I'm in! :D
|
Me too!
Anybody else from the GTA going? Pete |
looks like i may be there with the new 2316. its hard to tell right now. even if the new plant is not ready i may still come and watch.
|
The progress of my Type 4 will hinge on heads and exhaust.

So is it a 2316-200? c'mon, spill the beans.:lmao: |
I hope to get there. It would be great to have a strong Type IV showing in 2008, mine was the only one to dyno last year, I think....
|
Nigel, what power did you put down?
If there is a strong T4 showing, I MAY convert. :eek: |

Pete,
If I remember correctly it did 128HP at the wheels. It is the same car and engine that I drove to Savannah from Atlanta and back (250 miles each way) without missing a beat in 90+ degree heat. This is with a 2270 built in 2002 with 8.5:1 CR. Laz brings up a good point - it is very driveable - it can do 30 in 4th and then keeps pulling until you let off. |
Sooo.... whose T4 can i take around the block? :D
|
Pete, no I still have the 2275 and it is for sale. I'm sure we can get you a ride in a T-4 powered vehicle.
We just got back from a brutal road trip to Baton Rouge delivering a Bus, Herbie Jr. go kart and fit a Tilton # pedal set w/3 master cylinders in Herbie X. Dave (Herbie X's owner) said he will try to clear a spot in his calender to drive up for Dyno Day. |

Accomodations? I saw where a bunch said they were staying in Perry? Looks quite a ways from the dyno event, definately going in the wrong direction for anybody coming in from the north. Why not stay in Peachtree City?
|
Days Inn or Best Western in Peachtree City were the ones for Dyno Day last year. I don't have phone info for them but I'm sure they have info online.
|
I don't have anything to bring to the dyno but I am trying to make plans for being there on Saturday. Sounds like it will be a lot of fun, even just for a spectator.
Jeff- |
Let me know and I will get your 6 rib over to the event for you.
|
Thanks Dave! Was waiting to be sure I can get off for the event. Definately planned to settle up while I'm there. Sending you a PM.
Jeff- |
I've stayed in Peachtree City for the Dyno day, and in Perry for raceday. Will do it again like this. The Dyno was right around the corner from the Hotel. Peachtree City to Perry is quite the drive to do in the morning of the dyno.
Need to do some basic maintenance on the car and i'll be ready for the drive. Will there be another VW show at the dragstrip? I'll shine up the TDI and enter it in the watercooler class. :lmao: Long distance award? This was my drive last year: :D http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/...e.jpg~original Might go through Detroit this year. Pete |
Yes there aill be a car show at Silver Dollar.
|
I hear Detroit is nice this time of year......

Kathy,
No aircooler's coming from north of the border this year. Looks like i'll be driving down solo. Can i enter my Golf in the waterpumper show Sunday? Dave, please clean/degrease that motor. ;) Dammit........ still have to book the hotels. :eek: See ya'll next weekend, :D Peter |
Will see you there (with no aircooled also :( ) It's still a great time!
|
I always keep the engine clean. It looked great when I pulled it out.:D

Surgery recovery is taking longer than I expected, but I'm hoping to still tackle my electrical woes by next weekend and have the bug at Dyno Day.
The GT show is end of March. I'd love to see some regional GLs there. Details here: http://www.gatechautoshow.com/ |
Fellow GL'rs, come by and say Hi! :D
I'll be driving this: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/...0.jpg~original Pete |
See you this weekend Pete...
|
It was great to see Panel, Nigel, Wrench (and family), Jake/Beth and PeteVW. Beth's car is looking great and put down some big numbers. Nigel took to the track and I missed it. Pete, I hope the trip home was smooth and the engine serves you well. I hope the 6 rib works well for Panel too.
|
Thanks Dave! Good to see you and Wrench also. The biggest thing the 6 rib and the dyno day will do is getting me motivated to get something aircooled up and going again.
I think my buddy Randy that was with me (ex Cali resident, jst moved back to GA) was most impressed by Beth's car. He loved the look of the whole car and the nasty way the engine sounded. He's so jaded by the sand scene and hanging out with the Lauffers, it takes 500-600hp just to get his attention most times. Jeff- |
It was one great weekend!
Seeing Nigel givin' it hell on the strip was awesome! He was absolutely shaking in his boots after that first run :nervous: And spankin' some smack-talkin' California ass on the dyno Saturday was pretty sweet too! I think somebody is having to eat a lot of crow after all the smack talk that went on over at the BKC forum the past few weeks. Thanks to No H20 and Wrench-n-Ride for all the help getting my car ready for the event. It certainly would NOT have happened without all their help. :cheers: |
I would really like a pic of the finished GL cabrio!
3 posts and no hp numbers of Beth's car?? So, what did it make and at what rpm? |
I can't remember what RPM it pulled but I think it made 197 HP and 202 lbft of torque at the wheels.

Yellow73 (Nigel) put down 127 hp and 142 ft/lbs torque with his 2270 :)
|
It was a great weekend.. Spanking Chico's Type 1 ass was so damn worth all the work that we all had to put into the car to make it happen!
Beth's engine turned out better than I had hoped and I still don't know how I got the throttle response so damn intense.. It must be the .024 deck height coupled to the 10.5:1 and 89 octane along with the small cam and twin plug heads :-) wait till next year... Plans were made today for what we'll be debuting and what it'll be equipped with :-) |
