There are 12 vw shops here in Bkk! Most sales vintage and repro part. We dont have Flat4 distributor here. All parts for cal-look bug we've got here are imported from State or Japan :-) Drop me your e-mail if you have precise plan to Thailand. napat@thaivwclub.comAll cal-looker are welcome :-) |

 Very cool to see you guys back on the Lounge again! You have great looking cars, and they sit mean to...!! What are the tire dimensions you use up front? or rear? Wish I knew you guys were around when I visited back in 99. Of course we know Anders Roman, he's a regular here I see you have air condition on your cars, were they fitted from facory? or are they DIY? Again super cool cars! |

Of course we know Anders Roman, he's a regular here I see you have air condition on your cars, were they fitted from facory? or are they DIY? Again super cool cars! Nop, no a/c system from the factory, but.. this style installation is common in Thailand. Normally, we use sunden 505 as compressor. The condensing unit's located above transmission or/and in front of the front beam. You would die out here if you run in Bangkok without a/c.  For the tire dimension, 185-55 is very popular for up front refer to limit tire size available in Thailand. 135s or 145s also available, but it's quite expensive since we have to import. You might see some our car's member put 135s up front included mine. And, 205-65 or 215-65 are popular for the rear.  |

Some use 185/55 porfile tyre in the front and 205/65 in rear. The rest runs 135/82 in front and 215/65 :-) For lowering our bug we buy drop spindle from State and we do produce our own narrow beam ourself. :-)  Drawing by CNC machine.  Developpe the beam.. latest one is the black beam. We also produce the sway bar too.  Paint :-)  TVC stand for thaivwclub.com  Lunch!    For the A/C unit. We install it later on our bug. As Thailand is very hot country. Most bug got to have it :-) |

Those beams look nicely done.

WOW I never knew Thailand had such a thriving scene! There are so many nice cars in your club! Do you guys come from far to meet or are you all local to Bankok? Also I love the fact the for us UK guys you drive on the correct side of the road and have RHD dubs, I presume that with the climate your cars are pretty rust freen to start with? Regards, Rob. |
