Title: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: nicolas on March 14, 2007, 08:29:16 am
hey

just wanted to post this to at least share it with someone.

yesterday i came home from work an d ws a bit bummed because my girl and little boy were not going to be home today.

but i found  a big heavy box insted on the doorstep.

a big box filled with my dms crank, flywheel, and rods. all things that make me a very happy guy today. especially after going to ninove this weekend and seeing some nice cars there. it will not be an engine this summer yet but i will be working on it and hopefully i will make it into a nice setup by next year.

thanks for listening  ;D

I love parcels waiting for me when I get home. Sometimes I get them sent to work, and once my colleagues left a parcel full of old dealer frames in a filing cabinet and waited for me to open it ;-) They dont quite get it, but I was certainly happy!

Si.

...Cool seat you have now Matt,Doorpanel from Berni?...

Yeah, see you next week. I talked to Bernie a while back but since we didn't have seats we couldn't do much. Now though we can get it started. I don't like the idea of having card in a car so much so I think we're going to use a modern material for the panels and then cover it over if it can be made to work. Going to have the rear seat redone too, it'll look pretty close to stock hopefully, but not quite. Time to work out the details I guess...

Have to say the quality of the seats and the fittings are top. Going to have to do the same to the '63 funds permitting.

 I always ship my parts to the US with global priority service, and I actually thought my shifter would be shipped with global priority as well.
 Slight miscommunication. I would have been glad to pay the little extra as well, because I'm also a very "impatient" person. ;D

Thanks :) Its the motor in my GTV. I added the Santana pulley and the 010 I rebulit, but not re-painted (it now has a NOS brown cap, too). The sender was there when I bought the car, thankfully!!! Plan is to find a EMPI header and muffler and install it along with EMPI "Ram Induction Kit" (single Zenith NDIX, etc). Ill pull the motor then and detail and dyno tune it- I have good reason to belive that it has never been out of the car.

The stock motor with the 34 PICT and vacuum advance drove much better before the 010 install, but I can live with the hesitation ;) The 010 just looks too cool!!! ;D

About the fuel pump... unfortunatly I had to replace it with a Brazilian one :( Correct me if Im wrong but, the later pumps are non rebuildable, correct?  If that is the case, Im looking for a NOS German fuel pump. I hate looking at that Brazilian crap in there.

I'm glad you like it, Jordy.  That particular shifter has gone 13.84 at 99mph at the old Tucson Dragway.  I was trying to figure out how to pay both you and Johnny and still eat next week.  Sure hope his stuff shows up soon.

Wouldn't surprise me.  They have lost a NOS ARPM Generator stand of mine.

Just waiting for my NOS Empi Fan belt for Power Pulley to turn up.  Should fit nicely round the DDS pulley :)

I'm glad you like it, Jordy.  That particular shifter has gone 13.84 at 99mph at the old Tucson Dragway.  I was trying to figure out how to pay both you and Johnny and still eat next week.  Sure hope his stuff shows up soon.

No worries man, already installed  ;)
Thanks a lot!

 Haha... I did the same... right when I got it... ;D

 Those things are bad value for the buck btw... The thing fitted perfect right away, it only gave me 10 minutes of pleasure installing it... :(
 So I went for a little cruise to enjoy the thing a little more... :)
 It shifts sublime!!!

Cool spindles!  What diameter are they?  Where did you find the brakes and are the rims magnesium?  I had a set of American 15" 12 spokes on my rail for a while, the Halibrands I still have stashed (polished both sides but obviously in need of MAJOR elbow grease!)

hey Sarge.....they're the 18" re-makes by Radir,  they're aluminium.

the brakes i got from Total performance, stainless rotors & polished wilwood calipers... ( www.tperformance.com) in the USA  (wallingford CT)

they specialise in T-buckets & rods but they have a lot of bits and pieces that are usefull and the dude that runs it, Brian is the most helpfull guy i've EVER dealt with.

those halibrands look very cool... :)

Yes, this setup is going in to Four Play. I guess it will be very similar to the engine you ran last year.

I'm going down to JPM at the 20 th. april for tuning, chasing your 228 hp ;-)     


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: Roman on April 04, 2007, 18:06:44 pm
That shouldn't be impossible! JPM thought it might be some more hidden horsepower but we were too exhausted to do any more. Whats the combo? Similar to mine (2387 w FK-89)?

Ex- skater here too!  I started in 86 on a Schmitt Stix Jeff Gorosso board.  I then had a John Lucero Schmitt Stix, and then a slew of boards that I broke there after.  But I still have my Santa Cruz Steve Alba board for pool skating (tracker trucks and OJ II's.)  I can't say that I've been on a board for skating in over 5 years though.  I'd love to get back into some carving session in a pool again though!

yes pauter. i am planning a 84x94 engine for the fastback. something that will make it live up to it's name. but it's still a long way. i have an 84 DMS crank and now rods. but no heads yet or pistons and cylinders. but i guess it will be for next year. it costs a lot and i need to save to buy the stuff i really want.

I didn't get it in the mail, but I picked them up at a recent swap meet. Three new VDO gauges in their boxes. The oil pressure gauge turned out to be mechanical but who cares? They cost me a total of $33 or 25 EUR... the one on the left I got for free some years ago... I Just had to promise not to fit it into a 911.... so far so good  ;D

You got that right Shubee!

But JeePee has a point as well, perhaps you can see that the "j-pipes" run underneath the cylinders instead of the heads.
Hence the cylindertin that starts at the rear and runs underneath the pushrods tubes doesn't fit due to the j-pipe part.
Does anyone know whether this will be much of a problem - most likely in terms of heat...

(sorry for temporarely hijacking the thread)

I had bought a set of grills from Germany a few months ago (yellow ones) but when I got them thety were not what I really wanted they are a stock grill which the weld a ring on the outside of it  nice piece but I did not like the way the Grill bars  ended at the gauge end it looks unfinished  Grumpy's are the Way to Go!!! they are the bare steel ones in the pictures compare the bars

$115 for a single. 10 or more and the price drops "significantly" what ever that means.

Like this one??

Yeah, just like that one. I am going to talk with him more and see if he can set up the trim too. (Keeping the spear and shaving everything else. ) Right now I am thinking tach on the left, stock speedo, gas on the right and oil temp, oil pressure and volts where the radio used to be. Radio hole will be filled in. I think it will be a nice clean look.

He seems to do nice work. I may send him my replacement rear apron and have the exhaust holes filed.

When I asked him about doing the 2 hole speaker side he told me a $100.00 or if I bought ten it would be $50.00 each I told him What will I do with ten of them? I told him I thought there was a Market for them And Got him to Make the Speaker side he charged me $50.00 + $5.00 shipping for the speaker side and $30.00 + $5.00 shipping for the fuel side I Got The First two Sets  He Made  what kind of tach are you going to use?

Yeah, too bad it is only a two page spread. It looks to have a nice plaid interior but no good shots of it.

I plan to run all VDO gauges. Looking at the series 1 line. Simple and classic look. Tach is 3 3/8 dia.

I Had John at Grumpys Metal Fab Make This One up I told him after seeing the right side he was making that he needed to make the left side. I had Bought a set of gauge panels from germany but they were made from a stock grill  and were 2 piece The One's On Samba Are One Piece and Are Made really Nice he made them to fit 67 and older dashes so you dont have a gap around the panel like you do on after market panels I am not sure if the will fit 68 and later with a dash pad..   I bought two Sets  Since they are all hand made you never know how long or how many will be made..  here is his website http://www.grumpysmetal.com/index.html     He Also Dose VW Only RUST REPAIR and will take on any custom metal project but I can tell you He is good and you get what you Pay for if you talk to John Tell him Gary From Texas Sent you!! lol  Look at the wanted section in the Lounge under dash grills you can see other pictures and styles he also is selling them on Samba http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=452156

Thats an easy fix put the door on the car an use a 10 MM nut the type like bolt the motor in with the 17 mm wrench size open the door and stick it in between the two hinge halfs try to close the door but dont force it it will move on its own you might have to do it two or three times to get it straight then if the door is dented in front of the hinge you will have to get that from the inside once the hinge is back where it belongs

I like that decklid. Still thinking of making a metal version for the '67. Those engine turned accessories would look really good against a dark blue color. There is a Mercedes blue that is almost black that would set it off nicely. Like a dark navy blue.

Post by: stealth67vw on September 07, 2007, 04:18:33 am
those head sure look familiar..... ::)

hey man, what do think about a W130 in your motor?


Remember that picture you drew of me and April on the dry erase board when we lived on Heather, then I added all those numbers in the "day dream bubbles", symbols, degrees, cam grind numbers, mathematic formula's, engine cc's, gear ratios, 1/4 mile times, different bores and strokes, rocker ratios, cam grinders, head flow numbers, venturi sizes, exhaust sizes, valve sizes, runner lengths, muffler sizes, timing retards, etc, etc. Well anyway, I'm thinking like that again. To make matters worse, I'm now a real machinist and sometimes I day dream about all these numbers and screw up a few parts by typing in the wrong numbers, going to the wrong reference numbers, etc.

Anyway, a W130 with VW 1.25s sounds like a plan. I may just stick an 86c in it and put a close 3rd and 4th being that I only drive the car on the freeway once or twice a month.

Post by: stealth67vw on September 07, 2007, 05:04:05 am
I really liked it. Very crisp but still peaky. How easy was it on springs and guides? I really don't want to replace the springs every other oil change. That is my fear with the FK-45. I'm seriously considering going to beehives or LS1 springs. LS1 springs are 1.26" OD and 1.75" installed height, so I would need .200" longer valves and a clean up cut to the spring pockets. Stock diameter springs are 1.24".

Is that a Select-a-drop?  I haven't seen one of those in  25 years. They suck!  works best if you use it as a paperweight.

I hope they're not travelling with Parcel Farce, they're what the series Lost was based on. For them 'not far away' is a similar state as the entity known as 'tomorrow'! It would be a tragic end for a pair of rims*.

 :D


*Though there are too many of them and they have got boring. :P

Haha, no I really don't wanna go there again, so parcel fArce no thank you.
Just checked the tracking and they finally cleared customs and will hopefully be in my hands tomorrow!

I know theese fuchs rims are very "trendy" but they have been a long dream for me to put on my split window. I did contemplate if I should put ercos on it though after purchasing that for my daily driver. I really really liked the way they look.. but suddenly I came over theese and I'm very happy about them :-) even if they have got boring  ::)

I think there are a few typo's. It also claims to have 32.5 inch exhaust valves ;) Im sure they were 48 idas. 185hp sounds about right considering it had 12.5:1.

it's christmas, but earlier. this year i think we wont have many presents under the tree. mainly because there will be no money left to buy presents... but boy do i feel happy.

1. picked up the goodies Kobus brought from the UK
    a set of empi 8 spokes
    a set of 1.4 rockers
    a nice pile of vwtrends magazines

what a great thing that was,

2. picked up our Vespa as well today

   a PX125 in white with windscreen and protective chrome bars. (if you dont know what i am talking about, think of a nicely   
   accessorized cal-look, not too much, not resto cal. )

And the VW shop next door donated 2 used (but very nice!) 165 XZX's to replace mine on the rear! :) The original spare wheel and tire (never used) will go on the shelf.

Joe, nice collection of Empi wheels there! I'm going to need some of the hardware for mine soon, as I've not got a complete set of inserts. They don't look too difficult to make, and there is a little engineering shop next door to my unit. I probably won't get any made until after christmas, so if you need any, let me know.

Slowly checking things off the "to do list". Got another chrome 4.5" EMPI Sprint in the other day, just needs a clean up, paint detail (my favorite), and another Michelin 145 XZX. And the VW shop next door donated 2 used (but very nice!) 165 XZX's to replace mine on the rear! :) The original spare wheel and tire (never used) will go on the shelf.

Got a call from Kathy from Berg yesterday about my shifter order. Seems they forgot to polish the t-handle I ordered and it would be several weeks before they will make another run. So now I am getting a Berg 5 shifter w/ one of those early finger grip handles they have on the Samba.  ;D

Now I just need the five speed tranny to go under it.  ;)

I think you are right, it is bigger.  The ball is 2 1/4 inches in diameter.  It is also much heavier than I would have imagined.

If I had one of the 5 in. O-Bergs I would buy a couple of extra screens as they have been difficult to find in the past.  I only have the 6 in. size so I have never had a problem finding them although they are pricey.  Sounds like a good deal on the screens and the filters to me!

i got my Kennedy stage2 clutch plate and Daiken super disc,

also a fantastic book...."Fuel and Guts, the birth of top fuel drag racing."

i'd highly recommend it, great stories from back in the day and amazing photography, quite a lot by Jere alhadeff.

i also got in the (e)mail confirmation from my engine builder that he's ready to start building my 2276.

maybe i'll be on the road in 2008!?

They are in good state, but they were repainted in black with a brush  :-\

I know that's they will look best in original satin black and epoxy grey, but how can I restore them? I don't know paint which can give the same finish as the original factory treatment.

I talked with Tim on Monday.  He was suppose to stop bye in the evening after work, but got busy.  I asked about yours and he said they needed polishing.  He has been too busy to make it bye the polisher.  We agreed that he would bring stuff to me and I would take it to the polisher during the day.  I haven't seen yours yet, but I will be talking to him this weekend.  Tom, am I right, yours are the hex variety?  Hopefully we can get them polished next week and then get them sent.

some nice M8 nuts for 10mm wrench with flange.They will help mounting mainfolds and exhaust.

hey georg tell me more about that oil pressure relief if you will... type 3 stuff. still looking for better cooling and oiling systems
nicolas

Hey Nicolas, here you can find out more about the oil relief adapter (NEWS):
http://www.csp-shop.de/cgi-bin/shop/shop_main.cgi?func=start&wkid=88605725056 (http://www.csp-shop.de/cgi-bin/shop/shop_main.cgi?func=start&wkid=88605725056)

And it goes in the first oil relief (Pulley side), not in the second as said... With this part you don`t need to drill your case for the full flow inlet (if you are using no orig. cooler)

Oooh, I wonder if that means mine might be on the way too! I sure hope so!

tom kettle.

I talked with Tim on Monday.  He was suppose to stop bye in the evening after work, but got busy.  I asked about yours and he said they needed polishing.  He has been too busy to make it bye the polisher.  We agreed that he would bring stuff to me and I would take it to the polisher during the day.  I haven't seen yours yet, but I will be talking to him this weekend.  Tom, am I right, yours are the hex variety?  Hopefully we can get them polished next week and then get them sent.

Don

Hey Don,

Yep, you are correct, mine are the Hex variety. There is absolutely no rush at all for them though so please don't inconvenience yourself on my behalf, the car is a very long way from needing them!

Thanks again for your efforts!

Tom.

It sounded to me like it was a done deal...we'll see.


