LOVE IT.... I'm with daddy
if you want a bigger one then you should put a Coil and a Spark plug in the tailpipe and hook it up you would get a HUGE flame lol

Love all your reactions!

Found a vid of a very fast dutch street-legal dragracer with an Opel Speedster, which I ran 'against' earlier this year. He runs with slicks in unlimited class. I am in a A/Street/Legal which require road legal threaded tires.

In the run of this vid got a little too much smoke from the burn-out....opened the roof, but 'your not allowed to run with open roof'... I know dude, but can't you see the smoke thats blinding me? Maybe thats not safe to run with either huh?
He had to laugh about it then as well fortunately

Its a semi-slick street/trackday tire in 245/35/18 size: Bridgestone SP Super Sport race, threadwear 60 (!), I really like them but they don't make those anymore.

Xellex: sorry, can't help you there..

Something to handle the upgraded power a bit better (I hope) through the corners: 944 M030 25.5mm torsion bars:

Wally, nice job!

I hope those 25.5s will be OK, because I also bought them for my project. I guess, I'm waiting for the update about how they changed Your Bug, meaning driving feeling!

Regarding Your performance, those numbers looks serious. I believe most of us trust Your opinion on turbocharged Type 4 engine subject (I do, because I don't know anybody else who made engine "from schratch" with totaly simple parts, plus modern tehnology like FI and Turbo to get serious numbers). I'm wondering only one thing:

Considering Your today's knowledge, experience and abilities, how much Your engine costs? Roughly. Is it 3000 euros, 5000 euros, or what? I really trust You on this one, because I was thinking about STI (sorry people) because it costs me 2500 euros, has 300 HP and 350+ Nm.

Thank You!
