I've actually heard this question a couple of times... no he is not.
My dad did race dirt oval track in the eighties and nineties, but not rallying.

Hey there...how is the project coming on??? Have any picture of the type of pipe work you intend to use???
Would love to know what a turbo setup would be like on a stock standard type 1 motor..

I'll probably start woring on her by next week again. Got my sleeves back today, so now I can finish off the engine

Ok I finally got some pics again.
The beetle's back end with new firewall installed.
From inside the car
My digital dash installed
The boost boxes bolted on the throttle bodies. These still need a lot of work. Intake pipe size 63mm
My modified crank pulley, now with a 60-2 wheel mounted on it for the wasted spark setup.
New 94mm pistons and sleeves... decked to 1.3mm to give me 8:1 compression ratio
Here's some pics of the superlight flywheel I intend using again
My old MSD distributor... I doubt if this one will be used again

Ivan at Volkspares got it made up for me and fitted it to the crank pulley. Now I can go completely distributor less.

Distributor less... Coil per cylinder, no more distributor. Like the new gen cars.

On the STF, I saw a guy mount a Ford EDIS trigger wheel similar to yours behind a type 4 fan...
Would like to try that when I do my conversion...
