Hog Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Here is pic of my old car. I had it for 2 years and went through 3 engines. Its best engine was a 1650cc skimmed. It had crazy acceleration but a top speed of 70 mph lol. The tyres were very wide, porsche spoiler, full body kit and 4 exhaust pipes lol.The car next to it was my first ever car. A green Fiesta which was a van but I installed windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest b-bert Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 you should have put a porsche engine in the back. its a commonly done upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mog Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I used to have a red beach buggy beetle - had a 1641cc engine hanging out the back and big wide sand/snow tires on the back. it was cool, I'll see if I can find a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Foundation Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 you should have put a porsche engine in the back. its a commonly done upgrade.Everyone says that, but I think it's fairly hard to do (assuming we're talking about the aircooled flat-six from the 80's 911). There's not really the space unless you do fairly drastic bodymods...better with one of the big bore beetle kits - I heard there's a company in the states making 2600cc type 1 motors now! Or a turbo. I've seen intercoolers mounted on top of the engine cover before...The porker motor fits in a Karmann Ghia though...Nice bug though Hog. One of my mates used to have something similar - Could beat a Golf VR6 at the lights, but topped out around 70 too, untill he fitted huge twin-choke carbs...then it was nearer 95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'd love a beetle. So much more interesting than a fucking mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'd love a beetle. So much more interesting than a fucking mini.Very true, especially the new Mini which seems to be driven mostly by ladies in their mid twenties who are clarted with make-up.
