Great things happening!

I got jimi to help me, as my wrist is somehow broken, 

as the res of my body, but anyways...

we took the old gearbox off, it was only there for moving the bug.

now we put the drag race gearbox IN!

there's also karpiola race axles, and mister

Kotten fixed all the gremlins off.

so now we are getting somewhere. at last.

have to go to shop more big nuts and bolts too. 

this will be great. now the big question is ... 

Turbo 76x94 or ATMO 84x94?

or Turbo 84x94?

what do you think?

 

need for speed part 2

 this time we visited räyskälä airfield, test & tune - drag races. But with the karmann ghia, as i haven't been able to test it at the strip at all. well it was a cool day, but disappointing for the time slips. as my best was the first pass. 14.1 @ 166 km/h. the engine shakes a lot, tires loose the traction... at the first attempt. 

second is worse, doesn't go to the second gear as the engine shakes more. so the time was baaaad.

third pass was easier on the start, as i wanted more grip. but, at the second gear clutch was toasted, third gear same, and the fourth too. that was around 16 sec. 

but now i know that what i have to do. for the next season. a lot of things. :-) will see. the day was one of the best of this year. as was the kiikala burn out party 2025. i need more practice, and a good plan. But fellow vw enthusiast, you need to get to the strip. there's not many. :-(
