Now with 150 hp (atmo), I can drive right in the middle japans car. It'snt easy but I'm not afraid because I usually drive on circuit with other beetles. A amateur Beetle grip Challenge, the Daily Driver CUP :

Looks cool sideways! The oversteer looks kind of snappy though. I wonder if you could do something to make that back end a little more slippery?

Thank for your reply. :P

No LSD, no turbo, no hand-breaking .. just feint drift or power drift !!

Suspansion are the standard KYB strong the shopVW dealers deals. But I adjust the wheel trains.
