CatatonicChimp Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Looks amazing, I can only hope my East German people's car turns out as nice... Where did you get the roof rack from? I really want to get something similar and stick a nice old leather suitcase to match... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I got the roof rack from Platinum VW Spares www.vwspares.co.nz/ it's a beetle specific design, not sure how well it'd work on something with a flatter roof, though I'm sure it can be modded to do so... I need to get some leather straps made up before I can put stuff on it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

63Ragtop Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 195-65 or 205-65 15R back 145-65 15R front, get low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 ^ I think thats exactly what I've got. Wanting to go to Smart Car tires in the front for more low though. Or 135s. But seeing yours is a little higher I think the 145s will be sweet and keep a good contact patch for that monster motor thats coming at it haha. Yeah good meeting you too dude.

10Speed Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 R15? the BRM's are 17's ideally I'd been looking for 185 45 R17's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Ragtop Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ah 17's very cool! baller! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Although beetles are not my thing, I had one once and it was not superb, I like your work. Quality build! Car looks really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 17s? Shit. Did not notice. That should be interesting, too large for me personally but have seen some really nicely pulled off. I did this like on 17s Digging through my pics doesn't seam like you're the first kiwi on 17" BRMS, thats a NZ plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 yeah those on the nz car are designed for the new beetle and he'll probably be running adapters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

63Ragtop Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 BOOST! shame about the blow out, what are you doing for a gearbox? I don't imagine a stocker lasting very long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 for now, I've left the stock 1300 box in will not last long (might not have even lasted the drag day)... when it blows I will replace it with another stock box (should cost about $200) but will get a proper one built at some point complete with LSD (Quaife) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Ragtop Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 and disc brakes, for the love of god man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
