I haven't seen those wheels on a VW yet, what sizes have you gone for? I wasn't particularly keen on them to start with but they are really growing on me now!

Rich, that's the main reason i have gone for them. Same reason i went for the 993 targa wheels on my bug - rather unsual on VWs! I am sick to the back teeth of seeing the same old wheels on VWs....walk round Volksworld this year and see how many sets of Fuch wheels you see!
![]() The rears are going to be 17x9 et55. Fronts are still being decided as my intial request is not an option (17x6 et52) |

Yeah that's se awesome work going on there. Loving the wheels. I'll copy those in good time thanks.
![]() My vote is for a Subaru engine and box in the back of that. Can be done for mega cheap compared to even a standard/mild type 1 engine and box build. |

Thanks guys
![]() I have a mild 2276cc to go in - somwhere around the 170bhp mark. Porsche cooling (of course) and the original box rebuilt with longer legs and a splitty nose code so i can raise the engine and gearbox a couple of inches ![]() |

Because of the extra depth, I now fear road damage to the engine. You mentioned raising the engine two inches. If I can do this, it would reduce the depth concern. Question, how difficult do you think this is going to be ? I do have mechanical skills, but not body. One member shared with me, that I will need to raise, the trans, shift tube also. I have seen above tunnel shifters. Your input please ![]() |

I have the same 3 in 1 machine, glad to know such clean lines can be done with metal working. Great stuff.

I run a raised trans for racing anyway, I do it by inclination for many reasons, briefly, it's better than a 'level' raise for my underbody Venturi effect, but it's a big subject on its own, regards BBB. |
