TEST DRIVE NO. 2 Turbo K-series Swapped VW Bug

Number 1 underated build on KZbin right now

Damn you must have North Korean Yoube because there are many many better builds going on in the world then a ratty k20 hacked bug

[@charlestorruella8591]

It's a cool build no doubt better then alot of crybabies on KZbin

[@digimon916]

Awesome build but not really. Theres a v12 miata with crazy piping and a hellcat 370z, both with less subs. Still works in progress.

[@6426yyfrgvv]

Do y’all know if a k20 swap beetle like this but with a clean body would pass inspection as a daily

[@twotut2002]

Lmfao you do look like that kid from we're the millers lol

[@adamlarson5976]

This has been one of my favorite builds to watch ! Its been along build but the fact your not a professional and we got to see it all come together along with the growth of your skill has been bad ass.

[@vwman]

Not sure if anyone said this but rear coil over / Strut looks like where the noise coming from. Keep up good work!

I'm about 5:30 in and I've sat through about 12 minutes worth of ads. I hope that makes you money.

[@psavel274]

Great episode bro. I enjoyed the beginning for real. Had me laughing my ass off. Yeah the tripot is definitely binding up seeing the whole strut and knuckle dance like it was. If you're careful you maybe able to shorten the CV and still have enough splines to bite and make it work. Itll probably be a little bit of work chamfering all the splines nicely so it slides together without too much 'persuasion.' Keep up the awesome content dude!

[@shanewright6958]

You have to take that as a win. It went down the road 👍👍🇨🇱

Hell yeah man 🤘

Man i leave the channel and check on it every 2-3 months and ur always making progress. Amazing editing, better build progress, fun vid format and u look more fresh dude Keep it up

[@Smrtazu]

Another step closer... It always seems to be the little things that eat up so much time and patience. Thanks for the update. (And yes... 1:37 ... that was a damn good joke LoL)

[@ronraygun1969]

You should have the drone stay still an drive the bug so the drone gose through the front window an out the back

[@offgridas]

You have to tape up the sensors for that Im pretty sure, or it'll try to avoid the obstacle

[@marksavin5778]

To figure out the clicking noise. Put the jack stands under the rear hubs/suspension arm so that the wheels are at the same height as when it's being driven. Then run it and use the parking brake to put a load on it and slow the rotation enough to work out where the noise is coming from. I also noticed the RH rear wheel keeps popping up like it's being flicked up. This is probably due to the outer CV binding and clicking as it releases. Also check the shiny area on the RH inner joint by the oil filter, may be nothing but given it's location.

[@Cekmore]

The HONorable MR Bug in action! Let's Goooo!👊🍻🐈🔥🌠

[@Paul_Tomlin]

You'll need to pull a cv off and cut the shaft down 10mm should be enough only problem doing that you'll cut off the circlip groove but that could be put back in via a 1mm disk and some precision 1milling.

[@Slopestarr]

Getting better every time!

[@craigdry9522]

So one day leaving with my 89 Honda Accord, I hit the gas and the drive shaft broke for this very same issue. Watching the bearings roll down the street beside the car. Luckily the shop was close and had enough momentum to park it infront of one of their bay doors. Crazy But I really miss that car. 5 speed P.O.S. But the engine was on point .

[@renz1013]

me seeing some rich you tuber's car going 100kph sideways with there expensive build: eh... Me seeing garage idiot's junk car turned into a good car finally run: OH YEAH!

[@rd95stang]

I like the part when you said you look like Sid from toy story 😂

[@MrJermbob]

thats so got to be that axle on that side. love from new zealand. keep it up.

[@johanhammarstedt5596]

The bug is the car that got me into the channel, I have a -72 bug, and I have always wanted to do something similar but with an audi turbo engine, mostly for the sound🤪 Keep it up 👍 greetings from sweden👋

[@every1likesr20mike]

Dude if I was rich I'd send you some coin ... Love the bug and the possibility of what it could be.

[@jamescunliffe9872]

Are the cv joints exceeding the operating angle or is it the length of the shaft, splined interface? Suspension path of travel could also be a factor:)

[@jonatesrides]

This build is going to blow people's minds when it gets out there! I dare say if Sema is going on this year it should go

[@adamburton919]

Great looking project! I just started watching this Canadian guy Ecrn Garage, he's a bit rough but does some cool stuff. Cheers!

You can tell you put some effort into this video. Good work man

[@marksmith0209]

Can’t wait to see you get it to PFI! PRESTONE YOU DID IT BUG IS A NICE

[@paulwilliams7816]

I'm thinking the same thing for the drive shaft. Going to be hard to find out what type it is but you'll get it in the end and I found the jokes funny

[@BradGryphonn]

Last comment: It is great to see the Bug rolling under its own power. It looks fat (see what I did there?).

[@latinoclint]

Remind me again what that metal bar thingy is in the rear window please

@@Luminaring true

[@mobiousenigma]

your right that clicking is frustrating...is the shaft too long? ,, its been a while since i went through a vw shop manual and i dont remember if the geometry is the same on both sides and i have a funny feeling the engine was offset passenger side ...is the transaxel centered to the frame or wheels ? loved the lack of moaning and groaning and that you figured out it was your channel and its up to you to decide what to upload ;] ...good natured fun is all fine and dandy but do the other up loaders need your opinion on there efforts ? are you prepared to endure theres on yours? ... just some thoughts and opinions from someone else unimportant who is taking time to thank you for the videos.

[@Shittytintprius]

“That was a good joke” it was😂😂

[@scottyskydog]

What is the flat bar stock in the rear window for?

[@darrenswails]

I'd imagine it is for extra rigidity since there is no front and rear windows, plus he widened it about 4" so may be a leftover brace...

[@efbuddies7839]

Did no one else notice the fact that the entire strut was moving up and down as if it’s not bolted to the shock tower while they were checking for the noise on jack stands and it wasn’t mentioned...

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Yes that’s why we think the axle is binding. It was compressing the shock not moving the whole thing out of place

[@efbuddies7839]

@@GARAGEIdiotS I’ll have to have a second look, that for sure looked like the entire shock assembly was moving up and down. Check the bushings on the top hat of the strut. May be bolted but have play where the top hat mounts to the strut.

[@efbuddies7839]

@@GARAGEIdiotS after a second closer look I see what you’re saying now, also you mentioned something about cutting the axle at the splines hoping it will seat further in, if the cup is bottomed out on the half shaft and also on the hub side cutting isn’t going to help. It’s in as far as it’s going to go, just too long of an axle shaft. Good luck and keep at it been watching since the beginning.
