New parts..

Photobucket
There is a 30 bhp style coolhouse fitted, wich is actually a doghouse. It gives space to fit the oldspeed airfilters. And in the future i can fit Riechtert carbs easily!

Photobucket
And a golf 3 brakeservo was fitted. The surfbus now stops better than my daily driver!

VW sportexhaust... bit more vroemmmm!

Engine out!

Photobucket

Last week the Surfbus went to the garage to get a brakeservo from a VW Golf 3, reposition the oiltemperature-sensor from underneath the engine to the rear and fine-tune the engine. That's what started some more...
The engine had an oilleakage because of worn rubber seals on the bottom of the oilcooler. So that got fixed..
Because i want oldspeed airfilters i had the coolhouse (the doghouse-model) changed for one in 30 bhp-style. Now i have room for the airfilters and in the future i can fit Riechtert carbs very easily!
Also there will be an VW sport exhaust fitted. Looks like the beetle exhaust but helps the engine breath better.

Weber carbs

A busfriend did some wrenching in the enginebay of my Surfbus:

Photobucket
Stripped engine.

Photobucket
The workspace.

There wasn't enough space to fit the oldskool/okrassa-style airfilters. This is because of the fact that i have the "doghouse"-coolhousing. I'm going to make some tubes wich wil fit on the carbs and on the airfilters. I will make them just long enough to fit along the coolinghouse. And then i'll post a photo of it. I don't like the modern airfilters wich are on it now!

Next meeting

Hopefully my new Webers will run good to make it to the show!

Holidayphotos 2010

Some photos from my holiday in France. We had great weather, waves and no problems with the Surfbus!
The bus rode 2800 km and the usage was 1:9. Wich is pretty good for a mild 1641 cc engine.

First stop at the Dutch/Belgium border.

We stopped just below Paris in a place called Dourdan. Next day we drove down to Contis Plage near the Atlantic Ocean.
