tonkatuff ·
yes i have been considering going there and having a look. shame about the colour😬
tonkatuff ·
i think temptation might get the beter of me pending the car but alout of dough to fork out
Klaus ·
build your own , you will be hard pressed to find a car you 100% like.
the way I'd do it if I didnt have the time to build my own is buy the best cond regoed bug in the year i wanted then bolt all the good gear on , that way you get brakes gearbox n engine how you want it . money for decent parts adds up quick gotta be realistic.
tonkatuff ·
they are a bottemless pitt doing it yourself........... done a few projects myself. . . . . being beaten by a vw beetle whilst driving a 200sx with quite a few mods is enough to make a convert out of me. hence the reason "I wan't one"
STIDUB ·
s14 or s15? u could sell one of those for enough money to get a tidy bug but i hope its not for daily driver usage, keen to see what comes of this anyway...👍
Klaus ·
you just need a lighter car a bug weighs well under a ton not like your porky datsun 🙂 , stuff your motor into a 1200 ute or better still a 1000 if you can find one
reub ·
$'s to spend?
tonkatuff ·
s15 specS GT. loved it 248rwkw. yeah it is gone now bloke i sold it to pranged it in the first week into a gutter.
STIDUB ·
holesaws could of helped the weight issue, +1 for the 1200 with sr 😀 easier than an ej beetle thats for sure, damn bolt in everything cconversions 👍
tonkatuff ·
the $$$ depends on the car. coin is in the bank
tonkatuff ·
sr20det are one of the best to modify they are 188kw factory standard mate look in to em not hard to crack over 300kwaw.but am not here for a dick measuring contest. i am after a fast car if anyone has one please advise
tonkatuff ·
sold with the car mate so sorry no facts on my end here. from stock an exhaust intercooler and a chip will crack over the 200mark put a suited turbo in place of the factory turbo and your about there.

😂Hey Dave
even a 1/2 worn out WRX engine with the boost cranked up makes 225kw at the wheels of a certain Notchback
and its not a great engine
all the info is out ther look it up yourself
end of conversation

Come on DOKA Dave. Give him a break. I have a mate with a Rex engine in his yet to get on the road beetle with a proposed 500+ rwhp......The fact is he wants a beetle that kicks ricer butt.
A good move I reckon.
I have built enough volksies that can out run many V8's on the street, that part is easy, finding a complete car that you like is another story.
What about that hot 54 that was advertised here a while back? Someone will know it, or do a search, VERY nice car for around 20k, or Debassy(sp) turbo from Adelaide???

not really built with high performance in mind is it Dave .
STIDUB ·
doka, look a little harder next time, mates s13 drifter pushes 240 comfortably, no big $$$ spent, just backyard stuff, bolt ons, head scratching & research. dont under estimate the power of a milk bottle 🙂
STIDUB ·
and the nm's for good measure
graphs split in half because of retarded uploader size limits, barely fits in 2 parts.
is that enough to satisfy the alleged false claims of output?
MickH ·
This thread has been cleaned up. Please keep your negetive comments to yourself. Thanx😁
reub ·
A mate built this for an old girfriend of his - SR20 powered...
It subsequently made 530kw atw and was street driven.
His wrx has 411kw atw too 👍

My posts were removed for being 'negative' after I questioned some highly optomistic claims and ascertians about power output of a certain new forum members vehicle. I was not contacted by the moderators explaining any of this, nor has MickH replied my pm's or emails.
I provided 3 links to the relevant forums and other sites backing up my statements with factual evidence and dyno graphs, showing the amount of modifications needed, and expense involved, (by the guys who are actually building these cars) to even get close to these figures disputed by myself, and the dreamers who decided to challenge what I said. (Not many people seem to give a f#*k about actual facts on this site, they prefer to make outrageous claims which almost always start with 'my mate did this etc..)
So from now on I won't be wasting any more time trying to help out other VW guys or engage in VW discussions on here. My life's too short to have these protracted debates with people I've never even met. I'll go back to the shed and spend more time working on cars, and leave the bullshi#*ers and dreamers to crap on to each other. So feel free to make as many unsubstantiated comments as you like, I don't give a flying f#*k anymore. 😂

Hi folks,
For buying and selling threads, please keep it on topic as to the items for sale, like "How much?" "would you consider..." "does it have?" "can you ship it". All the other off topic discussion makes it hard to understand if the item has sold or not.
If you want to have a discussion about the relative merits of this engine or another, take them to Engine Conversions or Tech or Bad Attitude if it's about 1916s.
thanks,
Andrew

Thats right Dave,your post were removed by me, as requested by the person who started this thread. Your "discussion" was off topic and arguementative and in no way related to the origins of the post. As for "PM's and emails"......i have not replied as i have recieved NONE from you. If I had I would have replied...🤓
STIDUB ·
...what about the facts in clear view i posted up? got pics vids, bum in seat fun to back up the figures 👍
will be back out at qld raceway reeeeaaally soon with it too 😁
tonkatuff ·
have been trying to get hold of member "Fat-Attack" who aparently has one for sale. or "OMClarke" but don't think any of my PM's are going through if anyone knows them please get him to contact me in regards to his car if possible.
thanks for the help

Hey mate sorry haven't been on in yonks!
I think at this point he's decided to keep the car. However, I can fill you in if he changes his mind!
If you don't mind me asking, why don't you build your own? You'll get the car you want and the satisfaction of knowing that it's your baby
