Thanks Jonathan! This will save me from having to scratchbuild my own to replicate my old 1:1.

Saving pennies starts NOW...

Procrastination wins once again!    I need one of these!

Cool...maybe someone will tool up a diesel engine also.

Ooh, diesel engine!

I can see buying one of these at some point to make a race car... then a beater one in roller brown.

Notice the front wheels/tires are thicker then the back for more grip.  This thing is wicked!

TRUE!!!

Can't procrastinate too long though getting one of these transkits, or I'll be scratchbuilding one anyway!

Here it is in a drag race;

and here I was waffling about paying an extra few bucks for the RoG GTI...  Definitely going to have to get one of these, my wife just got a job so I'll take that as a sign that I do in fact need this.

THANKS Jonathan for showing this transkit! Now, i have to order one and the Revell-GTI-kit ( <- i never wanted till yet)

Clearly scale just came out with these. Perfect timing...

[aurfalien]

Yep for sure.  To make em more racy one can forgo the carb/filter piece and use a stand alone Weber like from HRM or Scale Auto etc...  Or cut off the flter and make some venturies.  Still if I got this kit I'd make it like the ABD racing version; "Silver Mullet".

Here is a cool article about it with a cool interior pic;

Thanks Scott both versions of my 16V DOHC engine, Webers and EFI ITBs are available now on clearlyscale.com

Just a note, Chris's Caddy is based on the new Revell Golf chassis, which my 16V engines (and all coming H2O VW engine sets) are designed to fit directly into, with only mild shifter link modification
