    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

    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.

    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.

    • @SladesVWBeetle
      @SladesVWBeetle 5 років тому

      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 😀

    • @beanburnham01
      @beanburnham01 5 років тому

      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

    • @SladesVWBeetle
      @SladesVWBeetle 5 років тому

      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.

    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

    • @neildavies2276
      @neildavies2276 5 років тому +3

      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!

    • @SladesVWBeetle
      @SladesVWBeetle 5 років тому +2

      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.

    Yours is lowered about the same height as mine. What tire pressure are you running?

    • @SladesVWBeetle
      @SladesVWBeetle 5 років тому

      Woody Hayes Hey what did you use on the front for yours? Was it Topline Lowering Struts?

    • @ericdrivesjettas
      @ericdrivesjettas 5 років тому

      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

    • @SladesVWBeetle

      Eric Jelier Are you happy with the Empi Adjustable struts? I didn’t know Empi sold them

      @ericdrivesjettas 5 років тому +2

      @@SladesVWBeetle not happy. They sit way to high at the lowest setting. Going to get mk1 rabbit coilovers for the front instead

    • @SladesVWBeetle
      @SladesVWBeetle 5 років тому

      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
