1 maja wyścigi... kto jedzie (startować i jako widz)?

Kendy- I wouldn't be so keen to invite other Beetles to your little slalom/hill climb/Drag race if I were you. I would say that your Beetle probably has more torque and HP than Paluch's, but Paluch's is much better prepared for a Drag race than your car is, from what I remember. Seriously though, as our Beetles get faster and faster, I think a better venue would be both safer for the cars racing and for the spectators watching.
I must say that I am very jealous that it was in fact you who organised the first Beetle Drag racing in Poland and not me.
The 500zl prize money sounds good, but I think it would cost Paluch about that in fuel to travel there and back.
It would have been great if some more of you guys from the distant regions of Poland had shown your Beetles at Bemowo Sad .

Kendy, nie zapraszalbym tak ochoczo innych Garbusow na twoj maly wyscig slalomowo-gorsko-1/4milowy. Powiedzialbym ze twoj Garbus ma przypuszczalnie wiekszy moment i moc niz Palucha, ale Paluch jest duzo lepiej przygotowany do startow na 1/4 z tego co pamietam. Serio juz mowiac, jako ze nasze Garbusy staja sie coraz szybsze, mysle ze lepsze miejsce na wyscigi byloby bezpieczniejsze zarowno dla startujacych jak i widzow.
Musze przyznac ze jestem bardzo zazdrosny o fakt ze to tak naprawde Ty zorganizowales pierwsze wyscigi garbusowe w Polsce a nie ja.
500zl nagroda pieniezna brzmi dobrze, ale musle ze tyle mniej wiecej kosztowalo by Palucha paliwo tam i spowrotem.
Byloby super widziec wiecej z was, mieszkajacych w bardziej odleglych miejscach w Polsce, ze swoimi Garbusami na Bemowie

More information please. What is the weight of the car? What will it be used for? Is the engine turbocharged? If we are talking about street Beetles, then 500NM is more than you could possibly use. Even so, if you wish to do this the best options are 911 gearboxes or, to keep things VW, late T2 (about 1980). The T2 gearbox is heavier than a T1 , but much stronger and will hold 400NM in a Beetle in street use. For racing these gearboxes can be strengthened even more, but you will need about 15-20K zl for all the parts to build a full strength racing T2 gearbox. The negative aspect of using his gearbox is that it has a lazier shift than a Beetle gearbox.
The main problem with any gearbox is the rate at which torque is transfered via the clutch to the gearbox. The faster this is done the greater the risk of gearbox destruction.
