Craig Torrens - March 19th, 2010 at 11:28 AM

factory IRS (76 bugs come with IRS), with T3 torsion bars and urethane bushes,KYB silver shocks, 5 Bar K BAR kit, gearbox straps. It has beetle CV's with standard axles, although these will be updated soon to Kombi CV's and stronger axles.


bugzla - March 19th, 2010 at 02:06 PM

thanks mate


Bizarre - March 19th, 2010 at 07:56 PM

So what time you reckon the rag would do???


Craig Torrens - March 19th, 2010 at 08:03 PM

Well its virtually the same motor specs (7hp difference), but the rag is a lot heaver with all the "doof doof" stuff and has a standard ratio gbox. I reckon probably high 13's or a low 14. Once I get this car soughted out with new rear tyres etc then I will take the Ragtop down the 1/4 as well. ;)

13bwagon - March 21st, 2010 at 06:12 PM

great stuff is that just a twin plug 1916 ??
any sc on there yet??
bloodly look great


humpty - March 21st, 2010 at 11:08 PM

Not too shabby Craig.... Looks like a bit of wheel spin off the line.... Losing time there.... Tough to control with the red mist comes over.... But I'm sure you know that better than most!!.... What ratios you have in that puppy?.... Have the torque to pull taller tyres?.... You giving up going around corners?

Whats next?


vdubrod - March 22nd, 2010 at 08:44 AM
