Here here.....this is what this forum is all about rather than some of the other negative threads being posted at the minute.

Keep posting the pictures Phil.

As above.

Sadly it's common to a lot of internet forums.
Perhaps because a user name makes people feel anonymous, perhaps because they just type their thoughts whereas in the real world they would think before they say things out loud for fear of a punch in the mouth. I don't know.

If it's something good/interesting/informative/amusing, lets all see it, the use of private messages is for things that should stay private.

My little rant. Sorry. That's it, I keep to good/interesting/informative/amusing from now on.

Hope to see some of you tomorrow, please make yourself known as I've not met any of you before.

Cheers, Bob.

Engine looks very mean. :cool:

Nice looking motor Phil, love those duplex timing chains. Shame they'll be hidden behind a cover. Got any pics of the lightened flywheel?

Will have to drop in for a chat while you're swapping engines. :)

fly wheel just for you towed
2 Nov 2015, 6:25pm
Nice, that should help the motor to pick up revs. Any idea where the seller got it or had it machined?
21 Nov 2015, 2:16pm

Looking very slick indeed Phil. So, 200bhp, 600kg's and an overdrive gearbox should give you about 165mph at 7,000 rpm. Perhaps some upgraded brakes are in order. And a parachute...
21 Nov 2015, 9:56pm
brakes next ..towed.hope you well have to get to see you soon ..engine come in along fine ..
22 Nov 2015, 8:19am
Are you around this afternoon Phil? Will give you a call. :)
22 Nov 2015, 3:45pm
great to see you towed your car still looking fad see soon thanks for pop in round..

Great to see you this afternoon Phil. Nice to blow the cobwebs out of my Spyder too, bit chilly round the old face but the crash helmet and visor helps.

Is this the sort of tail pipe you're after?

Plenty of other styles on the web - http://www.jbugs.com/category/empi-vw-stingers-baffles.html - shouldn't be too hard to find a uk supplier or import from the states.

Now get that hi-po motor up and running for that Christmas morning blast. :)
