Old Bugs are also RWD Sang...sorry to break it to ya.

 

And where's the engine? Think about it. Then I'll allow you the chance to ridicule yourself for the shortsightedness. Conquest = front engine. Bug = ???.

 

OOOO OOO I KNOW THIS ONE!!! lol REAR ENGINE!! w00t, and i dont even know v-dubs haha

 

No **** Sherlock, thanks for the info Beavis! When you were eluding to the fact that "Second, TSi=RWD" sounded like you were making the bug out to be FWD. Bad wording in there Sang.

 

Think about a regular front engine and rear wheel driveline then think of the bug's engine location. How would I have to mount it to make it work? SHEESH

Drop any engine swapping ideas. Not gonna happen since the car has a good running engine as is.

 

Lockdown, lockdown!

 

We wouldn't HAVE this problem if people weren't so damn insistant on swapping engines for no reason.

 

The shtock45hp engine will suit u fine till you have to go uphill.

 

Yes a STOCK one would. This is no longer stock though. Not a whole lot has been done but it DOES have exhaust headers and a more aggressive cam in it. Besides there aren't many hills here in VA. Not where I am at least. I'm also looking at getting another engine to build up a bit and have as a spare if I should need to swap engines.

It will be the SAME engine though. The 1600cc flat 4. So stop the engine swap BS before you even start it. I actually rather like the air cooled flat 4's. And I REALLY don't feel like all the fabrication and alteration work on a car that has an unstable suspension at best. The Super Beetle was unfit for Rally due to the McPherson suspension that replaced the torsion bar setup of a standard bug. I'll be getting a strut bar though that's for sure. That should tighten up and stiffen the front suspension hopefully.

 

It's a good german car and a nice find.STOCK ispronounced shtock ;~)
