MadMike's 'Casper' 76 bug

[madmike]

Sorry Chip ,I don't look @ Gauges when I launch That's the crew chief's job and I only gave him one ride, and told him to check out how much Boost am I running, It's was only 15lbs,, (got to borrow my son's Go-Pro,someday )

[Chip Birks]

I figured you were running msd with a 2 step or similar. I have a speedo in my car and thats it. But i do try to datalog when i race. It records way more than i need to know. Pretty nice to look back at though.

[madmike]

I had full MSD system w/2step,, till it took a poop. 2 boxes in two weeks , I currently run a Mallory single point dizzy and a Bosch Blue coil

[Chip Birks]

Gotcha, been there and done that. Now I just use a homemade setup. Much better!

[madmike]

well it's that time of the year , Bug's in the garage getting stored for the winter snow on the ground this morning
bus will be stored less the 2 weeks and I'll start 'Hibernating'

[madmike]

Got to bust out of 'Hibernating' to go down state to see my Doctor(reg check-up) and were having a frickin snow storm already 6" and still coming down ,, good thing I just installed new winterforce tires on the wife's toyota Corolla ,,only a 2 1/2 hr drive with good roads, I'll give myself an extra hour,,, I don't 'Drink' anymore but if I did, I'd have to say
" Hold My Beer & watch this" To all my Booted Friends,, Have a "Great Christmas"

[madmike]

well "Happy new Year Guys"
I was an hour early for my Doc.
Been thinking about new rear street tires that hookup and sizes probably M&H or Mickey's
What'ch all running?

[buguy]

I picked these up for about $50 each. I get great traction on my 1600 that doesn't build boost till 4500 rpm!

[madmike]

Thanks But I think I need cheater slicks
my bug will roast the treads off thoses

[buguy]

I was just bustin your chops! I'm hoping mine does too soon!

[buguy]

I always liked this look of this car. I don't know what the rear tires are but they look just right to me!

It's missing a turbo and FI..........

[buguy]

Haha! True. But I just like the look of it. Let's pretend it's just hidden behind that decklid!

Ive always loved the look of this car too...its even better in person!

Ive been eyeing the M&H DOT's lately...sounds like most have had really good luck with them. My 60 ft times are terrible and would like to drive them down with something a little stickier:

That would be just the right size for the "look"!
