After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

      When is this car going to be driving?
      It wont be driving for some time yet.
      Probably 3 months.

      So most likely mine has 8.2 : 1 compression.

            Why would you run standard (third world commodore standard) petrol?

            Yup it costs a couple of cents more per litre, but the car goes faster, travells further and you dont crack manifolds etc.l

              Actually you raise a good point, I will have to do a test to see how L/100 km
              goes comparing optimum and Standard 91......
              and then comparing the " aweful " E10 .... 10% ethanol .

                The " cracking manifolds " issue , I guess thats exhaust manifold.
                Is that due to running too hot?

                  Singh Grooves. Run More compression.!

                  I mentioned Singh Grooves, this is the link to this Brilliant Man's site.

                  http://somender-singh.com/
                  Global solutions to reduce pollution from automobiles. More torque and power out of less fuel!

                  This site has a small link on the right side to Pics 2005.
                  You will see what people do to achieve this Improvement.
                  -
                  The grooves in the Head allow you to run Higher Compression without the
                  problems usually associated with doing this. The grooves allow for more complete burn of fuel.

                    Yeah I have some rear drums for you Glenn, dont leave it too long tho.

                    I have seen lots of cracked manifolds from using normal unleaded. It makes em get hotter and so break. God knows what it does to the rest of the engine. Use 98 octane. Or at least 95 with a carby.

                      A year and a half , and so Little done on my next car.
                      I am planning on taking some time off work to get this " Moving ".
                      Was hoping Oval Beetle prices would have gone crazy high by now
                      to Aid injecting lots of funds into this project..........Alas , dont think
                      I will get much for my Oval [ well used, requiring paint- 1916cc].
                      Been doing little bits on the Rocco, and it is in pretty good shape.
                      So shouldnt take too long to get it together.
                      Motor runs beautifully, has a nice note - got to love those Dells.

                              I took some pics when I got it out of garage on the weekend.
