Pimp my ride is on right now and they're 'cutomizing' a '58 bus.

Hello, Im looking for contact info for the guy who ran "RPMs" shop in Pottstown, PA. His name was Joe. It was a VW/ POrsche shop. He has closed up the shop and i am trying to contact. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Other than it has a built in gearbox and won't connect up to the VW transaxle without major surgery, sure why not? I think a 2.2L 16 valve Subaru engine would be a far more practical way to go to make a Bug insanely fast. Tony "Tweak" > wrote in...

It looks like Travis had a little too much to drink and is a little unsteady. Haven't we all been there before..... You just move you mouse left to right (no clicking) to keep him walking in a straight line. The object of the game is to keep him walking, without falling over, by using your mouse...

Just coming from a scrapyard, needed some vw parts. Between the usual crap on the yard is a little ford van, looks a bit like a vw kombi but the front says ford thames. Chassis looks very decent, paint good, all parts there and fully original, and the price is a bargain. Papers and all are...

Anybody here speak German? I am trying to translate PIGLET into German. Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA Shawn in NY

ARGH!! WHY?!?!?! The horrible bad luck with cars just won't leave me the F alone?!?!?!?!?!!! I gave it a little bit too much gas (Ok, a lot) and the ******* lumped, lurched, and blew to bits.

i have a 1968 vw1600tl and i think is good to install a gauge to know the temperature. I think i can install an oil temperature sender ¿where can i attach the sender? do you have a diagram for easy installation? what's the "normal" temperature? Regards from spain

I am sure this has been discussed at nausea in the past, but being a new member to the joy of VW ownership club (or is that joy of repair club?), I am not aware of these discussions. My question is simple. I have 1600cc engine and it has not oil filter. It has a screen filter at the bottom of...

Question: Would it be worth it to have all T4 mains put in on a 84mm x 94mm bore new type 1 mag case? I've read that 86mm & above it would help or be needed. This is just going to be used as a hot rodding street dune buggy. Thanks guys.

It has come to that time for me to replace rear wheel bearing and such while I'm at it, in which I need to bring up this question of "what" to look for: I have a 72 SB convertible. If you look at the rear wheels instead of being nice and vertically straight or slightly inwards... mine are leaning...

I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out a problem. I have a 73 Thing with a 1600cc dual port that is newly rebuilt. The problem is the smell of raw fuel when the car is running. I've recently replaced the fuel tank, all fuel lines, fuel filter and fuel pump. There don't seem to be any...

About a year ago I posted about my first real breakdown with my bus on August 12,2003 in Winnie Texas. Here's a little update on that slapped-together engine. I just finished Lap One Of America on October 28,2004 with my new business, Itinerant Air-Cooled Consulting ( I drive across America showing...

I have moved the 65 kombi to the shop today so its up for sale. Its in fair to good condition, it has normal rusted rockers and floor areas but would be a verygood canidate for restorationall the pop-out windows are in good working condition I don't think this has been in any accidents and except...

I never thought it would happen to me (famous last words). I've always been careful about checking hose clamps and fuel lines to make sure that everything was secure. But I guess you can't check everything. Yesterday, the inlet nozzle to the carbeurator broke and started spewing gas inside the...

Hey Veedub fans: I'm looking for a front disc brake kit for a '74 SB. At the same time I would like to lower the front end. What's the best way to accomplish this task? Thanks in advance.

Well, not quite. http://www.virtualbartender.beer.com/beer_usa.htm

Did VW ever make self adjusting rear breaks for a type 1 ? Thanks Mark

Hey guys. I know this is a long shot. A woman who drove up to Oswego, NY in her '65 Ghia from the NYC area (350 miles?) called me a short while ago. She needs a knowledgeable ACVW mechanic to take a look at the engine before she attempts the drive back to the NYC area. She says there's something...
