what do you guys think about my newly accquired poject car, it was orignally an off-road buggy, but i'm changing it into a lowered, lengthened, boosted, and chopped, VW powered beach cruiser :thumbup:, i expect this to take me prolly 2-3 years to finish (if all goes well), seeing as the whole underbody needs to be replaced

 

[Dustin]

that is pure badass, but i would drop something, like a ga16de in there, just for the extra power.

 

[ICP Sux0rZ!]

nah i was thinkg either rb26t or vg30dett, or jsut BOOST a bigger bug motor

 

[kaptainkrollio]

SR20DET. DO IT!

 

[ICP Sux0rZ!]

ok time for a poll, out of the turbo nissan motors, what does everyone think i should put in the buggy/roadster and why? (plz post pics of the motors because i only know vg30e and tt models)

 

[Tavel]

SR20! SR20! oh oh oh oh i wanna see it!

 

[kaptainkrollio]

I can't wait for Himile to see this thread.

 

[ICP Sux0rZ!]

that a good thing or a bad thing?

 

[kaptainkrollio]

Good. Very good.

 

[ICP Sux0rZ!]

your being sarcastic aren't you?

 

[Spelchy]

Holy crap, you just went up in my books. Good man!

And yes, I'm sure Himile will poo himself.

 

[Dustin]

no, himile is very smart

 

[ICP Sux0rZ!]

Holy crap, you just went up in my books. Good man!

And yes, I'm sure Himile will poo himself.

how did i go up in your books? because i made a good choice getting this thing for $400?

oh and if anyone has any engine suggestions, plz post them with pics of the motor, i'm not sure how long i'm gonna keep that VW motor in there, and i'm open to any and all ideas :thumbup:

oh and do we have any NF stickers i could put on it? lol i'm serious

oh heres an interior pic of the buggy, the entire frame is steel tube

 

[Dustin]

himile will tell you everything you need to know about that thing. but the bug motor should be enough for now.

 

[ICP Sux0rZ!]

like what? i'm changing literally everything on the car, lol, suspension is being updated, i'm lengthing the body, etc. its turning into a street rod

heres some suspension and steering pics

(back)

(steering)

 

[Dustin]

so essentially, you paid 400 for a blank canvas to work on?

 

[ICP Sux0rZ!]

yes with a body that has minor rust problems, and endless possibilities

good call? or did i pay to much? does it help that i'm the only one that knows its for sale, and anyone else that did know would need to pay $800+

 

[Dustin]

i think it would be one hell of a good time, but i dont know about changing it all just yet, does it drive and all?

 

[ICP Sux0rZ!]

that i'm finding out this weekend, i need to fix the wiring, my friends (the previous owner) brother messed up the wiring up, he undid the exhaust, then put it back on, and didn't notice that the wiring to the engie was touching the exhaust pipe, and well lets say i know the car is fireproof :thumbup:

I say either CA18DEt or the Sr20... but save the Sr20 for a 240 owner.. and go with a VW 1.8T or 2.0 N/A motor( from an early years GTi). The Vw 1.8T makes good power, and can easily make 350 whp for around 3000 dollars. the 1.8T is a light motor and small motor and would be good for an application like that.

that being said if you want real power go with a chevy small block or a Northstar V8. those motors make shit ponts of power, and if you balance the car correctly will be a great benefit for you and your passenger. the Small block would be easier to fit in there becuase of the tranny set up, and the ablility to modulate the motor around in a small space.

good luck with the project.

PS- did you ever think about putting a clown in the back? especially if he is insane, becuase we all know clowns make shit ponts of power.
