hiya...ive got a superbeetle! wicked arent they!! i bought mine just after it had been restored and modified! the old block was bored out to a 1776cc, with twin carbs whacked on for good measure! gave it a gorgeous induction roar! what kind of mods are u thinking of doing? styling or performance?

Hi...i havent got a superbeetle, but have an oval! Just had a 2.0 put in, and it goes like a rocket! I reckon that for your super beetle...the euro look would suit it (colourcoded bumpers, Porsche wheels, lowered, big engine, tinted lenses etc...and race interior)!
Does anyone know of any good clubs in california for going out cruising etc?

evening dubbers! and evening xav! check your P.M's on the lev's board mate!
ive just bought a 1967 1500, sweeeeeeeeeet motor, got a blown/siezed 1600 bus engine bored to 1776 in the back, i'm looking for anywhere i can get carbs/manifolds for the thing. im fairly new to bugs, tho i am a VW nut (also got a 97 polo 16v - seriously quick motor - (pipercross induction kit, jetex ex system, piper cams) running around 122bhp, which aint bad for a 1.4! also got clocked on track at 127mph!!)
anyway, back to the question in hand, anybody know where i can get a couple of weber 40's and manifolds for a 1600 bus engine for a decent price?
peace out

Nice car dude - well done on the 122bhp from a 1.4 - sweet. Xav's been away - I'll let him know as soon as I can.
