Nice meaty tyres! And i like the solution you did on the rims of the cookies.

Thanks, it wasn't cheap but neither was buying 3 piece rims so that I could get the correct offset.

I did feel a little guilty having genuine Porsche wheels modified, I'm over it now

Here in the Netherlands a lot of genuine Porsche rims are massacred for the auto cross (widened and narrowed). And after some beating they will end up in the trashcan.....
So don't feel guilty

I took my Beetle out to Powerplay on the weekend, fitted up the new M&H for a few heat cycles (skids)

Hi

Finally got a dry Wednesday night so I took my bug out to the drags.

Getting used to launching and shifting gears again, I need some improvement.

I was getting some wheel hop which I'm sure caused me to break a drive shaft. I need to tie the motor and trans down a bit better

Its a custom drive shaft, modified 944 with a 930 CV flange welded on. The guy who made them cant do anything for 5 weeks so I'm trying to organise getting one done so that I can run at the VW Nationals Supersprint.

If anybody knows of someone that could help with welding and machining let me know.

Best ET was 11.803 and best MPH 124.29

Hi

I had some new billet 944 stub axles made in in EN26.

Im fitting some Subaru Group N engine mounts when they turn up from Japan and Ive fitted Superpro urethane bushes to the front engine mount cross member. Hopefully this might help my wheel hop issue

That are some nice pieces sir!

Last year I fitted some twin Spal fans to my 944 radiator. I had to cut the housing a bit to fit them.

I've just fitted dual thermo fan switch in radiator as used in Alfas. It has the same M22 thread that's in my radiator.

The only one I could find with a suitable temperature range was made by Tridion with Operating Temp: 92°C - 87°C & 97°C - 92°C
