^what he said! Hopefully your setup comes out much lighter than the jag's. I test drove a 2004 3.0 5spd manual sport. It felt about as fast as my SE with headers/exhaust.

The whole setup will only be about 150 pounds more than it was in 2wd trim. That will put the weight of the car and driver at less than 3000 pounds.

There's nothing new to show. I'll post pics of new progress as soon as it's made. Right now I have til the end of the month to make a rusty alfa romeo shine bright, and install a roll cage in a beetle. Those two things are going to require a lot of work.

Ive seen some people make some pretty scary power on those air cooled VW engines. They lika da boost

 

[boumacj]

Goumba, what does it cost to put in a full roll cage? I'm not doing one, I'm just curious.

 

[Goumba]

For a mild steel cage, it's $150 per point. Most cages have at least six points. These are not typical bolt in cages. These are built to a specific rule book.

Give me an old-school Beetle any day, rip out the back seat, and use the space to drop in a 911 turbo engine. THAT will go like stink! :drool:

By the way. The beetle is a 98. I thought that I was going to b working on an older beetle until I got to the customers house.
