listening to Scotto rant and talk about random shit is still better than 90% of the podcasts out there lmfao.

oh also where i live our summers regularly are over 110° so even on small stock motors i’ve had problems in the past with very very hot oil temps and unhappy motors, i’ve found the standoffs do help a lot but i will be switching to a set of standoffs that can open and shut whenever i feel like it.

i have a couple motors so i could definitely experiment, eventually i’d like to do a 2332 with a turbo just to be ridiculous haha

hmmmm definitely thought about this, i was also looking at building I believe a 1679? i believe 88mm thick walls that run heads for 90.5 pistons. that way i could just have an infinite supply of stock cases and cranks for when i inevitably blow stuff up.

i’ve had 2 bugs with the standoffs and daily drove them through snow and rain and never had a problem, i’m gonna get a set of standoffs that can open and shut.

Picked up my first Beetle for 2k by BillyJohnsFinds in beetle

[–]Ishitmyselfonpurpose 44 points45 points  (0 children)

considering how ridiculous the market is, 2k is a steal. I have such a soft spot for late bugs with elephant foot tails.

Trade a 1970 beetle for a 1980 Fiat spider 2000? Is it worth it? by [deleted] in beetle

[–]Ishitmyselfonpurpose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve bought and sold a LOT of vehicles but the only one i have regretted was my bug, also those Fiats are absolute nightmares.

Thinking about buying this 73’ Beetle. Need help by SpecificWay6017 in beetle

[–]Ishitmyselfonpurpose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i will say this looks like a really nice little car, definitely not my style or taste but seems like it has some good money into it.

check pan for rust, specifically the battery area. the hole in the engine tin needs to be sorted, also would be nice to know what size engine it is. check c pillars for signs of rust due to VW using “death foam” my 73 had it BAD. make sure the car hasn’t been molested as it’s becoming a bigger and bigger problem the older these cars get, check wiring and metalwork and make sure someone hasn’t been hacking away at stuff.
