yeah this is the beetle with a 1.8 GTI engine, that i bought off FROG, goes very well for a stock engine.
this is only local club racing but we race against quite a variety of cars. finished 6th outright from a field of 19, was doing better but suffered
from some driver error. the car/engine combination is very good ( i find ), just need more of a budget and i think i could do a lot better. But the
main thing is i have fun with what i do and what i have

yeah it did lower the rear a little, but i raised the rear and put in type 3 torsion bars.
from all the info i could find i think from memory the golf engine was about 20lbs heavier than the type 1 setup

I have been for a race in this car and it is pretty quick (would be better with subaru).:P
1st race I had in the car, it tied first with the QLD clubman series No. 2.
Andrew constantly races against people with lots more money and time to work on their cars, and still is always 'up there' in his times
I have also heard every excuse, as to why they got beaten by a VW beetle!!!!!
