Simplified, it’s pretty much product lines..type 1 is beetle/this, type 4 is mostly late bus.

Ghia has a bit more space to work with in the engine compartment over the type 1 too. There was one that ran in the “renn kafer cup” class at some of the shows...I want to say it was doing 10's in the quarter mile, and he finally moved to straight drag racing instead of the show/go class and went even faster. (Mike…

More power is available reasonably easily, though it costs. Most, if not all, of the hop up stuff for beetles is equally applicable to ghias, and the significant displacement changes are possible (up to ~2.3L is doable in the type 1 blocks, up to 2.6 in type 4), with not a lot of weight to move.

Well, there’s a hellcat swap out there..

At least for $600, expectations are low. This, though..ND isn’t even sufficient...it’s full on CP. I don’t want to think what getting glass for this will cost...and actually finding other parts..

good catch. that other article shows this as $5500, probably the same ad. that said, the ad linked here is deleted by the author, and the “click here if it’s gone” isn’t a link. here’s the screenshot from the other article:

one more vote to DO IT. it’s not sporty, but it’s that perfect 90's japanese blend of simplicity and competence and reliability that it’ll last forever. if it were closer, i’d probably grab that and send our accord down the road.

seconded.

the one in my super even still works sometimes...sometimes you have to wiggle it around for it to wake up though.

not the Mac, but i swear i saw my life flash before my eyes wrestling a mattress in the wind on the Bridge of the Gods...

i don’t know where “here” is, but there’s definitely a sizable contingent around my area that have been modified to sound like ass too.

counterpoint: the VQ in the Nissan Z cars and their infiniti siblings. yes, i know exhaust is a big part of that, but it’s not nails on a chalkboard.

and almost get rear-ended because the one behind you just hears engine and jumps.

touché.

Hell, i’ll be the one to say it....it’s “San Luis Obispo”, not “San Louis Obispo”.

on a side note: having sat in a couple at the dealer/shows, i was surprised and impressed that as big as that wing is on the current CTR? it didn’t intrude on the rear view AT ALL. basically invisible from the driver’s seat.

and if you have a car new enough to not have to smog (first 5 or 6 years, i forget which), you get to avoid paying the smog certificate fee....except...instead they charge you a “smog abatement fee” for...i’m not sure what.

There are adapters for a few vehicles (Tacoma comes to mind) that go inline with the mirror harness and provide power for a camera

i just can’t get into racing on tv.

None of my vehicles was blessed with a cabin filter. 2 of them don’t have ac, and the bike doesn’t have windows to roll up
