P**sed off!
 

Had a buyer on the beetle, supposed to come today to collect, didnt, called mobile switched off all day.....wanker....£5k bollocks!
I have had a idea though, my mate owns a breakers yard, he has a porka boxter s engine out of a recka..... can you see were im going with this. Will a porsche engine fit in a beetle!! He will let me have the engine for a monkey. What do you reckon guys.
I know I will have to change gearing etc, what else will need to be changed?

Er...YEAH!!!!......The Rallycross beetles ran Porker engines in the 70s....Its got to fit....somehow!!!:tup:

whats a Monkey?? I only ever saw your cat at the B&B

Would I have to move the fire wall etc to make more space. Can you imagine though 250 bhp in a beetle what a laugh!!!

Typical timewasters. For every decent buyer there's a dozen time wasters.
You won't get a boxster engine to fit in to a beetle. There's a chap down the road from me who's shoehorned an air cooled flat 6 into a bug and that involved a helluva lot of modification. The boxster engine is watercooled and even more of an effort to even attempt to fit than is practially worthwhile.
If you want cheap power in a bug, put a subaru engine in!

Half a bag of Sand!!

A monkey Martyn is half a bag of sand!!:finger:

i got a monkey on the dash of my quatt, and a bagpuss in another......ho hummmm
