I am curious if anyone can give me info on the proper way to lift my baja so I can fit atleast 32" tires.I have seen the body lifts.But still am not sure that...
I'm skeptical about body lifts. If you need to lift the body just to fit the tires, are you going to have the travel you want? Also, if you have mud in mind,...
I was thinking out loud also and was thinking if you are looking to go mudding, it would be most cost effective to buy a toyota 4x4, haha, I have 18 to 19...
My body lift was to add more headroom in the already cramped passenger space of the VW. ;) Not to mention....with regards to wheel travel....you have a bit...
I am looking at putting A 020 OR 091 bus transaxle in it because all the info I have found on the net points me that way.Plus putting in a posi.I am not gonna...
The difference is if you both get stuck the same place, he only has a few low spots on his truck that are touching, you have the whole bottom of your bug...
Yeah I agree.I know that a lil V Dub has its limits.But seriously think it would be able to keep up.I know its never gonna Drop into a 4' deep mud puddle.About...
"Poor Man's Posi", used to use my e-brake for this all the time in my glass buggy days. Snow sucks to the bottom of the pan like mud does. Advantage there is...
Questions with the 002 or the 091 in a baja... Which would be better for a freeway flyer trans? Or is a built type 1 the way to go? My baja is driven mainly...
Early 002 is a 5.38:1 R&P (or more rarely a 5.42:1) That's ~3k RPMs to go 60 with a 31" tire. BT, DT in my glass buggy. It's fwy drivable, but to go any great...
Here in CA, the freeway speed is 65, so I'd like to be able to do 70. So, I should stick with type1 and get a closer ratio 2nd/3rd? ts....are you MNairhead?...
Not him. I'm in SoCA. ts ... From: Jeff <ifftech@...> Subject: RE: [bajabugs] I agree To: bajabugs@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2009,...
Oh. Same initials. Think I should go with a built type 1? I've gotten quotes, but they're pretty expensive. Transworks looks like around a grand. Hoping to...
I'm a poor person to ask, I've kilt 2 T1 trans-axles in my buggy. They were both re-geared 5.14's and I did get wheel hop in reverse, both times....... So I...
The 091 would be a great freeway trans, the bug transmissions are easy to break, and expensive to beef up. Bus is the way to go. On the subject of mud... I use...
From observation one of the things that I've found that breaks transaxles more easily is a deeply lugged tire. Here on the Left Coast mud isn't really a...
Ok so how do you have enuff lift to be running 31" tires.Did you get the 3" lift spindels for the front.And how hard is a bus trans axle to put in.From what I...
IF (big word there) you are already IRS then it depends on the mounting type that you want. If you can live with the 10* kit (that leaves the stock shifter...
I am gonna say my baja is stock.Its a 1960 beetle with the original 1200cc motor in it.I am pretty sure it was turned into a baja because they wrecked the...
VW purists and I have never seen eye to eye, IMHO, the VW was made to be customized. Now I like stock antique VW's, but if you have ever tried to negociate...
I hear lots of talk about posi's, which is really a term limited to american cars. The VW's have either spools or super diffs. The super diff has four...
Open Diff and a set of turning brakes will be better choice. The front of a baja and rail are to light that the car will push and not turn with a posi. Last...
Not true, the flat under side of the vw acts like the bottom of an air boat. as long as you have bite with the rear wheels it will slide over just about...
4th gear in the VW transaxles are over drives. .89 on most swings & IRS and the Bus trans axles are .82 so you looking at a 4.41 final drive that would be...
Just a quick add to this a spool is dragrace only. You will never be able to turn your car or it will pitch out like a go cart in the rear. E.G.Hall ...
Mud is what we are talking about. Someone else mentioned snow also. Both have the same effect if not worse with snow. Original poster was comparing the...
