I'll bet that K20 turbo Beetle is more fun than should be allowed while clothed! Civic Type R is pretty cool too, is that a JDM clone, or just a fertile imagination at work?

ya that bug was awesome, the guy just pulled into the gas station while i was there and i had to check it out, the thing smoked a suburu trying to race him on the on ramp to get on the freeway.

I was into VWs for over 25 years and the beetle was impressive.... I always liked the idea of a turboed Buick aluminum V6 or a boosted Subie stuffed into a seriously tricked out BaJa Bug would bea nice car to live with or maybe the same in an old Micro bus.

A 21 window van with an STI motor and chromed vintage 911 wheels would be close to heaven for me! I think the J-swap is as close to a BBC as most Honda guys are ever gonna get LOL

i grew up in a bug family and everyone use to work at a vw shop so we knew a lot of stuff and still do, but we have never seen this before, my uncles bug had a porche turbo engine in his bug that wuld pull wheelies no problem, and my dad had a baja bug that was the cleanest around.

Heh. I think it's funny that a 2.0L counts as a "big" engine.

No shit man... Nothing can beat the Boss Hoss for "You put a what? in a what?"

(Yes, that's a 350cc (5.7L) V8 powered motorcycle.)



Big engine in a little car is how the pony-car got started. Take a compact Falcon, redo the body to make it look sporty, and drop a big honkin' engine in there, and you have a Mustang.

Now that's some serious HP/TQ I wonder would that be feasible in our Fits?
Not that I would do aaanything like that.....say with a salvaged Fit with front end damage because that would be a good platform
to beef up and tweek the suspention.
