Thanks! Insanely fun and scary. But it CAN be driven tamely. It just involves a LOT of shifting

Thanks and Man that car is awesome!!

The motor makes entirely too much power for the mini. I'd say 120hp is max for a FWD mini. I'd rethink a beetle with a bike engine. There are simply too many cheap and efficient ways to get a bug fast. 2180 with dual webbers is plenty fast I assure you. A bike engine would just be obnoxiously loud and a pain in the ass. For fuel I ran the stock SPI mini fuel tank with a bosch external pump and a return line. Fuel gauge isn't accurate but who cares...
