Hello, not only 25, 36, and 40hp ........ but anyway check our website
http://www.kaeferfriseure.de
It´s about German; Switzerland ;Belgium ..... aircooled car tuning such as Okrasa; Riechert ; TDE ; Blank and many more.
Although it´s in German only but it´s worth browsing through it because of many informations and cool pics...
Enjoy!

| Vielen Dank! My dad used to get "Gute Fahrt" at work throughout the 70's, and they would sometimes show a tuning kit from a popular German supplier. We would always be amused back then at how "careful" the cars were set up with these kits, since you had to go to the TUeV every 2 years which was so rigorous. Here in the USA you could bolt some 48IDAs onto your 2180cc engine and not worry about the drum brakes, etc. since most US states had very liberal (if any) vehicle safety inspections. |

Thats TÜV stuff is no fun to deal with believe me!
I wanted to fit twin 28pcis and the first TÜV guy just told me "No way". Tosser.
Its not too horrible if you go to the right place, but its still pretty limiting.
Got my carbs fitted in the end. |

 You have to wonder where they find some of these TüV guys. Sleeping under bridges I think. |
