how are the maxx struts?
i’m considering to go with those struts in the future, and the full front suspension upgrade…what is your opinion on topline in general?

ok, i was in my garage trying to fix the throttle on my 73′ super. in my attempts, i dismantled the air intake and the carb. after fixing the problem i continued to put the parts back together and re-install them, i tried to turn it on and it wouldn’t even try to turn over. anyone have any suggestions?

For a fraction of the cost (compared to those top notch cars) it is impressive what you can do with a beetle, and best of all is that you can do it your self…

I continue to AutoX this year and the car is handling great. I need stickier tires. The front brake to rear braking needs a different balance as the fronts lock too soon. If you have never done it, check one out near you. And try it!!!

Awsome! How did you do?
