I took a spin in a friends beetle with a 2.5 subaru beetle this weekend, man was a smooth car, best was the car drove so nice, not a noise, creak, groan in sight.

Got home and thought, screw the 4 cam lookalike type 4 build, sell all the parts and go flat 4 scooby.

Until I weighed up the flywheel, adapter plate, clutch kit........

pass.......

Hey Gary

I can say from experience if you are doing the work yourself the whole conversion is going to cost at least R25 000. (US$ 3500-00) It is amaizing how quickly all the little bits and pices all add up. I must have spent about R45 000 up to this point. School fees had to be paid! However if you consider the performance available you will easily spend this and more to get 70% (on a good day) of the scooby performance on a beetle or type 4 motor. The scooby should proove to be pretty reliable too.
