'74 Racebug
(foto autosportfotografie Dirk van Vuure)
Our racebug in action
This started as an '74 "Sparkaefer" 1200. Completely gutted, welded and fitted with a FIA-sanctioned six-point rollcage. Porsche 944 brakes, fronthubs were made in house, 944 rear trailing-arms and SPAX adjustable shocks. 8.5x17" and 9x17" OZ Futura's with Dunlop slicks. Gearbox used was a 901 with LSD and custom gearing. Inside you could find a 3"five-point harnass and a carbon racing seat as well as Lexan windows. Air was ducted to the carburettors through NACA-ducts in the side-windows.
We built a new 2180 Type 1 engine using all new parts like a 82mm SCAT crankshaft, SCAT super-rods, 92mm MAHLE P/C kit, ENGLE camshaft, Dellorto 48 DRLA Tri-Jet carburetors, 44x37.5mm valves in welded heads and a dry-sump system.

1969 Porsche 2.4 liter converted to Turbo-look.
Porsche 911 3.0 SC
Original 2.4 is removed and stored. In its place we fitted a 1981 3.0 liter SC engine. In the process we modified the 3.0 liter. For example we fitted it with the complete 2.4 exhaust-system readjusted the camshafts, the fueling and ignition so it put out 210 HP instead off the original 180 HP.
Shockabsorbers are adjustable SPAX all around. To fit these we modified the struts. Car is lowered 60mm.
The original brake-calipers are exchanged for S-type callipers. These callipers are fitted with our own stainless steel pistons. This combined with bigger and ventilated brake-discs give tremendous stopping power while maintaining that original look through the Fuchs wheels.
Original fueltank is replaced with an RS plastic lightweight fueltank which can contain 90 liters. GRP front and rear bonnet and RSR frontbumper/spoiler.
This is a daily driver but can keep up with a lot of newer cars during trackdays which it has done a lot in the last six years.

911 Turbo bj.1980
Porsche 911 3.3 turbo
An original 1980 Porsche 911 3.3 liter turbo. The rear fenders are extended 3" to RSR width. Wheels fitted are 9J x 15" in front with 285 x 40ZR x 15" tyres in front and 12J x 15" rear with 345 x 35ZR x 15" tyres.

'73 VW 1303-S
This Bug was a daily driver until it was stripped for a life as a racing bug. Other priority's are the cause we abandoned this project. This bug is now being restored to a special project or back to original. Maybe a black-yellow replica with 944 suspension and brakes. Enginewise it can be a Type 1 or an outrageous Type 4. Time will tell.

VW Transporter T3 (Camper) bj.1980
This is our partshauler / hamburger-chaser!
Picturegallery 2002 overhaul original 2 liter Type 4 engine
Picturegallery 2002 engine-bay
This 2.0 liter Type 4 is overhauled and blueprinted. We fitted a solid camshaft and lifters from a fuel-injected 1.7 liter Type 4. The original Solex carburators are exchanged for 40mm Kadrons with our own manifolds and we modified the heads for higher compression.
Both torque and horsepower are higher than original and topspeed is up 10 Km/Hr.
We made a new exhaustsystem to let the engine breath easier and therefore cooler. As base we used a Phoenix header and mated this to a turbomuffler. The sound is sporty with a dark rumble at idle.
We haven't been able to dyno the engine yet so torque and horsepower-figures are only theoretical.

Car will be lowered 50mm and front and rear stabilizer-bars will be fitted to improve road-holding.
Main reason for these measures is the fact that eventually a 2.5 liter Subaru (Bi)Turbo-engine will be fitted. As test engine we will fit a 2.0 liter WRX engine with Japanes specifications with 250 HP. Engine will be fitted with DTA, and together with more boost and fuel-pressure this will result in a engine that will put out around 300 HP. This may sound conservative but our goal is as much torque as possible.
De Subaru Impreza 2.5 liter Bi-Turbo engine will be fitted with DTA, JE pistons, Carillo rods a special downpijp and a in-house made exhaust-system. Again, torque is our main goal.
