indeed i do, some old, some newish. its lying around waiting for love atm.....lots of love.

twas my daily for about 6 years. sry bout the size of some of the old ones....digital cameras aye.....lol

Cheers man :)

I'm looking around at the moment to try and find another one. I've had two in the past, and want to get back into them! If I get an older one like yours (pre super basically) it's going to be a factory style resto, but if I get a superbug or an L I'm going to hot it up a bit.

What's going on here?

Is that just some single-pegger love? Or have you got some fancy pants running gear in there?

you mean like this?? its a '68 so still pre superbug (fat nosed uglyness), and my better halfs daily driver. nice little car. very quiet and smooth for an old beetle.

mine on the other hand has a bit of work done underneath. upgraded brakes, Koni's, 1916cc engine, rebuilt late swing axle box with taller gears, solid mounts, and a whole lot of exhaust noise....it chirps more gears than my skyline does....and chews tyres faster. :thumbsup:

and this is my little brothers. much angrier than mine, fully restored underneath, 4 wheel discs, big money spent on the box and engine. 2180 strocker, dropped spindles and to top it all off its an oval :rolleyes: '56 model. all mods have been done without damage to the original body.

he's getting it ready for a road worthy so he can sell it, as hes now a dad and needs a more practical vehicle. i think he's after 8-9 grand for it. (well worth it...but alot for a beetle)

I know how much they're worth/sell for. And how hard Ovals can be to find... so whilst I am a bit of a nutter, I'm just not a jew nutter :P

I am a cheapskate though, and don't want to pay much for one... but that's more because I want to do the work myself rather than pay for someone else to have already done it. I just want one in good enough condition to drive as a daily so I can piss the Skyline off and slowly do up the bug over time.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
