Really cool vehicle -- the concept, design, and construction -- all top notch. I love the look of the tires, too. I was hoping to use something like those M/T's on the front of a vehicle, also, but Summit advised against it. They said those were for the rear only and recommended something more heavily treaded. I'm glad to see they work on the front.

What makes it look so badass is the wide drag radials on all four corners and the front body panels. The only thing is change if it was mine is id put a turbo Suzuki hyabusa 1350cc engine. Stock the motor makes about 190hp but once you put it on something like the street rail you can get cold air intake which alone would get you to a little over 200hp. With the mods id do which are cold air intake, titanium headers and exhaust (cut to work with the buggy) power commander 7 (or whatever is the newest) vortex velocity stacks, bigger injectors, higher flow fuel pump, and a larger radiator. That would make with a good tune about 230+hp to the wheel. Then after all that id run a t66 turbo which should take it from 230hp to 400hp and have a high rpm and higher rev limiter . OH YEAH!!!! I ALMOST FORGOT THE BEST PART...THE EXHAUST SOUND.LOL THANKS for reading this and have a great day

pretty sure you can get transverse boxes to work with the lima/pinto. that would improve handling a lot, turning it into a mid engine, rear bias, with smth like 65r-35f instead of a rear engine rear bias with 75+r 25f like it is.

Hello, i got a few questions. what wheel bearings are you running, specs? and what wheel bearing conversion kit are you using? and what brake kit are you using? Other than that, really cool build, love the way it looks!!! Currently I'm in the midst of building a street rail that had a vw drivetrain, and i am swapping it out with a 500hp 385 stoker Chevrolet mated to a 986 Boxster 5 speed transaxle. at the moment, trying to come up with a solution for my drive train, such as choosing my axle, wheel bearing, and brake setup. so yeah, lmk. Cool Build!!!!

Something don't add up with your power output numbers...with your current setup you should see north of 200 hp and well over that in torque. I've been wanting to build a turbo coupe beetle for a while now and I'm really familiar with the engine. I know just by swapping that engine and trans into a short wheel base ranger and using 3.73 gears it will consistently run in the 12's in stock form .

@@ItsDaJax I am fully sure they do. That's where I'm getting mine from. 😉 It's what got me looking up to see if any one has put a 2.3 turbo in a beetle. But now that I've seen his camber set up and lengthened swing arms I will make it happen on my own. I think it will give better handling along with the wide wheels and short over long arm front suspension.....I want this thing to look like it's ready for laps on the Nuremberg ring. 😈
