Ah yeah those racks are awesome, i think some people get them fabbed up. I have the 'newer' style ones;

My car/racks


I do believe the company that makes these also do a basket that attaches to the racks.

Hahah yeah the carbs always need a tune. Would highly recommend a pasat manifold with a 32/36 weber. All you need is a re-build kit and you'll never look back. Only thing is when you take a corner hard the carb surges ahahah. Yeah thanks man, actually had a lot of people compliment me heaps on the two cars. Got a civic atm and the swallowtail is on hold until i settle in the new house. All the best with this, keen for progress.

already got a passat manifold and not 100% sure what the carb is... its a weber (established that much) has DGR stamped on it and from what i've found its pretty much same same as the DGV/DGAV...


...i dunno... but basically its sweet until you hit full throttle and (as the secondary butterfly valve opens) it hesitates and nothing happens and holds back... basically its running lean and we've narrowed it down to the secondary jet being blocked - just haven't had the time to clean it out properly yet! checked the plugs and they're looking pretty white so its looking like its lean...

anyway i better get on top of this uni assignment due tomorrow...