I got "stranded" at a show thanks to my forgetfulness one year. Not that the 6 pack had anything to do with it,

None of us have ever done that one sarge! Especially not me!!  ;D

I did that at Nicks once in my buddy's car! Somehow it actually ran enough for me to move it into another parking spot ::) but it sure was a bit tempermental once we pulled the covers ... cough, cough, BANG!  :D

Anyway, just got these in... like beautiful jewelry :)

The Reece fish carbs simplicity is legendary! It has no jets as such and is completely adjustable by screws.
The original claim was improved performance with better mpg!

Google Reece fish, there is alot of good sites with how they work.

I thought the same thing for years... I finally logged on in December of '04 because there was a set of Cosmic wheels that I needed to have. That transaction went smoothly, and since then most of the rest have as well. It's not always expensive either... Ive been very lucky a few times with "Buy it now".... a pair of EMPI chrome gas shocks for $65 shipped (later put them back on ebay and they sold for $362), and the EMPI GT wheel that is on my car now for $225 shipped. There are great deals to be found, you just have to keep your eyes open. I for one, couldnt live without it :)

i gotta agree with you Zach,   for us european guys its a vital source for stuff that we just cant find over here. or if you can find it it's often at inflated prices, after someone else has bought it over from the states and then put their own mark-up on it.
in over 50 transactions i've only had one go wrong on ebay.
i've been fucked over once on thesamba, and once from someone who participates on this forum  ::)....in about 10 transactions total.

so for me ebay has been much more dependable.

Those Enkei wheels have a lot of positive offset. The tires look good... if it would give you enough room, I would have the pads machined down some on the backsides of the wheels.

Didn't get it in the mail, but from my best friend of 36 years. A set of freshly chromed factory '67 rear overriders.

(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Cars/67Overriders41208.jpg)

After attending Cars & Coffee in Irvine, we got a call and was asked to stop by to see him on the way home. Made my weekend.


Cool score... but from that angle you can hard see what makes them  different!  ;)

True... next time I have the car outta the garage, I'll get a better angle. Trust me, they're way different. Thank God I don't have those 90º Brazilian ones any longer. Where they meet the bumper looks WAAAY better and correct, now. The car came with two full sets of bumpers. The set that was off of the car was just plated. So, I put that one on after I bought the car. The previous owner thought that the black plastic grommets had to match the back ones, so he added 'em on the front bumper. I was extremely pleased to find out that the front overrider was German and re-plated about a year back when I removed the grommets. Now the exterior is finally done. Next, this week, the exhaust. Can't wait.

I think they look great too!
I managed to get a pair of NOS rails off ebay a few years ago.... the left side still has the VW decal on it albeit a little faded now.
To me, the pre'67 ones just look wrong now....

mate found this for me in a scrap car in japan last Saturday

asked if i am interested in it as he knows i like to collect Hurst shifters, but this have FLAT 4 on the trigger.

This is the second time i see such shifter and to my knowledge, i dont think Flat4 has ever made a shifter like this.....so i agreed to buy it over.....USD65...not a good price over here in this part of the world  :-\

sent Flat4 an email and got reply from Tajima-San of Flat4 that they DID make the shifter and now parts by EMPI, he said they made it before, not much other details given by them, confusing i know....

will try to post more pics later

www.hookyspanelshop.com by the looks of them (and the title of the picture).

All Steve's panels are excellent quality, and from using them myself I'd go as far as to say they're unbeatable...!!

As gibber said they are Hooky's panels, I actually got them off a guy in Ireland who decided to sell up, so they were a bargain.  I think they retail for about £25 each.

Cool score... but from that angle you can hard see what makes them  different!  ;)

While my older son was editing videos for his PhotoShop/Video Editing class on my computer, my younger son and I went out and drove the '67, yesterday. I'm following him here, on my skateboard, while he drove. Anyway, here's one of the out-take shots... but, Rick, there's a better angle of the correct rear overriders for ya.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Cars/Driving41908bw.jpg)

He tells his Mom that he's gonna get a daily driver car (either an old Volvo or BMW like my cars) then, later, build a Cal Looker Bug and go with me to Cruise Nights and other events. His Mom says to him, "NO way... cruising is illegal and dangerous." HAHAHA!!! I couldn't stop laughing. My boys have been skateboarding and surfing with me since I taught 'em when they were old enough to walk. And she's worried about hanging out at Cruise Night?

At any rate, I'm stoked that my boys dig Cal Look Bugs. The next generation will make sure that the tradition lives on, thankfully.

Unfortunately, they're out of production. They were made by Jada Toys in both corded and cordless versions. I got this one on Evil Bay.

I'm debating if I should us it or keep it in its package.

Now if I had some tiny BRMs I could put on it!  ;D

because they're not native here they're classed as a foreign species or something?

Well, not exactly in the mail... but A-1 Performance Exhaust Systems finished my setup and I picked it up this morning. It'll be coupled to a pair of 1½" flanged Pro heaterboxes that Tiger sells, there. Way lighter than the factory boxes and more exhaust flow.
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Misc%20Stuff/A1ExhaustSystem50508.jpg)
To each their own, but I never understood why performance engines have to lose their heating systems when being used on the street. Can't wait to make some time and bolt this stuff on my car. Thanks, Tiger, for the quality craftsmanship and stellar system!

Not especially interesting I suppose, but I got these allen headed stainless bolts and washers for my wings - I'm going to be running a set of day mouldings wings and the bolt holes are nice and tigt so the small washers will fi perfectly. I paid £5.00 for enough bolts and washers to do 4 wings, my bonnet and a few more in case I lose a few.

One? Looks like you scored more than one. That's GREAT! I've always wanted Zotz, too. Haven't had those since the mid '70s. Say... that's a neat looking shifter, too.

Naw, the handle's backwards.

Ahh... perhaps that's the reason they threw in the shifter with the Zotz. It must be made for a horseless carriage, yes? I think they traveled on the wrong side of the road, so it would make sense.

Don't blame me... John started it.

P.S. Zots are great! I often have one before I go for a run, i'm pretty sure there is no sugar hit like it!

I am pretty sure they belonged to Geno Combs before Paul Mayeda, I don't have any pictures of the red bus, but I remember riding down St. College in it by Angelo's with my head  out the sunroof probably 25 yrs ago. Paul used to have a 5th BRM in the spare tire well inside.  Pretty bitchen'     Sorry I can't play   Bill

It's a Scirroco II GT, wasn't really a fan off them untill I drove this one.
Great car, just have to repair the seat rail... and it was free.
Got it off someone I didn't know and telephoned me about the value. Told him it is worth about 1500€.
Then he said if you want you can come and pick it up for free  :o strange rich people  ::) :D

Yep! Way too many goodies to list... noticed all of that. I'm gonna keep an eye out for an upcoming issue of Hot VWs. Seriously... that would be cool if they actually did an article on it. Change things up a bit.

AH-HAHAHA!!! Good one.

C'mon, carpeted interior door frames, steering wheel, and safety handle (over glovebox)... what's not to like? It's probably so quiet in that cabin, you'd hardly hear the engine. GOOD STUFF! Get that thing running. Put a huge good running powerplant underneath all of that and blow minds at the track and on the street. DO IT.

Hey Mr. Speedwell first of all nice collection!!

Secondly I notice you have a BRM key ring in the background. What is the history behind it, as I picked one exactly the same from an OCTO meet whilst on vacation in SoCal. I have never seen another one like it until now, are they rare??!! ;)

Paul

do they have pins in the key to tighten the inner part of the lock?

Post by: ian c on July 13, 2008, 00:51:09 am
yeah , they like the newer porsche locks , but once you have them on and have taken the "key" away an alloy wheel nut screws on !!
so unless you get real close , you cant tell theyre lockers :)

there is a wierd thing that goes down the middle of the "key" , it looks like i will have to carry a spanner to get the "key" off once the lock is in place ??

The key has a series of pins that fit into the holes on the threaded "washers." You screw the washers down using this key and then put the nuts over them.

i understand what your saying , thats like a "normal" porsche locker (i think mcgard make them for porsche .

but mine have an extra part .... threaded like it must screw onto the stud aswell .

i cant describe it , will have to take pics  ::)

these two parts are what stay on the car . the lock , and the nut that covers it ....

(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x216/iancross182/SP_A0180.jpg)

and this is how it looks on the wheel ...

(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x216/iancross182/SP_A0179.jpg)

the rest of the pix are of the 3 pieces needed to fit/remove the small lock part ...

(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x216/iancross182/SP_A0176.jpg)

you can see the thread inside the silver part .
i'm thinking the silver part screws onto the bolt , and turns in the lock part too , then i remove the silver part with a spanner , and slide off the key part ??

can see why i cant just forget about the silverpart and just have a lock , and a key like normal lockingnuts ???

Not really - they were made a few years ago and you could buy them through Karmann Konnection and at most swapmeets. Nothing to do with Speedwell or EMPI... :)

The Silver part is only used to hold the key in place while you tighten the first part of the lock witch holds the wheel then remove the silver part and key and screw on the second part of the nut. the silver part is used to hold the key in tight so you dont sheer off the pins hope this helps ;D

crazy idea !!
why not just make a 1 piece key ??
so i was right , you do have to mess about with a spanner , or trying to fit the wheelwrench on a 3mm nut  ::)

And... a fuel pressure reg/filter that looks very similar to some vintage Porsches (i.e. 356 4 cam), made out of magnesium... very period looking unit made in Italy, built in pressure gauge in psi and bar
This is a completely worthless post with out pictures  >:(

Johnny.... here is a pic of the regulator I found on Web..... happy now?

No I hadn't,  do you have a link? The last time I looked at seats I ended up going down the BF Torino route as they have the right period look and had head rests which appealed for various reasons. For the car they're going in they were ideal but I'm thinking of changing mine at some point so I'd be interested to see what else is on the market.

Not all of them, but most. It is basically a general guide to Solex carbs and how they tick, rather than a comprehensive breakdown on each carb. Should come in handy when I screw them on the GTV :)

Good eye!!! Close, it's the Yankee version on the Sierra, a 1985 Merkur XR4Ti, with a few genuine (and a few fake) Sierra Cosworth bits. It is my boss' car. It sports a built 2.3L 8v turbo motor with an aluminium head, Mustang T5, 15x7 Panasports, Koni suspension, ect. It is a really sweet car, and a rocket to boot. I was actually featured in European Car back in 1996.

Part of me has always liked accessories, and this car allows me to fill that void ;) I don't see it as spoiling it at all- When I'm driving the 250 miles back from Vegas late Sunday night after the Bug-In next month, I'll be able to see much better 8)  Also, the installation that I have planned will look completely factory, and I still haven't done anything to the car that isn't very easily undone.

This car is my daily driver, and I'll do just about anything to enhance the driving experience, as long as it is period correct, tasteful, and I can convince myself that it could have been done 'back in the day'! :D

Zach, I like those. I think they'll look cool. I used to run big 7" round Hella driving lights on my front bumper on my '67 because I drove the hell out of it (fast) at night. the little H4 Marchal's on my car were not up to the job. Now I am at home at night, doing other things, hence no more driving lights. I hate resto cal crap too, safety stars and all the deflectors and that crap... but better lighting is a good thing. And they fit the lines of your car. Nice.

- a very nice set off 185/70/15 vredestein tires for the type3 and it even looks like everything fits and no short axles are needed... that is good. so i am one step closer to the ulitmate dream off turing this car into the green machine  ;D ;D ;D ;)

SKAT TRAKs! Finally found what look to be a decent set thanks to DHood. They have been mildly ported but I think they are still okay. I am sure if UD can make an entire head out of aluminum welding rod, reworking these should be no problem for him.  ;D

That's cool that C.B. Performance is stocking those shrouds. Has anyone ever seen a Puma with alloys and a built engine? That would be a nice ride. Is the wheelbase factory, or shortened? Be a fun project car and, for sure, unique. Not many of those on the roads... at least in So Cal. Where I'm guessing most 'em ended up, outside of Brazil, of course.

i have got a nice box full off very nice goodies!!!!

in the box were:

- one set off 42DCNF berg specials with short berg manifolds (very clean carbs, only the pivotarms were bent, but shafts and carbs are straight and all nice. cleaned them up roughly and they will come out very nice) the manifolds will need a bit more work to be cleaned, but again nothing major. these babies are almost bolt-ons.
- one CSP linkage for porschecooling
- one set off filters (these CAN'T come from Arizona, as they are clogged with dirt and mud. these are going to be soaked for days i guess
- one workshop manual/book for type3 with the best cover a book could have (i'll post a pic later) and this was a very nice gift as well.

all thanks to Zach, i told him to ship his stock to europe, that way it would be easier to go through it.  ;D

The pivot arms got bent?! On the carbs, or do you mean the linkage rods from the bell crank to the carbs?? Post a pic please, if you could.
Those filters did come from AZ... my friend borrowed the car for a year while I was away at school, and I'm afraid he didn't take much care of it :-\ They will clean up easy though with some degreaser and a hose.
I thought you might like that book :) It used to be my fathers. Makes you want to get a Formula Vee car and a bunch of vintage race stickers :)


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?

the linkage rods. the shafts are perfect. i put on some white grease and all works perfect. the linkage rods interfered with the carb and i guess they were switched or bent after they got off the car (maybe transport) however no big worries, it all can be fixed. and one is allready cleaned up and working fine.
as for your friend, never give him the keys off the GTV, he'll turn it into a baja.  ;D i always try to handle things on loan better then my own stuff. but the filters are taking up swimming lessons as we speak.
and yes the book, awesome drawing that makes you dream. maybe not all dream, but we'll see how everyting works out. many thanks for that extra one and also for the special coolingtrim for the carbs.

Yes the cooling tins... I forgot to mark those, but they are (at least they were on my motor) side specific. You should be able to tell which one goes where though, they fit very tightly :)

You can get them ALOT cheaper than that  :o Try electrical wholesalers - My friend Gav (G77) found a cool store online a while back and got some really col bits and pieces just like this - I will get a link for you guys  :)

I almost forgot to mention this little beauty! I CAN NOT BELIEVE I FOUND THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I already had one of these COOL Race Trim Air boxes for "off roading" and I paid SILLY money for it a while back (black one) And then late last night before I went to bed I thought "I'll have a quick look on ebay" then about an hour later I found THIS! (grey one) a second race trim air box! it wasn't listed very well so at about 5pm today I won it for a grand total $38.00  ;D

Now I have a pair for my new dual carb set up - HOW COOL!?

Zach is correct.  They are from Wolfsburg West.  I think they were $3.35 ea.  They have them in their printed catalog, but I could not find them on their web site.

You can get them ALOT cheaper than that  :o Try electrical wholesalers - My friend Gav (G77) found a cool store online a while back and got some really col bits and pieces just like this - I will get a link for you guys  :)

Lee, any luck with that link?

