Guest shai_hulud Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 What year is that Beetle, a '67? My best friend had a '66. A bunch of my friends have had VWs over the years. I know a little bit about them. Drunkpunch is telling the truth. You can tell when a VW engine is tuned right by the way it sounds...when it's dialed in, it has this weird ring to it. If it's off, it sounds choppy and shitty. I've noticed that certain Ducatis have that same sound to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrUnKpUnCh Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 you serious? HELL YEAH, WITH A PIECE OF PVE PIPE. FROM MY EAR TO THE VALVES. THE VW ENGINE IS A SIMPLE ONE, I CAN TELL IF A VALVE IS LOOSE AND/OR SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG, BY THE REVERB OFF A WALL OR ANYTHING NEXT TO THE CAR.

DrUnKpUnCh Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 SHAI, IT IS A 66 TYPE 1. THE "ONE YEAR ONLY CAR", FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE SPECIFIC AND/OR INTRODUCED THAT YEAR ONLY. SORRY HAYA, BUT WHEN I PUT MY HAMD DOWN BY THE EXHAUST TIPS, I DO IT TO FEEL THE PRESSURE, SMELL THE EXHAUST (/NOHUFFER); AND SEE IT THE TIMING IS ON POINT.

Guest shai_hulud Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Wasn't that the year before they made the switch from 6 to 12 volt? It looks nice. Is it all stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 yeh taht seems legit i was thinking it would be something to do with engine tuning as those dudes practically live racing and probably know their shit inside out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrUnKpUnCh Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Wasn't that the year before they made the switch from 6 to 12 volt? It looks nice. Is it all stock? YES IT WAS. THANKS, ITS ALL STOCK, EXCEPT FOR THE 1600cc ENGINE. I POSTED MORE PICS IN THE "LET ME SEE YOUR CAR" THREAD. (I THINK THATS NAME OF IT.)

Guest shai_hulud Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 YES IT WAS. THANKS, ITS ALL STOCK, EXCEPT FOR THE 1600cc ENGINE. I POSTED MORE PICS IN THE "LET ME SEE YOUR CAR" THREAD. (I THINK THATS NAME OF IT.) I thought so. I wasn't sure because of the tail lights. My friend wanted to put a new stereo in her '66 back in the day, and me and several of my friends had to explain why that wasn't as easy as she hoped it would be. Another friend of ours hooked her up on all the voltage conversion work, but did a lousy job putting in the actual stereo. Her '66 had a stock 1200 with 65,000 original miles on it. One of my friends had a '57 with a 1776....one of the Porsche 914 joints. I think it would do 50 MPH in first gear, and he claimed it topped out around 130. He never put wheelie bars on it, so I don't think he ever tried to go THAT fast...if he did, he had one hell of a death wish. I'm not a car guy, but I like VWs. Especially that '57. I wonder if he still has it sitting in a garage somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Chaos Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 maybe fucking with the choke after letting it warm up. idk maybe something with the gas lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrUnKpUnCh Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I LIKE THE 6 VOLT, MORE CLASSIC. A STEREO IS PRETTY EASY TO PUT IN. I ALWAYS REPLACE THE GLOVE BOX WITH A RADIO GLOVE BOX, WHERE YOU CAN PUT A STEREO IN THE GLOVE BOX AND STILL HAVE SPACE FOR THE GLOVES. IF THAT 57' IS SITTIN AROUND, AND THEY DONT WANT IT; LET A V-DUB HEAD KNOW??????!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111!!!!!!!-LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KM4RT Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 ive seen many MotoGp dudes croutch down beside their bikes like this what are they doing? k thnx bai [truth] when rossi does that he is going through the track in his mind. if you've watched it when he's crouching he leans left/right as he practices going around the track in his mind. most of these guys pretty much memorize the track and all the turns before riding, and this is just a mental warm up of sorts [/truth] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
