Anyone watching beetle crisis

[boneybradley]

I can't believe people are saying £10k for an extra 102bhp is expensive....    It costs at least £100 to get 5bhp from the mk4 2.0 

b.t.w how many power magnets can you get with that kind of ££?

not saying its expensive for an extra 102bhp.
on some engines that would be considered cheap.
but it is expensive for something with the same power as an 8v gti

Like Wayne said, check the titles for a date, I think it was 95' or summat like that.

The beetle looked crap too.....

2006 i believe.... Buses With Attitude wasn't founded/launched until 2002 so couldn't possibly have been before then...

Surely 10k would bought a much more powerful Porsche engine conversion?

too easy.....it's like adding a 1.8t to a mk3, where's the fun??

Where's the fun in paying someone else sh!t loads of money to build you a slow unreliable engine?

I believe from the threads on SSVC forum it made over 130bhp + lots of torque

The only thing I didnt like on that beatle was them wheels. They said it was euro but where were he bbs's?
Apart from that though 6months was a good effort from them, I dont think ad take on that much of a project.

He did not want a Porsche engine from what I have read.
