ppl..thinking of getting back into rally...but not a Datsun or Gemini....but a Beetle


Could anyone steer me in the direction of a good web site on beetle's used in rally.

Aust preffered...cheers

Yeah, i'm interested in maybe doing something like that too... Any info would be helpful.

http://www.rallybugs.com/  try this adrress. it might be a starting point.

I know that "vwrallycar", races is beetle:thumb

ok ok i know i am plugging V Force

BUT

He does a couple of rally cars.
Sets them up for blokes.
I was with him in one - he lines it up drives hell stright at a gutter. Straight over it - hardly a bump felt. Back down up the street and a hand brake turn at the top with hardly and body roll.
Put some special shock in that on a sharp hit (gutter) it goeas soft but on the slow hit (hand brake) it stays hard as a rock!

Supers or standards i have seen both cars set up there.

If you are serious about setting your car up - get him to do it, or at least get the parts from him!

Here are our kids in a Super buggy they made!

Sniff! - just noticed!

Blue is in the garage. This was her last hours!!

:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry

nice to have pics...
Nice buggy....
Cant wait till my son(5) is old enough to start cuttin up his first VW!

Andrew Dodd at north rocks would be your best bet. He has built London to Sydney rally cars !!! Also Vintage Veedubs at Campsie, I think they have done some setup work on rally cars.

yeah guys i rally my beetle( see pic) at local club level.
the car is far from anything flash and still sits at standard ride height.
my 1641 is awesome for motorkhanas, khanacross and rally sprints, cause i love giving those datsuns a flogging!
im now going to a golf motor purely for more horsepower at a cheap price.
any other questions let me know
cheers
Andrew
