Pimp My Ride

If you make it look like an accident, I'll fed-ex you some cookies. If you get caught, this discussion never happened.

Dex...I was telling someone the other day that I always like the black wheel look, but have never had the guts to actually do it to one of my cars??? It looks great though.

Dang it Dex. What a sweet ride. It looks awesome. Enjoy it.

 

[Dexman PE]

Thanks guys. Its not bad for a daily driver either.

I have enough cookies at my house right now. No dice.

Where was that picture taken? Is that the Sporty's at the Clermont County Airport in SW Ohio?

Yep. I was in Cincinnati to witness some equipment testing a couple of years ago and Clermont County was the closest airport. I thought it was pretty cool to have a picture of the plane in front of the Sporty's building. I've bought a lot of stuff from them over the years.

I grew up about 10 minutes from there and still live pretty close. Lunken's a neat one too. It used to be Cincinnati's main airport but it kept flooding. The original terminal is still there and there's actually a really good little restaurant in there too.

2) Swap a USDM Subaru EJ205 or EJ255 engine / transmission into dad's '70 VW Bug. Why? A 250ish hp Subaru engine is about the same cost, but infinitely more reliable than a 250ish hp ACVW. Besides, 250 hp would bend any built Type I transaxle over unless your pockets run deep.

Nice toys in here.

I'd like to see this one. I've got a built 72 Bug based on the original Type I. It's a 2276cc with about 200hp. I'm on my 2nd version of this motor and 2nd "built" trans with this setup, and I still have issues. It's a lot of fun though. I'd be worried about adding weight to the rear in doing a swap. Could make for some tricky handling.
