    i allways wanted to get a early bug or karman and install a bad ass rotary motor, mazda trix or racing beat sells a kit to connect a 12a or 13b rotary to a vw transaxle, i think a hot street port side draft webered 13b would be cool, about 175 - 200 hp. or if you wanna race, a peripheral port beast, nothing like 315 hp from a 80 cid normally asperated motor, not very streetable, idles around 3500 and don't make power till around 7000, but from there till 11k look out
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it

    You guys can read my mind!
    My first love is air-cooled VW's.
    I attached a link to some pics of it.
    I have a link on that page to pics of my next project: a Manx-Style Buggy.
    It looks good parked next to the 525i....both products of the Mother Land.

    HERE'S THE LINK, folks:

    www.home.earthlink.net/~whwklw/

    GREAT hearing positive notes on our beloved air-cools.
    Thanks folks.

    Tried your link and couldn't get to it... But now I have found a new respect for you! My very first car was a bug, it sort of sold me on German cars. Right now I have 2 Porsche 914's. One I am building to sell, when its done, the other will be sort of a street/race car... My girlfriend wants a buggy so there may be one of those in my future, right now my time and resources are tied up...
