Do yall not have any junk yards ? Also bus trannys are hard to come by. I think you will find an 1850 vw is faster than it sounds, them vws are running little motors

ok thanks guys, would this be a good choice compared to the previous one the red 1835cc.?







2387 stroker with dry sump oil system, it has 044 super flow heads 1.25 ratio rockers all cb performance internals has a mad 6al box with built in rev limiter. Has almost new cut boggers on the back 33/14.5 on duralite aluminum bead locks. Has 3x5 trailing arms with torsion eliminators. Have fox 2.0 air shocks on the back. Single handle cutter brake, wilwood clutch an brake pedals an master cylinders. Aluminum wheels an homeplates on the front

thanks sorry for all the posts

I don't think those are super flows unless the got the conversion covers. And 044 are a different head anyways

I can't see the pics in large on this app for some reason .. but if it has that stuff it sounds like not a bad deal , I would be careful getting a sooped up car , I know I know !!!!!! Everyone wants a bad ass fast buggy(including me) .. but with big hp the reliability goes right out the window plus every time it does brake it cost $$$$$$$ to fix it .
Food for thought.

i was thinking about the same thing, between this one 2387 stroker and the 1835cc is there a big difference in power and reliability? i will doing trails, hill climbs and mudding

Honestly I don't know a lot about vws but I do know I have 2.3 ford aspirated and it's pretty fast , but again it depends on buggy weight. I had a friend who had 1600 dual port on a 1000lb buggy and it was pretty quick ! Faster than my 2000lb 2.3 buggy

I started with a 1835, now i have a 2387 and there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE...its very reliable i beat on it pretty hard..

ok yes i figure weight is important.

is it possible to make these buggies with more ride height like 2-3 feet or more ground clearance?

thanks

Anything is possible , but I would not go high!!! It will fudge up the center of gravity and then u will have a jeep lol I like 12 to 16 in of suspension travel with 33s on the rear and 30s on the front , if u Wana do 3 ft of clearance I'd go get a rock crawler

I wouldn't go to big on the tires expecially if you are going to run it hardcore, it will cause extra wear and tear on the tranny, cv,s, trailing arms, ect,...

alright i got another question for you guys

i found this only 1:30 hr away from my house.

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-achat-et-vente-d ... nFlag=true


do you think there is potential? i can remove the engine and sell it and put a bigger one and add some metal tubing under and around the engine for protection?

i really like this one

but its gonna cost 1000$ for gaz since hes 20hrs away!

Not trying to be mean but I wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole, to much work not many good parts, the 2 other buggys u are looking at are 4 times better

alright thanks. i really dont know much but im learning!

I would guess you could get it shipped for half that.


"Don't believe everything you read on the Internet."--Abraham Lincoln

I completely agree. The frame needs to entire rear cage, the trans looks like a swing axle so the trans and torsion housing will need to be replaced. The engine is too small. There is not much to that buggy that you would not touch.

I would fly down and look at it then have it shipped , may cost the same but I hate buying it with out driving it

If it makes u feel any better I drove 15 hr to get my buggy

Posted using the WoodsBuggy Mobile App

Thanks! i actually googled your username and found pictures of it.

it a really nice buggy i like the look of it!

and yea it would be best if i actually it its a 40hr round trip which is not small hahah my father has people he knows that are truckers so i might get a good deal to get it hauled.

Just take ur dad or friend and make a trip out of it go sight seeing and have fun

yea its just because my budget is tight, for round trip 4000km total with my dads truck which is a v8 does about 14liter/100km on highway with light pulling so thats around 700$ plus trailer rental since i dont have one, so i will make my decision for what buggy and then make my plans and will drive there with a friend or my father hopefully he pays the gaz hahaha or i will trust the seller and get this bad ass buggy shipped right to my door

-- or can i take a mini car trailer that just the front wheels go on the trailer? or this is a bad idea?


what engine was in that buggy before you sold it Nribuggys and it was in good condition i guess?

I wouldn't put it on a car dolly !! If it jumps in gear engine will burn up , plus it will eat up the rear tires ,

I would buy a good one even if it cost more , you get what you pay for

alright i will look on craiglist
