Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: Bewitched666 on March 05, 2009, 08:06:28 am I have all the specs on the car in a Hot vw's mag,great car and even nicer engine ;D
Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: BeetleBug on March 05, 2009, 08:52:38 am Now we`re talking, this is my kind of a street car! A car that you`re a little afraid to drive on the roads is the car that bring the biggest smiles on my face. Should say WARNING on the key.
:) Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: nicolas on March 05, 2009, 11:09:50 am i can't understand the fuss about this car (how it looks). it doesn't have that 'it' to it. the performance may be another story though...

Well done Nicolas, you just discovered what the fuss is about; FORM AND FUNCTION BEFORE BEAUTY!

I disagree completely! For me it does have the "It" factor - even though some of the details aren't to my tastes, the whole being greater than the sum of the parts creates something awesome. I'm not keen on full chrome trim, I don't like yellow letters on the tyres, I prefer anodised alloys to polished and I'm not even that struck on the colour, but on this car it really works and Shawn has created a car that is pretty close to my dream VW! :D Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: JS on March 05, 2009, 12:46:08 pm Way too narrow front beam(or wheels?) for my taste, otherwise a truly great looking car with awesome performance!

Well done Nicolas, you just discovered what the fuss is about; FORM AND FUNCTION BEFORE BEAUTY! true, very true. but then i have to say SSB. not this car and not random callookers. callook was less is more... but you do have a good filosophy. ;D Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: Bewitched666 on March 06, 2009, 08:08:45 am Shawn's car is mostly engine ;D

To get the full effect and appreciation of the car, it has to be seen in person. The great photos are nice, but really don't come close to it's insane detail. Street car? as much as any of the last year DRKC contender cars. They were detailed to the 9's with SS or similar motors...man that was fun!
Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: Mirko DVKK on March 08, 2009, 22:12:01 pm This vid has race footage of the car at around the 4:40 mark... enjoy.

I love the fact that this car is Street weight, Street Driven, Street Exhaust (No Stinger) but can still pull wheelies and run those insane times! Just fits all the criteria for me 8) Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: OrangeCountyLook on March 10, 2009, 11:06:35 am Like this car a lot, since I got some back issues of Hot VW's I can't stop watching that article. I realy like that "deep" nose down stance, and engine. Only don't like the interior colour...
One movie... http://www.dragracingtv.com/vw/misc/vw-drag-racing-shawn-geers-drkc.html Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: WCB Hitler's Hot Rod on March 12, 2009, 05:55:35 am Nice!
Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: bedjo78 on January 14, 2018, 10:53:10 am How possible fitted 96.5 piston kit into mag case with std stud pattern? I just rough measured the cross distance of the insterts was just 97 mm + . might not using stud inserts ?

Start with no stud fixings and machine / weld it for a larger bore. I have a 101.6mm case done this way. Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: stealth67vw on January 24, 2018, 17:02:39 pm The hotVWs article said mag case. Geers probably did the old Super Street cylinders where the case is bored to piston size and the cylinder sits on the case deck without protruding into tyhe case. It is kept in location by dowel pins. I believe JayCee was the first to do this to get a piston larger than 94 within the type 1 head stud pattern required by PRA S/S rules.
Title: Re: Shawn Geers Car Post by: bedjo78 on January 26, 2018, 01:35:02 am I think this is easiest way to do. Bit steel require good machine shop
