Lil Stink Hound

[stussyrich]

If you have read this in the pure racing section there are updates at the end of this thread of the build.
thought it was better to post it here as it is a build thread now.

hereLil Stink Hound the story so far. A brief rundown.

no way i'm gonna remember it all, i've slept since then..


This is my 65 uk bug with full history.
It all begins with the car looking like this when i bought it 5 years ago.





The idea was to build a street car with a 2 litre motor, so here you are.











As you can see a whole lot of work went into this build.
The car was driven on the street in the guise for several years until i joined the SAS Renn Wagens and decided to race it.

The full specs are...

2332cc 84x94
044 oval port heads 42x37.5 with 1.4 rockers
web 86c cam
48IDA webers

Engine did 189bhp @6500rpm and 172ft lbs torque@ 4500 rmp on the jaycee dyno.

kcr built pro street box 4.12 ring and pinion, stock 1st 2nd 3rd and an 0.89  4th.

Here is a run down off events and times the car has done upto now, with a few changes on the way.

The first time out was at vw action 2009 where it ran a 13.6, a club qualifying time.





As you can see the car had a change of wheels and tyres for the event to aid with traction and gearing.

Next comes york for the ACE vs ASS shootout and a new pb of 13.2 @ 102mph.





next out was Minis vs beetles at york but no pb and a most embarasing spin on the track.
I'll sort out the video link.



next out did a rwyb day and droppped my ET to 13.0, oh so close to that 12 i'm chasing.



The car was fitted with a set of buggy seats which ment modifying the set mounts and the battery cut of switch.
Also i added a line lock to see if i could get some heat into the tyres.







Next up the facelift and some more mods...

To start with the pedal assembly was modified with the adition of a moon pedal and a custom linkage.





Most of the mods were cosmetic involving another load of pinstriping and gold paint.



Next up was big bang and after a couple of runs managed to completely destroy the clutch on the start line so we changed it at the track so i could drive it home.













And thats the damage. A very broken kushloc disc.
And yes i drove it home, all 3 hours.

[stussyrich]

Time for a new set of front wheels.
Zero offset centerline bubbles.
Biggest problem i had was having to clearence the calipers and add wheel spacers.









thought i'd add some more gold.



Next outing was the drag day and a mission of running a 12 on radials before the slicks would go on.

Second run 12.99. on with the slicks and ra 12.8

The 356 rims were borrowed of a mate and painted gold and the second hand slicks were added.



vw action 2010.

Managed to run a 12.64 in the night racing any got myself a trophy.
learned how to use the line lock aswell...













Next up drag aday 2011. no pb but a 12.8 on treads.



this made it into volksworld.






Before big bang 2011 alot of the changes included removing everthing that wasn't necessary including the lights, doorcards, rear end, decklid etc.
Jazz fuel cell was added.
The windows were replaced with lexan and the race weight erco's were put on, Some rollcage mods were done including doorbars and a dash bar.

oooops.


Rollcage mods


had to move the guages down.




Lexan windows and cal look rubbers.




Jazz fuel cell


Rear end was removed and wing stays added, also the filter had to be re mounted as there is no inner wings






big bang 2011 saw the car evolve into a race car with alot of changes.

It ran a 12.51 PB so i moved upto 4th in the Renn Wagen et board.

[stussyrich]

Next up on the list is the best show i've ever been to... EBI 4.
Ran a new pb of 12.38 @106mph.

You tbe link to a video.

The car named and lightened further with a bit of 108 octane race fuel thrown in for good measure.
Oh and has a box chance for a KCR build pro drag with 3.88 ring and pinion. 3.78 1st 2.21 2nd 142 3rd and 1.12 4th with a jaycee alloy spool.

The cooling has come of it.


had to cut the rear valance out to re fit it as i needed too run the deckid.


The name was designed by myself and a mate printed it onto vinyl, i took the doors of the car and added the logo and knifed around the letters and cartoon. luckily had a spare done so put that on the decklid.














Vw action 2011 say the car run a 12.46 in the night racing.. 12th place is ok.

Took the Mrs out for her first run in the car. 12.8 isn't to shabby 2's up.

[stussyrich]

Just a small update this week but every little helps.

Oil filler neck replaced.

[stussyrich]

So ok on the way home from work i decided to stop off at b&q, £16 lighter i headed home to do a trial peice on the car which i think has come out perfect. It looks very subtle in the daylight which is what i wanted. So may go a bit mad with it. The first pic makes it look darker than it is.

before anyone says anything yes it is shiny and i'm a bit unsure about it.

[stussyrich]

As per usual im just a bit more excited than i should be so done some more tonight.

[stussyrich]

Been at it again tonight. :D:D

front panel sorted



started on the roof and rear end.

[Mirco Jufer]

Thanks
Looks very nice!!
Do you make all the work by your self?

[stussyrich]

Striping tape turned up today so did an hour after work.
It's gold 2mm, very happy with the results. The stripe shows of the panels well.

[stussyrich]

got a bit more done tonight, masked out around the door tops ad windows, sprayed it and pinstriped.

[Bathtub57]

That's so cool, looks like it was done 40 years ago, a beautiful evolution and some good ETs to boot! Well done.

[stussyrich]

Cheers for all the comments guys, it's inspired me a little today.

Thought id see what i could de with the lettering as it doesn't stand out enough.

So here goes... I masked out some of the lettering on the decklid ( just incase it looked shit) and painted it gold the same as the trim and then decided to add some flake to it.

so happy with the results....

[stussyrich]

After the succes of the deckild, putting the lid next to the car i realised that the it was perect for whet i wanted so i got the door off the car and sat on the garage floor with on on my knee and masked out the lettering and painted it the same and the lid.

The paint changes colour slightly in the sunlight which looks ace.

lil stink hound loves getting in on the action so thought i'd better give him some credit for the cars name.

[stussyrich]

Don't think i spend all of my time in the garage, i like thrashing the car too.

[stussyrich]

Got to the track yesterday and straight off the trailer i ran a PB 12.27@107.1mph with a 1.66 60ft.

second pass was a new PB of 12.12@108 mph with a 1.62 60 ft. 

Ran another 12.2 then fourth run i dropped the tyre pressures down 1psi to 12psi and only did a small burnout, the car lifted the front wheels of the tarmac for the first time.

The side winds got to much after that so called it a day and headed home.

hopefully some vids to follow soon.

So hopefully after a bit more tuning on the suspension and maybe a prepped track i'm pretty confident about an 11......
