The Druckenmiller Karmann Ghia Blog. Friday, March 31, 2006. Rumor Has it . I heard somewhere that Dad finally got new tires for his Ghia and is pleased with the tuneup done on it two weeks ago. But, interestingly enough there's nothing on this blog about that. Curious, very curious. I did find out that the CV joints on the right side are both worn out with pitting on the races. But, the pitting only occurs on one side of the grooves in the races because the axle only torques in one direction to driv...

The Druckenmiller Karmann Ghia Blog. Tuesday, March 27, 2007. I got the Ghia out of storage today and took it for a couple of drives. Started right up and still running like a champ. I cut the wires I was using to hold open the heater flaps and re-adjusted the timing, too. That's why I wanted to check and re-set my timing. I wasn't sure if they'd gotten that right. Of course, it was fun just driving. The thing around today, too. Posted by Chris Druckenmiller at 7:27 PM. High performance and stock parts.

The Druckenmiller Karmann Ghia Blog. Monday, October 31, 2005. New tires make all the difference. Spent $250 at Samaritan Tires. This afternoon to replace the positively ancient. And crappy tires that came with the car with some Republic Ultra Metrics. The rear were actually snow tires and had several bald spots on them. They made horrible noises at any speed and especially while cornering and I could just imagine them having a blowup on the highway. Not good. I turned the flow control valve a lot furthe...

The Druckenmiller Karmann Ghia Blog. Saturday, January 28, 2006. I'll never pay for a tuneup again. Around 2 pm today Dad called me at the worst possible time. He wanted to talk about our stupid skiing trip to stupid Wisconsin and stupid Michigan that we're doing in lieu of glorious Montana. I had a hard time concentrating on what he was saying about where we should get a hotel near Mt. Bohemia because when he called I had my hands full with a tach/dwell meter. It was the last. A simple procedure, non?

The Druckenmiller Karmann Ghia Blog. Friday, December 30, 2005. The Difference Between Men and Boys. I was raised on Legos. They're the perfect toy, especially if you're parenting on a budget. All you have to do is buy your kids a few Lego kits with enough parts and they can just build all those expensive toys they covet. As a side-effect Legos have certain educational qualities. And had enough interchangable and versatile pieces to make just about anything I wanted. I couldn't replicate the rocker arm a...

The Druckenmiller Karmann Ghia Blog. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Long time no post). I sold my Ghia this summer to a friend of mine who lives in Shanghai. It was a hard decision but we had four vehicles, a new baby, moved to a small town and one of the classic VWs had to go. I decided to keep the Bus because with Dad's Ghia we've still got at least one in the family and the Bus is actually usefull as a mountain bike support vehicle. I also hold out hope that eventually I'll be at a point where I could buy...

The Druckenmiller Karmann Ghia Blog. Saturday, April 29, 2006. I keep giving Dad a hard time about his lack of posting. He keeps saying he's going to, but I know he's pretty busy with the end of the school year coming up and all. I'm sure once summer comes he'll be out-pacing me with updates here, right Dad? Now it's time to stop for a moment getting my Robert Pirsig on, cut with the chautauqua crap and talk about the latest work I've done on the Ghia. Last night I got my new parts order in from Cip1.

The Druckenmiller Karmann Ghia Blog. Monday, October 30, 2006. Everyone reacts the same when I tell them about the cracked intake manifold. They usually gasp and then say "That souds bad! Interestingly, I'm not stressed out about it much. I know exactly what's wrong, have ordered a $50 replacement manifold (exchanging that for the $70 manifold I initially ordered because the $50 manifold has removable heat risers making for easier installation) and will fix it. I worry that I'll have trouble finding the ...

The Druckenmiller Karmann Ghia Blog. Wednesday, February 22, 2006. Over lunch today I enjoyed a sunny, mid-30s day driving the Ghia out to the suburbs just to get a sub. On the way back I heard a horrible. Sound on the highway. It was a fast, rhythmic "ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka! Sound very obviously keeping pace with wheel rotation from the rear-right of the car. I'll have to figure out a plan to patch up that heater box as I'm no doubt losing a lot of heat out that gap when I could really use it in ...
