Manx Club

Cleaning up some space on my HDD I found some more pics of Iguana 001. http://www.manxgallery.org/gallery/albums/Iguana001Finished/P1020372.sized.jpg [center]The one piece flip forward bonnet made fitting a fuel tank filler cap and getting to the radiator much easier. http://www.manxgallery.org/gall...

So that is where it is at. Like most who build buggies I must take a quick moment to thank a few people who have gotten it this far. The Aust Manx Club, Rob, Nick, Jarrad, Wes, Dave and Andrew to name a few. Add to that Custom Offroad / Custom Vee Dub and we are on the way to getting something done....

[font=Times New Roman] So I best get onto the buggy as this is what we are here for, my life buggy story is no where near as cool as what I hope my Iguana.

[FONT=Times New Roman] I don?t really know where to start so I guess here is as good a place as any. [/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman] I have been into cars or bikes of some sort as long as I can remember so it was no real surprise when I came across a VW buggy that I became quit fanatical and proceede...

To check a ball joint there are three easy ways. 1 - If you have a big ass set of multi grips / vice grips / pliers etc simple open them up over the BJ and squeeze the bottom of the bolt towards the top of the BJ. So you are squeezing it together. If there is ANY upwards movement then your BJ is st...

That is a cool looking buggy, any details on what engine it is running and how it cools with the radiator down there ?

Hi Guys, I was just wondering if there are any Manx Club Members / Buggy heads in or near Destin Florida ? I am over from Australia for a few months and would love to meet some locals and check out some US Buggies. Cheers,

[QUOTE="rossdc"][font=Times New Roman] I purchased a Subaru 2.2L SOHC engine, wire harness and everything else needed to make it run. It is a non-turbo engine with 135hp and 143ftlbs of torque. To keep things simple I plan to install the radiator in the stock location to the engine putting...

[QUOTE="CairoManx"]I came across this webpage for a UK company that makes replacement bell housings that allow the direct mounting of Subaru engines to VW 091 and 094 transaxles without using an adapter plate. I sounds like there's lots of advantages like using all stock Subaru flywheel, a...

You can use an LED as the Alt Wng light but you will need to add a resistor to the system so as it works correctly. If you let me know what size LED you are going to use I will let you know what to add.

[QUOTE="garthom"]Ready to drill 1 7/8" hole in firewall for steering column tube. Used straight edge with rag joint bolted up to get angle for hole, then marked & drilled small hole. Looks like hole is way too low for cross brace, (which is a Berrien). Does steering box sometimes ...

Just for peoples info the reason you get this issue when you use a M/C which comes from a brake system which was designed for disc brakes is due to the fact the tha Disc Callipers do not force the fluid back into the M/C like a drum brake setup does. This means when you use a Disc M/C on a drum brak...
