Hey Black_math!! Welcome to the forum😎:thumb
Sounds like you'll have a great ride to get around in when you get the licence🙂
Well I was the welcoming committee
The guys will be in later to talk speed with you, not my area of expertise😉
Hope you enjoy it around here, and post some pics of your bug in members rides some time. Let us know how it's going
Cheers :sandrine
Thanks man i should have it down from gatton in the next few weeks then ile post some pics🙂 so yeah
welcome Black_math,
it really depends if you have a standard motor or a hottie!
i've got a 1835 thats pretty quick but it cost a few bucks,
start saving!!!
Hey Black_math. i too am only 17 and basically a youngun. i drive a 97 golf and a 64 type three notchback.
max speed? what yr/engine type?
my golf (which is essentiall unmodded) hasn't actually been maxed out but it's gone past 210 quite easily
Zac
Oh im not sure at the engin type yet we still gotta shop around abit to find a good deal as ive olny got about 300$ but i should have more soon, but when i do find the stats ile post em. and its just gonan be a standard, and just call me black math ya dont needa worry bout da underscore, 🙂
ahh okay then black math
sounds very evil man:vader
LOL Zac
Looks like you guys will have fun:party
i don't think there is any way a standard golf could (easily) do anything over 200 lol
115hp just can't push that much frontal area. Even the Gti would struggle past the 220 mark.
if it's a bug, it'll max out at around 80 Mph.
put a hotter motor in it, you'll get 110 mph, but aerodynamically speaking (hahhaa hahaHAHAHAHAH hahH .. hah.) bugs aren't.
although if it was chopped it might be a better option. for top speed anyway.
welcome the the fold, black-_-math 😀
we'll need lotsa photos of your machine, so get snappin. we love to kick tyres 😀
let sleeping dubs lie
Hey Black Math
Have you looked into the 'Tech' and 'Paint and Body' areas here. They're good for asking questions, or answering someone elses :thumb
If your looking for bits 'Buy, Swap and Sale'. Hmmm, a very popular area😉
You've probably checked them out already LOL
Cheers
Black Math if you want your bug to go fast you need to endow it with special magical powers like mine.😀 It can go fast but only when you close your eyes...:o

welcome black math... the other thing to think about is the gearbox and ratios. you could get teh big motor and find your top speed not much different. and if you plan to do the BIG speeds. get ya brakes sorted out as well. hope you do the advanced driving course. we dont want our vw's nastied up...
and 555bug. standard golf/audi will get 225 on the red line. have done this and soon as i fix me scanner will post a pic of speedo for ya.
