Come up with your own ideas. Have you no creativity?






Assbandit.

It's ass-PILOT!


What a douche!

I'm laughing so hard I cannot catch my breath.

So am I actually!

I might have some wheel adapters. Kyle, do you remember what happened to the set from Buddy's donor car?

He may be bored or a POST HOE

You two are about neck and neck.

I don't recall ever seeing them. You and Jimmy picked that car up and I don't think I ever even saw the chassis.
Call Jimmy. He may have them.
That said, I can almost picture them in your garage, but I know what they look like and your garage, so it's not hard for my head to put the two together, but you're right, I seem to recall them floating around somewhere.

You're welcomed to them if we can locate them, Andy. We have no need for them.

Yeah. I am not sure. I'll give him a call.

I bought some wheel adapters off of Eric, the pics of the car are on page 1. New gas shocks might do the trick but I don't want to spend $35 a piece if they still rub when I hit the brakes.

Okay good Andy. I thought you were still looking.

Let me dig around. Maybe I have some loaners you could try out.

That is what my bug is doing right now.. that is the idea of the air shocks.. more air.. more resistance... should really work.

I've always heard that air shocks or coil-overs on the front make s a VW drive squirrelly.

The BF G radial TA tires are highly rated. Just be sure they're not super old. I use/LOVE them. However, a light car like a buggy will be scary on hardened tires, which begins after only about 5-6 years, especially if the tires have been inactive.
Tires have date codes on them and are easy to read. They'll be in a little oval on the sidewall as the numbers are changed weekly.

If they are getting older but still seem fresh, run them like 5-8 pounds under max inflation. That'll put a little more on the ground and provide some additional flex.

How to determine the age of a tire.

I'll be the one doing all of the teaching when it comes to tires if you don't mind.

Yeah, I know I shouldn't run old tires, but I'm gonna. These are brand new, with the nipples still on, never seen the sun, straight out of the 80's. So we'll see what happens, I may end up getting smaller/narrower tires for the front if the rubbing persists after trying different shocks.

They seemed pretty soft and pliable when I saw them. I wouldn't be afraid to run them. I've got a good pair a stock shocks, and a pair of "Premium Heavy Duty" shocks that you are welcome to try for a while to see if that helps. Don't have any gas shocks though. Give me a call if you want to use them. Another thought: it's fairly common on dune buggys to remove one or more of the torsion springs to soften up the ride. Unfortunately, I don't think you can't tell without tearing apart the beam. I'd try shocks first and see what happens........

Actually.. if you clean up the end of the control arms, you should be able to see all the torsions in there.. if I remember right..

Brad, you may be right. Ball joint type is capped. But the early ones are open.

I have a set of new KYG gas shocks for a Type-1 '66 and later.

I don't know if they will fit, but you're welcome to give them a go if they do.

I won't be putting them on until I do my front end and that is a few weeks off.

Oh.. ball joints are capped... didn't think of that. I just remembered the older ones being open.

Well I just broke down and spent the $17 each for the two front gas shocks at Napa. Seems to help, but I did notice that the driver's side sits about 3/4 of an inch lower than the pass side, any ideas?
