| Description |
| Old, beat up, but the interior is very nice, mechanically it's perfect, and you can't beat the MPG! |
| Modifications |
Larger diameter, less restrictive exaust
cold air duct to the standard intake.
modified the fuel injection pump to stop the rev limiter from cutting off fuel at higher rpm's.
rims from a 1996 vw and low profile tires
vegi- oil system.
synthetic transmission fluid
Brake system from a GTI- Larger front discs,rear disc brakes, and larger brake booster
interior from a GTI- Recarro seats!
vechicle runs successfully on used or old frying oil, transmission fluid, kerosine, engine oil, #1 or #2 fuel oil- basicly, if it pours, I can run on it. (no more than 10% gasoline, though)
|
| Planned Modifications |
looking at adding a full length belly pan, switching from cold air intake to hot air intake.
Fantasy: Addition of a 20HP hydraulic motor, an accumulator, and a rocker switch mounted on the shift nob to control it.
I figure this will give me my own diesel/hydraulic hybrid!
