Vw Beach Buggy Blueprints VW Beetle - I Want It To Wheelie!!!?

VW Beetle - I want it to wheelie!!!? - vw beach buggy blueprints

In seeking to build a VW Beetle-based dune buggy beach, and wondered how powerful it should be the horse? In guessing the engine is out of stock.

Suggestions?

I'm not sure but wouldnt the stock engine, I have a 1302 Beetle 1598cc and 0-60 in 3 hours. I have a Subaru engine (needs a radiator at the time) or Porsche air-cooled engine.

Get your car in the shop and buy World nation, where there is a good custom Beetle ...

If built correctly, you can make a wheel with a rear engine lawn mowers, but most can be answered why.

The car is not in the car to the right and you are, you run the risk of losing control, because the center of balance is now behind the car. (it is difficult to come down when the brakes).

But to the ACN. Front tubular frame, weight reduction is not possible. Remove the bodywork, windows, windshields, etc.. Generate more weight in the range of the engine (behind the transaxle to the wheels through the outsourcing of things there (spare tire, gas tank (not ouch. A great idea, but moves about 80 pounds of gas), construction of a roll cage around you and the engine, and so on.

Move the seat back or near the bridge.

Your vehicle will .. Road, but no longer legal.

It has more to do with weight distribution and transmission. Torque is more important than strength when it comes to horses.
Hold the front to make it as easy as possible and a lower first gear.
Abuse and be as good as the current car corners for the simplest, but dragster
