alright Darrin cant wait to see it run. Would be cool if they had that real street class out there and build a car for it. Really a challenge to get under 7 in the 8th NA in that class with pump gas. and full body car.
More dampening on the compression is what I'd change. Its going to be a fine line between planting the rear end or yanking the front end off the ground. But that's racing!
If you are viewing a video on youtube, you can pause the video then use the . key to move forward frame by frame and the , key to move backwards frame by frame!!
Rear torsion raise or at least the RLR 1” tranny raise- minimum 29 mm rear torsion bars and a different sump you can keep same capacity just make it wider and not so deep. You must have solid aluminum spring plate retainers and not stock type with rubber or those garbage red bushings right?
What’s so expensive about going racing? Your kids are all grown right? Do what you Love- go race, you only got one life to live Heck start a go fund me for race gas money…I’ll contribute 😁
3:27 good adjustable racing coil overs, assuming they'll fit back there, nothing a bit of very adjustable spring, compression and rebound damping wont fix. maybe just adjustable shocks without coil overs would do, assuming the torsion springs are correct for the total weight and transfer weight at launch. probably needs adjustable shocks on the front, keeping the nose down early on via rebound set tight, stops the front springs from catapulting it up on the sudden weight transfer. maybe add some to that some limiter snubbers in the rear so it cannot bottom so hard, also front if you wheel stand and slam the front. although limiting total travel can be negative many times. suspension tuning is a twelve headed beast for sure, but in general more spring is often not needed, if you can heavily control the compression and rebound both. that said, I'm no suspension expert and only know what I've learned over the years on various cars, bikes, trucks and other off-road junk. I know making minor changes was always key and having good video is a great tool. unlike years ago, it was bad video and all by eye trying to watch and recall exactly what was happening.

Really appreciate you breaking down the video like that.
Can’t wait to see you get back out there again.
Wow that's awesome... Can't wait to see your new Vw... Have a great week.
That's really cool, I did not realize how quick those bugs can be. Thanks for the video Darren.
Was great catching up and seeing your blast from the past! Can’t wait to see what you do next

Very cool Darrin! Always thought this car was fun to watch with all you get out of it.
Great information! Thanks for going through that with us.
Pretty cool stuff, I haven’t seen a breakdown on a VW Bug before.
I believe you when you say it's all off the shelf parts... if you see the skill you put into it...
Good to see and hear from your Darring!

Good stuff Darrin.
I hope to see you back at the track soon doing what you like. Been along time.

This is great content love it
Are your rear shocks the RLR QA1 or the New Strange
You want rear double adjustable, are yours?
Cool.
Nice info.

Cool 👍👍
Is that sump hitting? Not good. Maybe get a lower profile sump and wheelie bars?
