Ecotec Vw buggy

[@olsonspeed]

Very clean, well engineered buggy. Thanks!

Great looking buggy. What brand are those rims? I would love to run that setup on my dune buggy.

[@jeffebinger1218]

Another fine walk around.

Nice. Did you do the stand alone harness yourself? Do you have any resources on cutting the harness for stand alone?

[@lee30173]

I got my harness and computer from Alpha Fab Industries. Plug and play!

That is one sweet buggy. Love the way you did the side bars on the cage and also tied the rear bumper in with some support. One question, are those race trim UTV seats or a different brand? How do you like them?

[@lee30173]

yes those are race trim slim buggy seats. I have no complaints they fit well and sit good.

[@londel1767]

very nice build

Nice. Where is the radiator?

[@lee30173]

It is behind the back seat with electric fans. Jeep Cherokee radiator.

I noticed that the main cage on this buggy and the blue one you build look similar, as far as the main hoops. Did you use a Berrien buggy cage kit for the main hoops, or is it all custom bent ? The cage is one of the best I have seen, I love how it wraps around in the front and makes a mounting point for the drive by wire throttle.

[@lee30173]

I built both cages from scratch. The red buggy also has a two inch body lift.

[@MattLundquistVW]

+lee30173 OK looks so good, did not even notice the 2" body lift. Had to go back and look at it again. How do you like the ecotec?and is that a bus trans? Cost wise is it better than a mild vw, obviously less maintenance in the long run. Sorry for all the questions, just planning a buggy build after I get done with my bug.

[@lee30173]

Yes it has a 6 rib bus trans. No complaints plenty of reliable power!
