"We race because we're not allowed to go to war."
I've had on for over 20 years. With a type 4 motor and proper transmission it is a beast.
Beautiful bug, which has nothing to do with the nazi's
Michael Boisselle I agree! Very nice!
There is nothing more fun than a bug with power. Always wanted to have one myself as my first car. Needless to say it didn't happen.
The Dutch Texan It’s never too late!!
Perhaps... Right now everything is out of reach. Just that time in life I suppose!
holy crap that dude kinda sounds like rob feretti
Lol.... Mr Spaghetti with beetle
Yeah lol I totally thought it was him for a second
one of the best sleepers that you can build can't wait to get my bug on the road soon!
Dukefirepanda Good luck with your beetle!! Enjoy it, they’re fun cars!
My first car was a 1971 bug with a 1914cc motor. Don’t know HP but it ran a 14.4 in the 1/4 and was SOOOOO fun.
beanburnham01 That’s a really good 1/4 mile time! My first was a 1968 at 16 years old. I think I had about 57hp 😀
Vintage Car Yesterday the mechanic that I bought it from estimated the HP around 100-110. I went through 4 transmissions in that car cuz stock tranny couldn’t hang. Haha! I can’t imagine how fun those bugs are that people WRX swap
beanburnham01 Oh yeah you needed a upgraded trans. Lol I may do a 1776 for mine just for normal use. Mine will be here Thursday, it’s a resto job for me. I may do some films while doing it up
These can be turned in to hilariously sideways wagon... Also, the Mighty Car Mods put a Subaru Impreza WRX 4 cylinder in one of these and destroyed so much on the dragstrip because these cars weigh nothing.
nice idea but i'll sticck with vw engine !
“Lightly modified “ yap and the seats are who ever bought them stock is actually comfortable to me lol
Stock 74 supers had column high beams on the turn signal switch . Earlier bugs like my 57 ragtop had foot switch
Wicked. I love the sleepers!
We love the VW Bettle. We have 2013 VW Bettle Turbo
O always liked old beetles also this dude sounds like rob
Idk what’s up with that car’s high beams. Every other bug is on the stock like every other car.
I've had over a dozen Beetles, including a 12 second drag car. My current one runs 14s, aiming to get into the 13s this year. ua-cam.com/video/kGEoXzjiTr0/v-deo.html
If this Super was mine, I'd start by raising the back suspension slightly for better launches. Change as much of the glass for plastic, and start cutting weight out wherever you can - Supers are heavy compared to a standard. Supercharger conversions on Beetles are temperamental - That's why most people go for a turbo, either in draw through or blow through configurations. A 1641 with a single carb blow through will be 120bhp, enough for 14s but will probably lunch the transmission. Fun while it lasts though, and that's what it's all about!
Finding a old air cooled porsche flat six would be ideal upgrade for this beetle
No, it destroys the handling. They're too long and hanging those extra two cylinders out of the back means that the back end wants to rotate round. A big cc type 1 beetle motor will out perform a Porsche, but a Subaru will squeeze in there if you try!
Neil Davies Your EXACTLY right!
Wont fit.
So cool!!
Congrats nice presentation!! From Spiros the Greek
is a 1776 engine good
Crypto Pirate Yes!!! Nice reasonable power and VERY good dependability!! They’re not stroked and perfect 90.5 mm pistons that will be dependable as stock! Just choose the right cam and carb set up.
Nice boiii, awesome job
What!,my right ear is already in love with the sound out of that bug dudes!,its damn cool beetle and i love it already.how many CC and HP from that engine?
Subaru EJ20 is the answer to have a cool VW Beetle.
no matter what you say about it @10:33 is what its all about lol, the bug won
Yours is lowered about the same height as mine. What tire pressure are you running?
Woody Hayes Hey what did you use on the front for yours? Was it Topline Lowering Struts?
Factory tire spec pressures. It was on the front bump stops with cut springs in the video. I've since put on new springs and empi adjustable struts
Eric Jelier Are you happy with the Empi Adjustable struts? I didn’t know Empi sold them
@@SladesVWBeetle not happy. They sit way to high at the lowest setting. Going to get mk1 rabbit coilovers for the front instead
Eric Jelier Thank you for answering me, I’m glad you let me know. I may go to top line and see what they carry. I just dread buying struts and not being happy with them, because they’re not cheap
A lightly modified '74? Wtf has it been doing for all those years, watch all of One Piece?
Von stroheim pops out the trunk:p.
You are not sitting in a stock seat and you curse the beetle seat?
Production ended in 2003 nor 2002 (Mexico)
"now i know why the Germans are all miserable" yup that gasoline is powerful stuff lol
Needs some TLC but it's fun none the less and I can't stand your "evaluation"...
Mille miglia wheels
Cant handle when people review bugs lol all so wacky
85 Monte will start walk away
Anyone else heard he say that the year of the car is "Nazi 74"?
Lol.
DI ZAZZO Yes 🙄😂
This guys is a facking idiot.
My 85 will blow the doors off this car lol 9 second flat
Luv the car but this guy is the biggest crybaby I've ever seen 😢
