I actually jacked up the back today to get to see the right height. Looked even better, too bad the front always jacks up as well  I might put myself to the task of raising the rear tomorrow with a little help of my brother. 1 outer spline should sort it, i hope?

And they should be after you, fit that new beam a.s.a.p. I reckon raising the rear will suffice, i think the empty space between tyre and fender should be similar on the front and back. And if i do both, my 145s will probably scratch the fenders. I have avis adjuster and only 2 teeth left i think, 1 tooth is quite a lot. Just look at those early pics i posted on the other forum, it was slammed back then when i bought it  |

1 outer spline should sort it, i hope? I think 1 outer spline could be too much. Look at the pic, this is my bug before it became cool It was lowered 1 outer spline at the back and looks lower than yours. Maybe you should measure the amount to be raised. cheers andi |

The time the beetle ran out of the production line they had some pos. camber, all bugs do have this. So i've lowered them one inner spline, and one outer notch up, so most of the positive camber is out  Don't go to high diederick, or you'll get positive camber... with the 205/70 tyres you'll get a bit higher as well.. |

a little positive camber looks pretty good imho... most old gassers and fast lookers have it...

short vid i just made:
<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/54d4LXRUBp0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/54d4LXRUBp0</a>]]>hoping to have an even better sound once my kadrons arrive and i get the chance to carry out my little plan still this is definitely better than the peashooters, though those didn't bang when stepping off the throttle at high rpm. |

The video you have requested is not available.
If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process. Are those imperial minutes or something... I'm waiting for a while now, but I still can't see the movie... |

Hello!
Yes thats my car, but I ordered a A1 muffler with low down merged exhaust. Tiger is working on my exhaust, so within two weeks it should be on the car. Currently working on the car, there is always something you want to change...........
And the article in the newspaper is dennis'bleu bug, but the reporter got the whole story wrong! I believe dennis never would do it again.
Greetings
Mark

Hello, i would like to introduce myself. My name is Dennis ;and i'm the owner of the blue late looker on the artikel on keversite.nl. First of all : What a cool forum is this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice to know that cal look isn't totally dead in the netherlands! When you visit aircooled events around here you only see bad "restored" cars on high heels with tar overspray on the fenders (and some people they want to create the smallest disco on earth in their bug) hate that!!!!!! My car is actually a mexico bug swapped on a'68 automatic pan. Whit this car i would like to represent the late lookers on the scene. It got on the road one week for spa 2006 after a three year during restoration. It now runs a 33 year old 1600 unit with dual kadrons and a merged header, stil drives a top speed of 165 km/h with the use of a At gearbox!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy shit don't you think? Now i'm getting some parts together to build an 78 X 90,5 engine with dual 44 webers I will post some nice pictures of my looker next time. have fun, Mr Pedrini..... |

Yo Eddie!!!! You do have a nice car also, i saw it in real life in Budel (don't know what year) but i was verry impressed  . Maby you shouldn't swap your tele-dial wheels couse they're really cool!!!! I only would put some 205/70 tires on the back for giving the car some more cal-look stance. Our cars have simulair styles don't you think? Do you have some more pictures of it you want to share? Greetz, Mr Pedrini..... |

Hey Boys and Girls, let me introduce myself. I started the FDK stuff with the confidence that we could profile ourselves against the rest of the Dutch Standard Scene. (could be a club name... DSS... ). My car is a '84 Jubi, currently running a 78 x 94 Engine, 044 Heads done by myself, WebCam etc., DTM cooling system, 44 IDF's (shitty carbs) , Freeway Flyer Tranny, Discs on all corners and 4 bolt Flat Fours. Before i knew this Forum i drifted off to the Street Racer Look, but seeing the pictures of you guys i'm going back to my (Cal-Look) Roots. Hope i can send pictures soon. So brmmark, Mr. Pedrini we are complete! |
