Hi Mate, no probs, cool, the wider beam means more Lock can be used with bigger wheels and tyres, its more stable on bumps and trackside kerbs, and it generally helps improve turn in and handling, the t/bars are two piece like the rear, 4 swayaways are used to achieve this and stretch the beam , each bar can be set up separately for correct corner weights and heights. the Okrasa motor is 82 x 98, and its still a proper wasser boxer. hope that helps you.

I'm still having trouble visualizing what you mean for the front. I've got a Ghia and I think the wider beam may cause an issue, but its still intriguing to me.

Is this an 'adjustable' beam that you've cut the torsion bars in half and are using the center adjuster lock-thingie to secure them? Any pictures of the setup?

How has the WBX performed for you? Any reliability issues or tips for me in recreating what you've done?

I purchased a 1.9L WBX that I'm looking to build up and would like to hear about what you did to make your Beetle competitive with that engine. Exh size, cam choice injection / carb setup c:r: etc.

Feel free to PM me if you like.

Best regards,
