Nice work!...
How much planning did it take you to get the way you wanted it? I am really thinking about doing that now, but I just dont know how, I still might do the surge tank and where and how could I fit it in there and still kinda be in-cognitto? Any ideas?

Not much planning really, I just eye-balled it. I just kinda figured what would look good. You could run the surge tank pressure ducts down both sides of the rear of the car. You could cover the ducts with vinal to match the headliner and then route the ducts into the new found engine space, since you moved the fire wall. From there you could divide the air up between the cooling system and the induction system.

Hmmmmmmm....
It might just work, but I'm gonna have to read over your last reply about a million times to get a picture in my head (I can't read and comprehend what I read right away with out actually seeing it done! ) But its sounds like a really good plan, I'm just gonna have to look over my car and see what I can get out of it!

Re:
Thumbs up for the lexan side windows... I'm anticipating on doing exactly what was done with the lexan side ducts. Buy a slightly scoop that is offset by a couple of inches from the window, to literally grab the air as it rushes by.
I havn't decided if I am going to spend the time and do this... My bug is a body off restoration, and I have 99% of the rust repair/bodywork done, but I just havn't decided on just how far I'm going to go. Mainly because with school and all... |

If you are doing the lexan window with the duct in it you shouldn't have to do that much bodywork. Just a few holes in the firewall for the air ducts.

yeah the only thing you would have to struggle with would be the cutting, and like genius said it should be easy!
Good Luck! John

It is a very good idea and a very simple one at that, espescially when compared to my roof cowl idea, but it looks like it would be very functional as well, go for it genius I think you'll like them when your done, but be careful, a freind of mine installed lexan rear quarter windows in his Honda Civic and hated them, yeah sure they did what they were supposed to but every time it rained, the windows would flood the back seat, just use some sealer of some kind...

Were they bolt in windows or were they designed to be exact replacements for the stock windows.

I dont remember........I think they were bolt in, which would make sense as to why they leaked so much water, can you find direct replacement windows for a super beetle?
I hope so otherwise you better put a drain in the center of you car:hehehe: :silly:

www.aircooled.net sells lexan windows for your car in three and six piece sets. They have both bolt in and direct replacement for your car.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...
i couldn't find them right now, but I'll keep looking. That would be sweet to run lexan on all six windows, i just wonder if there are any down sides to doing that. Do they make the driver windows one peice or standard winged windows, can you roll them up easy, what about tinting? I'm glad you let me know aircooled.net has direct replacement windows, I already knew about there bolt in kits? I'll keep up on my home work! John

They should be right in the drag racing body parts section.

what about the Remmele style CF ducts that mold into the section in front of the rear fenders below the quarter windows?
Sorta similar concept as the NACA ducts but in the body instead of the windows?

Does remmele have a website? I have tried looking but everything I find is in a differant language and I can't translate them all to find the correct one. Does remmele have a distributor in the USA? Any informationm would be appriceated.
