Hello everyone

Happy Christmas, sorry not been on for a while, but been having a bit of a time of it lately still all now sorted and just in time for Chrimbo (New Job).

All the best

Chris

Your Fastback looks fab (Empi 8's look great). Had one or two new duff plugs before not something you expect really, although I do remember getting warned not all new plugs are good when I just started driving (quite a time ago). Good luck with MOT

All the best

Chris

Fantastic looking Fasty (and Square) colour does look amazing and Hats off to you for doing this on your parents drive and when you were younger too. Amazing stuff.

All the best

Chris

Without hijacking the thread I would like to Thank Pete for getting me a tail pipe sorted, very kind indeed.

All the best

Chris

Had a look and PM replied to, cheers Pete

All the best

Chris

Thats interesting, thanks Pete, do you know are they the same as the two piece early bay tails pipes or are the angles different ?
Do you have any For sale Pete, if so how much are you looking for.

Thanks again

Chris

Hi Pete

Thanks for the response
Outlet on the silencer is 36mm diameter
The old tailpipe is 41mm diameter

All the best

Hi All. Just a quickie, I have bought a new old stock standard silencer and have got it all fitted on the car. The only trouble is that the tailpipe outlet is too small, would this be from a 1500, mine is a 1967 1600, would this harm my engine at all. I am not sure whether to get a small length of e...

Brilliant stuff, sounds very interesting. Good luck with the launch.

All the best

Chris

Very nice piccies, gutted that I could not go.

Hope you all had a lovely time.

All the best

Chris

Hi Dubberclub Thanks for the reply, I have managed to order two primary heater boxes from DesiType3 and the copper crush rings from a US aviation supplier and once those bits come through shall remain standard as already have a Silencer, so will not now need to go for something aftermarket (he says ...

Cheers Dave

I have used the link and placed an order, just waiting for shipping cost to be calculated.

All the best

Thanks Guys (would love an over the top style they look bloomin nice) I had a peek tonight (forgot I was on Earlies) mine appear to be the squared off ones, I wish I could chance taking off to see if I could separate however we tried with a mega long 46 mm spanner at Brian and Janes in Elham however...

Hi Pete I will have to have a look tried taking some piccies from underneath earlier which were not very revealing at all so will have to wait til my next day off to have a look now, I am off Sunday so once I have come back from doing a boot fair I will have a look, did not know there were different...

Very nice, wheels look great, I would have love a set for mine one day !

All the best

Chris

Cheers Col

Had a lookie and looks to fit okay, I think I may go for one to keep me going when I take my standard exhaust off and try to sort out the primary heater box conundrum.

Thanks again

All the best

Chris

Hello All

Sorry to ask, but I see Cool Air sell the Single quiet pack for Type 3s, will these fit under the standard rear valance or is surgery required ?

Many thanks in advance

Chris

Thanks Pete, not sure when to do it as want to use it if you know what I mean and on past experience things don't always go to plan !!!

Thanks for the info and I will let you know re the copper rings.

All the best

Chris

Hi All Just a quickie, what aftermarket exhausts are available for the type 3 range now, can't seem to find much looking round various vendors, used to be able to get single quiet packs, monzas but can't see anything like that now, the tri mill over the top/tuckaways look good, any other options tho...

Hi All Some of my VW Models The cabinet in the lounge http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/5254/mycarsjan20081826.jpg MAde the Single cab rat look pick up 1/24th Scale http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/1088/mycarsjan20081827.jpg http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/9429/mycarsjan20081829.jpg http://img84...

Thanks for the info Dave, one of those Tri Mill over the tops looks quite tempting at the mo.

All the best

Chris

Cheers Mike for the advice and measurement. I must admit I am wary of taking apart incase it all goes wrong, although got a large pair of stilsons to hand so may give it a go.

All the best

Chris

Hello All. Sorry if been asked before, however my stiock silencer needs to be replaced, I have got a NOS one and will need the two smaller Heat exchangers that form each part of headers, I understand that you need copper washers to fit these together, can you still get hold of these at all. I will n...

Steve If you take the letter or certificate to the DVLA VRO, there is likely to be one in your county town, if they are happy they issue you with a reg number there and then, they alter your MOT and Will take your V5 and send you a new one, they also give you a V19 (I think) which you take to your n...

Hi Innocenti. Fantastic Square, looks really nice, love the colour (is it Gulf Blue ?). I had the same problem with my Fasty, DVLA registered as a 69 when she is actually a 67. I approached VW UK who sent out an E-mail questionaire and wanted it filled in and a fee of £50 ! Could not belive how much...
