With its territory marked, the wild Super Beetle strikes out in search for its favorite prey, dollars.

Stardotstar posted:Jesus god man, do you just know this stuff off the top of your head? You're like the Rainman of VWs. This is the level of commitment that these cars appear to demand. Imagine, you're on the side of the road and your car bursts into flames. In a Japanese car the problem solving procedure is something like this: 1. Oh poo poo oh poo poo oh poo poo 2. Holy loving poo poo what 3. Collect insurance cheque The ACVW problem solving procedure for the same issue is something like: 1. It's 9am already? 2. Beat out flames with bare hands while still inside the car, ideally through engine fire access hole in cabin 3. Car wasn't moving when it combusted, therefore you only need to check the most common fuel leak locations - 16.5 through 37 - in the owners manual.

Geirskogul posted:In reality, it's to save on running wattage. I've put a voltmeter on while running and I'm noticing a low dip around town at night with the headlights on (PO did a higher-wattage headlight conversion, I think it has silverstar ultras in there now, they're awesome). Of course, when I put the 55 Amp alternator on there, maybe this is all for naught. I do like how the turn signals "snap" into view instead of fading on like an incandescent bulb, though. That's got to grab more attention, and is the primary reason I did the conversions on both of my motorcycles. I was actually thinking about this exact same thing the other day. LED headlights/turn signals should save massively on wattage, but what car would exist where a headlight puts a noticeable strain on its electrical system? Now I have the answer. I like it, though. Too bad the Peterson "sealed beam replacement" LED headlights are still so expensive ($182 US a side from RockAuto). Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Jun 4, 2014 |

Did you try polishing the bumpers with wet tinfoil yet?

Wow, that looks a lot better than before! How did you polish the car up? How long did it take?

Yeah all I could tell from that picture was that it was a solid-state motorcycle fuse/relay box because I just replaced one. I would expect that someone's made a cheaper version of this, probably one of the powersports standalone ECU manufacturers ( Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Feb 18, 2015 |

Man that's a huge oil cooler. ACVWs get all the fun toys  How much is that supposed to knock off, say, idling in stop and go traffic engine temperatures?
