Porsche / VW Race Bus, Fast Bus, Sleeper Bus ...**Info & Idea Thread
Post information, photos, videos & interesting ideas as the title implies.
All purest nazi's, doubters & haters are NOT welcome here. There are more than enough other threads on this site for you. Mild to highly modified Porsche inspired VW Buses are rapidly growing in popularity. This is for those who mix "Porsche with Bus", so don't be afraid to speak up & share ideas because this thread is for you. From Barndoor Split Buses to more current VW Transporters, post anything positive that relates to fast VW Buses mated with Porsche blood. Mild to wild race setups, fast daily drivers, 500hp buses, closed course race buses, cross country racing, suspensions, transmissions, roll cage ideas, safety issues, external oil cooler info, EFI setups, Turbo setups, fiberglass ideas, sleeper race splits, rack & pinion setups, disc brake setups, ect. ect.

The owner of Fabcar built an unbelievable 993 powered early bus for his wife, including suspension and brakes. I know somewhere there is a great article on it, as well you to look no father than www.racetaxi.com for the baddest early bus on the planet, if you can call it a bus.

Who has photos or info on the Jerry Seinfeld Porsche powered 65 Splitty? or was it just all talk?
 "Comedian JERRY SEINFELD has picked an unusual way to mark his 50th birthday - he's driving across America in an old van with his childhood pals to eat at their favourite New York diner. The former SEINFELD star, who celebrated his big day on 29 April (04), will hit the road with CHRIS MISIANO - who serves as one of the directors on THE WEST WING - and Oregon doctor CLIFF SINGER, both pals from his native New York. He says, "We are going to get in a '65 VW bus in Santa Monica, California, and we're going to drive it to the MASSAPEQUA DINER in Long Island. "There's only one change I did make to (the van). It's all original except I put a PORSCHE engine in it. So if you see a bus like this going a lot faster than it seems like it should be able to go, that will be us!" Seinfeld and his pals plan to set off on their journey on Monday (17MAY04)." 14/05/2004 02:30 |

Here is one owned and built by Bill Brewster in San Clemente Ca. It is a 89 3.2 with better exhaust, four wheel disk and full suspension, a 915 trans.
