Rosslyn: Aircooled Flatwindow

Possible pointing out the obvious, but jacked up the car when trying? Otherwise there's way to much tension on those screws..

Been there, done that haha. My set-up at the moment:

THOSE WHEELS! I've always wanted like a fuch style wheel but all gloss back with porsche cap centers.


Yea I jacked it up. I think I may have fixed the problem.

I tried to lower the front end the other day to give it some rake but the nut you back off to turn the adjuster screw or whatever is on there ridiculously tight. Its not rusted on there or anything. Anybody have any smart ideas?


Also. Might be getting some cheap original low back seats.

So these are the plans for the bug this year:


Standoffs and spring extension:


Go another click in the rear and adjust the front to have a stance about like this:


Raise the exhaust flange so it isnt so close to the ground:


Finish the trunk and complete wiring:


Widened Rear Wheels:


That is all I can think of for now. Maybe Clear coat my wheels.


It's nice to finally get to drive it after all the snow and ice:

So heres what I want.

I want to go one more click in the rear which is another 2" and level out by adjusting the front.

Put me in this ball park just without rake:




BUT, my problem is my exhaust. The headers hang down to low for comfort and the flange that attaches the stinger is even lower.

My options are to custom route the header piping to end up being higher off the ground at the flange. (So a raised exhaust basically)

OR

Get a new exhaust thats a single tip that has a muffler that sits up in behind the rear apron. Problem with that option is that i **** single tip exhausts and i don't want to get a new clip that has 2 cutouts for exhaust tips. I also don't want to cut another exit in my current apron.

Plus I really like the sound of my header/stinger without a baffle in. Loud and obnoxious.

And just for the heck of it, my dream bug:
