peoples 01 ss 03-12-2010 09:02 AM

yea the dung beetle lol hey wht how do those cherry bombs sound im thinkin about buyin a pair

ChibiBlackSheep 03-12-2010 09:09 AM

You hardly have any modifications that will really give you an edge. The CAI and the Downpipe being the only ones, but you don't even have a tune on that car, so you aren't getting the most out of mods.

monte07 03-12-2010 10:48 AM

you can get a bunch of aftermarket parts for the turbo beetle at the dealer to have it go fast. thats one of the reason why i dont really like amarican dealers do to that they dont want to have after market add ons exept for ford. gm is slowly learning that fact on having a list of things that they can order and mod for some of there cars but it is getting there. i just wish gm learned that before they needed help. the best way for gm to make sales is to have after market parts for there line up. they finnally have a after market for there trucks small but growing aftermarket for there popular cars and small but growing for the rest.

monte07 03-12-2010 10:52 AM

but on the bright note i did keep up with a non-turbo beetle but i just wish that i can get a frkn tune for my car for the two things i did. better exaughst and a cia i finnally got. the tune i am talkin about is having the pcm and the tcm tuned better for those two options. i know i have bigger injectors do to it being flexfuel but i would like to have it optimise with the cia and exaughst.

wht02monte 03-12-2010 11:39 AM

the cherry bombs are great sounding, very very unique, id like to put up some sound clips but my camera sounds shtty and i just dont know what else to do??? but i highly reccomend you try to find some sound clips before you buy but i also highly reccomend them they got such a cool sound. but i also have the downpipe and that REALLY changed the sound.
oh, i got the 3400 too looks like you got the 3800, might be a big difference in sound.

monte07 03-12-2010 12:25 PM

its a dung beetle with down syndrom the car is always smiling at people if you look at it and imagine a face

Cowboy6622 03-12-2010 12:26 PM

I would have never thought it... did you get to talk to the driver? He could have some pretty heavy mods in that car!

TheMonteMan 03-12-2010 12:50 PM

i dont think its all that shocking for a turbo beetle if thats what it was to beat an almost stock 3.4 monte. and on the whole gm not selling performance or aftermarket stuff isnt really true. the cobalt had a ton of things that could be purchased through the dealer and be dealer installed and what not.

peoples 01 ss 03-12-2010 12:56 PM

yea i herd cherry bombs on a bonniville and somthin else wit a 3800 i think they sound great (on cpu) ya no, but yea i think im gonna get them for my monte

True, most Cobalts you see on the road probably have the Stage 2 upgrade from GM. Besides those, most of them just do cosmetic mods.

wht02monte 03-12-2010 04:21 PM

nope didnt(wouldnt have) talk to him(couldnt even bring myself to make eye contact with him at the next stop light) but the thing sounded MEAN! and it was absolutly SLAMMED to the ground im talkin less than 2", and popping out sparks from the tail pipe when it shifted. and hey monte 07 it had those eyelid headlights LOL.
this guy looked rugged, what the hell was he doing driving a beetle?? he looked like he should have been driving a semi.

peoples 01 ss 03-12-2010 05:23 PM

he is jobless and cant afford his own car so he fixed up his girlfriends car lol

wht02monte 03-12-2010 06:57 PM

LOL you just keep em comin huh?

peoples 01 ss 03-13-2010 08:33 PM

yea dude i couldnt stop if i wanted to

mak330 03-13-2010 08:46 PM

what kind of engine does a turbo bettle have.

i raced a lowered, 1.8 turboed jetta and **** on it. i had a better jump, turbo lags a mutha f****. plus i think the guy was scarrd to hit a pothole.

P.S. it sounded cute when it spooled up though. i almost wanted to laugh.

its wierd that my cousins 2.0 civic si is faster then a 1.8 with a turbo. they probly dont run much boost from the factory though.

wht02monte 03-13-2010 08:59 PM

no wait when i said i couldnt make eye contact (i dont know what i was thinking) i meant there was a guy behind me when i raced that stupid thing, the beetle got by the stop light and i got stuck. the guy behind me pulled up next to me at teh stop light.

peoples 01 ss 03-13-2010 09:05 PM

i believe the turbo beetle and a tightly wound 6in rubber band and a conair hair dryer(turbo). if im not mistakin, the owners manual says so haha

wht02monte 03-13-2010 09:09 PM

well thats it im selling my monte and getting a beetle

its the 1.8t. they have a 2.5 also i think that in the later years with no turbo. that should be quicker. the 1.8 cars can go with a little work.

wht02monte 03-24-2010 09:14 PM

alright guys i found this guy at walgreens the other day and had a little talk with him about his car...
anyway hes got teh whole power train is swaped from an sti, you know the boxer or whatever and i guess its turboed i didnt actually see it though.

TheMonteMan 03-25-2010 12:36 PM

sounds like a lot of work for no apparent reason at all,but ok.

wht02monte 03-25-2010 02:41 PM

yeah he said including the car it was a 30g project, and im sure he had some reason he did it?

monte07 03-25-2010 09:45 PM

dude your not going to believe this not to long ago when i was at the gas station i was talking to a guy that has the turbo beetle. i wished that i could have had a sound bit of his horn. it literaly said im speacial not dumb and hug me im lonele. no joke i frekin wish that i could have gotten that sound bite or a video of it. my phone was actin up so i couldent get one.

wht02monte 03-25-2010 10:03 PM
