A cross between a baja and a super maybe?
Or is it just my imagination seeing a higher than usual stance😂

Certainly an odd one thats for sure. Im still unsure how it came to be "Ruralised" and in tasmania. She came down from QLD 5 years ago.ryana89 wrote:I like it🙂

Gday again,
I keep coming back and liking the look of this bug more and more.
Do you know whats been done to make it look the way it does?
Any suspensions mods or playing around with offsets or have the Minilite rims been simply bolted on?
One last question, do you know what size Minilite rims they are?
Thankyou👍

G'day mate! Nice Super. The high-altitude ride height reminds me of mine.
Were they really this tall from the factory? Mine doesn't look quite right, but I highly doubt that it would have ever had any suspension mods to lift it. I'm planning to drive mine around a bit first and see how it handles before I worry about lowering, but they do seem awfully high! I've got a minimum of about 25cm ground clearance.

Mark, yours and Will's are both stock height at the front
its just oversize tyres exaggerating it
but looking at the back both of them look like there lifted 1 outter spline, probably to stop the tyres scrubbing
Ryan i think 4x130 minilites only come in 15x6

I reckon she has been lifted at the rear, makes it good on the beach thats for sure! Only thing is it makes it a bit wild in the wet ive found. probably not a great tyre combo either.
It looks bloody neat that red bug, any more pictures?
And the rims are 15x6. With nice Wiiide tyres 😀

Thanks Joel, that's an interesting bit of information. I wouldn't describe my tyres as oversize though, if anything they're slightly smaller diameter than stock, 195/70R14 on 14x6" rims. I don't think mine would have been lifted at the rear either though, as it came on stock rims when I bought it and in my experience 195s don't scrub anyway.
Rural Baja, I've got plenty more pictures mate, the build thread link is in my signature. The Superbug is mostly on page 2: http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=80860&page=2 The car hasn't been driven in several years, but it should be ready to hit the streets by the end of the month. I'm very excited!

the wider rims but thinner sidewall makes the gaurd gap look bigger
it would have in 38 years had the rear torsion bushings replaced, some mechanics oftern reset the tosion bars when doing this as they tend to sag over the years
cos IRS bugs dont camber out as much as swingers with weight in the back tyres often rub on the gaurds with 2 people in the back
mine even with 185/70 14" used to
pretty sure will said that thing was on LPG in a passed life in another thread

Thats a nice super you got there, there is something about S beetles that make them more apealling than L's
I hate to say it but I must really be living at the wrong end of the state when it comes to VWs 😂

Very true Joel, and actually now that my Type 3 is back on stock cheese-cutters it does look a lot lower.Joel wrote:cos IRS bugs dont camber out as much as swingers with weight in the back tyres often rub on the gaurds with 2 people in the back
