G'day guys
I havn't been on here for a long time. I just gave my 71 Superbug a facelift with new paint & interior. I've owned this car for 19 years now, the conversion has been done for over 5 years now & has clocked up 155'000ks (96'000miles). it has 204hp & 221ft torque @ the wheels on only 8 pounds boost. It takes the kids to school & also gets a floggin on the track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5oONJigD_I Hope u like the pics http://www.superbeetlesonly.com/foru...5_6_234014.jpg http://www.superbeetlesonly.com/foru...5_6_307057.jpg http://www.superbeetlesonly.com/foru...95_6_27559.jpg http://www.superbeetlesonly.com/foru...5_6_255669.jpg http://www.superbeetlesonly.com/foru...5_6_192117.jpg http://www.superbeetlesonly.com/foru...5_6_145541.jpg regards Jak

Your car has always been an inspiration and I'm glad to see it's still kicking. I love the new color and the seats look great, what are they from, RX8? Are you still on a stock tranny or has that long since died?

I found some pics that I posted on Samba many years ago of the radiator setup. I have 2 radiators in the front, one for the engine, one for the intercooler. They lay on an angle & only come to the heightof the original spare wheel well, which means I still have all of the original luggage space.

They stunning, I really like them, they alos have the holes for the race harness, which means I don[t have to swap seats for the track anymore. regards Jak

Oh , I forgot, the tranny is a single side plate unit with kombi gears inside. the first one lasted 65'000ks (40'000miles) before some stupid drag racing killed it.
I had another already built the same so it was a case of simply swapping them regards Jak

I was originally going to go with either Audi or Porsche gunmetal grey, in the end I just picked something close striaght from the painters colour chart. Much easier to match if I need to paint something else
