Hey guys, I spotted this everything else section and figured it would be fun to just post up a few other cars/toys I have and keep it updated on what i do this them.
The first is a my sand rail, it was my dads old rail. when I was a kid he build it up in the garage. Last June my dad sold it to me after I nagged him about it for the last 5 years or so!! anyway I started off my getting the 2180cc air cooled vw engine back up and running nice and strong. I re-jeted the carbs and dyno tuned it. after a few trips out I remembered something, WHY I GOT OUT OF VW'S!! anyway a change of engine was needed. I made the choice to switch to a Honda power plant, the Acura 3.2 TL motor was the one!! Now the rail is a wheelie pulling monster!!

I used to be a VW nut as well. Rails, bugs, bajas, buses, even a Westy.
What transaxle are you using? I can't see enough detail to tell.
Funny you ask, I'm working that up right now!!
Its a 3rib bus transaxle, I dissasembled it and welded 3rd & 4th gears all stock other than that, I do have a clutch masters flow valve to reduce the shock of engagment. I use a redline oil too, I'm been out 5 times with the setup and its still holding up
with old VW engine

I got into cars when I was 14/15 thanks to air-cooled Volkswagens. Though, I have yet to own one
Look forward to seeing/hearing more!
after inside was painted
Dimple died A-piller plate, built in house at my shop VIP Performance
I custom fitted the S2000 cluster into the stock gauge cluster location's using existing factory gauge cluster parts
very clean on the bottom side
engine by so clean you could eat off it
I took the car out for about 2000miles normal driving before any kind of racing or drifting
first drift event was in the parking lot of the hoodoo ski lodge
made it out to PARC just one time
Have any videos? I'm a huge fan of F20/SR20 (RWD) cars of any kind. The looks/mods are very tasteful too!
This would be my personal car, however I just finished up a SR20det swap'd AE86 early this summer!!
Here's a video to start, yes thats me driving

Thanks for sharing, super cool looking little track (cart?). Looks like mid range torque with that F20 scoots that coupe around just fine!
