Dropping a waterboxer on Sunday if anyone wants to swing by. Refreshments to be arranged if anybody is interested. I'm on the border of Renton and Newcastle.

What are you going to put in instead or do to it while it's out Marc? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) My wife want the big 2.4 or 2.5L GoWesty waterboxer in "her car" - our 88 Westy - I can just see her popping wheelies in it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) - she already does the turns on 2 wheels! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif) .... but I told he she has to wait until it needs a new engine - gotta get my 914 resto done first doncha know!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I've got another 2.1 wasserboxer going into it so I can sell the 2wd Westy. I've also got a Syncro Westy that's getting a 3.3 Subie six. I'm convinced that the Subie is the way to go in a w/c Westy. Even though I'm doing the six, the 2.5 or 2.2 fours are ideal compared to the wasserboxer; more power, much better mileage, more reliable and a great torque curve. VW bailed on quality engineering when they converted to water cooling in the Vanagon. Conversely, the only real weak point of the Vanagons are the engines. The platform itself; tranny, suspension, interior layout are all excellent and make for great traveling partners. |
