The holidays put the project on hold for a little while but this weekend we did a few thing that will make the project pick up speed again. I changed the carbs to 48s from the Kadrons I had, we bolted down the body and a few other things. The guys came together and helped me get the body on and off , it was a good day.........even though it rain for 3 hours lol
Two future projects, keep and eye out for the 63 and 65!!
The side winder with the 1" tranny raise is right up against the apron, so I put some layers of heat shield.
Mehn I love those 48s, made an order from Jaycee and they look way different!!

Cool. The IDA's look great on there, did you have to jet them way down to get them to work on a mild engine? |

Working on that now. I changes the jets way down yea, changing emulations tubes and air correction jets as well. I sounds like the carbs are loading up when i try to take off. Once it gets into 2 and 3rd it works fine but firstt to second i think its dumping too much gas into the carbs. I'm new to this VW thing so I'm learning as i go along.

Did you have the 3rd progression hole drilled? IDA's are great for running flat out, not much for cruising without work  |

Actually I used th Empi 48's so they come with the hole drilled already, and they are switched around so it is easier to tune. I changed that stuff Sunday and the car is working wayyyy better. I went from .70 idles to .55 also went from 190 to 200 air correction jets. Aslo went from F7-F11 emulsion tubes. Still a little more dialing in but I think I'm almost there.
