mushrat Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 It's got a 1600cc VW bug engie. Not a lot of power per se, but it doesn't have to push a lot of weight. I've had it up over 70 mph on I-40. And yes, straight pipes with Baja exhauset. It's LOUD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProbablyTaken Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Barely. In many states, all you need to get a plate is signals and headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 heh, ok, the turn signalls are installed and working. Only incinerated 2 wires in the process...man insulation smells bad and the yellow thick smoke..ugh.Only thing left is to find out if it needs hazard blinkers by law. If not. Hello insurance, tags, and inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello insurance, tags, and inspection.idk for sure but it seems like hazard signals would be really easy if you already have turn signals installed...would just be a matter of wiring it correctly and what nots..looks awesome. congrats on getting it working Edited August 25, 2009 by K1024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyj316 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 That picture makes me think I should get a Basset rather than a Great Dane... Although, I think a Great Dane would look just as awesome with those goggles.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go the a local rescue and find a calm, loving, abused MUTT and give it the home it deserves.It does need hazards. I think im going to just wire in a seperate blinker set up and attach it to the light wires. dont want to get too complex if i ever have to fix something.
