993 multilink rear suspension with 6 speed G50

Yeah, it's really easy to spend mucho dinero when it all needs to be "custom"!

I was planning on the C4 setup but the C2 is a far better track car (and funner aka over steer) and that is what this car is going to be used for. With 500 hp, 6 speeds, C2 suspension, and the most rediculous brakes ever put on a beetle, (Lanner is having a hard time finding a master big enough to push enough fluid to 24 pistons) this little beetle should'nt have any problems on the track. I imagine the car will be around 1900 lbs when i'm finished. Who knows, I might change my mind again tommorow. I think that's why this is getting so expensive :whoops: .

By the way Volkdent, I never understood how anyone could spend so much money on "just metal and bolts" until I started down the custom path.

My only concern is getting the angles right for the macpherson struts front and rear, I'll do my homework.

I've spent my life savings on this car when I was planning on using it to go to racing school.

This'll be one hell of a car when i'm done though. Porsche's handleing, VW's weight advantage and nimbleness and my heavy foot will be a lot of fun (I hope I don't have to make use of the roll cage)!

Have a word with Mike Ghia and Marco Mansi. Mike is planning to use this set-up and Marco was initially, he changed his mind as the suspension got in the way of the exhaust manifold (wasser) once it was narrowed to fit...

I'm not worried about it getting in the way of exhaust because i'm using an inline 4.
