How old's your little guy? Mine just passed 8 weeks, he's already been to the track once!!! I think building a dub for your son sounds just about perfect!

He`s six months now, and just fantastic. You have a lot to look forward to.
His firs VW event was just ten days after his birth. (I have to start the brainwashing process early, cause no jap crap is allowed on my property!) :D

Since the body is too damaged by rust, I will concentrate on getting the floorpan and drivetrain / brakes etc ready first.
Haven`t done much lately, but I have got a new engine for the car. ;)

When finnished, this engine will be looking like the stock 25HP, but deliver about 80HP.

Lookin' great all the way around! What's up with the Notchback?

Jason

Thank`s. The Notchback is my wife`s moter`s car. My wifes father restored the car about fiwe years ago. Has won several prices, and is still in mint condition.

All very nice cars, including the Touran! ;)

Where did you get the carbon fiber sheets for the fire wall?

Hi.

Bought it from www.gundersenmotorsport.no but I would guess that several companies selling parts for motorsport is able to get CF sheets.

Hi, Is the Heigo roll cage a bolt together kit like on their website or is it welded at every joint? How much did it run you?

This is bolted together, exept from the boxes that has to be welded underneath the dashboard and at the bottom of the B pillars.

It`s been quiet here for a while, but some minor changes has been done. Got myself a set of Porsche 7x15" Teledials with Toyo R888 tires for trackuse.
This weekend I attended scandinavias biggest car-event www.gatebil.no and had a blast! A feature on the car will come on www.speedhunters.com, and there is a picture of the car in this thread: http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/07/...rnal-sunshine/

Can't reach your profile / car feature on the main site anymore. It's been so long, didn't realize you were a member!

Just posted about your car last week: http://www.germanlook.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11663

Any chance you can give us some details & photos?

-Dave

Sure, will update this thread with some pictures soon. :)

I thought I recognized that car!!! I try to peek in on SpeedHunters as much as possible, and caught a shot of yours yesterday! Looking forward to the feature. Did you see the turbo BMW powered red bug?

Jason

Yes, I saw it at our Gatebil event in Sweden, but I didn`t have the time to get a closer look at it. I think Speedhunters will feature it.

In September they might get to do this Norwegian bus and bug as well. :)

Here is one other photo of the car taken at the Gatebil event.

Looks excellent!!

Here is the Speedhunters story on the red Swedish BMW powered bug: http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/07/...nks-its-a-bmw/

Awsome ride!
I have (I think) the same wheels, what kind of tire are you running?

Thank's. They are Porsche Teledials 7x15" from a 944. The other set is 7x17" from a Audi/Porsche RS2.

Finally, the article is published. http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/04/...oking-porsche/

I know you're running the R888's, but what size are you running?

What's the width/offset on the Teledials?

Thanks!

-Dave

They are 195/50 R 15" (not perfect for long straights, but on a short track they work just fine)
The wheels are 7x15" but I don't remember the offset.

Much appreciated. I figured you were using a 50-series tire. I'm currently running 205/60 and 195/60's on my bug, but with the rear tires almost bald I'm finding it impossible to get "fun" tires (read: sticky) in a 60 series 15". Might have to drop down to a 50 series.

-Dave

Hello mate, really nice car. Any idea where i can get your tailights, i think that they are Hella right? Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Yes they are Hella`s and can be ordered here:

Thanks, but yours are smoked.

Well, they were bought from Hoffmann-Speedster, but it is a few years back.
