A look at the components

The front axle of my former daily driver Lil' Lizzy. It's a standard size axle with drum brakes and standard hight spindels. A oversized stabalizer will be added. Low and tight should get us through the corners.

The gearbox is a standard low gearing 1200 gearbox. It wil be braced and fitted with a poormans posi kit from gene berg.

The car itself, a 1200 standard beetle from 1974. Looks like crap, isn't perfect but will be beautiful ones again. For now we'll just have some fun with it in the summer and get it on the road as an oldtimer ( fewer demand at the vihicle inspection)

These bucketseats we're cheap and secondhand. They will keep us from bracing us with our legs against the door. LOL

As corky bell said, an intercooler is not the icing on the cake, it's an other cake alltogether. Good turbos have intercoolers, hence: It's from a open frontera 4x4

It might be called Liquid Propane Gas But when it isn't kept under pressure it's still a gas. Hence it has to be stored in a pressure tank. These things are bomb proof so safety is not a problem. From these they will go in to a vaporisor and from there the gas will go to a mixer divise plumbed into the intake. More on this as we build. We'll explain it good.

This is my racing engine from last year. It was pretty tame so adding the turbo won't be a problem. It's a 1200 botthemend with 1300 DP heads, doghouse cooling. The carburetion was 2 dellorto DRLA 36 mm. The intake manifold will become standard 1300DP manifold with a throttle body on top.

14 inch steel wheel, 5.5 inch wide. These will turn our gearing down and give us cart-like handling. Going fast is the key-word.

Plans have changed, for the better

In the last post I thought about making this car my new daily. It's been a long time since and the fastback has become the new daily driver. Now I promise you there will be more updates soon because the orange car has been choosen for our new project. Actualy it's our first project.

The orange car (AKA Bad Bitch)is gonna be turned into a lowbudget racecar.
It's gonna be streetlegal with an other engine to drive to the races. This is because lack of a trailer.
At the races it will sport a 1200 turbocharged intercooled liquid propane powered engine.
Yes, this is unusual but it's also the cheapest way to power. Certainly considering our parts stock. I hope we've got you're attention and you'll become a regular here.
Keep watching for a fresh view at cheap racing.
