2010 - hopefully a better one. than 2009



ok, projects projects... should concentrate... but what can you do?
harley and KG would be both cool to have in the streets...but lets see what will end to use...
well with the harley, i have to get nuts and bolts, and some minor things...
the exhaust that was done in voodoo, is not what i wanted...so ill try first to put the "original one with some mods... + the seat...hmmmm... i paid for a new one...what i got is a used one...
but ebay is full of these... so that will do the trick... more to come...

2010 - hopefully a good one.





one big thing on my mind has been this one... my chopper sportster.
its been in voodoo metal 3 years... we just picked it up, to get it finished and maybe even to the road again... thanks so much for Jussi Jyranko, who was a biiiig help again.
looks pretty good, a classic semi swedish style chopper... better late than never... :-)
i want to thank also Jussi Halonen from Voodoo metal for the mods, the result is beautiful.
...ok it took 3 years but still the stance is awesome.

Go BIG - or go home! ;-)






heheh, ...plan for the 2010 ....well, first i´m going to pay loads of bills, then lets see...i would need a flange crank, h-profile rods, oxyboxer block, some heavy studs etc... well many parts and s shit-load of dineros. ;-)
...at rancho they told me that they are starting to build my transmission "this week"...lets see, i´ve heard that story so many times in these years, from the porsche-912-story...and the harley chopper is not better at all... nothing has happened in voodoo metal, only talk. :-(

but i have good set of critical GO-FAST goodies...

happy new year! 2010 & some plans...






havent been that much at the garage, mostly working and babysitting.
but i have checked the front brakes from the 912, but theres some minor grinding/spacer issues...
that has to be taken care of...
Today i was at the country side, to check out things at the cottage...it was beautifull out there, everything was covered in a thick layer of snow... it was minus 15 degrees, but the twilight brothres panel said...that he´s still alive...ok it didnt start right up. JIMI was really happy.
"paku" (panelvan) is he´s favourite of daddy´s cars.

christmas coming early? final part!











merry X-mas to you all! my x-mas presents are in here. some hard core vw parts.
autocraft 910 heads from the devils hot rod, have to say that they are great. some say that it had 666 hp, well cant tell, but 9.3 sec from a steel bodied pan car is pretty fast. n´est pas?
they need some alu-welding, and machining, but that was just what lauffer bros told.

the question is that should we convert them to 4" pistons & watercooling or not?
because i have the 2332 cc turbo-engine, which could benefit from these heads.
the 4" version would be pretty tempting...topped with this turbo-setup ( ok maybe with haltech )
...the 4" cylinders and venolias came from franklin (usa) and they look great also, the fins are small, but i would guess that with a monster turbo-2.7 liters e85 alcohol-stormer, i wouldnt use it as a dailydriver... ;-)

well the other autocraft 910 pair that i have came from the welder, and they are going to be finished by p.laitinen/kangasniemi... hmmmm... maybe a small comparo with these heads would be fun...which flows better...or does it really matter?

MERRY X-MAS - where ever u are!

porsche brembo/turbo brakes - part 3






i got my turbo brakes back from Kangasniemi. Mr. Laitinen made some custom brackets for 944 turbo brakes to 912 struts. they are the banana shaped ones. the ball joint housing needs a minor grinding, but not much, maybe 1-2 mm from one side. it starts to look pretty cool. i would have also the Big red ones, but i´ll keep em for the future... ;-) you never know what pops to my mind.
maybe they would be cool in the steyr...? i also have the 3.0 engine under dismantling.
the engine will have some parts to be changed...like the crank from a 70.4 mm to a 76.4 mm rods will be changed also...and the cylinders are going to be changed from the original 95 mm to "tyre smoking" 100 mm with some JE (high-CR) pistons ;-) so the brake update is more than welcome... these with some 50mm PMO´s, good cams, light flywheel etc... well you get the picture...

christmass is coming early - part 5



i just got a package from US CHROME...100 mm porsche 911 cylinders, from a 3.6 liter engine.
these, with 76.4 mm crank + rods, will give a 3,6 liter engine. these parts will be found in my 3.0 engine. ;-) - have to buy the 50 mm pmo´s also. so it will be a sleeper 3.0. the cylinders are really beautifull. thanks for us chrome!
