Fabos new circuit bug.

Sneek peak at Fabos new circuit / hillclimb bug which he has finally finished. Fabos taking it out today for a test and tune day at Barbargello for its first track outing. IMO I think Fabo has done a top job as I think the car looks PHAT! This car will be running as a sport sedan so Chris has put a lot of time into attention to detail with this one. I know first hand what spending that little extra time on finishing off a race car can have and I have no doubt he/we will see this thing setting some quick times soon. I have seen the attention to detail in this build and its pretty top notch. Well done and congrates on the project. Now go and enjoy it. Btw. Love the colour. Old skool race car.

I have seen your style of sway bars and think they are the best setup to make at home. Can you post or pm me some more pics of your setup. There was a build link a few years ago, but can't find it. If you are keen to share some bar thicknesses and plate sizesetc that would be great too!
How's the car going?

Hey Aaron,my front bar is a 19mm and rear 25mm both 2mm wall.I think my red car I ran a 22mm front bar but decided smaller on this one as its a bit lighter car....I welded some 2-3mm flat plate on to the ends and that is what the alloy blades bolt to...easy as....I'm on holidays in Africa ATM so no picked..

Have a goodie.

I made mine out of mild steel tube. 👍

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
