Now, now... my Lancer doesn't require a key to get started either

 

wut is it; a push start!?! haha....push and then pop it into gear?!?!? haha
btw my lancer too doesnt require a key to start!! hahahah.....SMART!!! key!

 

lol…stupid smart key…

and naw, it’s not a push start! hahaha
it has a combination of switches and such…pretty much a custom anti-theft setup…cuz i’m sure one of these days some ****** is gonna hop in it when i’m not around and think he can get it going.

 

haha, true. keep it in ur garage man! n i hope it aint a million toggle switches to turn it on. haha. would kinda be kool for that kinda car though! how much power does it have?

 

she gets the garage…no roof, no doors, exposed engine…i don’t really have another choice! lol
and i don’t have a million toggle switches, but i got enough :P
as far as hp goes, honestly man, …unknown…
all i know is i’m runnin the original 1963 Volkswagen Beetle 1200cc flat-4 air cooled engine…when it was mounted on the Beetle Body it had a top speed of 72mph…but keep in mind the Dune Buggy body is a masssssssive weight reduction, plus i have a custom header/exhaust system. (still using the original 4-speed manual transmission too) ... also, for those of you who don’t know, it’s rear engine / rear-wheel drive.

 

BUMP

Thats a damn nice restore job, the paint b4 looks like rattle can.

Now all she needs is some recaros, some 22's and big body tires.. lol

Congrats to you and ur dad dude, some acheivement

 

nice! i want to put that exhaust on my lancer. hahahaha

 

^^ lol, the paint before was defiantly a spray paint job!
and it would probably look so boss with recaro’s and dubs hahaha
but yea, thanks man…hard work pays off in the end!

^hahaha, just make sure you make it stick up like that!
*check out the link on my first post to see the dash with all my toggle switches. :P

 

hey nick, there is a retrofit mod for the works Exhaust I have, do you mind being a Guinie pig!

 

^ please explain…lol

 

dubbed the TQ recovery mod,
two versions are 1. an insert or 2. precision crush bends. to provide additional back pressure.

 

hmmm…not a fan of precision crushing bendadge…
maybe the insert…
but honestly, i’m not sure if i should even bother lol

 

looking good...nice work

 

^ thanks buddy!
