Ahh yes Menzels, didn't think of them. Cheers.

Some more goodies arrived in the post today https://www.vdubber.com/images/originalphotos/1/668/2d07f48b6d98be3783830375.jpg https://www.vdubber.com/images/originalphotos/1/668/fe373f78ddb84996c22d77ef.jpg Also got an update on the current progress on the heads. The second plug location has been add...

No not mine, built by a guy called Johannes Persson, he's a wiz at building small capacity VW engines that make big power. 10,000 rpm from a pushrod engine - pretty sure some voodoo was involved in that build. Here's some more vid of it pulling 10,000 rpm. Unfortunately they blow a breather hose off...

After last weekends progress and also receiving my 74mm DPR crank in the post this week I was amped to get back out into the man cave and spend a little more spanner time on the oval. The DPR crank is an awesome bit of work. It's a stock 36hp crank that is welded and offset ground to give the extra ...

Had a bit of a change in direction on the power plant. Rather than base the build on a 'modern' 50 horse 1600cc VW engine I've decided to base the build around the original 36hp 1100cc engine but bored and stroked to 1600 (might as well make this build REALLY challenging :D ). So for the past month ...

What sizes?

(lid / suit / boots / gloves / hans / etc)

Meh, image has been cropped - here's a link to the original dyno results - https://www.vdubber.com/photos/photo?al ... otoid=3409

So had a look around and dug out the results of the initial dyno runs that I did. It's actually very interesting Here's my baseline readings - the bone stock normally aspirated engine... https://www.vdubber.com/images/originalphotos/groupphotos/14/1109/6c517d936bfd865294709b8a.jpg It shows peak powe...

Got one step closer today, managed to pick up a nice set of extractors. https://vdubber.com/images/originalphotos/1/668/0e69d017aff51c716d182a87.jpg Once I could get my plasma back up and running I will cut out some flanges and make myself a megaphone. Any ideas on size / angle of taper / etc? Never...

Thanks :D I've limited overall advance to 24 degrees by bending in the stops in the mech advance dizzy. I did play with a dual vac can for a while on the stock SVDA dizzy to try and get vac advance when not on boost and cancel out the advance when it came on boost but had a bit of trouble getting it...

Been out of the loop for a while. Various commitments have kept land speed racing off of the agenda for a while but a change of circumstances and a little inspiration has led me back again. But first a bit of an update on the supercharger build from a few posts back... After going through a few prot...

Selling my Mk 2 Jaguar project. http://imgc.classistatic.com/cps/blnc/130429/533r1/7786can_20.jpeg Has a very sweet 2.4 engine, manual gearbox and is very solid with some minor rust in rear of front wings and bottom corner of door skins. All brightwork is in very good condition. Wood needs refinishi...

Unfortunately got to sell my enclosed trailer. Will fit average family saloon car. Bit tatty round the edges needs a little work to make 100% but has current SA rego. Use as-is or fix it up to add some value. Fitted with electric winch and wind down corner legs allowing it to be used to store car in...

Agreed. The bonnet needs to become a wall ornament. Offerings to the god of speed etc..

Good to see the growler is still intact.

Nice photos. BTW.
