Hmm so your tire size would give 23mm more radius than what I have right now (205/40/17) which looks nice but is too damn low. Right now with the kamei spoiler on, I have 3-4cm ground clearance. What I have in mind is a 215/45/17 tire for the front. I think I could get away with it then.
About the LA Performance fron suspension, all I can say is that it's a great kit, awesome on the street also, thanks to the adjustability, but the downside in my case is that I can't adjust it a bit higher... I mean in the highest setting, it's still too low... I could use about 3-4centimeter more. But maybe I'm doing something wrong :P

Thanks. I am seriuosly considering those struts. Unfortunatelly load work had not allowed me work on the projects.
On the Kamei, I would made a shorter one on fiberglass based on the original one.:)

yeah that's probably the best idea, considering that I've been meaning to start playing with some carbon fibre, to see if I could make something out of it or not :)

measures which are the wheels?

:)

not as nice as yours but trying..

A bit offtopic, but this is all the VW action I've had out there: :P

Is that the Top Secret VW Beetle Zero emmisions?!?!?:lmao:

hey XelleX!! great you have been here. sorry about the lack of vw activities, but i tell you now, you have a brother over here.

Had been more than a year since we began to work on the engine. The work was veeeery slowly but we finally did it. The present engine configuration is as follows:
Berg 86 crank
Carrillo 5.5 rods
90.5 Bergs
Berg 870 heads
Berg 311/FK10 cam
Berg 1 5/8 header
NOS Dellorto 48 Tri Jets
Type 4 oil cooler
009 Pertronix
Stock modified cooling

I must say it needs some tunning but is it running a lot better that expected. I am just enjoying it before any further tunning. Every time I drove on the streets it gets compliments even money offers for it!!!

Here is a recent photo on the streets!
