  • People have been asking on how it was done, so I put a link to the build thread in the description. Hope it helps answer your questions.

  • thats one sick bug man with a big turbo! yeah hahah isnt it alittle sketchy for those coolant lines to run under neither to the front like that? i would be scared to bottom out an rip them. thats a great car tho man. props

  • @mikedsm12

    It is something that we have always been concerned with.....But, we have 3 cars all done like this and have never had any problems. It is definitely not for a really low car but for ours it works. The reason we tried rubber lines first was if we did metal and it did bottom out is would simply smash the pipe, but with rubber it could bounce back with minimal damage to hoses. There will be a 4th car in our collection real soon and will be done the same way.