It seems my Porker Steering wheel was in Ghent last week, but because the lazy sap of TaxiPost didn't like his Grey matter working, it has been sent back to the US. He couldn't find the adress for F*#ks sake.   ???  What is so difficult about looking around for 2 secs?

So if I'm lucky the seller is a nice guy and will send it once more.

I just got a copy of "VW World" magazine, which was a publication of the Northwest VW Association (not to be confused with the Northwest VW Club, still active after 40 years).  Found it on the Samba, I used to have a copy of it.  Really took me back, as it was published in the summer of 1991, back when the VW fever was at an all time high for me... man, them's were the days!

Some things forthcoming in the mail include a set of 90.5 jugs and slugs (only 12,000 miles on them) found on Craigslist for $60 as well as a 40 IDF Weber (Made in Spain) for $75... I'm going to piece me together a set of 40's, bit by bit, maybe use for trading stock down the line if I don't actually run them...;D

I'm putting together a mild sweep the floor 1776 to keep my '70 mobile as I get closer to tearing into my current 1776 to go bigger...

Are the fuel injected cases desirable?  There's a guy about three hours from me that has one line-bored for .020" for $100, just curious if it's worth it?

not all f.i. cases are "filled" by # 3. But if that one is, and it's in good shape, then yes I'd go for it.

Thanks, guys!  The old exhaust flat wore out, so it was time for a change.  As Dave pointed out, the traction bar had to be spaced down to clear the new pipes.  Tiger did the work at A-1 yesterday after an "exciting" drive to work in rush-hour traffic.  As (my rotten ::)) luck would have it, a motorcyclist went down on the freeway and traffic was at a stand-still for a couple of miles >:(.  Glad I got the clutch cable fixed a few weeks back!  The car sounds great :o though I did pull the traction bar off when I got home... not sure if I like the looks of it an inch closer to the ground :-\.

it's the modern era ;D


 ;) :-*


How does it sound? Louder than your old setup? It looks really nice. Put a CSP or Bug-pack brace in there and then get rid of the engine bar.

BARS???  We don't need no stinking BARS!!!  It sounds sweet, Louis... my old set-up had a few holes and sounded pretty ratty.


serge, you must have taken more pics by now, haven't you?  ;)


Ya THINK??? ;D  It's supposed to be sunny and 80 degrees this weekend... a good excuse for more pics ::) ;)


I wish I had a picture of you laying on the ground to take that shot, Sarge... ;D


GTF OUT!! >:(   :-*

Next Wednesday I'm hoping my copy of Keith's new book arrives on my doorstep...I ordered it through amazon.com.uk as I just couldn't wait anymore through Motorbooks.com or the U.S. Amazon counterpart...after reading the review in Hot VWs I'm plenty stoked to read it!

It works great when you're racing on the ¼ mile track... make sure that you're in the left lane, activate the smoke screen that deploys from the exhaust, and leave your competition in the dust/smoke.

Speaking of Cal Look cars, can't wait to see yours on the road. Lemme know if you ever need help with it.

Cool, Ian! We were just talking about that at Nick's, the other night.

Schwimmer's okay with new Beetles... long as the owners are female. But he still calls 'em Rabbits. My older son doesn't llike 'em either. He says that they're chick cars. HAHA!! They'd be cool if they were rear engined.

there are a couple of differentriations , due to all the different versions of jeans editions over the years .
you could even get a kit from vw to make your "ordinary" beetle into a jeans ... this came with "stiching" stripes to put on your car !!

Also... last time that you and I were hangin' out, I noted that you were swilling some sort of U.S. mains(urine)stream weak sauce liquid that was desperately attempting to pose as bier. If that's you're choice, then you've got it. Cheaper for me. HAHAHA!!!

Thanks, guys!  The old exhaust flat wore out, so it was time for a change.  As Dave pointed out, the traction bar had to be spaced down to clear the new pipes.  Tiger did the work at A-1 yesterday after an "exciting" drive to work in rush-hour traffic.  As (my rotten ::)) luck would have it, a motorcyclist went down on the freeway and traffic was at a stand-still for a couple of miles >:(.  Glad I got the clutch cable fixed a few weeks back!  The car sounds great :o though I did pull the traction bar off when I got home... not sure if I like the looks of it an inch closer to the ground :-\.


what's the the pros of this clamp style flange,in comparison to the bolt stly flange?


Two less fasteners to f#@k with??  It's the new rage, baby! 8) 8) 8) ;)

Sarge, I had to do a simular thing with my sidewinder with the traction bar, This is what i came up with. Its the rubber mounted version from bergs.

I got Keith's new book in the mail on Saturday, and was I shocked... I wasn't expecting it until at least Wednesday of this week, so I was pleased as punch! ;D  Not bad considering I ordered a week earlier from www.amazon.com.uk.  On top of that I still saved two bucks from the listed U.S. retail price!

I've read about two thirds of it, and I gotta say it's awesome.  I really like the historical perspective of the times that's included in the chapters.  Really great reading that I'll enjoy again and again.  If I get to head to Bug In 34 this year, I'll have to try and remember to bring it to get it signed...awesome work, Keith, kudos! ;D

Hello Dirk,

No,the engine is not yet even started building for real.Some introductary parts are done,but will have to get the crank/flywheel/clutch fine balanced.I have little free time at the moment so I will leave it for March.

When In got home today, there was a 1971 (I think) EMPI High Performance & Accessory Guide waiting for me. I have wanted one of these for a long time and I'm very happy with my purchase. It's got a lot of great pictures. It will occupy a place of pride on the shelf with my other EMPI stuff, Bug-In jacket and plaques and other pointless VW stuff thatI've collected over the years. Good stuff!

Fabian, congrats on the tires!  I am running them on my ragtop (both tire styles you show in the picture) and they look the part...........just remember that they are a tube tire only.  Lots of talcum powder in the tire when you mount them.

I think you'll find they are 215/65 just like Mike Billings 67  -Am I right Mr FastBrit  ??? :)

As far as I can remember from my days restoring Ferrari's I think the 215's were fitted as standard to Ferrari 275's  - Any thoughts people  ??? :)

P.S Stop winding up Fabs Mr FastBrit  ;)

Yes, 215/65s - I could only replace them with Fuldas at the time. There were no 175/70s around, either, so I used 155 ZXs.  :)

Well spotted! This was indeed an early photo. Check the frame horns and torsion tube – they're all dirty. Note also the non-fresh-air heater boxes which Keith and the FAT crew modded to fit the header. I may even still have those somewhere.

these paticular heads are designed more like the early factory german design wich in turn will cool better than your todays solid block design. the weld will keep solid torqe to the upper outer studs for many years down the road. some people couldent care less and would let it go down the road wich is fine but i always try to improve on things like this.

Your welcome, Harry!  I'm not a guy who relishes the post office as there's ALWAYS a line out the door.  Plus, I'm not too keen on sending stuff out of the country (forms, rates, etc).  The Saturday I sent your stuff, I had your address all typed out so's I could read it OK when I got over there.  Upon getting out of the car, I noticed I'd lost your address somewhere along the line... back to the house for another reprint, then back to the post office.  I was fit to be tied by the time I got done!! ::) ;D

I know what Sarge is talking about.  That is why I have folks send me their address in an email then I cut and paste it into a word document make it larger then print it out.  I then glue it to the package and cover it with clear packing tape.  That way I don't mess up the address and it is easy to read.  Something to think about especially if you are mailing out of the country.  Which I have done a few times in the past month. It works for me...

Fabian I have been wondering for a while what you mean with this word, so I looked it up but still have no idea...
this was the explanation I got on the www:
1.    effervescing; bubbling.
2.    vivacious; gay; lively; sparkling.

I haven't had a lot of time to spend on my own '67, due to numerous other things going on in my life for the past year or so. But, I did finally get my glove box back from Jeff Davis. I never liked using an old clapped out glove box liner, or heaven forbid using one of those tacky black plastic ones. So, I had a new one fabricated out of aluminum, and had it TIG welded. Looks awesome mounted in the dash. But, you will only enjoy it when you open the glove box door!

You need to get that polished for when you open the hood. Maybe some chrome glove box door hinges with lightening holes. That is really sweet.

Kaferboy, that looks GREAT!

(http://www.volkszone.co.uk/VZi/picture.php?albumid=123&pictureid=1177)

You're going to coat them in satin clear finish as is? No black on the spokes? Either way, that will look very cool and different. Please post up a pic or two of them on the car when they're finished.



Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: jamiep_jamiep on March 09, 2009, 10:08:22 am
Cheers Fred, no black on them for the time being, just the satin clear coat. Original plan was to detail them satin battleship grey where they would normally be polished with black crinkle finish on the spokes. Who knows if I get bored I might do that next year! ;)

Think they'll look good against the planned paint colour - RAL 6011, known pretty well to lots of engineers as the RAL paint code used on most mills/lathes/control panels etc. If you see a lightish pea green colour thats it.

That book cover on the lower left (with the gold background and painted VW engine) was how I learned how build engines.....


That's a great book... I learned a lot there, too.  Oddly enough, I lost mine as well. :(

Got the replacement T-Bar back from the polisher yesterday.  Sihilling's was where we took our stuff back in the old days before Al Reed.  It's located in an alley in deepest darkest Santa Ana.  I had them do the Halibrand spindles and the Centerlines on the sand rail along with numerous intake manifolds and other odds and ends.  John Sihilling was a round faced man with an easy personality who sadly passed some years ago... the shop is unchanged; a tiny black hole in the wall humming with the sounds of high speed buffers and the smells of hot rouge on metal.  Back then, it was not unusual to see a stack of GMC 6-71 blower housings with Mert Littlefield's name on the bill or a load of intake manifolds from Edelbrock.  John's son, Charlie runs the show these days.

Sarge, I dig your story about the polishing shop. Brings back great memories of Crystal Polishing and Anaplex Anodizing. Both were in Paramount, CA and I spent a large amount of time with my friends at those places. Later, I learned how to polish my own stuff with machines and various friends' shops. But Crystal did a suburb job reconstructing my outer wheels lips on my EMPI 5s.

Ian, I'd love to page through that thing.

Dez, that steering wheel is EPIC! Two thumbs up. Let's see it in your car, soon... yes?


Thanks :D I am sooo happy with it but my Bug is in restoration at the moment so will be ready in a few months and cannot wait to put it on last!

It is 14 inch wheel.

Got some Appliance Pacer wheels too for the Bug if you have a look at the wheel thread :)

Dez, those are cool, i was looking for a couple of those when the dds wheels fell in my lap.

The black aluminum still has the clear protective coating on each side.

Check the glass hood out the side window, but that and the rear flares (wings) and the deck lid with the scoop are another post.  that was another trip i took back in February.

Fabian, you really don't want those VW Trends issues with that orange car and it's owner on there. I hear that the value (or lack thereof) is way down and depreciates as time goes on.

Don't know how to decipher that. Tell me where to look and I'd be happy to relay it to you.

They do look better than the last 2 pairs of used XZX's I've had on there, though! :D

 ;). Mine is buttoned and made of "stretch" leather, and for 380 to 425mm wheel. I don't know what brand it is (Auto Parts ?), it only says made in Western Germany. If I'm not wrong there was some Kamei covers like this.

Look on the side near the bead for the letters "DOT" followed by some numbers that are inset, not raised.  This is only on one side of the tire.  Post the last 3 digits from all 4 tires.

Is there a triangle before this number ? If yes they were made the 25th week of the year 1995, if no triangle the 25th week in 1985.

Hopefully when you bead them they wont be full of cracks on the sidewalls.  Tires that old are not a very good idea to run. Tke it from a guy who is a service manager at a tire store.

I don't think they made that tire in the 90s.  Could be 1975 too.

That's how Michelin put the date on tires. Before 1980 I don't know how they write it. That tire was made in the 90s I think (or at least in France), you can still buy it new now.


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: Zach Gomulka on April 26, 2009, 19:05:23 pm
FNTB A4M X 255 is the whole number. If someone wants to buy me a new pair I'd happily use them ;) They are $169 each + shipping from Coker. I know screwing around with old tires isn't the brightest idea (I've already been through 2 pairs of XZX's, a pair of 195/65's, and 205/70's on this car), but I don't have the wallet to buy new ones now and I hate how modern radials look on it.
Someday the plan is to get a pair of Michelin XWX's on 6" wide Sprints... $$$$

I bought a pair of Michelin XZX 165s (Made in France) in 2002 from Sears. Date code is 088. I'm assuming it's week 08 year 1998.

Zach,
Check into and get yourself some NEW 175/65-15s. Better braking and fit to your rims ... not to mention they're NEW.
I'll never look back ...

Overall, I'm not against wider modern tires. Just on this car I am ;) In my opinion, my GTV needs a vintage radial tire. I've tried 195/65's on the back and they looked wrong. Too wide, short, and the tread pattern didn't look right. 205/70's were way too wide and tall. I'd love some 185/70 XWX's, but I'd also like to stay current on my school loans ;) The Vredesteins are ugly as sin and they don't make a 145. 165 XZX's are a bit skinny, but they look right, and they match the front 145's which is a big pet peeve of mine. My 145's are on 4.5's and the 165's are on 5.5's so they fit the rims very well (equally).

Yep, triangle after 088 and yes I still have them. They are on my front wheels. Only 5,500 miles of towing on them. This is my car after sitting in the woods for 7 years.

Check your local laws.  Red turn signals are illegal on the front in North America.  Must be clear or yellow.

                                                      That's interesting Keith, because when I had my gauges worked on, Anaheim Speedometer told me they were easy , as they were all done with VDO components. They also added that they had worked on a number of sets of the Nippon EMPI gauges and found all of them to be constructed with VDO components.

Maybe Darrell didn't like EMPI stuff – perhaps he was more of a Racetrim guy ;D ;D ;D ;D

All I can assume is that, him being a racer and all, he wasn't into the 'gauge package' deals. But that's what he told me, anyway. It's almost certainly on 'tape' as I recorded the conversation! ;)

Yes, but they are Michelins.  I believe the Perellis have firmer side walls than the Michelins.  I like the size.  I am not a big fan of over tall or fat tires although I am probably in the minority.  When I first put the car together I had 185/70s but have been unable to locate any at a decent price.

You can get Vredestein's at a reasonable price (also matching 155's), but they look like they came off a tractor.

I have 155/80 R15 and 185/80 R15 Veredesteins... shold look ok :) they are waiting for Mahles to be finished.

155/80 R15 doesn't look good with 195/65 R15. had taht combo and it looks like the rear tires are smaller than fronts (which isn't true in mathematicks point of view)
195/65 look good with samll 145/65 (had this option also).

i beg to differ. vredesteins look very very cool. i run them and they are great. i can't wait to wear out the fronts to buy a set off 155's to match. and maybe not the best reference but Dave Rhoads has vredesteins  ;D 185/70 btw

Vredesteins Sprint Classic are good tires, I ran 155R15 + 185R15 during 3 years the driving is nice with it and they look great. I'm now changing for Michelins XZX but I'm keeping my Vredestein set in case of new project or new wheels.

