1303 rally car

went to see a good mate yesterday and found this in his workshop.
beleaved to be a genuine works car and being rebuilt to do the british historic rally championship.
Engine is a 1600 t1 with a works style dry sump set up, a cam but he wouldn't tell me which one, reworked heads with 40x32 valves, positive deck hieght pistons and topped of by a ubber rare set of 46 ida's. should make around 125 bhp@6000rpm
shell has been restored and built up to orignal spec in the fia homolagation papers so has a 914 gearbox with close ratios and a lsd. the shocks are bilstien.
some pic's below of the car and engine.

porsche austria had the dry sump pump from 72 onwards i think, only way to make a engine live in motorsport.
cant wait to see it used in action.

Here is a site that has a decent amount of information on what went into building the rally cars.
http://www.rallybugs.com/

And the FIA homologation papers...

Hi

There is video on Youtube featuring the Salzburg Rallye Beetles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac96n...eature=related

If you can put up with corny music about 1/2 way through there is some in car footage that has great sound.

I had set of 46 IDAs on my old WBX bug, they were beautiful carbs.

Steve

Love this thread, and these cars...

Can't wait to see more of this restoration!

Also worth checking out is Mark Huebbe's modern-day tribute to the Salzberg car's. Mark's car is a '70 standard, modified to be legal for Group 2/F in Rally America class. http://www.321govideo.com/rallybug/

There is also a dry sumped 1302S (ex rally car as well I believe) that competes in the Beetle Challenge. It lives in Lincolnshire

VW winner in EM-rally !!!

The 1302 S beetles were in EM-historic rally Lahti ( Finland). Juhani Laaksonen showed the European guys, how the IDA:s sing...
He won the class and finished as 6th of total 85 started!!! He was also at total 4th place before last stage, but loose some time and dropped onto 6th. On a one specialstage he started 1minute after Porsche 911 and passed it before the finish-line. He catched the 911 and then tried to pass, but there came so much stones from 911 wheels that he broke both frontlams etc, but he had "Finnish SISU" so he pushed hard and just passed it and left the poor 911 behind...

The other 1302 S, the ex WRC-driver Marcus Grönholms fathers (Ulf Grönholm) old beetle was driven by Juha Liukkonen. Juha has long experience on internaional historic-circuitraces with Ford Falcon etc cars. He drove summerrally for the first time ever and got better all the time. Same stages, where Juhani took 3-5th places, Juha got round 14th comparing total 85cars. On the last stage Juha drove out of the road, but luckily got back and continued with strongly moved steeringparts + moved compensator + broken intakemanifold. And managed to drive 165 km after specialstage to Finnishline also.

So both 1302 S beetles finished the race and Juhani were asked to specialchecking after the race, but there was nothing against the rules so he got his award as classes 1st and total 6th!!!

Only cars, which could beat Juhanis VW-times were Lancia with compressor 340hp (ex markku Alen) driven now by Norwegian, Opel Ascona 400 240hp, Porsche 911 270hp, To#¤ta Corolla GT twincam 220hp.


This shows again how good and reliable and competetive aircooled VW:s are. There were many 911, Ford etc which had technical problems. The distances between the specialstages were long, friday and saturdays first driving were 160km only to catch the first specialstage with racecars. Weather was good, shiny and +26-28C all the time!

Sure there is picts and video somewhere in the internet from LAHTI EM-historicrally 2011 of Juhanis orange 1302 and Juhas Green 1302.

Congratulations Juhani and Juha!!!
