near the Ecotec engine I guess

Radiator is inside, just in front of the motor. I talked to him and they are mid-boards.

Post by: fabr on February 18, 2010, 06:42:23 AM
I thought so. For those that don't know of midboards-let's just say$$$$$$$. Adds a couple $K to a build.

Good for travel though! Longer axle length to get less CV angle in a given space....correct?
Title: Re: Long Travel Baja Bug for sale
Post by: fabr on February 20, 2010, 09:57:35 AM
Bingo!. That's why I went with mids.

Yeah, I couldn't afford em, but 18" in an 1800lb car is not too bad if you get the coils/valving right! I love my two stage spring setup rides nice and smooth but is stiff as hell if I need it!

Does this get much air flow on the rad being inside like that? 
Title: Re: Long Travel Baja Bug for sale
Post by: Whiplash on February 22, 2010, 05:22:25 PM
Probably relies on the fans...
Title: Re: Long Travel Baja Bug for sale
Post by: Yummi on February 22, 2010, 06:08:12 PM
Wonder how much heat is then pumped into the cabin?
Title: Re: Long Travel Baja Bug for sale
Post by: Whiplash on February 22, 2010, 06:16:37 PM
If its anything like the sand cars, not much if any, the fans carry the heat out not in and they move a good amount of air if they are any good...

He only took it out a couple times but never complained about the heat or overheating.

So this bad boy get sold?
Title: Re: Long Travel Baja Bug for sale
Post by: Punkur67 on October 15, 2010, 02:44:09 PM
Nope. He wants to sell it but doesnt need to. If he does he will build another but a little more tame. I know deep down he doesnt want to. He is like many of us who sells a project as soon as its done only to start another one. I dont think he is trying very hard. I think he lists it every couple weeks locally and thats all.
