My pulley for the trigger wheel is stock t1 size. It doesn't clear the dry sump. Well, it didn't. My friend Craig did his thing on his lathe and bingo! Full size pulley with degree marks fits! https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/2291966.jpg https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/2291968.jpg htt...

Betterer...
Dizzy plug, dry sump and trigger sensor mount installed.



Slug, jugs and deck tomorrow.

My standard rod bearings weren't. Grrr, they were 20 under. Well, the engine assembly is on hold until the new bearings arrive, but my dry sump pump arrived yesterday afternoon. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/2287886.jpg I did manage to mount the crank trigger yesterday on the right case ha...

I hve started unpacking the electromotive efi system to sort where to place it and the sensors. It is a crank trigger set up that can handle batch or sequential fire with up to 3 bar pressure from a turbo.

Last night, the case savers, mil spec headstuds, pistons, barrels, heads, exhaust and manifolds were all installed. I like where it is. Now to tear it all back down and clean evreything aga...

1st test fit.

If it ever stops raining/snowing, I will get back on it.

Hmmmm...

More shenanigans for the roof might be happening

Equals: lift off hard top!

Now what?

1st stupid move complete...

Dropped off the red notch heads today to get them flycut from 60cc to 42cc. Shooting for 9.9:1 compression.

Spring break is next week. I hope to get some needed repairs and changes made to the red notch.

Purdy!

I hope to fire the pink car off again Saturday before the rain comes...

Had to get a couple tires mounted today so I can pull the slicks on the pink notch for spring. 215/65r15s

If I wasn't in so much awe, I would be jealous! Great build!

Windscreen in tomorrow!

Progress?

Got my lexan windshield for the race notch. Will install next week.

Started all my measurements for cutting the roof off the parts cab

Nice!

Not t3, but this showed up as well... former record holder sand drag car. It won't get mentioned here again.
