well owning one isnt that bad but 4ageing it is mean!

WhiteRice · 3rd July 2008, 09:35 PM

Not sure why you'd bother with the engine swap; you should be able to make similar power levels by putting a turbo on a 1500. Don't have to do anything to the drivetrain then.

And you can still use the factory bootlid

Wheelstands? you need some serious tyres for that. These things like lighting up the back wheels, esp if it's wet

macabre · 5th July 2008, 04:36 PM

probably go alright, but the engine sticking way out the back is just ugly in my opinion.

AccordB20A · 5th July 2008, 05:29 PM

wheelstands? hahaha
gearbox will either go or the engine will run a bearing before you even get the chance to try ha

nearly as silly as the AB lude with the 4age on trademe also

WhiteRice · 5th July 2008, 07:52 PM

1302 gearbox is damn near bulletproof, provided you don't run it at 9000rpm
Beetles weigh less than 800kg, and most of the weight is near the back, so once you get some traction, wheelstands aren't too difficult

mrslippyfingers · 5th July 2008, 10:59 PM

I've raced against this car several times at Manfeild track. There is frequently another Beetle with a 2500cc N/A Subaru engine in it that comes with our group as well.

This particular one is very quick and amazingly nimble. Someone just got themselves a real bargain, the owner is completely genuine and very knowledgeable, I've talked to him on several occasions.

Can't wait to get our EJ20T VW Buggy in the works properly!

Glad to see they uprated the brakes...anyone who's ever driven one will never forget their first (non-)braking moment.
