Do you know that feeling....

There it was again...

This morning, I sat in my little reliable car on my way to work, the brigth blue sky and the early sun shining on my head and my all-time favorite Beach-Boys CD playing loud in the radio.

Actually, everything seems to be right and perfect after this never-ending winter - but it was just the wrong car I was sitting in! It's just not the same, listing to the California Girls and Little Deuce Coupe in a black 2000' 60hp Polo!
After more than half a year, it is time! - I want to be back behind the large steering wheel of a bug and listen not only to summer-surfing music but also to the sound of this little 4-banger boxer!

Well, Job, Studies, Time and Money won't allow it to me. Not now and not in the near future - so maybe I've got to try to open the large sunroof in my polo to supress the withdrawal symptomes of not being aircooled! ... It is truly an addiction.

The Search

... for some extra power.
I think it is on the time to get a little more power into my black beetle. So I started to do some headwork first. I reworked the combustion chamber like it was shown in Bill Fisher´s book (thanks mario!!!). Nothing special, just trying to get a little more flow thru the heads. A 3 angle valve job will follow soon. The w 120 is getting switched against a w 125 with 70gr. lifters from CBperfo. and I think I'll set the c.r. somewhere around 10:1. The rods and rockers will be polished and balanced. And maybe I will bolt on a 41mm merged header, but at this point I´m not sure ...
