Loading the canon for OCC

Forces within the Sechs Volt Garage are stepping up to defend the Norwegian colors in central Europe sometime next summer. A selection of Old Speed Canons are rumored to hit the roads in a fierce battle between German engineering, home brewed ingenuety and a bit madness. The Abarth Zwitter will be ready to fight in the small displacement class, and we gladly eat Okrasa and Judson engines for breakfast... Prepare yourselves in the south; we are loading the canon with balls of steel... and sliding into our outlaw shirts =)

WE DON'T PLAY - WE BATTLE

Maiden aircooled journey - spring 2010

Knechten didn't exactly had a hard time in getting his race-switter up and running and out of the barn the other day....the Abarth beast fired on all four right up, and drove out in the sunshine =)

All revved up and no place to go....good thing BugRun 2010 isn't far away! =)

Vintage speed in the Sechs volt garage

The "hard vintage speed-gang" were toghether last night for some serious talk. The agenda for the meeting was Old speed/Vintage speed. Hot Pizza, cold lemonade, VW-cookies and hot coffe in the countryside in a cowhouse. We had a great time talking, dreaming, laughing and kidding. The most of the possible available items for "souping the Volkswagen" were present; Judson, 356-engine, Express, Dietz, TDE, MAG, Retwish, Abarth (rare!), Italmeccanica
and some more.

Knechten and the Abarth

On this picture Knechten (left) are buying a nice Abarth-muffler for his cool Zwitter. Brezelfürsten did buy some parts for his car, but not too much. Oval57 did also buy some, but nothing special? The market at H-O and Bad Camberg is a BIT to expencive:(

Abarth 30 Hk tuning kit

As we have a thing for nostalgia speed parts, some of the OutlaVWs boys are always sniffing around for more more. This time a combined gut-feel among two of the OutlaVWs brought this carburator kit into the garage. We don't know much about it yet, other that it fits like a glove on a 30 Hk (36 Hp) engine. The intake manifolds are marked with the "Abarth" logo, and the aircleaners with "F.I.S.P.A Torino". The carburators seem to be Solex 32 PBIC as far as we can tell. The linkage is missing, but seem to be some kind of "kadron" type. We are aware of the Abarth mufflers available for 30 Hk engines, but have only read somwhere that Abarth submitted tuning parts for VW. So ofcourse we are very interested in any information on this carburator kit, especially any photo or an old ad that can show the linkage.
