The 3M-90 carpet spray adhesive is like $20 in my local auto supply place for the big can. Works good, but Eastwood sounds like the better deal for sure.

Thanks, I’ll check with the local auto supply store to see what’s available, online probably will be half price the way things are down here. That’ll be one project down, who knows how many more to come.

If I were buying a prebuilt or crate, Ild go with Autocraft, Mike and Barry are great guys and have been working VWs for a lifetime. Seconf choice Air cooled Technology Jake is a great source and is a hands on person. Both have custom plans and offer build kits that you can build or add on as you go. This isn’t JC whitney or Mid American. You pay…[Read more]

After a coffee or two and general discussion I used fast Tack

I used 3M “Fast Tack”. (following Classic Roadsters Ltd.’s recommendation) http://www.3m.com/product/information/Fast-Tack-Trim-Adhesiv e.htmlLots of on-line resources if you cannot find it locally

We’ve been reinventing a procedure for adjusting valves when there is an excellent discussion in the “Tech Articles for VW’s” section of this forum. It was written by Sean Bartnik on Sept 24, 1997.  
Did you know that there is a dot on the edge of the fan pulley indication TDC?
I don’t usually read the directions first either.
 

 
I used a 3M version of this product to bond a liner to a fiberglass hood. It’s been hanging over a smallblock V8 for 15 years with no separation. You can find it on the shelf at your local parts store. Or, you can start an account at Eastwood.

I agree with Paul. The Samba and the Speedster site are full of angry sob stories from folks unhappy with their mail-order mills. There are some companies with good reputations, but they’re not the cheapest builders.

Where are the pictures?

This is West Coast Core’s web sitehttp://www.westcoastcore.com/servlet/StoreFrontAnyone ever hear of these guys?Their engine prices, for the most part, sound TOO cheap. You know what they say, if it sounds too good to be true….

 
If it were my windshield I’d install the cowl wipers and claim that they came from a 55 TF.

 
Pink?
One of their engine color options is Pink.
If it brings more women into the sport I’m all for it. 
 

Found this on Ebay.  Wish I had the cash on hand.  Could be a sweet ride.

Have a long sleeve and short sleeve from her the ad is a perfect match to my car.  Nice work, fair price and fast shipper.

She will offer group discounts, too, and I have asked her for the minimums she would need, but so far, I haven’t heard back from her.  Her normal prices are not too back, and the design is embroidered, not screen printed, a positive for me.  I have shirts with my Honda S2000 and the MG TD in my color.  I can state that the shirts and stitching qu…[Read more]

Yes.
Long sleeve and short sleeve shirts, lots of different colors and fabrics, polo shirts, bags, jackets, blankets…their product list goes on….
Everything is on their web site.

Without going to aftermarket heads, you will not notice HUGE jump in power by just adding displacement and more fuel.
Bigger cc’s require more flow to make power…just adding more fuel to a restricted flow won’t get it done. Nor will adding a hot cam to OEM spec heads.
Dual Kadrons (Solex) or Dual 35 PDSIT’s (Solex) on a stock motor will wake it…[Read more]

If you are running dual Solex’s (35 PDSIT’s or Kadron’s) you want no more than 1.5-2.0 psi fuel pressure MAX.
More fuel pressure will just flood the car by blowing the inlet needle seats, overflowing the bowl and come out the vent tubes into the carb verturis.
Dellorto and Weber IDF’s like 3.5 psi max.
009’s are mechanical advance…not vacuum.…[Read more]

Does she offer it with short sleeve shirts? Way to hot here in GA for long sleeves.
