What parts do u have for my Manx?
-
What do you need I have some motor parts trans axles torsion bars carbs beams tri mill
-
I have a stock beam, built swing axel, and a turbo 1915 right now. Guess I need seats, steering, clutch and flywheel, would like to swap swing for IRS.
But I have 3 VW cars so I am always interested in spare parts!!
-
Do you have the hardware for top?
-
no hardware. just the top. would be willing to trade for some needed VW parts.
-
I have a pair of custom 3 by 3 trailing arms for IRS and new hubs. I can get pics for you in a few
-
Ok now we are talking I have 26 vws and another 100 more in Reno NV. The 100 in Reno are baja bugs got a good deal for a acre of them. The ones in vegas are notch backs,fast backs,carmengias, bugs, and squarebacks who needs some parts.
-
holy crap. You have that many VWs? i need a good used 091 trans
i would be willing to deal for a useable set of 3x3s

You win

i could also use a more capable front beam assembly. I have a stock one on the manx right now. My desert VW very close to a class 9 car is pretty much done. Full built race trans from transaxle engineering, hand build aluminum body, and a 2332 vw power plant. thing is pretty bad ass.
as for the manx. right now i have a pan with stock front beam and a swing axle rear. i have a rebuilt swing trans with close ratio gears and a turbo 1915 power plant. Would like to convert the rear to 3x3 irs and at least larger towers on the front beam. I also need the 3 inch body lift and either buy or build a cage. then the normal nickle and dime stuff. Breaks, lines, wiring, steering. blah blah blah....
and my third vw is a Laser 917 (Porsche 917 replica) i have not been in the motor yet but i am guessing its a bigger motor. came with dual carbs and other goodies. and you usualy dont put those on a 1600. this car needs soem body work, paint, and interior.
so i guess i am 1/3 finished with my VW car collection. LOL
-
i have a friend here that is always searching for old VWs. i will ask him if he is looking for a car right now. and you can see if you have it.
-
Let me see what I can do for u are u in a rush. I only go to Reno twice a year before summer and after summer the rest of the summer I'm at the lake or river give me a call if u want 702 445-1352 chad.
-
Don't need them. I went to a different style on my rail. Let me know if your interested. Sorry don't have 100 VW's laying around
-
Chad you do win with that one :-(
-
ya i could use those
-
PM sent
-
chad i could use an IRS rear clip. trans and all. if you could spare one of those that would be great. No i am in no hurry. this manx has been unfinished for years. But i am starting to get back to it. now that my boat lives at my river place i have room in my shop to do some work.
-
I will look around this weekend and let u know Monday.
-
the car is set up with a swing right now. I have a fresh rebuilt swing trans in it. but since i will be putting the turbo motor in this car i think i could use the added suspension travel that comes with irs and 3x3 trailing arms.
-
Need to know everything u need I think I got one in storage.
-
My arms will work for the set up I think you want
-
ive never done this conversion. but i would guess i need everything from hub to hub including trans, axels, all that jazz. basicly if you had a car that has IRS and is otherwise useless just cut the back clip of the car off in front of the torsion tube. I will take the whole thing. and replace and rebuild from there.
-
ya your arms are exactly what i am looking for. :thumbup:
-
Ok now I see what u want I will see if the 69 bug I have will work for u. I will take some pictures this weekend and send them to u Monday.

I can't wait I built my boat all summer and hate to say but ready for sand season now. I'm ready to pull the car out the trailer and start cleaning her up a little :-) its cool to see others into VW's. alot of people just don't understand what you can do to a air cooked VW and make good power.
-
The blue car is my brothers Xthespot we just finish building last season. The red one is mine and pictures show just upgrading to the bigger coil overs. Now sand season should be good this year
-
its not even about the power. they are just more fun to drive. My car is basicly a two seat class nine car with wide openings to get in and out easier and a Big motor. 10 inch towers and a swing rear. Funnest car to drive hands down. Last year i broke the ring and pinion and Grandpa let me use his twin turbo LS2 sand cars unlimited 800hp beast. In all honesty i have way more fun in my car than i do that thing. Its cool to grab gears and pull wheelies but you almost have to lay your life on the line to have any fun in it. It handles everything up to about 100mph. and i dont want to make a mistake at that speed with friends in the car. In my VW i drive it like im runnign the baja 1000 and having a blast!! jumps the little jumps dosent just roll over everything like it is not there.
anyway i am trying to finish the max in time for thanksgiving. well not FINISH but get it usable. It takes a good three seasons to dial a newley built car in. so i would like to have it up and running even with the swing rear by the start of this season so i can start identifying the things that need to be changed or upgraded.
-
I agree we are all still in some what old school style and who in there great mind would spin 80 plus grand on a sand rail. I have to say like you say our cars are just as fun if not funner. And I can work on my own car not take it to a shop lol
-
wow those are some nice pieces!!!

