Not much has actually happened. Jesse and I are trying to get a Super beetle ready for paint (Jesse's Inlaws car...no slammy slammy). I need to save some coin for a new fuel cell because the Dune Buggy tank I currently have gives me headaches. So I have a 16 gallon foam filled cell in mind, just need to get the funds for that. Once the gas fumes aren't an issue, driving the car will be waaaaay more enjoyable!
I'm also saving for an air to water Intercooler. When that happens, I can get a boost regulator and turn up the boost!
As mentioned earlier in this build, the car squats hard! I am looking into some QA1 shocks for the rear and possibly some bigger torsions. As well I have to figure out a bump stop thing. When the car gets into boost, it just drops the rear down...not even hard driving, just gentle boost still puts it down. Needless to say with the combination of the squatting and the fuel tank, I haven't really driven it hard.
I have made friends, and myself, giggle like little children when I put the peddle down and that is a glorious feeling!
I will be pulling the engine soon and brace the rear end... Also thinking of making a half cage.
Heres some photos that I took earlier in the summer. When work on the car starts up again, I will post the updates as it happens! Also, the Stinger is not going to be on the car this year.
Cheers!