For all of you here who are unfamiliar with JC Whitney, suffice it to say that they were the Holy Grail when I was a teenager.  Getting the catalog and drooling over all the goodies was a favorite pastime of us dreamers.  I hadn't seen one of their catalogs in many years when lo and behold, one showed up in the mail box yesterday! :o 8)

There's no junk like JC Whitney junk!  ;D

I went to their 'head office' in Chicago back in 1980 to buy some El Cheapo 87mm cyl & pistons. I checked the box in the store and one of the cylinders had been dropped, putting a large ding in the base of it. It was so out of round, it was untrue. When I pointed it out to the guy behind the counter, all he said was "That won't matter, will it?"... ::) ;D

For all of you here who are unfamiliar with JC Whitney, suffice it to say that they were the Holy Grail when I was a teenager.  Getting the catalog and drooling over all the goodies was a favorite pastime of us dreamers.  I hadn't seen one of their catalogs in many years when lo and behold, one showed up in the mail box yesterday! :o 8)

Hey Sarge..this "green beetle" is in Italy!

You can sit on a gearbox but you can't bolt a sofa under your Bug. Come on, Sarge, get your priorities right. I'm sure Sharon will see the logic here. :D


Hahaha.... At work, I can sell snow cones to eskimos at the front counter... somehow, I just couldn't close the deal on that trans ::) ;D

I should imagine the chances of finding one of those manuals in one piece is much higher than the chances of finding one of the cranks in a similar state.

On Monday, I got a pair of very handy tools as well as my new induction, 45 DRLA's, for the 2017cc beast currently in the works... the guy said they need to be gone through and rebuilt, but near as I can tell they're very complete and very clean, so I don't anticipate any issues in getting them spiffed up.

As shitty as a my day at work went today -- I'm almost at the point of wanting to beat the chocolate hot dogs out of my co-worker -- I did get rebuild kits for my 45 DRLAs from the Alfa guy in Italy...when I went to the post office to pick it up and saw the "Italy" address, I thought, "Is this a bomb or something? I dont' remember ordering anything from Italy."
It didn't go off when I cut through the tape, so I kept going. ;D

Glad to see that the package made its long trip across the Atlantic with the contents intact (and a good thing that all of the Dyno Don fans along the way didn't know what was sealed inside ;D).

Dyno got a kick out of signing the "Mad Licker" photo, the compilation from EBI2 is made up of mostly your photos (I think), the Texas Volks Blast flyer is from an event that I helped put together (see http://www.texasvolksblast.com), and the autographed photo of Ron Fleming interviewing Dyno Don is one that I got Dyno to sign and Dean Kirsten had Ron sign (thanks guys!).

I had a pair of the Scat manifolds on my car in early mid 70's.   The only thing I didn't like about them was they had SAE American hardware and studs not metric and didn't fit the carbs real well.   Nice find with both sets.  The Scat manifolds were made very well.                         Dave Rhoads

A few days ago I received this, a gift from Trond in Ca. that's a true friend! ;D :) :)
(http://www.vwnorge.no/JHU/Stuff.jpg)

I decided to go with Empi's 51 EPC as opposed to converted Italian/Spanish, the reason is that they are made as 51's, with the added accuracy of just one machining operation gives is a huge pluss in my book.
Looks like the Chinese could give the Italians a lesson on how to pour aluminum, just check out how crisp they are...  ;D

WOW that is a VERY rare find indeed :o I love DCN's and I always wanted one of those kits - I'm digging the way the carbs are "reversed"  :) and yes they are "Early" ie before DCNF's were about
The only "non original" part to your kit that I can see is the filters - They are surrpossed to be taller/oval types with a Flat top - The only other kit I ever saw was Dave Mayes (RIP :'()

Where did you find it ??? :)

this is how much I love DCN's ;)

Post by: deano on September 10, 2009, 23:57:11 pm
I never liked the '66-67 seats, even on my original '67. I prefer the way the earlier model seats look and feel. I like the flat tops instead of the more rounded/curved seats that came with the car. So, like before, I switched to the '65 and earlier models. So you are correct, those frames are pre-66!

Not in the post, but picked up at a classic car show last sunday - the Elfrink "Volkswagen Technical Manual", 1964 edition! £3! Bargain! ;) Now I want the "How to Make Your Volkswagen Go!" for about the same price...

Actually the '65 to '67 seats have the curved back, it's '64 and down that have flat.   ;D

Hey, I just Jimmy some wheel studs yesterday! I think you should do the front ones an extra inch. So they look have the same offset as a 51/2 inch chromie. They match a little better that way.

I have thought about it but not sure if I want to pay $100 for shipping and another $100 for widening per wheel for an extra inch. I was really impressed with Rally America. They turned my wheels around in a day and did very nice work.

You're right on cue, Deano. Really, the the 'chops are the only thing that dates the photograph. If it weren't for that, the image could very well be contemporary.

I have been looking for this VW tool for twenty years.. Can you tell me what is does?

That tool reminds me of a crank pulley puller, but I can't honestly say I've seen one that looks like that before if in fact that's what it is.

We have a winner. Once you bolt the disc and pressure plate to the flywheel, you check the installation height of the T/O bearing collar (early style), to make sure it is at the correct height. The tool legs have magnets on them so they will stick to the flywheel.

Yes, Inch Pincher I, first DDS car, Stutt Bee (before chop), first Lightning Bug, and super rare shots of the Iguana, all taken at Fremont. No date set on these yet, but the Schley Brothers will see them today and figure out when they were taken. I would imagine that this event was a NHRA points meet for all them to be there, and race against a street roadster in Modified Eliminator. Most were running H/Gas....

Some pieces i picked up at a swap meet two weeks ago.  A center pull with an aluminum top piece, a dds style pulley (need to get a degree ring from jan), an oil fill for the drag motor and a SR15N Bosch.  all for about $60 us.  Oh yea, the valve cover vent tubes, i'll probably not use, but they were $3.  Who can refuse that?

If I do decide to sell, you’re first on the list.  I’ll probably never use it, I’m a cross bar fan myself.  Even though I have a couple of CB style cross bars, I’m going to try to find a Tayco style round bar set up for the gasser I’m currently building.  That’s why I picked up the dds style pulley, a little bit of the old and new.

Ted, I was admiring your license frame at Drag Day... I've had ones from that dealer, but have never seen one with the Bug. VERY cool and nice find. I saw that he had another one for sale... but I can't afford that. I'm still looking for a Lakewood Motors one in decent condition for my '67. I have one that's mint, but I painted the background the same color as my orange '66, so I don't want to change it.

One steering wheel off a 1971 Thing. Same type as used on standard model bugs in Europe. And a set of Race Trim suspension seats. Not really vintage correct but they met my criteria for being comfortable, affordable and all vinyl.

I pick up my newly rebuilt gearbox from the Locash crew this weekend at the Florida/Pasco Bug Jam. Looks to be a great weekend.

Yes, slowly but surely. So far it's put a smile on my face like a poodle that just cleaned out the cat box. Thanks to Roger Crawford I'll have some DRF stickers on it and

Thank you for the kind words, but the real compliments go to Chip and the usual gang of suspects, Lummus, Tims, Jimenez and the reclusive Bruto.

Thanks Sarge, as of right now I'd like to leave it racy as possible and sneak it out on joy rides. First things will be license plates, a wiring harness and
a muffler from Tiger. It sure feels good to be back in the saddle again! Hell, I'm damn near "sportin wood". Lets just call it therapy.

Just delivered, a shiny red toy for Phil. The 34 year dry spell has ended thanks to my friend Chip Wimer selling me his 66 VW out of storage (6 yrs). He and his boys have been successfully campaigning an alcohol dragster, in the mean time.
I guess now I'll something to post in "In Da Werks"  ;D
I remember that car running at Carlsbad almost 9 years ago.  I believe it was featured in Trends around that time.

Beautiful car you got there Phil.

Thank you for the kind words, but the real compliments go to Chip and the usual gang of suspects, Lummus, Tims, Himenez and the reclusive Bruto.
It's probably rare to buy a fully sorted race car that's nice enough to put on the street.  I most likely will just be a caretaker in the grand scheme of things,... have some fun... do no harm...pass it on.  C'est la vie

Chip is one of the good ones, Phil.  I wondered what was on tap for that car with the boys busy on the digger.  Now, about that Type 3 Ghia.............
Best of luck with the car and enjoy it.

As I recall the car was running low 12's at the time. Later, Chip had the motor/trans redone and the chassis tweaked enough to take overall at one of the Bug-Ins, running consistant 11.60's.
He's come a long way from when he founded the Type 3 Ghia Registry...here's a pic of the digger.

Nice Car Phil Are you going to Put it Back on the Street??  And Run DRF Club Stickers?? would Love To See Some Originals Come Back From there Roots

will attend local events. If only to show the farmers up here what an old school 11 sec VW looks like.  ;D

I got these parts (minus the pen) last thursday from Alejandro Martin. It's the parts I missed for my speedwell sprint kit. It was not cheap, but well worth the money when you look at it a bit closer. It shows so great craftmanship. It was supposed to be on a 1300cc in my '60 ghia. But I bought a very good and more correct 30hp to use instead this weekend. So it will be for sale. Watch out for the add.

Custom made SS brake lines with metric fittings for my buggy thanks to Eric "HotrodVW" Gwaltney. And it cost about half the price of just the flaring tool. He can do the flexible ones too. If you need some SS brake lines, HotrodVW is the man.

NOS ZF limited slip diff for swing axle. Maybe it was used for test as there are additional numbers engraved and some boltes are missing.
The engraved number is the part number of the finished diff.  You've got an 8 bolt diff with bi-metalic discs, and no dowel pins.  What's the number on the other diff?

It looks like the bolts that are there are way too long.  You will need to source shorter ones or cut them down.  I can tell you later what length of bolt you need to get so that it has the right shaft length after you cut it.

You will also have to take it apart to lube up the discs.  If you don't, it will grind itself to death in the first few miles of driving.  It is EXTREMELY important that you keep the discs in the right order and the right way round.  It has been my observation that MOST ZF disc failures is due to the dummy who went inside previously and assembled the diff WRONG.  The overwhelming majority of opened up diffs were put together wrong.

well, since it seems that the 86C is the reason why 4 of my valve springs broke, not really happy with it, no...  :-\

VERY cool, Pupjoint! Had both of those keys and handles on my two '66 cars, three decades back.

Not in the mail... but got these from Mr. Rosique at the recent D.K.P. Santa's Lil' Helper Cruise event.

(http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Type3PlugEnds.jpg)

Much thanks, my friend, I've been wanting these for a long time. Oh, I came across the fifth one, this morning, which Dave Galassi was kind enough to donate. Finally got around to cleaning 'em today. I'll try to complete the install today.

Not in the post, but I met up with Richard Roth last week and delivered these uber rare steel flared fenders.  We found these at a swap in Georgia a few years ago and I promised him that he would have first right of refusal.  Cool pieces eh?

I just tried to design an "Inch Pincher" shoe, and had no problems putting that on the heel. There was even enough room to add "Empi Inch" to the left heel, and "Pincher" to the right heel. I couldn't get a darker Empi blue to go along with the orange... Maybe in a different shoe design.

Deano had those pistons and cylinders manufactured in Japan.
The story goes that the Japanese did not respect the copyright laws and that they had sold many sets before Deano even recieved one !
I have five sets of those pistons and all are in DEANO marked boxes.
I wonder if the set Fabian bought was one of the "illegal" sets, since the box has no mention of DEANO ?

Yes, but the point was that it doesn't say DEANO or DDS anywhere on the box.


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: deano on January 08, 2010, 14:56:15 pm
Yes, late model on the Deano 92s, but even later on, NPR drove the knife into Dean and Ken a little deeper by milling off "Deano" on the inside of the piston mold! The box shown above was near the end of the battle... 1975ish. The reason you found those 40hp stroke pistons still around was that they didn't sell at all back then. DDS worked with Joe Horvath on the original setup, and it was Joe who felt that there would be a strong market for the smaller pin diameter.... Wrong. Just some of the gossip I have uncovered these past few months...

I got a box which came all the way from Norway, and it was packed with all kinds of very cool SCC stuff. Thanks guys! (http://cal-look.no/lounge/Themes/babylon/images/post/thumbup.gif) (http://cal-look.no/lounge/Themes/babylon/images/post/thumbup.gif)

I watched the last DVD in the SCC "trilogy" (SCC2009) tonight. Not only was it very well done, but it brought back a lot of great memories. I was pleasantly surprised/honored to find a testimonial from "Eric Ellis, Texas" right on the front cover. I'm famous! ;)

I can't wait to watch the DVDs from SCC2007 and SCC2008, and hope to be there for the making of the SCC2010 DVD.

I'll proudly wear my new "Holey Moley" hoodie (unless it's snowing here, then I'll sport the "trackbite" t-shirt, and warm up with some hot chocolate from the matching mug).

injection cases were AS 21 cases here in Europe. not sure how it was in the US, but i think JS is right since it has the fuelpump hole.


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: red baron on January 30, 2010, 16:19:50 pm
yeah the fuelpump tipped me off.

But the AS21 and AS41 thing isn't related to the FI or non-FI cases I think. Its just the casting - not the design, but the alloy.

I got the feeling, that there is some more material than on normal cases altough.

the carton is very cool in deed

I did not say it was a Panzer case. Panzer cases were Brazilian single relief filled back cases. Those are fairly common as CB Performance sold them until a few years ago. This is a later replacement case made in Germany that happens to have a factory filled back like the late fuel injected cases. This is the one affectionately known as the "Gold Beauty"

Here is a standard non filled case.

are these catalogs like workshop manuals?
just wondering how many there are and what they're about. their products (e.g. berg5) or also performance mods in general?


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: Donny B. on February 13, 2010, 14:36:22 pm
The catalogs have Berg recommendations along with with part descriptions. It is actually a parts catalog.  There is some very interesting stuff in the Berg catalogs.  The 1981 catalog is an old one that I did not have so I was very happy to get it to add to my collection of Berg memorabilia.


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: Lids on February 13, 2010, 14:51:13 pm
Not sure when the first berg catalogs appeared, but this is pretty early (1976)


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: Donny B. on February 13, 2010, 15:28:52 pm
Lids I have that one.  Got it from a friend and there is a postmark of 1977 on it.  You are probably correct as the Berg catalogs were usually for two years.  Do you have any between that and the 1981 catalog?  How about between the 1981 and 1986.  I have the 1986-87 catalog and everyone since then.  Still wondering how many I am missing...


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: Lids on February 13, 2010, 16:02:27 pm
Donny mine is postmarked 1976, so i know its from at least then.  Like you I only 1981 and then a big gap.  I am sure I have seen either earlier than the '76 or in between 76 and 81.

My Nardi woodrim DIDN'T arrive, thanks to Parcelforce who held it in customs awaiting charges, and then helpfully decided that I must be psychic to know that it was there as they didn't tell me it was in the country... They've now decided to send it back to Japan! >:(

Hi Louis

Glad they arrived safe, I was starting to worry.It does look so much better already, Color isn't far off either . Once you've decided where to cut out the old arches , and got the new ones sitting in place , where the two panels meet , make sure you sand the edges to a fine point . So you don't have two 5mm pieces of fibreglass just butted up to each
other . This way the joint is spread over a wider area , and has less chance of cracking . I usually use a hot glue gun to hold things in place while you glass , and use masking tape over the join from the outside to stop gel and resin running through . Hope that makes sense . Rob

I'd read somewhere that Mr. Mitchell will not talk about his VW racing days at all anymore, and is quite rude about it.  I think it was over on UAC that somebody mentioned this, which I found really strange.  Did the 'first in the 10s' claim create a lot of bad blood between Mitchell and the Schleys?


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: deano on March 19, 2010, 20:47:01 pm
When Bruce Simurda approached him at the SEMA show in Vegas this past November, and asked him to sign my photo, he was all smiles. No problem as he wrote exactly what we asked him to... So, our experince at that level was good, but I know others weren't so lucky. Hard to say, but I do know that Billy Mitchell did talk to the Schleys not too long ago, and Mitchell admitted that his times were bogus to a certain extent.

In the new Motion Performance book that came out a few months ago, Mitchell could have easily taken the opportunity to claim the "First in the Ten" title, but he didn't. Tells me a lot. When others have asked him about records and proof, he never seem to have much left in his collection. But, when you talk to, and see what the Schley's have on file, and I do mean serious notes, time slips and photos!, you tend to believe the Schley brothers over Mitchell.

That's interesting stuff.  I certainly can't speak from experience, as I haven't met Mr. Mitchell at any time, but like I said, it was purely through second hand postings or such that I read that.  Anybody can have a bad day, I reckon, lol.

Another load of engine parts, unfortunately I ordered the wrong pushrods so I'll have to ship the ones I got back.  I accidentally ordered preassembled stock-length ones from CB, and I need the cut-to-length ones.  My personal favorite of the bunch is the rockers, arguably the lone real performance parts of the bunch. ;D

I finally got my Nardi steering wheel! It was sent from Japan at the beginning of February, Parcelforce didn't tell me it was in the country (they didn't send the customs form or the reminder) so I had to chase it, only to find it was due to be sent back to Japan! Eventually got it, and very pleased.

i used to be able to buy these easily in the mid 90s, these are HKB boss kit japanese made, very high quality, cast boss kit with crinkle powdercoating, for Nardi steering wheels.

got 2 types, one is for the 60s, cant remember what shaft diameter. the other is for smaller shaft, written in japanese they are for porsche 924, audi 80 and vw 1303...i wasnt really sure if i could use it, not familiar with later models, in some remote area so i took the risk and bought them all...LOL

I've got to say, that's been the only shining spot this week so far since my daily driver took a defecation on me, figuratively speaking.  First $156 for plugs and wires, now the damn coil is bad, an additional 80 bucks plus god knows how much labor.  I'm pissed, to say the least.  lol.

KEP 1700lb. clutch, chromoly flywheel (I had one I was going to use, but the dowel pin holes look buggered up), new billet degree pulley, hex head oil pressure relief plugs, a few minor carb parts (now installed)... think that's about it.

And last night my case returned from VW Paradise with oil sump extension brazed on and lifter bores clearanced... thanks, Lauffers!! I'm very impressed with their level of professionalism, and will continue to do business with them.

Finally Got My Rear Apron Today I was A Bit Worried about the Quality this is the Pre 55 Rear Apron Sold on Samba by the KDF Company In Poland I Guess I was The Ginny Pig Here since no One that I could Find has ever Bought one from Him Well The Quality is Very Nice considering its A Re pop Part and The Price was Way Better then Wolf and it dose come Complete with all the Seal Tracks I know Dave Was Wondering about the Quality I am Happy with Mine     http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=848613


Looks good from my house Gary ;D

Now that you have taken on the role of Guinea Pig, please let me know your thoughts on thickness of metal and fit and finish once installed. If that apron and a KCW repop W Vert decklid would work well together, I'd be a happy guy.

Got my Schadeck plugged for full flow 26mm oil pump a week ago Saturday, and yesterday received a new 1-4" range depth micrometer.

In the "return" pile, I have to send back a Scat (Part no. 60025) chromoly gland nut because the shop I bought it from said it was 36mm... turns out it's 38mm, or 1-1/2-inch.  I wanted a 36mm gland nut so I could use my torque tool in getting it torqued down, now I gots to return it. :-(

Shoulda held off and bought the new Bugpack 36mm chromo gland nut, but I took these Portland, Oregon guys at their word.

So, it appears that the last time that award was handed out was 1974? Or at least, the last time it was engraved? Makes sense as I do not recall it coming out after that time. Individual World's Most Beautiful Trophies came out after that. Maybe?

no what you need is still a single quiet pack. duals is for big big engines. look at Aronsons car, always a single and it went quick enough with that. not that the duals don't look good, they do.

I don't think anything made by EMPI would be worth modifying to get the desired look...;D  Odds are the mufflers would fall off and I'd be stuck with the head tubes and flange bolted to the header.  THAT might sound kind of interesting...lol.

Hi!

I have finally gotten my new pistons after searching the net for quite some time to find the right one for my engine update. The bore is 94.89mm and the compression height is pretty low (28.78mm) so I won´t get too much trouble fitting the engine in the tight ovalwindow engine bay after an increase in stroke.

[attachment=1]
[attachment=2]
[attachment=3]

Still some things to do to get them fitting a type 1 though...

Bye,

Tobi

Around that time they were acquired by a circuitous route by German & Swedish. G&S (sorry, GS&F) retain the rights to the Autocavan name but have never used it. Geoff Thomas, who owned Autocavan, is retired but still 'dabbles' a little. He owns the rights to the Volksport name.

I had seen this before and failed to order it, then when I went to get one I couldn't find them any more.  Last week I received a Mid America catalog in the mail and there it was so I ordered one.  I have been known to drive in heavy rain.  My stock switches all leak.  They didn't use to leak but they all do now.  I will be able to have a modern washer in my car for the next time I get caught in the rain.  It fits in the stock location...!

how do you hook it up? isn't the pump electric so you need an additional switch?

I remember reading a feature in volksworld a while back now and the owner had Modified an original wiper/washer switch so that the original center push part for the original washers activated a micro switch which in turn activated an electric washer pump/bottle - Very neat little trick  ;) :)

That's cool the reservoir fits in the stock location. My GTV ('72) doesn't have the provisions to secure a reservoir since the original one went on the stock spare wheel. When I got a matching Sprint Star spare, it no loger fit. So I've got a reservoir with integral pump from a Mexican Beetle that mounts to a couple of the fender bolts. Works a treat :)

Post by: rick m on November 15, 2010, 16:37:29 pm
hey Donny B,

Does the switch you show have a micro switch that is activated by pushing the old manual plunger in the middle of the wiper motor switch?  I have to get one of these too. I will have to check out your installation.  I guess it means I have to drive my car in bad weather too. Yikes? The small 9" chopped down wiper blades will be interesting to test.

Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: Donny B. on November 15, 2010, 16:51:56 pm
Yes the idea is to use the original switch with the button in the middle to activate the micro switch for the washer.  Make a trip over to my house and we can figure it out.  I haven't done it yet.

Got 7 parcels today, is it Christmas?

HOT VW's Cal-look Feb 1980

2 x VW trends I needed.

1980 bugpack catalog and price sheet

Bug-in 28 Entry form (Think i have missed the deadline!!!!)

Stephen King - The Girl Who loved Tom Gordon Hardback

2 x Van Den Hul HDMI 180 Cables

Roth Wifi Ipod Dock

Don't think the wife was happy. :)

And a parking ticket for parking on a yellow line, even though there was snow on the ground and no road markings visible!!!!  Time for an appeal.  It is residents parking bays (I have a permit), but some sections have single no parking lines to allow cars to pass, No road signs to indicate where these are.  snow melted, looks like i park illegally, then snows again covering road markings!!!  No justice.

Not in the mail, but my family clubbed together for my 40th birthday and bought me some rather pleasant heat exchangers. If I had a photo you'd see the letters 'C', 'S' & 'P' on the side. 1 5/8" of heating goodness: after ten years with no heating I can't wait to put them on. I was gobsmacked!


glad you like them and I was part in the operation

Not exactly Cal-Look, but I won an E-bay auction for four Pre-A Porsche 16x3.25 wheels that normally go for $700.00 each.
But the seller thought they were for an Austin-Healey, so I got all four for $99.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This lathe is in incredible condition, it was used for gunsmithing also. I picked it up today with my Nissan pickup. It was way beyond the capacity of my little truck (~1200lbs) but I only had to move it 25 miles.

When I saw Deano post these filters it reminded me of a Lee dealer here in Vancouver. They closed up many many years ago but I did manage to buy up some old inventory (mostly Lee and Cyclone) So no, I didn't get this in the mail but I thought it was kind of neat anyway.

Lee Maxifilter LF-1, Replaces the Ph8a or HP1 stlyle filters (fits cars to 1971 so i'm guessing it's from that time.

Ugh.... So I took a chance hoping that the wheel was for a '72 and later column, and it is not. The wiper switch hits the spoke before the wheel is all the way down. So if anyone has the one I need, and wants the more common and more desirable one that I have, please let me know :)

This has to be the most unusual item posted here !
It is a genuine granite tombstone !
In a nutshell, at one time Shaky Jake grew tired of the pin-striping business and went to South America to collect and mount butterflies !
In time, he returned to the custom car business and was presented this as a sort of gag gift by none other than fellow customizer "Ed Roth" !
Jake kept it in his office until his actual death.

This motor will have the worst hp to dollar spent ratio of any VW motor ever built ::) But it will be a f*&king anvil!!

hehhehehehehe I reakon my 1641 could be a contender for that prize dude - If I added it all up that "Race Trim" dual carb set up I put together probably cost me over 2000.00GBP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (maybe more!!!!)  ;) :)

I never had a problem with 'em back in the stone age. In fact, I used to prefer them.. seems like (to me anyway) the alum mount did not transfer quite as much noise as a steel mount.. 70's technology ;D

Plan is to use the Alli front mount, Berg Mid mount and stock rear mount with Alli blocks. Should reduce the noise a little but still keeping her fully solid mounted.

Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: kingsburgphil on April 07, 2011, 18:59:10 pm
Thanks, the stacks came with the car when I bought it. So your guess is as good as mine. I did have to trim the Bugpack/tayco linkage castings to fit
around the stacks. Unfortunately with the raised trans nothing fits as far as sealing the engine compartment, so I approach it as if it was a baja bug.
I'm sure some eyes will roll when they see how I mounted the remote oil cooler  ;D

Postman delivered a package from the Schley Brothers – had no idea what was in it as wasn't expecting anything. Opened it up to find they'd blown up a spread from Ultra VW which I'd done on Dan Gurney, had it framed and then signed to me by Dan Gurney himself! How cool! 8) 8) 8)

I was also a bit surprised to see a Golf in Ultra VW. But well, everything has to evolve if you want to keep it up to date and profitable.
And the reports about Schley's museum and the girls from back in the day are two bitchin reports  8)

I kind of have the same feeling about Classic Porsche magazine.
It is supposed to be about vintage porsches, yet with only 5 issues in print there are already articles about new porsches that might be "future classics".

Sorry, but you're factually incorrect there, Fabs. Ever since issue #1, there have been features on water-cooled VWs – New Beetles, Type 25/T3s, T4s and hi-tech drag cars. No change there. But every magazine will always be 'fluid' and respond to market forces.

But this is a thread about what came in the mail today – if you want a chat about the mag, drop Paul Knight the editor a line at ultravw@chpltd.com and tell him what you think. Paul is always open to a chat! Me? I just want to write about old race cars and Lookers... ;)

Post by: . on April 23, 2011, 18:32:09 pm
They manufactured aluminum valve covers for VW, Porsche and Corvair back in the 1960's.
Their address was:

Thomas Automotive Products
1088 Independence Ave.
Mt.View, California 94040

I have seen an ad from them in a magazine recently.
I will scan and post it as soon as I find it.

Not acquired in the mail, but I've landed a pretty good stash of VW parts this weekend from a guy 15 miles south of me.   This fellow advertised some VW stuff in our newspaper (for which I work, lol) that he had for sale, including a set of Baby Dellorto carburetors for a really good price.  The other stuff was primarily dune buggy related, including a set of disc brakes drilled for Chevy wheel bolt pattern, a slave cylinder and some other things I didn't really need.
The carburetors ended up being really nice, very clean and complete other than no air cleaners and missing part of the linkage.  Then he proceeded to start giving away other VW stuff he had no use for, including what turned out to be an older (plain aluminum handle) Berg shifter, what look to be a never-used pair of S&S Headers' dual quiet packs for a 1-3/8" header, a chrome 36 horse doghouse shroud, a pair of Solexes off a late model Bus, 34PICT Bocar carb (bus carbs and this 34PICT are also very clean, free turning shafts, etc), and numerous other parts.  Got a set of gently-used 92mm Mahle p/cs, as well, for a minimum price. Also a crank/set of rods/flywheel combo for what I presume to be a 1600.
Turned out to be a mighty nice day in the VW parts arena...;D  I figure I'll throw a few extra dollars toward the guy since he was unloading so much of the stuff for free, and that he was so willing to do so.
I've got to go back and pickup a short block and tow bar next weekend, as well.

Very tight fit between the two tubes, 3 o rings, windage case side, and a big head end same as CB's, I'll use the CB seals.

Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: TexasTom on May 22, 2011, 22:16:56 pm
Got this!
When I was 8 years old I purchased my first, which I still have, from the Toy Box at the mall in San Antonio ... paid $5.00 plus .25c sales tax.
Man was I excited!
When we got home I rushed in to join my big brother to race! The track had been set up for a couple weeks ... he would usually let me borrow one of his cars, but it was almost always the slowest of all, #7.
So I set it on the track and we go after it! One by one, each of his 4 fastest cars fell victim to the new VW. After beating him 3 times in a row with his fastest, a light blue '67 Camaro, he says, "Let me see that thing!" I obliged and he starts tinkering with it ... Well, it never ran as well again and would no longer beat the Camaro.
Actually though, the jokes on Him since I have all his original cars in the kit box on the top shelf in my closet ... waa waa waa waaaaa ....  ;)

This particular unit has never been raced and is still fastened in the box as they came, with the racing guide booklet intact.
Pretty cool, to me anyway.

