I'm sure prises are different between the two. Thats why it put up a red flag for me.

Although if the Type 1 costs say.. 5 bucks and they type 4 costs 6 bucks and I have to rebuild the 1 2 times in the length of the 4 mabey the 1 is better?

That why I wanted to ask about Subie/Rotory swaps. I don't know much about their power curves and granded if I did the swap I won't have all new parts. But they would be stock with more tuning potenial and still go?

My street racer includes everything in my profile. It might be a bit more heavy then stock ghia but I plan to get crackin with the carbon fibre and upgrade to a aluminum inline 4 later on. Makin a tube chassis is fun. I only have a full scale wood model right now but I plan to make it out of steel once ive collected all the tool to make my creation.

that's alot of custom work there.. just in the double A arms..

What exactly does a custom tubular chassis mean?

What are the essencial mods for a VW Supercar?

He's talking about replacing the pan with a custom built race chassis made out of tubular chromoly. Much stronger & lighter then a VW Pan. This is what most drag cars/race cars do.

That's gotta be expensive. I'm suprised no one make a build your own VW kit.. You can even build the chassis..wow..
