2002 madness

[benetton]

the next 2002 i get is getting an s50. no way around it. i loved my old car and it was so fun to drive, but it would have been even better if it had been fast. i remember when i took the back seat out along with all the sound proofing and the bumpers. it was loud, but man was it light! i need to find a friend who will let me drive his or her 2002! i miss it so much! lol!

s50=heavy but there are quite a few 2.5 liter s14 beasts running around and even with an m20 you cant keep the rear planted... and then there's the turbo m20 car in florida that eats diffs for lunch.

man I miss my 02.
1974 white love... mmmmmmm......

haha. so anyways. Your car looks so sick. I miss that old 4spd.... haha

never got around to the 5spd swap. then the motor blew and i didn't have the cash flow to get it up and running again... I had to let it go for $400... :( :( :(

To get an S50/M50 in a deuce your going to have to move the motor back, there is pretty much no way around it. Once a good chunk of that weight moves back behind the front axle the problem isn't nearly as bad. Then boost the shit out it.:p

The most I've had was driving oldskool Volkswagens.

E30's are a close second.

And yet you shit on 914s in an earlier post, you have no idea how good those cars are.

914's suck to work on and are slow as Christmas without a six.

My POS VW Ghia would wax any stock 4 cylinder 914.

Next time your coming up to Sacramento drop me a IM, you'll love mine.

There has been a few changes since this picture, but you get the idea.

Well no shit, a modded Ghia would wax a stock 914. Your just full of revelations aren't ya.

They are actually very easy to work on, the only downside was the cost of building a good type 4 motor compared to a type 1 aircooled.

That's just a waste. The car will be too front heavy to deal with that type of added power and that will eat into the fun factor as well.

I will build an aluminum blocked twin cam 02 with the motor set back so its balanced. you still wont like it so i will paint a mans anus on the hood and put a cock n balls hood ornament on it to make you fall in love with it

Ask me how I know... I built a 2270cc T4 that went into a 63 Bug with a T1 conversion fan. After that, I dropped it into a 74 914. I'm sorry, but a stock 914 (even 4 cyl) will kick a ghia's ass any day.

But yes, the build cost of a properly prepared T4 motor is $$$$$.

My particular Ghia had a 2110 with stainless rods, an Engle 110 cam, 10 lb chromoly flywheel, Cima 90.5's and dual Dellorto 45's with a freeway flyer close ratio trans.

No stock 914 could touch it.

You aren't high at all.....by any stretch of the imagination
1st pix is deceiving

No stock 914 could touch it in a straight line.

Finished that off for you.

I have had a ton of aircooled VW's. 15 at least, bugs, busses, a 70 ghia. They handle like shit. 914's are amazing handling cars from the factory.