We will have them available at Sacramento this weekend, and the VW Classic in a few weeks. They will be available on-line soon.. We are taking direct orders over the phone at our office, since so many have called.... The bulk dealers (VW shops) have all got theirs, IF they ordered them....

I didn't get it in the mail, but I didn't get it today either... so it kind of evens out...  ;)
Yesterday I got to try out the results of a case decked in my new jig. Magnus LH has made it for me after I had some bad experiences with crocked machining from one of the biggest machine shops in California.
My new case isn't decked parallel to the crank, and the only way to cure it is to re-machine it laying on the crank, we made it so it would balance on the cam as well to get the cylinders truly 90 degrees on the crank/cam centre line.
To be able to do this we chose to do the machining with bearings... and it came out perfect.
Here is some pics from when Magnus made it...  top bloke!!

I had an opportunity to buy a used set of Thunderbird merged dual QPs at Sacramento last month, but passed on 'em for an inexplicable reason... they would have been a nice alternative option for my current 2.5-inch dynomax.  If memory serves me correct, the Dave Rhoades car had T-bird merged QPs?

I didn't get it in the mail, but I didn't get it today either... so it kind of evens out...  ;)
Yesterday I got to try out the results of a case decked in my new jig. Magnus LH has made it for me after I had some bad experiences with crocked machining from one of the biggest machine shops in California.
My new case isn't decked parallel to the crank, and the only way to cure it is to re-machine it laying on the crank, we made it so it would balance on the cam as well to get the cylinders truly 90 degrees on the crank/cam centre line.
To be able to do this we chose to do the machining with bearings... and it came out perfect.
Here is some pics from when Magnus made it...  top bloke!!

Got this not in the mail, but off the Big Brown Truck.  Notice the O-Ring groove where the sump mates to the engine case.  These are pretty much available now.

Ohhh man! Did I get an awesome package in the mail recently, which travelled thousands of miles before arriving on my doorstep.

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f346/57hotrodvw/asst/IMG_2560.jpg)

My daughters were very curious to know what was contained inside the heavy box which was covered with postage stamps from a land far away. To their delight, they found it filled with personalized Aussie trinkets and sweets that they quickly dug into.

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f346/57hotrodvw/asst/IMG_2559.jpg)

I discovered that the parcel contained plenty of rasberry Redskins for me, as well as an unexpected/incredible surprise - not just license plates from VIC, NSW, and CAN, but the  White Knuckle Ride plates off of a famous VW racer from NSW, as well as framed action photos to go with. These will soon hang in a special spot in my garage!

I have only seen one other one like it, so if you can shed any light on it that would be swell.

I didn't feel right about it to hack on it so that it would fit the dash of my '73 super, so I sold it to a friend.

The other day I did get a set of these...

The 150 mile per hour speedo was sold through Johnny's Speed and Chrome for sure in the '80s... I've got an old catalog that has it in their pages.  The Garf's Rag drag Bug for sale in Grants Pass has one of those in it... I've still got that car in my sights, as it's one of my favorite old '80s Oregon drag cars... first one I ever saw at the 1989 Oregon Bug In.

You could ask them, but I bet you could just reverse the shaft and it would work for right hand drive.  It appears to be symmetrical.

already, they asked me to ship them a sample. working on that, but it could take a while as i work out of the country.

RHD is a bit different as originally the clutch cable hook is part of the pedal itself.

see how it goes.

Got this one out of Garland, Utah. Was recovered by a tow truck driver who was called to pick up a broken down'70s street Bug left at a repair shop for years. The engine was disassembled and stuck inside the interior, with a dropped valve. Shop owner just wanted the Bug gone, so the tow truck driver got it all. Engine used to be a 78x92 street engine, with this A-RPM 2-piece case. I just got the bare case, but once I cleaned it up, and checked it out, it was cherry inside. Standard size crank tunnel, no cam drop (sorry to say). I had John Carmonne look at it closely, as he originally machined it back in 1984... He showed me all the original tooling marks inside and how me machined it. Cool.


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: Diederick/DVK on August 09, 2011, 22:53:32 pm

Post by: deano on August 09, 2011, 23:18:29 pm
I did have it for sale, I wanted to see what the market would bare. So, I will keep it now, and build with spare parts from the nitrous 2332 engine.

The A-RPM 2-piece case is light-years better than a AS-41 case. Massive lifter area, 356 aluminum, six shuffle pins, high roof and clearanced for a 82/84 crank. Seriously strong, but kinda heavy..

The A-RPM 2-piece case is light-years better than a AS-41 case. Massive lifter area, 356 aluminum, six shuffle pins, high roof and clearanced for a 82/84 crank. Seriously strong, but kinda heavy..
Don't forget thru bolted on the mains also.

I know I've seen a picture of one before, but I can't remember where. The torn up newsletter it came with is an EMPI Accelerator from '68, so I'm guessing that it's from around that time peroid. I think the long megaphone stingers came later.

That stubby stinger was in the catalogs starting around 1965-66.
I have one of those and an nos "long 4-bolt" stinger (pictured) that was earlier.
(I bought all those nos Empi exhaust parts at one swap meet for $20.00 in 1990 !)

Richard, you should "loan" some of your Empi parts to the Schley's Museum so the rest of us mortals can enjoy them... "On loan from the esteem Richard Roth collection".   I'm sure they will give you your own glass display (they have added more since you have been there).

Got some photos from Richard Guarino, of the beginning of the Inch Pincher 3, the scoops being acetylene welded on the C pillar by the guy who painted the Candy Tangerine paint, "Eppie" D'Amico, and some snapshots of the finished car I had never seen before, and I think Richard has had them buried for many years.

Well, this wasn't "in the mail" but it was in my mailbox when I got home from work... there's a guy up here, retired CHP, used to be a member of the DRA, knows Marc Buehler, Ed Craig, Frenchy, had a yellow late Squareback and was in the club before he pulled up stakes and moved up here to the redwoods... I had been bugging him to dig out his old photo album, and today, it was in my mailbox...Got Marc's and Ed's Splits, The Race Shop Fiat, lotsa DRA cars, and this photo...
I KNOW these haven't been seen since about 1979-1980, so there's NO WAY anybody has this one...maybe a clone, maybe close to it, but this photo hasn't seen the light of day since 1980...

Zach, I have no idea, that photo was just in the album the guy left with me... I've been corresponding with Marc Buehler on another forum, and he is putting together a website for the DRA car club he was in... I've known this CHP guy since I moved up here in 2005, and when Buehler finally surfaced, he and Marc talked for the first time in over 30 years... I told Marc I'd bug the guy, to get the photos, and today, he came through.

Wow, does that bring back memories... That was a bad deal for Greg and Tar Babe, but I sure forgot how much damage it took that night at OCIR. I guess now that Russell knows what about that damage, he will want to sell it cheap... Looks like that heart taillight took the brunt of the guardrail bash. Between that crash, the the trailer towing midhap, Tar Babe went back to Beckers more than a few times for touch ups.

Hey Deano, do you remember a guy from La Habra, yellow late model Squareback, named Gary Peterson? He was a member of Marc Buehler's and Ed Craig's DRA... He thinks he remembers you, and he said he certainly remembered your '67... Anyway, he lives about 5 blocks from me, and that is where that photo of the Tar Babe came from. And the guy that owned Bug Engine in La Habra, not only is my neighbor, but also my partner @ work... guess Sarge Edmiston used to work for my neighbor...small world !

       The story behind the Tar Babe crash,   Greg Aronson and Mike Liebey built lowering spindles and added low profile slicks for the front end of the car, the night of the crash was the first time running with the new setup, through the lights at the top end under deceleration the front end dropped ,the tire on one side rubbed and was cut on the fenders lip causing a split second lockup of the one front tire, upsetting the car enough to spin across the track and into the guardrail . Later when the car was being repaired they needed one heart tail light assembly ,I contributed to the cause and gave them a pair Id had for years, Ron and Greg had done so very much for me it was the  least I could do. I was working on my chop top at the shop ,( F&A on Howell street) when they returned from OCIR that night, everyone was trying to see the upside because of what could have happened, but still , not a good night at all. If Gasser Garage found white paint when restoring the tail lights they are the ones used to repair the car,   just a little history.                 Keith Goss

    Richard, hope to see you again too, I was hoping to make it to Sac.this weekend but cannot.                                                                          Deano, odd isnt it how a bad experience can change things in so many ways, you probably talk to the guys more often than I do, if I left out any details or am wrong about anything, please correct me, I dont want to be a revisionist, if I remember correctly Jim Holmes was also there that night.  I remember when they went racing in Mexico and came home without Tar Babe how disappointed I was, that car was such a big influence. To me the Tar Babe was and is Americas Most Beautiful Volkswagen, just seeing Greg Aronson sitting in the seat of the Tar Babe at the reunion made every one of the 850miles I drove worth it.      KG

Cool, that looks a little different from the usual Kadron glasspacks I've seen... the two-bolt flange is standard for those K-dog headers, but the tip is usually shorter and fatter (larger diameter).

I found the supplier for these last week and immediately ordered one.  I got it today.  Quality looks really good.  This will be part of the resurrection of my '66 which was completed back in '95 and now is getting very worn looking.

Yours was always one of my favorites ... would love to see it going back together.

Will do, currently I am still gathering parts and trying to figure out how to pay for everything.  Guess I will have to sell some of my Berg stash.  Off topic, were you in Seattle when the Berg Cruise was there?  I seem to recall someone saying you were there.

I got a pair of 36 DRLAs in the mail today. They were listed on eBay 'for parts only' as they'd been in an engine fire. One looked perfect but the other was blackened a bit and the velocity stacks were melty.

I won the pair for $128. This is how the 'burned' one looked after 20 minutes and some carb spray (the float chambers were perfect inside).

I already have DCNFs and PIIs and I just got a line on a set of Italian IDAs but I have to spend my money on more pressing things like getting my pile of garbage ragtop on the road.

I'm going full-circle. I had a set of 36s but in '92 Dave Greiner said he'd give me a set of Berg DCNFs if I gave him the 36s and $50. I think Berg was so full of shit that his eyes were brown but I don't regret making that swap.

But I can't wait to run 36s again. Those that I had before were real sweethearts. I used to hate the Dellorto chirp but I'm actually looking forward to it. Makes me feel all nostalgic when I hear it now!  ;D

Yup, I bought it from Johnny. The main difference between this and the other 8k tach is that this one is made to be mounted under or on top of the dash instead of in a gauge panel. At the bottom it says "mfd for empi by faria."

Here is an interesting find at Iwindale today, at the Hot VWs Drag Day swap meet.... So Randy Carlson had a ton of new stuff (actually old '70s parts, but new to all of us). So me's see this group of engine-turned panels that are no doubt from Haneline.... I jumped on them, and tonight, I carefully removed the glovebox cover, and this is what I found on the backside! Ernie Haneline signed this one in person!There is also some kick panels and door edge covers included.

Ernie Haneline, there is a name from the past.  He use to deliver his parts to the Auto Haus Buena Park store.  I had some of his stuff on my car.  Threshold plates with kick panes and headlight surrounds as I recall.

Ernie was a real kick and I'll always remember some of his wild stories.  One that I remember him telling was how he got the mom and daughter in bed at the same time.  He must have been 70 when this happend according to him.  Seems to me that he lived in South County right along the beach.

Definitely one of those memorable guys I met way back when.    ;D ;D

Recieved my 010 from Glenn Ring today, did a fantastic job on it. This one is kinda special. It had belonged to Mark Herbert. Bought it from Mike some time back at Drag Day. Mike told me it had belonged to Mark. So finally had it restored by Glenn. I do have a rotor and NOS brown cap for it. May use it in my new motor as a tribute to Mark. RIP Mark.

HAHA!! Glenn, your post sounds/reads like a Christmas song. Nice array of distributors, by the way.
That's a small find, 2 years ago I hot the jackpot.

I still kick myself for not picking up two 010s at a southern Oregon VW show circa 1999 for $20 apiece... at the time was a poor college student; now I'm just a poor 30-something.  lol ;D

Dude, that stuff is still out there...and cheap. I got this 019 for $3 at a swap in October. Earlier this year at that same swap I got an 010 for $5. The key is to look in all the places nobody else either thinks of looking or is willing to. You gotta kiss a lotta toads but every once in a while you find a prince.

Good idea!
Maybe run a PTO off the oil pump? Or use one or two stages from a dry-sump pupmp???
We could go belt-drive off the crank, but then there's the potential for slippage and we don't need that when mixing drinks! LOL

Oh, I'm aware of the deals... seeing Glenn's pic just reminded me of that one instance, but at the time I just wouldn't/couldn't foresee the future. lol.  I've had my share of recent scores in my own back yard here in rural Oregon, which really makes the finds all the more treasured given how seldom VWs are seen out here.

That's your punishment for not suffering for your passion. You'll suffer one way or another so you might as well suffer in an avalanche of hoarded obsolete parts!  ;)

Rural Oregon should have lots of hippies. Rural Washington sure does. Hippies smell but they usually have old bus parts (my $5 010 came from a fat, long-haired old man in tie-dye). Peace, brother. Now give me my parts!

I was stoked to score a never-been-used set of S&S non-merged dual QPs recently along with other stuff, including a Berg shifter in the mix from probably the early '90s.

Ok, digression ended.  To keep it on topic, I did get a 009 in the mail recently for a song...

Lately I have been collecting VW printing plates.
I just added this one to my collection.
It is actually a printing plate from the VW factory in Wolfsburg , Germany.

It was used to generate letterhead for the factory memos.

If you notice the second pair of smoke stacks were added to the plate at a later date. This means this plate is from the 1950's when there were only one set of generators at the factory.

I'll admit, it did cross my mind to put a shorter 24" fork and wheel on it to drop the nose... But then my crank would probably scrape when I pedal, and that's just no good for performance ;D
Yesterday I swapped on some thick 2.35" tires to replace the 1 3/4". Fills up the fenders really well now, and the ride and grip is dramatically improved.

Not really in the mail, but...

I took the grandkids to Disneyland for a Christmas present and went by the Bergs to drop off a 69mm Berg crank I've had for years to get it mated to a lightened flywheel.  While there Dee showed me some stuff she had for sale and I found a 1985 Berg catalog.  I had never seen one before and I thought I had all of their catalogs.  It was for sale so I bought it.  She has more so if you are interested call Dee.

