Just wondering what everyone will be up to this fall/winter.
Who's building what, more HP? new paint? new car?
*I have my hands full with the Porsche bus, It's still a long way off and hope to have it done for the spring.
*Somewhere inbetween now and then I would like to go thru my motor in the oval.
*Finish the interior in the notch.
*Build a full length roof rack for the bus.
*Start a new project oval B)
Now all I need is time and money :blush:
-
I'd tell ya but then I'd have to kill ya :)
Paint a la Slammed Bus is on order for this winter.
And a little of this and that on the engine...
-
Time and money. Kinda funny how they both go hand in hand. Well, now that the ghia is done and Ive came to the track and \"schooled\" someones ass :wacko: , I want to build a manx. Soooooooo, if anyone knows about the wherabouts of one, please let me know.
-
I'm Beefin' up the power and the tranny, so I can hit the strip with some respectible times, and if the budget permits I'll be finishing the interior as well.
-
I don't know if anybody is interested, but I'm building a new gearbox. My old gearbox did a \"Lanny\", but not quite as badly.
-

Yea in cloverdale/surrey
Corner of 60th and 188th. There is a set of lights at the intersection( may be pedestrian controlled) . North east corner house, tucked up right beside it on the north side about 40' off of road.
Since I have moved I don't want it anymore.

Hey Snapper Head I know of 2 f/g buggies in Delta. I think they are the ones Bow Wow used to sell. I talked to the guy a few years ago about them and he said they would never be for sale but I can get the adress for you if you want to try him again. It's by my folks place near Delview Park.

SAVE MONEY

MOTOR FOR DOUBLECAB. The rest I can deal with as it comes up..... brakes and such. It'll be on the road if it kills me next year. Time and money ................................
-
I hope to Graft the rag roof into my 58.
Start the 57 vert, Mark and bag it, look at it get upset and walk away.
And try to dummy up the motor for PROJECT 56 CANADIAN OVAL WITH A BLOWER!!!
Im sure I'll screw that up too!
And sell the rest of my stuff off so I can buy a house!

I know of one. Not sure if it's a real Manx but it sure as hell looks like one.
I know it's not one of the cheesy-looking ones though.
No motor, but it's on an IRS and I believe it's registered.
PM me next week. I'll talk to the owner on the weekend and see if he's willing to part with it.
Oh, it's in Surrey as well.
Cheers...

-
Finish off the 2332 for the 56, and get all the drivetrain done for it also. Hopefully have the body in primer by late winter. Have the car ready for next years GCVWS.
Spend some time getting the mechanical done on the 53 BD singlecab so I can use it for what is was designed for next summer.
Ice race the hell outta my Scirocco while I fly past blown up Honduhs on the track. :lol: Yeah I know it's watercooled, but it's a helluva a lot of fun, and it makes the winter fly by. :D
-
Oh... I just remembered another buggy and a car both side by side in White rock in the back yard on corner of 10th ave and 164th st.

-

I know exactly where it is but the problem is the owner doesn't like people knowing where he lives. I'll be chatting with him some time on the weekend so I'll run it by him and see if I can arrange a time for you to have a look at it.
I'm sure if I mention money he'll be a little more understanding.
If I forget by next week (which I probably will) drop me a line and remind me.
Cheers!

You bet HansK,... it's about the only think that will keep me sane during the long winter months. It's a hoot to race, and only increrases my driving skill.
What kinda car/class did you race?
-
Hans talking ice racing what happened to you partner in crime martin didn't he ice race to?
-
I ran my 72 super beetle with a really tired 2180 , not the fastest car out there but could have pulled a tree out of the ground if I wanted to . It could take allmost anything out of the corners . Racing a rear engine car on ice is an art I allmost mastered . There was two classes -unlimited with studs or unlimited on ruber(very scary) Friends of mine would take an old stock rabit and blow away the stock hondas . Then the honda boys would spend big bucks on their motors and that was the end of that. Body panels sure take beating in that sport . What class you run Trevor ?
Hey Marty , Martin was the one who got us into ice racing then they all quit and I stayed in it for a few more years . Just talked to Martin today , he's doing good .
-
Ok hans you cant tell me you don't have any pictures !Lets see some beetle ice racing
-
I get my bus back from the paint man this weekend, i'm gonna put in back together, slap an interior in and get it ready for school. trade in my ford tempo so i can drive my bus to grade 12 and run those honda civics off the road.
-
We are running 2L under on studs. The cars for the most part are suppose to be stock, but there is some room for suspension upgrades and such. We used to have an unlimited class years back, but it kinda killed the scene here for awhile cause there were only a few guys that could afford to sink that much coin into an ice car. That class will come back eventually though I hope... as I have plans for a highly modifed iceracer in the future.
Yeah,...lets see some pics of your Beetle iceracer! :rockon: There used to be a guy out here that had one with a small 2L and a turbo,...kicked everyones ass! B)
-

Okay , come on over , I'll show them to ya :lol: :lol:
sorry guys , all my pictures are the old kind that you hold in your hand :(
-
Ya unlimited was bad enough when you could only run 20 studs per foot , limited the traction a lot . then they changed it to something like 30 or more or you could build your own tires with bolts or something. then the guys with power ($$$$) got really fast . I beleive a beetle is the ultimate ice racer with the right driver .
-
We all build are own tires on the same pattern. 9 bolts per foot. We experimented with a new type of bolt last season, and it worked awesome. They last way longer, and don't get as many flats like the old ones.
You got a scanner?,...then we can all see the iceracing pics. :D
I think a beetle makes an excellant racer also, butI would like to try a 914 for the mod class.
-
Here you go , this looks like a safe buggy
