Wayne penrose has his sons one for sale big type4 motor all work done and documented very nice bug but expect to pay top $$ for it as alot of work went into it and no corners were cut , its on his website in for sale section, dont want a ej20t type 3 wagon just needs to be blueslipped has been engineered and was regoed for 3 yrs


tonkatuff - June 15th, 2011 at 05:02 PM

yes i have been considering going there and having a look. shame about the colour:grind:


tonkatuff - June 15th, 2011 at 05:34 PM

i think temptation might get the beter of me pending the car but alout of dough to fork out


Klaus - June 15th, 2011 at 07:32 PM

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 - June 15th, 2011 at 10:17 PM

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 - June 15th, 2011 at 10:21 PM

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...:tu:


Klaus - June 15th, 2011 at 10:31 PM

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 - June 15th, 2011 at 10:31 PM

$'s to spend?


tonkatuff - June 15th, 2011 at 10:32 PM

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 - June 15th, 2011 at 10:34 PM

holesaws could of helped the weight issue, +1 for the 1200 with sr :D easier than an ej beetle thats for sure, damn bolt in everything cconversions :tu:


tonkatuff - June 15th, 2011 at 10:38 PM

the $$$ depends on the car. coin is in the bank


tonkatuff - June 15th, 2011 at 11:01 PM

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 - June 15th, 2011 at 11:23 PM

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.
Mate i not on this thread to argue im chassin a car
cheers


Brian - June 15th, 2011 at 11:39 PM

:lol: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


matberry - June 15th, 2011 at 11:43 PM

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???

This car is Auto :crazy:

not really built with high performance in mind is it Dave .


STIDUB - June 16th, 2011 at 12:12 AM

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 - June 16th, 2011 at 12:13 AM

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 - June 16th, 2011 at 07:57 AM

This thread has been cleaned up. Please keep your negetive comments to yourself. Thanx:smilegrin:


reub - June 16th, 2011 at 02:18 PM

A mate built this for an old girfriend of his - SR20 powered...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5E4II0nntA&playnext=1&list=PLA66D14BEB52F1558

It subsequently made 530kw atw and was street driven.

His wrx has 411kw atw too :tu:


matberry - June 16th, 2011 at 08:57 PM

LOWBUG - June 16th, 2011 at 09:29 PM

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. :lol:
