dear god...

btw, get some serious downforce on that thing! they are so twitchy at speed.
Wayne penrose did one up with a turbo intercooled T4 aircooler in one for customer, it was nuts.

WWWOOOOOOOWWWWW!!! patient number 1 aka AUSGOLFER please step forward!!!was thinking ,oohh no not a aircooled but then your psycotic mind said a3 1.8t!! STRAIGHT TO THE PADDED ROOM!! best of luck mate,,great idea

[ausgolfer]

yes crazy I know.
and yes would be very twitchy with a high power rear mount motor, wheel standing all over the place. Thats why I think cutting out the rear seat area and mid mounting the motor will give it a better balance, handling etc.
Will be fabricating up my own chassis aswell, which will be stronger than any old beetle floorpan.

They're mainly so twitchy because of the length of them and the weight factor.

We have a buggy we race karnacross and motokarna in, its a shortened beetle floor pan, hauls arse.

Carl, you know im helping you build this monster!!

[ausgolfer]

Yes I know Think I'll use those brembos you gave me on the front

[BlackVr6ix]

sounds like a plan, only problem would be handbrake on the rear. but theres plenty of time to work that out! hahaha

[ausgolfer]

yes I know, I'm thinking about having a caliper just for the handbrake on the rear, supercar style....

[BlackVr6ix]

On one of the clubmans i built in 2002, we used a single caliper on one wheel as the handbrake hahaha
