It is 10 centi degrees and I poors rain from day till dawn.......It is very dark and you can hardly see your hand in front of you when you get out there.................... ;D

Well I guess the motor is more of your concern: displacement is 78mm*103.65mm....48mm*40mm valves and a port equall to 43 mm in diameter but oval shaped, heart shaped combustion chambers.......11.15:1 compression ratio........260 deg at .050" and .570" lift........1 7/8" exhaust and 2 1/2" apple street racing mega silent muffer.....50.8 (that is 2") IDA with 45 vents...........................sort of a basic street engine........I have 091 box with GB 600 kit, 310/1.92/1.26/0.89 gears and a 4.86 R/P....ohh a ZF LSD and I modified the rear end to IRS and moved in the trailing arms a bit to make the gasburnes work well in the wells...................................Yeah,least but not to be forgotten. I am putting a stereo on it to transform my ex street car in to a race car!!!

Congratulations SOB... what's it called? And what's its relationship to "Simple Simon"?
I didn't get that about the stereo... but that was to be expected... I've seen your car on a trailer... so I knew your car was a racer...  what throws me of is that I haven't seen BeetleBug car on a trailer... yet...  maybe he has just lacked the right towing vehicle?

Im fitting a stereo now... I don't want to be the only guy with a stinking street car....

Simple Simon was a nitrous assisted motor (1990 - 2001)......and my new engine combo was dubbed "Little John" and the gear box "Brother Tuck"....All in the spirit of steeling from the rich and give to the poor.......they give me a lot fun, so you bet my role :) Crank, rods and cylinders has surrvived since 1990...........Spirir is the same of the owner so who knows....they might be as fast as they were these two combos!!!!

Trailers.......................yeah they are for boats........................How far away from a trailer can a race car be and still be called a race car and not a street car!!!??? :o

Trailers are for living, at least that is what your kids said when I called you last time.  ;D
