Sex on wheels :bowdown:

Very, very nice.
I've thought about a removable front apron as well, but didn't have the nerves to actually do it.

Awesome..

good luck with the rst of the build and look forward to hearing about the huge grin you will have when you drive it for the first time.

Thanks Rob, great to see the hill climp pics, people really under estimate the potential of a beetle. My mate has a dry sumped 2.8 lt type4 and constantly beats 95 % most that turn up to events here. I couldnt open the other link? will try again. Brent.

Hi Rob, it's not too much work but if you want to run an oil cooler up front it's really tight with out making extra room by cutting away the spare wheel well..Give it a go mate. the car wont fall to bits.

Amazing car and built! BIG compliments to you Brent!!
Don't let Remmele see this or he will be jealous

Do you have any experience with oil pressure with regard to the front oil Dry sump tank? (as I want to locate it at the front also and opinions differ about the oil pressure drop because of this...)

Thanks,
Walter

hello mate
been running mine up front for about a year now and no probs at all.you can not get away with out running a cooler though in hot weather,thought 3 gallon of oil and a big tank would be enough,it is for the hill climbs and sprints but run's a bit to hot on the road in high temp/high speed driving.
cheers rob

Hi walter, well the first thing is to run as big oil lines as you posibly can, and if you intend to run tank up front run the lines the straightest posible route. The pump i have used is a bug pack i think, the pressure will be set. I do see peoples concerns but remember that std type 1 has 2.5 lts oil or somthing, the heat created can break down the oil too so having dry sump system alows so much more oil. I was in the Lotus club here in NZ and lots of front engine cars had the tank in the boot so same thing really. My friend has 2.8 lt type 4 dry sumped and has no problems with tank up front. In fact recently did a engine pull down and told me the wear was nil, just change oil regulary. Oil cooler is a must too, i have two alloy ones up front.
I have also seen where too much pressure can damage bearings and give excesive oil leaks. Actualy you may be able to tell me something? oils have come along way with this synthetic stuff, but i heard a rumour where the synthetic oils can seep though a magnesium case? the type 4 alloy case ok? what do you think Walter? Brent.

Hope you think they are up to the task. Brent

Air box and plentum boxes are alloy, engine lid should seal around panel filter. Hey it's not carbon fibre but didnt cost me much either, just a dam lot of work. Good to be different eh?
