lol, idk.... I'm back up in Urbana for school and i'm not sure if my brother is getting anything done on the car at home...

When I left, we had everything prepared, just in pieces. Subframes need to go in, then suspension, then we can get the engine/trans in, then steering and accessories, then wiring, then finish it up. Not to mention, there is still bondo work to be done, which will then lead to paint...

There's plenty left, and I really wished I did more during the summer....

Yessir! The motor is a B18c5 from an Integra Type-R. Should be making about 180whp with mad VTEC. It's gonna be fast as fuhhhhhhhh!

Finished test driving my mom's new car. VW Beetle TDi. My feedback?

Cons:
Seats are so stiff! I won't be able to do long drive.
Steering is way too stiff. This isn't a race car, don't need this much stiffness.
Suspension setup isn't right for daily driving.
Coming to full stop slowly have a bit of problem. (AT trans).
You thought, FRS/BRZ was gutless, oh no! This sucker is so gutless at low end w slow turbo kick.

Pros:
Looks a lot better than gen before
Gears up & down decently smoothly.
After boost kicks in, it's bout right HP.

Overall, I would never see myself buying Beetle TDi. Not because it lack HP or stiff seats or any of those. Concept of this car was great... Just it's lacking so much stuff. Unless I spent extra $3~4k w after market parts, it won't be comfortable DD car.
