Not yet. But this isn't a daily either so i'm not passing the police all the time. Its more of an issue at night as there is little light on the plate.

Looking good mate

[jazzcat]

your car is inspiration for my kids ride

[knownaschubs]

what are the size n widths on your bbs's? also how do you like the 2.0 turbo? i've been really debating between getting the neuspeed SC, Turbo, or VR6 swap. everyone says get a turbo, or even just swap the 1.8t but i want to seperate myself among the usual crowd. plus, i want a car that sinks you in your seat off the line (not a fan of the lag with turbo's). I've been in love with your bug ever since you were featured on the hella flush website.

The BBS' are 17"x9.5" all around. The 2.0T has been great. Its a learning experience and requires a little more "upkeep" then a standard 2.0 but I have enjoyed it. My personally opinion would be to go for the VR6. It will give you the low end torque that you seem to be looking for, and you can always turbo the VR down the line.

The Beetle is up for sale if anyone is interested. I am currently compiling a list of all the mods/ extras. Time to move on.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo

[bugasm99]

Its going to happen. I really don't have the time to take care of it as I should, and have other priorities. Plus I have an A4 to work on now.

[BEETLETHIS]

Well man we hate to see you go but best of luck to you.... just keep in touch with us.... also can't wait to see what you want and maybe selling anything or part out...

[Wingnut_rb]

If you're still around, mind telling me the final offset you were running on the BBS's? And how much room did you have between the suspension and the wheels?

[bugasm99]

Sorry everyone, I didn't realize this account was linked to a dead email address so i didn't get any of the notifications.

Beetlethis ~ I keep going back and forth on the sale. After a couple people fell through, I decided to turn it into my track car ... but i'll still entertain offers.

Wingnut ~ Final offset was et22 and et17 front and rear.

Here is a recent shot as it stands right now.

[bugasm99]

New path for the beetle. Pretty sure the turbo is coming off, and a high compression 2.0 on ITB's will be built running on stand alone. Should fit better with the track duties.

Whats up Josh glad your keeping it

[Opelmania]

Just a gorgeous car! Thanks for the inspiration on the headlight mod and Al for suggesting it. Glad to see you still have it and keep changing it up.

[bugasm99]

Thanks bash. Keeping the car but it looks like im taking a 180*. I have a feeling it will take a beating once it is on track.

[AbuNigel]

god forbid you trade your hood, front, and rear bumpers for stock + a little cash so you don't feel bad about thrashing it on the track.

THAT WOULD BE MY WORST NIGHTMARE

[bugasm99]

I have all those items hanging out in my "beetle graveyard" I'll decide what to do when I cross that bridge.
