Title: The fastback Post by: The Ideaman on October 22, 2006, 18:36:21 pm The other night Daniel calls and says that he's just about ready to fire up the injected 2110 in his fastback. I beg my wife to go, and she reluctantly agrees, but says don't stay to long. I'm off like a prom dress. So we get to work, or more accurately I get in the way while Daniel gets to work. "Why won't it fire? Does it have spark? No, it doesn't. What are these red and black wires for? The pertronix isn't connected. No wonder it won't fire up." At that point we call it a night, because neither of us are thinking straight. He fires it up the next day and broke it in. Now, normally I'm not a fastback guy, but this thing just works for me. It drives like a stocker, but with 3 times the power and 4 wheel discs.

i like notches more though, but it's cool! and the 2110 is a beauty, very factory looking Title: Re: The fastback Post by: spennyp on October 22, 2006, 20:25:20 pm very nice ;D got any pics from the side?? whats the stance like??
Title: Re: The fastback Post by: Lee.C on October 22, 2006, 21:48:59 pm sweet ride dude - thats what colour my 72 used to be before I chopped it up :)
Title: Re: The fastback Post by: The Ideaman on October 22, 2006, 22:57:47 pm I'm sure Daniel would have liked a notchback also, but they weren't imported into the US and as such are very hard to come by in decent shape. How many 31k original paint 1st year fastbacks have you seen?
Title: Re: The fastback Post by: Georg/DFL on October 22, 2006, 23:11:23 pm Hi Ideaman,
can you tell us a bit more about the engine details? What cam? Rods? Heads? Would be nice to get some information, because I am building a 2276 Type 3 engine as well for my Ghia and not to many people have experiences with big Type 3 motors. Cheers, Georg Title: Re: The fastback Post by: The Ideaman on October 22, 2006, 23:28:00 pm Daniel Hood built it in the shop you can see in the background. It has mostly CB performance parts, crank and rods and their roundports. Set up with 8.5 to one and CB 2288 cam and 1.4 rockers. Car has CB performance fuel injection. Runs like a top. Anything I missed, Daniel?
Title: Re: The fastback Post by: DHood on October 22, 2006, 23:39:22 pm It's a 2110 with CB 82 crank, 12 1/2 lb flywheel, CB 5.4 H beam rods, CB 2288 (K-8) cam, 1.4 CB rockers. Wiesman lifters, CB roundport heads. straight cut gears, CB fuel injection, 009 w/Ignitor, Kymco 1 5/8 merged header.

Some of the Sambanistas have no clue at all. It became a pissing contest. Title: Re: The fastback Post by: Shubee2 (DSK) on November 02, 2006, 05:31:13 am Daniel do you live up northern Calif? do you also have a Chopped top you were working on??

Title: Re: The fastback Post by: Bryan67 on April 07, 2007, 02:18:42 am That looks killer D. You dropped the nose a little too? Are we rolling into Madera or what?
Title: Re: The fastback Post by: benssp on April 07, 2007, 14:46:03 pm Looks good on spider mags ;D
Title: Re: The fastback Post by: nicolas on April 07, 2007, 20:12:59 pm hàow i wish my fastback was in stage of finishing. i will be running 8 spokes as well. just got the o-rings from speedwell yesterday. all it needs now is some finetuning on the windows, an complete interiour, wires and lights, and the engine back in; and of course a lot of finetuning, but i am getting there as well.
i have seen the car on the samba and it sure looks good to me. the only question i have is how you get cool air into the carbs with the lid closed. my enginecompartment gets so hot and it suck all the hot air in, not a good thing in my opinion. but i have never had problems so far. but i want to keep it all going. ;) ;) Title: Re: The fastback Post by: Zach Gomulka on April 08, 2007, 00:01:44 am I like the EMPI Spyders better ;)
Title: Re: The fastback Post by: Bryan67 on April 08, 2007, 02:25:12 am My Fastback runs just fine with everything shut. And I definately vote for the Cosmics.
Title: Re: The fastback Post by: speedwell on April 08, 2007, 08:38:19 am just got the o-rings from speedwell yesterday. ;D ;D.. ;)regards fabian Title: Re: The fastback Post by: The Ideaman on May 03, 2007, 16:48:00 pm Car won best custom type 3 in Mad-town.

Title: Re: The fastback Post by: nicolas on May 03, 2007, 17:48:17 pm looks good. i amnot a very big fan of lightblue, but it somehow works nice with those rims.
btw i am still figuring out if i should run upright bumperguards or not... i think i will because i will hopefully get the bumperbars... but please give some ideas about it. i am still making up my mind on this. |
