http://www.julianhunt.net/Automotive-Photography/Cal-Look-Drag-day-11/17254262_rXg728#1313878784_K3Wdnnd-A-LB) this made it into volksworld. (http://www.julianhunt.net/Automotive-Photography/Cal-Look-Drag-day-11/i-7hZDn8Q/0/L/683J8764-L.jpg) (http://www.julianhunt.net/Automotive-Photography/Cal-Look-Drag-day-11/17254262_rXg728#1313877782_7hZDn8Q-A-LB) (http://www.julianhunt.net/Automotive-Photography/Cal-Look-Drag-day-11/i-szWQCKJ/0/L/IMG6757-L.jpg) (http://www.julianhunt.net/Automotive-Photography/Cal-Look-Drag-day-11/17254262_rXg728#1309949445_szWQCKJ-A-LB) (http://www.julianhunt.net/Automotive-Photography/Cal-Look-Drag-day-11/i-m8jc2rC/0/L/IMG6759-L.jpg) (http://www.julianhunt.net/Automotive-Photography/Cal-Look-Drag-day-11/17254262_rXg728#1309949474_m8jc2rC-A-LB) Before big bang 2011 alot of the changes included removing everthing that wasn't necessary including the lights, doorcards, rear end, decklid etc. Jazz fuel cell was added. The windows were replaced with lexan and the race weight erco's were put on, Some rollcage mods were done including doorbars and a dash bar. oooops. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF3089.jpg) Rollcage mods (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF3068.jpg) had to move the guages down. (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/65%20bug/DSCF3070.jpg) (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e63/stussyrich/DSCF3075.jpg) Lexan windows and cal look rubbers.
