Aircooled VW South Africa

This was in last month Volks World mag. I came in contact with one of the guys that help build this car for Dave Forder. Some info out of Volks World mag and Photos that was send to me.

Dave Forder wanted a 500-horsepower Beetle that would beat an M3 on the road, and go round the twisty bits, and knock on the door of 10s on the strip. And you know what, he might just achieve it.

Wow all that power with a Kennedy stage 2 clutch ! I have recently replaced the clutch on my bus with a KEP stage 2 clutch and was a little concerned about the clutch setup in general , but not anymore !

Jip, and his running a porsche 915 pressure plate on top of that, with a ring gear and release bearing. big $$$$ there.