Very good condition '71 DDS catalog.  I'm happy enough about that, but then I looked at the other documents that came with it

1.  Dealer update letter for spring '71.  It's on white paper with purple lettering.  Says they have waiting lists for the full flow oil pump, the cast plenum ram intake, and the much coveted saf-tee shifter, so "order NOW".  :D
2.  Dealer order blank, printed on purple paper.
3.  Dealer statement of policy
4.  Listing of suggested selling prices, including dealer cost.  Price examples:
       a.  oil sump cost 28.25, list 39.95
       b.  oil pump cost 20.97, list 29.95
       c.  82x92 cylinder kit cost 79.75, list 118
       d.  010 disty, cost 17.30, list 25.80
       e.  pulley cost 15.90, list 23.95
       f.  IDA carb cost 102, list 125
       g. IDA manifolds cost 52, list 74.95
       h. IDA kit with carbs, linkage, manifolds cost 281.50, list 360
       i.  230hp 2180cc competition engine cost 2080, list 2250  :o :o :o
       j.  Deano super heads "all the good things" cost 335, list 415  :o :o :o
       
       And last but not least.....

       k.  Saf-tee-shifter cost 27.90, list 39.95

X2.. I only broke four including one in my bay window ;D  I think Fleming doubled that figure. My Berg shifter is slow and clunky in comparison.
But in hindsight that might not be a bad thing.

Ha!  It's funny, every guy from back in the day says they broke many DDS shifters, but nowadays they are the most expensive/sought after ones!  Supply and demand I guess.....

Personally, I'd like to have a DDS shifter but I won't pay 500 or more bucks for it.  I'll keep looking for "deals".   

Besides, I love my current copper Hurst with the wood ball.  Wood ball is so much better than the black plastic, has a better "feel".

A pair of original Filstar air filters for IDA's.  They came with everything, including the blocks to the tops of the carbs that extend the air screen into the air cleaner and secure the base to the carbs.  These filters allow for the OEM air horns/stacks to be run.  The foam is toast, but that's no big deal.  Looking to run these on my Single Cab's new 2332.   8)

I had my engine out and the dual QPs looked a bit shabby so I contacted Jet Hot and asked about the cost of having them recoated. I was told they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and they would redo them for free, i just had to pay shipping. I explained that its because of my tranny puking gear lube and some oil and had nothing to do with their product and was told it didn't matter. So today it arrived about 10 days after I sent it. They even paid return shipping. 

After

finally found these at my town in KL, not in the best condition, but these rims seldom come up for sale in this part of the world, so i had to have them. all 4 same size, 6 inch wide with NO heart.

the satin finish is not what they look like, they are PAINTED over for now. will need to get some work done to them , i like how the wheels look like on DKK Fred's car.

I'm mounting the Halon bottle up here for the time being. But I'm leaving the cage clamps
just a little loose, in case of a roll over. Hopefully I'll never have to use it.

Congrats!  That is awesome!  I picked up a "WARD" frame a couple of years ago and through research determined that the dealer may have been in the Carolina's or possibly Virginia.  Unfortunately, they're long gone and I haven't found any more frames.  I think its great you got yours!   8)

Same case, no reason not to reuse it.

The rebuild was mostly due to noisy bearings, broken spider gear teeth and update the oiling and breather.

  What does an old style look like? I bought my 4 quite a few years ago but bought another one to use as a spare 3 1/2 years  ago  to  use on my spare and it has very high shine paint on the spokes. Came from CB and just too much trouble to send back. My old ones have sort of a flatish pebble look on the spokes.

How old - do you mean the very early ones with the heavier, squarer rim? If so, There were four of those on Tar Babe when Russell bought it. Very different to the usual style.

Interesting, I got my set sometime around 99 (I think) used through johnny Abbott.
If my memory serves me right I think they came off of James clays bug after it was
Painted black. Funnily enough I've been thinking of selling them & getting the new
ones. I had them chemically stripped, polished & repainted them myself.
I'll post a pic if I can find one.

THIS is the first generation Flat 4, we believe. Note how thick and square the rim is?

Sorry for the poor quality, but it's a bow-up of just one part of a larger photo of Tar Babe when we were first stripping it down...

Wow, they have Flat 4 cast in on the back? 5" wide? The main difference between the ones I have and post 2009 ones is the dimples on the flat part of the spokes and the part where the valve secures.

Baby got her new shoes today, just in time for the 18th annual KINGSBURG CAR SHOW on SAT. April 21. And again I'll carry the water for the entire VW community in Cali. It seems I have the only half decent VW in Central Calif. or all of Calif for that matter. Now this is no lame small town car show in the city park, we line the main streets of Kingsburg with hundreds of cars and thousands of spectators. If you're frightened by crowds or intimidated by triple 5 chevys with crate motors, stay home and polish your pea-shooters. Mean while an old timer who stutters will have a great time playing "show and tell" in your place.

Thanks Glenn, This is the  reason we got out of the VVWCA thirty years ago. The same old cars, the same old people doing the same thing at the same old shows.
We left and went to regular car shows, and eventually into the Concours circuit. We were well received, and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.

Here's the bottom line...Share your car with the people who are interested. The majority have had their fill of t-birds, vettes, mustangs and fuzzy dice. They may not know Gene Berg from iceberg, but their still curious. To me the fun part is describing your car, and having them share their VW experience with you. Unless it's a toilet, there's no reason to be ashamed of your VW. Personally I will not put my tail between my legs because the car next to me has a 6-71 sticking out of the hood (I can take him).

IMO being cloistered is the fast lane to extinction....need I point to the now former car clubs to prove a point.



Now if someone will help down off of this soapbox, I'll shut up.

Those hubs remind me of some of the scary things people did back in the day to meet the weight to cubic inch requirements for H/Gas and I/Gas.  Was talking with some people at the Schley home museum about this. The cars from the 70's would never pass an NHRA tech inspection today.

I'm currently waiting on a set of ratio rockers from some guy in Redmond, Oregon... only about three and a half hours to the north of me, it's been over a week and a half since he (supposedly) shipped them, but to date, nothing.  Every time I ask for a tracking number, he comes up with some flimsy excuse as to why he hasn't gotten it to me yet... until finally he said there's no tracking number on the receipt even though he asked for delivery confirmation and insurance (shipped USPS).
It's a minimal outlay, $45 with shipping, but it's the principle for me.  If they don't show up soon, I'm going to push for a refund.  Guess that's the risk one assumes on Craigslist, eh? lol.  ::)

Well, I can revise it and make it on point: the rockers showed up today in the mail.  Lol.  Funny how insistent the guy was that they'd been sent, but they weren't postmarked until Saturday, June 23, imagine that. At least I wasn't ripped off... knock on wood.

after a 2 years break in the subscription I was really happy to get the new issue today[attachment=1]

Can't wait to get mine!  Really looking forward to the split feature... when I first saw the car (and I think it was here on the Lounge) I wasn't crazy about the color, but loved the rest of it.  The color truly grew on me the more I checked out the pics, and I know there's a great story behind it.

One of us should buy the other schiefer on samba, eight-dowel it, bolt it to a healthy (but not huge) engine and see how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

Rick, yes, all roller cranks came with std mains already modified for the roller bearing rods. This way, when you replace them, you have something to go by for the next set of mains..

i saw the pawnstar guys got a bug and im sure the bald guy called it a voteswagen too

VWoA probably don't like anybody except them using the word Volkswagen...

oh yeah! i never thought about that, that would explain a lot then

Uhhh...Volkswagen has no bearing on who says any of its trademarked words. It's part of the Fair Use Doctrine, the same principle that lets news organizations use the brand name in the course of their work. Otherwise companies like BP would invoke a no-name mandate whenever its wells fail and fill the Gulf of Mexico with tar balls. Would be convenient, no?

Where Volkswagen draws the distinction is when other parties use the brand name to promote their own business (i.e. naming your shop with the maker's trademarked words). Shops can advertise that they repair or sell parts for Volkswagens (and Saabs and Chevrolets and whatever) but can't use any of the trademarked words (Clem's VW Repair for example) in their business names or use the makers' logos in their advertisements without Volkswagen's consent.

This is a far simpler case, though. People mispronounce Volkswagen (or library or nuclear or croissant or Porsche) largely because they're mouth-breathing idiots. The Pawnstars cast is a great example. The desert does weird shit to peoples' brains. And I know firsthand; I did 20 years in that godforsaken valley (I'm from Vegas; what's your excuse?).  ;D

The previous comments were clearly tongue in cheek, but none the less, I don't see how clever names such as "Vee Dub Parts" hurts Volkswagens bottom line one iota. They're just being assholes, and that will keep my butt out of any new VW.

That I was potentially stating the obvious nagged at me as I wrote that but it was the perfect opportunity to call television personalities idiots. I'm a fool and fools can be noble. Idiocy...not so much.

I really don't see how it could either. Nor could I see how Volkswagen could suffer if an independent shop used an image of a vehicle that has a giant Volkswagen logo as part of its nose design (Wolfgang Intl?). I mean Volkswagen put it there in the first place! But Volkswagen has a legal team directing in. Which raises another issue: The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.

I love the technology, but I can not support that company. I could understand VW's angle if they supported the owners of their classic cars (like MB does), but far as I can tell, they'd rather see the aircooled cars disappear.

Zach, so what about the Volkswagen Classic operation, supplying and manufacturing early parts? Also, did you know the senior designer at Wiolfsburg, Andreas Mindt, drives a big Type 4-motored early-'60s Beetle? Would rather drive a modern VW than apologise for a Honda... ;D


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: Zach Gomulka on October 16, 2012, 15:26:31 pm
I knew about Andreas, but not so much about VW Classics. If it is operated the same way as the MB parts is (with high quality parts available from your local dealer) I would be very impressed.
As far as the Honda quip... I work on all types of cars every day, and in my humble opinion, on average the Japanese cars are screwed together much simpler, and better than the ones from Germany.  ::)

4 Weber 48IDA carburetors. Sand cast aluminum serial numbered. Sat in a garage for the last 40 years. Purchased for a V8 project that was never completed. Have the original open ball bearing units on the throttle shafts with the leather sealing washer/spring assemblies. Those will be changed out and substitute the sealed self lubricated bearing units.

That's awesome and a clear perspective on history. How funny it is that people freak out about using Chinese parts in Volkswagen engines nowadays. Here's something to ponder. Those parts from that blueprint were made in Japan and in the late '60s and early '70s Japanese-made things were almost universally reviled as cheap and low quality. In retrospect, how many of us would turn up our noses at a set of NOS Empi Biral barrels? I sure wouldn't. Anyone who says they would is either ignorant or foolishly proud. This far along we've forgotten about Japan's post-war manufacturing image and see these parts as they are: high quality.

Like the Japanese the Chinese are as capable as any other nation in the world at making quality items. What holds China's image back is that importers often specify the lowest cost/quality so they can make a quick buck on huge markup. I've seen some absolutely stunning parts come out of China. They rival the quality of parts that came out of Western Europe or the US.

It's a matter of how not if China's quality evolves over the next decade. If the pistons and liners those blueprints made are any indicator then we're in for a welcome surprise.

I suspect the website:  vwparts.net was the problem.  There was a company called Virtual Worx that had the domain VW.org and had to give it up as well.

Got this from a Chinese website. I was very curious to see what you get for 32€ shipping cost included from china.
0-25mm
Inch/mm
0.001mm resolution
data output

Looks good, feel right in the hand albeit a bit heavy. Worked a bit rough out of the box, but work nicely after a few turns.

do you also get air-conditioning in your garage JF, just to get exactly the same temp with every measurement? ;D


funny today at work we are going to decide on new calipers (if it is called that way?) and we opted for non-digital ones as they always seem of during the day or even with the same measurement. even worse with cooling fluids. we'll try to eyeball things better in the future  ;D ;) or get the right tool.

Lol, yes I work in a sterile room with climate control  :D

I use normal micrometers and a digital caliper (Mitutoyo, very good stuff,IP67 rated ). But this one was so cheap that I couldn't leave it  ;D I have to confess, I'm tool-a-holic  :D  
I tried it tonight.

I purchased a vintage Lee Eliminator filter (LF-1) still in the box (1974) on e-Bay for a buy-it now for $5 including postage.. So how can I miss on this one, right? Got the package today, the postage on the box cost the shipper $8.83... So he lost $3.83, plus the price of the box from the post office, and the filter.

A pair of Kirkey Pro street seats...goes well with the theme of the car. Looks like a nice pair of Jaz poly seats/covers will go begging.  ;) 

Hey Phil --- how/what are you doing to mount those seats???? I'm needing ideas on how to mount mine

Thanks Harold

These might work, depending of course on your cage/pan

My own car is more of a challenge, the RLR cage seat mount is too low/narrow for Kirkey mounts. Better suited to the Jaz seats I'm replacing.

got another original magnesium brm today  8) This one look's perfect but it has been repaired on the inner bead but it is definitely a good wheel to run everyday....Found out is was welded by Ron Fleming in the late mid 70's for Jim Gaye who still work's at the yard on 5th and Rait in Santa Ana.

So if you can't own the famous February 1975 Hot VW's, why not pick up the 1976?  Prior to getting this I had no idea there was such an extensive write up defining the Cal-Look.  Pretty cool!  The old ad's are fun to look at as well.   8)

Scored another original magnesium BRM  :)

I hate it when people rain on parades like I'm about to do but that's a death wheel. The extent of that white fuzz indicates extensive pitting deep within the wheel that can propagate a nasty crack. 

I just went through dirty-mag hell with a Halibrand at Lonnie Gilbertson's shop. He's one of the few people who welds mag wheels. Even though the extent of the pitting wasn't terrible on this wheel parts of it pretty much evaporated as he welded. I took this photo after the second process of digging out pitting, piling in weld, and turning down most of the beads. The pock marks result from magnesium oxide expanding deep within the wheel when superheated. We gave up at this point and that's a very desirable early 16x5 non-vented wheel.

There's no reason to fear good, non-oxidized magnesium but that wheel has danger written all over it. Mag is one area where crust is definitely not cool. Proceed with great caution. That fuzz is like the tip of the iceberg and a wheel with that much damage could hurt someone badly.

No raining on my parade buddy because I agree with you 100% the white stuff on this wheel though is actually calcium and the wheel is encased in it I sand blasted alittle bit of it and it's nice under there and I pressed the lug inserts out also with ease and they look solid through the wheel also and it didn't crack like the other brm's that I've had that had pitting deep in the wheel as you have said. Gonna get it media blasted this week and there are a few pit's but only on the edge of the wheel where it sat on the ground from being on the side of the guy's house in Hawaii on the beach and that's an easy fix as I've had many brms repaired that were much much worse. But I wouldn't sell this wheel to anyone stating that it is a useable wheel though as I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt either. I intend to use it for my other projects I have in my stable  ;).

I almost bid on them, but at £180 a pair it was £30 to ship and £50 import duty!  They were cheap, I have seen recent ones go for almost double, but not treble.

