Title: December Hot VW's Post by: Sarge on October 25, 2008, 12:48:32 pm Just showed up in the mailbox last night. Bobby Welker's '67 Ghia has a nice feature inside. This car was at Bug In 33 and she's a beauty. The engine is a Pat Downs built, 217hp 2332. Nice Job!! 8) 8) 8)

Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: 2manytoys on October 25, 2008, 17:37:01 pm I just got the issue too and it is PACKED with stuff. The ghia is a beaut, but I am a little partial to the 54 on page 52. I know, bone stock, but Judson'd helps. I also like the CNC bracket CB by Jaycee and the European Bug-in coverage.
Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: Rennsurfer on October 26, 2008, 13:37:51 pm As usual, I'm late to the party... HAHA!! I just got the Nov. '08 issue. The only reason I bought it was 'cause my friend's Notch' is featured. The car that SHOULD have taken first place at The Classic. Oh well... whaddya gonna do? It's voter choice and not experienced car judges.
;D I haven't seen the Dec. issue yet. I live my life in SAE 30wt. oil... verrry slow and always last. It's better that way. I love my dial up connection and Commodore 64, too. Good times. Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: dirk zeyen on October 26, 2008, 15:57:34 pm nice ghia, what is the trick with that fan shroud? cooling an external oil-cooler?
if it is, not a bad idea... dirk zeyen Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: Sarge on October 26, 2008, 16:22:44 pm nice ghia, what is the trick with that fan shroud? cooling an external oil-cooler? if it is, not a bad idea... dirk zeyen That's a DTM fan shroud from Raby's Aicooled Technology http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/store/product.php?productid=16133&cat=0&page=1 Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: dirk zeyen on October 26, 2008, 16:52:32 pm thanks sarge!!!

Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: 48IDA66 on October 26, 2008, 22:42:25 pm Yes, its not look that nice.... ;)
Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: TheNick80 on October 26, 2008, 22:48:23 pm I was lucky enough to see this car go together, it is beautiful inside and out. (Makes me nervous just being around it.) On top of that its freakin fast!
Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: Bryan67 on October 27, 2008, 03:57:15 am Yes, I`ve known Bobby for a long time. His paint skills are extraordinary. Did you guys notice the injection setup on it?
Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: danny gabbard on October 27, 2008, 05:00:22 am Saw the car at bug-in, And yes it is a bitchen car , nice paint to!
Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: Bewitched666 on October 28, 2008, 13:05:46 pm Nice car indeed,my issue will arrive next week in holland
Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: bugnut68 on October 28, 2008, 19:49:26 pm thanks sarge!!! but 559 dollar is much money...but i like the idea. will build something like that by myself ;) dirk zeyen Hope you have a lot of time and dollars set aside for research, because Mr. Raby has invested a ton of both in making it work as well as it does! ;D Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: bugnut68 on October 28, 2008, 19:51:15 pm I didn't even get to see the car show at Bug In 33, I was so busy walking around the swap/dealer displays and watching drag racing. That was my only complaint about the Bug In, it's so darned big it's really hard to see everything. Maybe next year I'll take a pit bike with me ;D
As for the new Hot VWs, great issue. I've always been a big fan, but given where I currently live it's my lifeline to the VW scene; that, and the internet. Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: dirk zeyen on October 30, 2008, 20:47:41 pm hello bugnut,
the one piece design is a good idea, you can build yourself easy ;D, will see what i can do dirk zeyen Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: bugnut68 on October 30, 2008, 21:47:27 pm hello bugnut, the one piece design is a good idea, you can build yourself easy ;D, will see what i can do dirk zeyen I wasn't talking about the basic external design, but rather the design of the shroud's function. A lot of research went into making that shroud work as well as it does (from the cooling perspective) from what I understand. Title: Re: December Hot VW's Post by: dirk zeyen on October 30, 2008, 22:05:50 pm the one piece design is not only external design!!!
i don't like the look but the ideas of this shroud!!! the oil-cooling system is very interresting!!! |