That thing is I love the look of a class 9. Pretty cool nice ride
-
i just swapped back from dual carbs to a single carb. it runs much better and is more responsive. Since i only got 8 inches of travel i really didnt need the added power up top with the dual carbs. it already goes way faster than the suspension can handle. and i just had the trans rebuilt by transaxle engineering to the tune of 3200$. OUCH but it is chrome molley everything and should handle more than twice the power i am putting to it. I would guess my motor is probaly 160hp with the single carb. it scoots pretty damn well. Especialy in the high desert where i use it most. Of course in glamis you can never have enough HP.
anyway we should try to do a SOCALJETBOATS meet and greet in the dunes this year. We will be there for most of the big holidays this winter.

You don't need a hole rear torsion housing for about 30 bucks you can buy the rear arm pivot bushing brackets and weld them in if your going to do coil overs then you will need the spring plate for a Heim joint if not you will want to run a long bar and good shocks if your going to run a 091 then you have to Change the trans mounts or by the adapter and your going to need axles and cvs for those 3by3 arms it's a lot Easier to use the housing you have than to cut it out and hope you get one that's not bent and weld it in square that's just my two cents

This is the set up I went with when I built my car above.

Here's my 71 you guys have some nice buggies

ya this is exactly what I had planned for the manx. so what IRS trans should I get to do the swap in the manx. I know I need axels cvs and some other hardware. just don't know much of the difference between 091s, 3 rib, 6 rib or whatever. I have only had swing cars.
-
My brother had a 65 that he sold to a guy in AZ. Did alot of work to it and ready for paint. We found it 2 year later and guy tried to say he would sale it back to my brother. Motor was blown up and car was cut up. What a drag. Guy just really dident know what he had. I have to say that was one car I wish my brother kept. Trying to gets find pics before and after. You guys would not be leave what this guy did to it. Sad sad deal but that's how it goes at times
-
I really don't know what pictures to post. My 69 vert is my sons and its in pieces. My car is a 53 from Germany but it not time to post yet my other is a 64 bug ill try to post but my phone has bin jacked up hasn't let me post in a while. I build low rider vws my 53 is a box of smokes from the ground with a 2180 with a single demon carb running on 110 octane so give me a bit to fire up the old computer and will see what happens. My sons car I have a 1941 sitting in the garage getting dust on it so their u go. Maybe my wife will let me build a rail but she thinks I have to many hobbies already not including the float, jet skies. May be we should have a socal bug show and shine.

In my opinion I would go with the 002 bus trans. It's probably the cheapest for how strong it is. 091 will set you back a couple grand at least to fix it if you ever had too. You can get the 002 bus trans done for around $1,000-1,200.
-
6 rib trans is the most common

Here's another rail in the bunch

My sand car.

who knew all these big block guys also have a thing for air cooled 4 bangers.
We should all get together in glamis or out by myhouse for a weekend. Have you guys ever been to jawbone. its fun in a buggy for sure. plus there is 100 miles of BLM land surrounding my house so we can pretty much go where we want. Plus i can probably throw together ten more buggies to roll with us at any given time. and maybe a trophy truck or two. with film crew. lol.. we do off road right out here.
anyway keep the pics and advice coming. Maybe we should start a VW thread or have brad make us our own section
-
We have been to Jawbone Canyon. Pretty cool. Our favorite place for duneing is Dumont. We hope to go soon after boat season.
-
Just finished putting my 2276 dual sport back together. Can't wait till it cools off enough to get a full day of running.
-
Nice Baja!

I'm in this club to http://www.socalbajas.com (http://www.socalbajas.com)

It's put on by Carcraft in riverside. It's usually always the second weekend of October. So Carcraft goes to Glamis off Geico road and everybody is invited and they help you on your sand rails with tuning them. They take everybody out and we caravan the dunes and just have fun. You get to show off your stuff.
-
Can anyone go to this? And will they look at all cars or just car craft cars
-
Yeah if you are with someone like us you are part of it. It's cool just checking out other rides and when you need help everyone comes together and helps. It's a good time to start the season.
-
my car is pretty dialed in. but i would not mind seeing what some pros thought and if they saw any areas that i can improve my set up.
-
I'm in the same boat as you Aquaholic. I'd love to have some pros give me some advice and suggestions.