I think they were reproductions from Florida, that someone tried to make look genuine.
P.S. The original stud seals from Empi were steel and rubber NOT plastic.

yeah, I ran one on my Vert and it is a really nice addition.  makes the throttle VERY smoothe.  Worth every penny.  Everyone should run one of these in a type 1.

If you want to buy one, be careful as they are 2 versions  ;)

I have one of those, I think it was prowagen that sold them, I might be wrong, as it doesn't have an invoice with it.

I haven't checked for any date codes, but I think judging by how hard they are.... They must be older than time itself. It's bizarre as they look great with no cracking on them at all which you tend to see on old tyres.

I don't see them providing any traction whatsoever, feel like they're made of granite and bakelite... It's about time I gave my line lock a good test anyway. :D They're good for mockup and getting my suspension dialled in too.  ;)

That is indeed the farmtruck team member AZN bug and it has been on the show already. After sorting some issues they street raced several cars including a new Nissan and Porsche and won all races. It is my favourite tv show and about the only show I watch.

It's the kind of show that you watch with the volume turned down, because the dialogue is God awful.  Horrible programming, IMO.  Monster Garage with the all-star crew of VW guys like Clyde Berg, Jack Sacchette, etc, was FAR better than this show.

I do not agree. As a car nerd I would like to see more details from the engine building and also more dyno time where they tune on nitrous and now also twin turbos. They talk shit just like you will hear on just about every car meet you attend but that is ok.

We prep our cars for the street, they prep the street for their cars

The last episode was the one where the fastest guys from Drag Week visited. They did not have a chance on the street against the Oklahoma guys.

Hehe I don't think you are off on this one Lee :-)
You don't get to race as one of the top players i drag week without knowing how to build and race a car.
So to show up at a street then and launch at 9000 rpm thinking you will actually have grip, should tell us all that his is a SHOW and not a documentary on street racing :-)
It sure is entertaining though, but in the end, it is just entertainment...

Murder Nova for the win!

A Hurst Airheart ignition like this. Won't be getting used as it's for points distributor. Thinking of dummy mounting it on my brothers gassers firewall or gutting it and putting a pertronix rev limiter in it, might just keep it with my other goodies on the "wall of speed".

Seen an advert from 1974 for one so it's pretty old!  ;D

The sellers username gave the game away, I knew he'd be on the lounge.  ;D

Was only £15 for a cool looking ganip ganap anyways. I'm a sucker for old hurst parts.

Beats paying what this guy is asking!

Now the set is complete.

Last week I got a VDO Jet Cockpit gauge for Oil pressure with box and senser.
Seems to be in pretty good condition.
(I`m thinking about selling it, cause I havn`t got other gauges from this series)

A big thank you to Mr Jyrki Laune. Patient, informative and helpful messages.
Well written, all questions answered and photos received as requested.
A pleasure to do business with you sir  :)

Plus I don't think I've ever received anything packed so well

Thanks again

This beauty :

Wow. That's sumpin' else. It's pretty easy to see why you're so pumped up. I've scavenged for years but I'm not quite at the stage where I can justify one.

I do weddings and Bar Mitzvas too.

Seriously, that's a nice piece of hardware. Pauter? Three stage?


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: spoolin70 on March 05, 2014, 09:44:39 am
Yeah I am pretty pleased  ;D

It's a Pauter 4 stage. It's got a collector/manifold fitted in the pic that's why there is only 2 ports.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't cheap but after a few messages from Jyrki, I was convinced it was worth it.

Plus I got these super super cheap at a swapmeet at the weekend to use with the pump.
All genuine Goodridge and all hardly used.
[attachment=1]
[attachment=2]

Short ones are AN12, the longer are AN10 and the last one is AN16
The seller had more for sale at home as his race car/team is sponsored by Goodridge
and he has upgraded to Teflon hoses so these fittings were going spare/cheap (I'll be getting more  ;) )

it started off more like a challenge on the 21st April, i was bored at work and wondered if these guys can make anything, never thought they would manage to do it, 1 month later they came up with the actual item and a week later shipped to my friend's house!

been wanting a correct looking vert lid for years, nobody makes repros for 58-67.

There are a couple of people making vert lids from real VW steel lids for all years by stamping out the vents, one is in Sweden & I think the other is in Germany, checked them both out and look real good


Title: Re: and what did you get in the mail today?
Post by: pupjoint on May 29, 2014, 10:05:52 am
they are steel.  i havent seen them in person as i got them shipped to my friend's house since my home is always empty and i work out of the country.

my friend commented the holes were a bit "rough" and everything was hand made.

they are made by the same guys who made those stainless steel bumpers in Vietnam.

We did buy the 62 SC and the 64 13w in the background, they are both sold on now. We also picked up a 68 deluxe bay (will be for sale soon) and an unbelievably solid and straight 65 13w that I just drove to it's first show/campout last weekend :) We are going to dial that one in and hang on to it for a while. We also picked up two Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spyders from the same owner, a 59 and a 64. The 59 was NICE! But they were both sold to a restorer in Northern California.
That was a great pick :) We are on the lookout for more.

Hi Zach,

Can you help to send a vehicle to Europe? I spotted a few ones while browsing through ads and think it would be cool to be able to buy one  :)

Post by: neil68 on October 19, 2014, 20:21:30 pm
I elected to try the Wasp 2, as I'm looking at boosting HP a bit more.  It starts with 1 5/8" pipe at the exhaust port flange, then 1.75" and then 2" just before the collector.  I'm going to experiment with my current Stinger and Magnaflow muffler.

Thanks, for sending me your MS230 flow numbers...239+ cfm is more than advertised!

5-pin HEI modules, one spare just in case!

Energise the extra pin, and the module takes out 6 degrees of timing. Really big spark when using my rebuilt Bosch points SVDA.
Good for starting, or when you need to retard timing suddenly at the flick of a switch for any reason........

Well I just got home and there were a set of 4 BIG WHEEL rim's with 3 caps and a speedwell steering wheel in front of my garage...about a year ago some young kid wanted a set of 5 spokes I had since they were just aftermarket American Eagles and Not the real deal I just gave it to him since I got them with a pile of some real empi stuff I scored a few day's before. Well he said he bought a baja the other day and he knew I liked weird wheels and wooden steering wheels so he just gave them to me since he said 2 of them were broke and he didn't like the steering wheel much and said it would have a better home with me so with all the bad things happening to me health wise lately this made my day  :)[attachment=1][attachment=2]

That's the one.  1302/3/superbeetle front.   However check before you order as some have one long spring for the bottom rather than 2 short.

Hi viNce.
My cam is a baby Schneider I ordered that won't spin past 6000 really, and I'm using small valves that weigh a bit less than stock.
Comp 26113s will give me 97lbs seat at 1.55", and the Comp retainers weigh 1/2 the stock ones, so it should be perfect.
 ;D

Your combo is the next step up from mine. I'm glad they worked out well.  8)

Well I have already started making my own stamp on my new '67

First up is a vintage US liscence plate surround, its just round the corner from a friends house so thought that was cool

(http://www.modernforces.com/img/new_site/VW_1.jpg)
(http://www.modernforces.com/img/new_site/VW_6.jpg)

And a nice NOS Talbot mirror arrived and the little plastic blanking plate for the hinge pin

(http://www.modernforces.com/img/new_site/VW_2.jpg)
(http://www.modernforces.com/img/new_site/VW_3.jpg)

And finally a crate of Fuchs arrived, 2x 6inch and 3x5.5, they need work but pretty solid. I am hoping to restore these myself, will see how I get on. I might keep the gas burners and put some slicks on them for some strip action.

They are kind of...you send the lengths of shock you require and they make them up. There are two kinds, the ones i have which have a single 14 way adjuster. They also do a race spec one, which has separate adjustment for rebound and compression.

My mate was on holiday to Japan and kindly popped into Flat4 Tokyo,
 to pick up a few bits for me. T shirt stickers and 40th anniversary plaque
which ties in nicely with me being 40 this year as well.

Ron.....^^^^^I have the same Vintage Rev Limiter and tach. I got them from a someone who used to have a race car in the 80's and 90's. He used it with a Berg Stinger S-4 ignition module which I also got with the tach and limiter. IMO these are old school parts that can work very well. The Berg's used to sell all of these parts and I have an older Berg catalog that has these in it.

Hi Jeff

Good to know they work well, I was just lucky to find it on a site as the magneto stuff seems thin on the ground

It's earmarked for a small engine old school project I'm collecting parts for.

Very cool.

Has anyone compared Bilstein's to Koni's on a Beetle?

There has been a lot of discussions about these before. Conclusions were Konis were “better” for the street and Bilsteins were “better” for the track or something to that extent.

Bilsteins USA and Taiwan have revalving and rebuilding services.

I wanted to try Bilsteins as I have been using Koni reds for about 2 decades.

I have only driven it for about 40 miles, I find the Bilsteins are not as firm/harsh as reported and I can accept the ride for a daily driver. I am from a country where road condition is what I would say above average.

On hand, the Bilsteins have “harder” compression and rebound, the Konis have near stock compression but hard rebound.

Well, I used to swap cams every couple years, mostly Engle, Web, Bugpack, etc ;)
I've been driving with the JPM 274-degree for five years now and it's been a great cam, totally reliable and mid-12's in the quarter mile drags.  I wanted to step up to either the Engle FK89 or the JPM 00408 cam which both have 282 degrees of duration.  However, Johannes indicated that he had several new grinds coming out and suggested his 10009, so I'm going to give it a try :)

I was talking with Al the other day, and he has just a cable repair option you can do without sending it back out to California for it.

I’m just guessing this one needs the cable! Great score

Post by: Larry S on March 22, 2018, 18:42:53 pm
yes you can buy the cable and do it yourself pretty easy. I had worked on my old one years ago but I just didn't feel like messing with it and I get such a great UPS rate I sent it out and they turned it around in a couple of days. it was also missing the lockout plate so I had them send one with it, should be good to go now just to finish the rest of the car...lol.

Not a fan of aftermarket wheels I’ve always ran original wheels on all my vw’s but I was very impressed with the look of this aftermarket Empi torque thrust D spoke that was modified into a 4.5 with the face popping out I had to have them.  Very well made and I intend to use them in my next ride.

Scored a set of rare American racing magnesium torque thrust wide 5 rims but had to buy the 59 semiphore ragtop that was posted on the samba yesterday to get them.  The car is rust free and straight but the wheels were what I was after. The wheels look ugly but they are straight and true only one wheel with a tiny curb rash on it other than that the wheels Are nice.  Gotta clean them up.

I was just thinking of walnut blasting them and polish the lip like Joe Ruiz did his they came out nice besides in about 4-6 weeks they are dark grey again anyways. These oxidize much quicker than my BRMs do.

Hi Glauco!

Yes, i did them myself, they are for the usual K&N idf/drla filters.

In this one the trumpets are 53mm high and the filter bottom sit about 10mm above so with a 80mm high filter there is about 40mm  space to the filter-top i am using a 100mm filter so there is more than enough room left for the "airguides".

They are also 2mm off center so they sit a bit closer to the fan shroud.

After i tested them and i know they work and can handle the temps  and stress in the enginebay i can make a (custom) set for you if you like.

Nice greetings

Marcel

Don't suppose you'd want to sell the black one? ???
I already have a wooden one, and a GTV wheel, but am looking for black rather than wooden to suit my car....
Cheers,

Depth gauge for me. I'm thinking of going through the original 1192 mill from my bug. No idea what the end game there is, but where's the fun in that?

I've heard that a late 1200 motor is a good basis for something a bit more lairy because they dont rev hard enough to pound out main bearings and so on. Maybe turn it into a 2007 or a 2165 so you've got a performance engine with the original matching numbers?

Oh, don't do that, you'll get me in trouble. I'm ok with the current 1776 for now. For start, I wound that 1192 up to 75 mph once, maybe 3750rpm - its probably ruined  ;D

Ive got a late mexican 1200 that dropped a valve - theres a bitnof damage inside the case where the head of the valve rattled about, but i figured it'd all be machined out  if i had it cut for 94mm pistons! One day I'll get around to it!

Can't believe myself how they turned out, it was a last minute thought in the shop to grab the metallic paint instead of regular black.  I used this and rubbed down with grey scotch brite. They were blasted so have nice texture which helps too.

I got these for half price on a clearance sale, so like you were too good to pass up on. Was thinking of leaving the lips als, instead I've just rubbed them some more for a little contrast.

The problem is that I can't do a direct upload from the DVD - trying to find a Mac-compatible piece of software that will allow me to do so, and also single out specific clips to upload. The easy alternative (which I used to post a couple of pieces on my Facebook page) is to take a video of the video(!) using my phone, but the quality is, naturally, terrible!

This is freeware and great at ripping:
https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
I use it all the time to rip my daughters DVDs onto the iPad (and then VLC to play them back)

And if you choose a Mac happy format to rip it to you should then be able to use iMovie (or whatever its called now) to trim it down..

Of course! DVDs are great to have for your library, but they should be able to give you both a download link and the opticals, which would be the most convenient, saving you the extra work and hassle.

No pictures, but I got a pair of Honda bike throttle bodies with adaptors to bolt up to IDF manifolds last week. They'd previously been run on a 1911cc type 4 motor with megasquirt. Not sure if I'll use them on my Beetle instead of the 48IDFs, or on my wife's bus, but I've got plenty of time to decide.
And I know next to nothing about EFI...

This was a surprise today these original dated 7/67 original sprint stars showed up at my door step today (Sunday) they were in an empi imp up in Northern California and the guys property was engulfed in the fires over there so the wheels survived just the outters on the 4.5’s are warped but the centers are nice and straight and the 8 inch wheels still straight and true. Sold them to me cheap. Glad I will be able to save them.  And get them back on the road for me or someone else.

I always thought that the 8" ones would look awesome under stock rear wings with a tabbed rear end...

Awsome idea !! I’ve seen enough 8 inch smoothies anyways so let’s try these on my black 67 when I have them detailed 😎

I'm just looking forward to having some decent shocks on my car for once!

And they are. Enjoy!!! They will control your alloy wheels and tyres much better than the stock units. We have pretty much the same combo fitted and the difference for me was night and day. I set my front shocks to the softest setting and the rears to 1/2 more than softest as I wanted a nice controlled ride but avoid choppiness as with the (near) blanket 20mph limit and near mandatory speed humps here in London, UK my old back can no longer take a rock hard ride!
Sure you will but dont forget to only hand tighten the bolts until you have the car on its wheels on the ground and then torque/tighten fully so that you dont rip the rubber. It seems a touch more compliant than the stock stuff.
Have fun!! Marc

That's good to know! I've only ever put cheap front shocks on this car, the rears are undoubtedly older than I am, so I'm really looking forward to a bit of control!

Mild resto mod.
PAT is significant and there is shit loads of rust to do.
Tangerine paint, ally Steelie wheels, mild lowering and turbo T1 engine to keep weight down
