[1969MustangMACH1]

the subaru boxer engine is only one of the sexiest sounding engines around.....is it really necessary to cover that amazing sound with music?

[spinlessbastard1]

is there any particular reason why you decided against fitting a limited slip diff ,the car is awesome BTW

[NAPAPHATTY]

IM BUILDIN A 65 WITH A STI MOTOR

[NegativeNumbers427]

@NAPAPHATTY

Can you upload some videos? That would be nice...

[SozioTorte]

Germany and Japan didn't just fit together in the past ;)

[ME262B2]

@SozioTorte AXIS POWER should be the name of the conversion. During WW2 Japan built an AMAZING fighter called the Ki-61 It was an very powerful Japanese fighter which used the Geman Damiler Benz DB-601 !Finally they arerepaying the debt

[MadBaz101]

[Lil306]

Sweet as I love it, there's something what feels so right about bugs, no matter how much you change them they always appeal to someone. Old skool + new skool, pure old skool, rat racers, hot rods. I love em all

[stoopidtlove]

Hella negative camber on those rears too, I like how you've got some good meats on the rear, probably need em to just to hook up!

Now if I could only get a VeeDub!!

[dudeweresmycarlol]

[loveanianimeme]

[ziggassedup]

i love the roof rack...and what do you think will stay on it?..only the chrome i think...LOL.

[elgitano911]

PURA ENERGIA VW

[zap261126]

fantastic machine I saw the other video you listed the parts I was wondering though which calipers did you use I know airkewled wild use to offer wilwood ones

[soulcalibur22]

very good job

[onesick77]

been of cool if it had the awd on it

[4BangerNA10Sec]

awd G@y cant even do a burnout and bugs dont need awd they hook up like no other there 60 foot times are crazy

[onesick77]

awds arent gay but you already have the WRX STI engine why not put the awd on it. and on top of that awd rip anything off the line with the proper work done to it. but hey it's oh ok cause you must be the fag that thinks front wheel drive cars are the best to race with.

[4BangerNA10Sec]

set up right a vw bug will rip on street bikes off the line they dont need awd idiot your just mad cuz you cant do a burn out or pick the front tires off the ground its ok you can go drive your car in the dirt i rather get a truck if i wana race in dirt. whats wrong with fwd they can do burn outs too

[onesick77]

I have a WRX that has mods thats my every day driver, and i have my camaro that runs 8s in the quater mile and has no problems lifting the front tires off the ground.

[4BangerNA10Sec]

yeah but why not have both a daily driver and one that can still pick the front tires off the ground = sti bug

[onesick77]

lets see the state wont give me a plate for my camaro, maybe for the fact that i have drag tires on it. no head lights or tail lights. no turning signals what more do ya need to know why the state wont let me have my camaro on the streets

[4BangerNA10Sec]

What the hell are you talking about your camaro for im sure that bug can run in the low 10s high 9s and be drivin everyday what more do you want?

[onesick77]

well lets see you dumb muthafucka you said why dont you drive both as a daily driver. and i was just telling you why i couldnt drive my camaro on the streets.

[4BangerNA10Sec]

well you can drive that bug on the streets so whats your point?

[Kairingo]

tires dont have to do with shit... head lights tail lights turn signals.. add those and it could be street legal

[turbobugga]

stop bragging just show some video. and video game dont count, LOL!

[turbobugga]

sorry i was refering to onesick77

[lovecolt45]

every time u take off the trunk pops open...

DAMN

[flip46]

how much did you drop it

[Oscorm]

what song is?

[underdog944]

what type of transmission are they using for that conversion?

[nootoo3394]

ehhh... is it only me, or does it look like the camber of the rear tires is wayyy off?

[TheSpencer77]

It is. That's what happens when you lower a swing axle rear end.

[Obscevator]

It isn't way of... it's just fckn sexy!  [ ok ok... maybe it is a bit too much but it's still fckn hot! ]

[mabalot5150]

I've seen way more camber than that =)

[eoinsully2006]

@nootoo3394 - Thats the standard camber set up for a VW Beetle, it looks as if the read wheels are falling in, hence the owners comments about watching the rear deck push down as the car takes off and about changing the suspension - alot of the power is being wasted

[74bajaboy]

@nootoo3394 it's called a swinger transmission, instead of the Irs Trans, he probably has the torsion bars set up that way to create the camber

[JWinchester357]

@nootoo3394 its a vw dude

[lilpunky69]

@nootoo3394 hahahah Nah man its spot on

[johnsgtr]

@nootoo3394 No, the camber is not off. He probably has the camber set that way to fit the tires.

[RomeoReject23]

@johnsgtr No, he's doing that stupid hella-flush nonsense. It's a thing many VW tuners do, and it's not only awful for performence, it's looks abhorrent as well.

[johnsgtr]

@RomeoReject23 I guess everyone has their own opinions.

[RomeoReject23]

@johnsgtr Well, the looks are open for debate, but running that amount of camber will hurt performance, and that is fact. Any time you can see the camber raising most of the tire off the road, you've sacrificed most of your contact patch. Running a little bit of negative camber is acceptable to account for weight transfer, but that's FAR too much.

[davenow]

@RomeoReject23 No, you are just a fucking moron that doesnt know what a swing axle car is. Lower a swing axle VW and that is what you get. There is NO WAY AROUND IT without converting to a non swing axle rear setup.

If you knew a fucking thing about cars, you wouldn't need that explained to you.

Yes, Hella flush is gayer than 9 dicks in 8 asses, but that is not why his rear wheels sit like that.

[RomeoReject23]

@davenow LOL! Whew, I'd better copy this on to my boss so he can establish if I can stay on as a mechanic in my shop! Seeing as how pretty much every manufacturer stopped using swing axles in the '60s, I haven't seen one in damn near forever, I almost forgot they existed. So that kinda skipped my mind. This is also ignoring the fact I figured having transplanted in the Subaru boxxer motor I figured they'd be using it's transaxle as well, which would make the swing axle obsolete.

[1949bug]

the engine lids an mot fail over here.lol.

Tidy conversion, love the stance, are you running IRS and normal gbox?

[erik61801]

How much you selling it for?

[CJAEY]

I love how the boxer motor suits the look of the VW bug

[omggiggles]

looks lik good ol' horsepower freaks parking lot

[gamakigi]

bestiale

[12valvepower1]

[12valvepower1]

imagine that thing with anti-lag. spitting fucking flames out the tailpipes. straight pipe it and put anti lag on it. that thing would scare the shit out of camaro drivers

[robybike11]

[10RRASK]

[MajestikSkillz]

[weaver2109]

Damn, man, that sounds sick!!

You ever pop a wheelie in that thing?

[jaimecidcampeador]
