Every Time......

Believe it or not, I drive the bug daily...about 400kms a week and there is not a time when it does not put a smile on my face. For some reason it is screaming at present. Monday....evo8 lancer(worked) held 3 cars from stand still and roll starts pulled away, Tuesday GTIR Pulsar...pulled easily 7 cars on a roll start in second...Wednesday E30 convertible BMW with a stroked 2.8 litre turbo 6cylinder.....He had never been beaten he told me when he caught up. Anyone want a ride...pop by Beecroft and then go to a Jap wreckers for an engine. Big Smiles! BIG Smiles! Matt

Depends on your model...if you have a beam front like me, then the best way is to place the radiator on the spare wheel well...mine fits exactly from one side to the other and is only 300mm high. Then cut the bottom out of the area below the rad and drop it and inch below the original line if the car and make a small scoop that ducts air into the space left in front...it will have no where to go but through the radiator.

here's mine (never mind the hose)

the key is getting all the air to go through the radiator and to let it escape from behind it as eassy as possible.

In 20 years time when people are looking for Lbug boxes to put in there "retro-style wrx powered" beetles and complaining they can't find any anymore, I'll send them round to you guy's nursing homes with axe handles, tar and feathers.
