hehehe I don't blame you. Nice looking bug. I always have a soft spot for a nice bug. Do have in plans for her. Like the twin down draft weber setup etc?

I have guilt problem with the Beetle, she had one lady owner from new and I knew the car since I was a nipper. She is the most original Beetle I have ever seen and so any modifications would make her just like the others.

Cool, I can respect that. It does look really good. I still think I will land up buying one, one day! hehehe However I will go really old school, do the carbs, single exhuast cam etc.

pretty sure an 1100 mk1 thts nt bin driven since 2002 will probs have about 4bhp and 2lb of torque!!

Think my baby is running at about that at the mo...must get coil pack

Nah, just wind up the elastic band, should be good for at least 5bhp then

hehehehe I have just decided I am waiting for the card swap. I am going to do the converison properly IE cam, linkage,carbs,breaks and exhaust. So I am holding off until I have all the parts.

do it pete doooo it

STORM should be ideal. Give us some ideas on how to squeeze some more horses in our motors.
After GTi Fest sounds grand, won't have mine remapped by then so will do a before and after.

Haha what is it ment to be?? iv got a 1.2 16v and its 75bhp standard..iv done a few bits and bobs so it will be good to see if I have improved things.
Its a 53 plate so I expect its lost a few gee gees along the way.

Whatever car you got..if your uprating or improving performance...then it would be a good way of knowing if say... your induction kit or cams etc have made any difference and if so how much! thats only my opinion....and like Dubdread said if it were at STEALTH they could give very good advice too!....
