Thats a very nice looking car! How long did it take you to go from the magenta-seat project to the finished product? I look forward to seeing it at
the nationals

Yeah that ones off http://www.airkewld.com hey? I need an air ride kit!!!!! Lol.
Unfortunatley they are illegal in Qld and as this is my daily i dont want any trouble w those police guys. Doesnt stop me wishing tho I could slam it but then its been lowered enough now
really and any lower the suspension handles like crap, i mean.... worse than usual Nah i love this bug. Heres the steering wheel i got from the guys at Airkewld. I get zapped when i use the horn.
An THIS is my Air Conditioning.

Thanks. Sure It was installed by Jack Juni from Gold Coast Vee Dub. My
bug was the first one to get it installed there. Its had a few teething probs but all and all its brilliant. Doesn't zap the engine power much at
all. Costs around 3k to get it done but dont quote me on that. Ill post some pics of the air con/engine set up when i get Bugs back. Gone to the panel
beaters to fix the rear RHS guard as I tried to move a telegraph pole with it 2 weeks ago. Dammit. Was only minor damage (still was livid with myself
tho!!) but have to have Bugs looking his best for the Nationals
Let me know if you have anymore questions bout Aircon (Jack should be paying me for this!!! )

Great looking daily driver and love the a/c. What is the unit under the dash from as it is small and compact and would be great for under my Fasty
dash. Not knowing all the terms/names but the unit under the dash, is it the blower and condensor unit all in one? Obviously the compressor is in the
engine bay, you must have a radiator somewhere getting cool air, so the under dash stuff is all thats left of the setup?
Thanks, Andrew

I love 242HP sleepers.
How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn?
UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list. |

Ah my mechanic said that is secret squirrel... The condensor is hidden somewhere he said but thats the blower unit under the dash. The Air con
radiator is called a condenser so they are the same thing. Hes being evasive with any more info...
