[creationblue]

Glad you finally came out the closet

I did nothing of the sort :lol: wishful thinking?

You wish! :lol:

The 'vair is 110bhp in this form but it's the 160ft/lb or torque at low revs that makes it a suitable doner for very little outlay, if you can find one.

Thanks pretty good. I think the Porsche engine I have only has 175ft/lb and 203bhp!

Cool
There is always something going on with this bus, love it!

 

[Haveacamper]

you should know Jon, these buses are never finished!

Most people just change the wheels or add a bit of bling though

Wow - looking good - nice engine!!

Like the exhaust too

You wouldn`t even know it was in there apart from that smooth flat 6 tone :mrgreen:

well done was wondering when you were going to let the cat out of the bag on this.
nice looking exhaust system,
never put mine on rolling road so dont know what it will do but as for ease of use its brilliant,
loads of low down grunt and power if you need it (but most of the time i just potter around)
havnt even changed the points on mine yet from when it was parked up in 94ish lol,
not touched the tappets since putting engine back in 3 years ago,
and i just think they sound cool,
also pleanty of heat to origional bus system with a bit of manufacturing if you need it,
will have to try to get them together to compair notes.

enjoy it (and be prepaired to talk to loads more people when at shows lol)

if you dont mind me asking how much did the exhaust system set you back as probably need to replace mine sometime in the future (and yours looks a great set up) and dont know if having the silencer tips on mine might restrict flow as your outlets look a lot larger

Its a 40mm system and set me back £500, quite a chunk of the cost of the engine actually, well pleased tho

Nice work Justin, did wonder what new toys you would come up with for this season.

Been putting miles on the bus and so far no hickups 8)
I do get a slight misfire on a right corner under load where the float level in one I the carbs must be set to low, but I won't worry about that as I'm working on some weber manifolds for the future.

Wet weekend in Leominster, great site with fantastic views over the Herefordshire countryside. Lots of cider consumed 8)







Two VWs, and not a aircooled flat 4 between us :lol:
