since the insurance on an FC would be $212 a month. which is alot more than i want to spend so ill just have to build me one of these.







price would be about....500 or so plus the price of the engine.

Is that a Porsche? I thought the insurance was high on one of those.



I had a 71 Beetle and I had to carry a socket wrench everywhere with me to retighten the head bolts. They would vibrate loose ans I was too Stupid/Lazy to fix it. I also did not have reverse so parking was always done strategicaly. slight incline + overinflated tires would get me out of a parking space.



Heater sucked on it I remember that much and I live in Florida.

i wanted a friend of mine to put a rotary in his bug but he decided to build an air cooled turbo motor for it. 160hp at the wheels on 10lbs is pretty nice.



Jims5543 I have not seen a bug that had a heating system that worked. Of coarse a rotary woul heat it up nicely.

i dunno bout over there, but the best part here would be no emissions....and if u already have the car, then yes 500 plus engine cost, caus ethe kit is like 500 bucks. and if u know that cars owner personally, ask him how and where he placed the radiator.

thanks and have fun....
