Ecotec in Bug, rough mockup pics...

Just to give anyone who is interested an idea of how big the Eco is, and how it fits in a Beetle engine bay.

Nice pictures. That doesn't look like a bad fit, but it would be tough to fit a deck lid around it. Comes really far into the rear apron.

Even if it was IRS, I doubt it would move forward very much.

You sure we can't convert you to Subaru? Looks like a huge wing or big standoffs is the only way it'll get close to fitting...

Ahhh, but it will be IRS...

Sorry Rich, I wanna see this Eco thing through. It's too long, and too tall, but I think I can get around these challenges and still build something nice. I've got some ideas but a whole lot of time yet before I can start to put them together.

Hmmz is that the same Ecotecs that is in the later GSI of Opel (Fauxhall)?? Because they don't have an good name over here. The older 2 litres (with cosworth heads) makes more power.
