    What's your "sell it now" price?

    This was my approach in 2018 when getting into a CTSV was heavy on my mind. The spyder had just gotten to be too impractical and too "race car-y" for me to really enjoy on the street anymore. For the turnkey 500whp awd spyder I put a 10,000$ tag on it. Absolutely no interest. I ultimately had to...

    4g 71 super beetle

    Its been quite a long time since there has been any significant changes with the car. Heres a quick rundown on the last year.* In December of '21 the car was still fighting some fueling issues that couldnt for the life of me figure out. But the car did run and was able to move under its own...

    2G I need some advice on turbo replacement

    If the turbo that is currently on the car is stock you arent going to be able to just slap on that turbo. T3 refers to the flange size/style. There is definitely more to it. Youll have to think about turbo oil feed as well as a drain. Plus the exhaust downpipe will have to be purchased or...

    Well, i took care of my voltage issue. Im fighting some fuel trim issues now. Might be due to a bad wideband sensor. Ill have to get a new one and see how/if it helps. For now, just out here catchin some rays!

    4g 71 super beetle

    Couple small changes since last time. I decided i didnt like the placement of the intercooler. So, i ditched it. In doing so i decided to move the radiator to the rear and mount the fuel tank over the rear end. The pvc is for mock up purposes(for the most part 😂) i have to weld up my fuel fill...

    He nailed it. You likely arent going to be spoon fed here. A few key words in the search bar will net far more threads than the replies you will get. Now, just throwing in some larger injectors will probably get you further from your goals as youll need some way to accommodate for the extra...

    So a bit of an update here. I did some body work to the front fender and got all four clear coated, ordered some rear wheels and tires, and Wired the car. As it sits right now im waiting for my map sensor to come in and i can adjust the fuel pressure and fire it up. Hopefully everything works as...

    420A Where does this nut go?

    Bingo. There should be 5 studs coming up from the trans and the long bolt with a nut going through the mount off the framerail.edit: im sorry i didnt realize you mentioned it was a 420a car. Still could be the case though.

    Resolved 1g No start from hell

    Plug wires in the correct order? If you unplug the MAF sensor does the car start? That should put it into a limp mode.

    4g 71 super beetle

    id looked into it a few times and turned away every time. I didnt really want to modify the block or head to redirect coolant flow like you have to do, id still have to run an inline thermostat housing. I really just wanted everything to function as close to stock as possible so i knew that it...

    4g 71 super beetle

    Since last time theres been some mall but significant progress! I got the swing out door bars done and the last two bars to connect the four link brackets to the frame. I picked up some 1 1/4” schedule 10 exhaust pipe from Mr Peepers so i could start building my manifold. Id love to have one of...

    4g 71 super beetle

    this can go one of the two ways ive pondered about it. I could make a complete 3” exhaust out the rear of the vehicle. It would run between the passenger side of the trans and frame. Or what i will 90% most likely be doing is just going with a sode exit out of the factory fuel fill doormon the...

    Manifold for my rwd Bug.

    I havent decided yet. I might go with some kind of ceramic coating. Depends on funds! My budget is getting quite thin and i have some more high dollar things to buy yet!

    Manifold for my rwd Bug.

    Got working on the manifold the last couple days! Constructive criticism welcome. Being such a tight space makes it quite difficult but i think im getting it. Ill possible have to move the upper control arm if/when i need to remove the manifold.

    Manifold for my rwd Bug.

    Well, upon getting my piping for the manifold (thanks Peepers!!) i found that even if i were to oval the pipes i would still have a slight gap at my joints. I didnt like that. So i made a new flange, this time out of mild steel. I feel this will work a lot better. I still plan to port the head...

    While this whole car is a candidate for this page i thought id at least put this part here. Last week i found some 1/2” stainless.

    HP range for a Daily driver?

    I used to daily my awd spider at a 500who range. I was doable but got to be less fun than when I was still on a single disc clutch in 450-475 range. I was still on a stock 7 bolt. Being in a slight light 2wd truck would probably be a fun handful at that level. I was also seeing about 16-18mpg on...
