Having a trip to Rossendale Models tomorrow to see Stevo & discuss a spec for a stage 2 engine. The 4wd does an excellent job getting the power down with the current DDM ported head kit which is a flier so hoping for good things from it. Ive decided on Stevo over an Oddie purely down to location for back up and he obviously does ok with his engines in the races scene. Is it Christmas already :lol: Cant wait now :D
 
nice about time mate once you get it after xmas and its run in best you come down bashing again i gotta see it go mate

at the lsor event in feb i see stevo's mcd and that was flying your bug will love it 4wd rally drift time lol
 
Will def have another look down next year mate. There is talk of a job coming up in Essex so I might be local ish to you anyway :D Cant wait to get it now :D
 
enjoy it mate i know since meeting you that you wanted it,,,,lifes to short mate and it would be so rude to even if it does mean youve got leave santa a extra mince pie and a carrot oh and don't forget the glass of milk lol
 
Just got back from speaking with Stevo and Im going for a 4 bolt 28.5cc zen stage 2 race tuned engine complete with clutch and 990 carb. I asked him about the best pipe and told him I had the FG tuned pipe and he reckons that will be fine and will suit the linear delivery of the race engine so happy days!

We are just agreeing the price as I have a 23cc zen that will be used as a donor so once that is done its all good to go!
 
Just had a call from Stevo and we have agreed the price so the wheels are in motion!! Happy days :cup-1:

Funny :lol::lol:
Had a long chat with Stevo on the phone & called in on my way home. Sounds like I will need a few ally parts to handle the extra power so engine mounts & gear carrier are on the list now as well as 20/44 gears :crying::crying: My stock plastic bug will be no more. Its gonna turn into a Ren style superbug at this rate :lol::lol:

just wait untill youve added a few alloy bits and the plastic starts looking shite then you will think i'll just get these in alloy and this in alloy before you blink its all alloy twice the weight and on a shelf all polished ask keith:lol:
 
Ive already got some ally parts but they need cleaning up. Might get them bead blasted for a matt finish just to be different. Large engine mount in ally for the 4wd are like rocking horse poop used so might have to bite the bullet on that and get new.
 
im sure theres a 4wd large mount on ebay now mate as it don't look the same as 2wd ones i'll find it and post a link,,,,was going to get both my cars anodised in black to be different looked into the cost of a anodising kit a while back think it will look good
