VW Subaru Dune Buggy Ride Along Testing GoPro, Michelin tires & Brakes 

Thank you for the comment. The key start thing - too funny ya brought that up. Something in the take it for granted now pile!!!. Seeing how you brought that up I remember people saying that the VW starter didn't have enough umph to crank the Subie. I'm using a Bosch 73 SB starter, thought this might help someone. I enjoy that so much when people post on board video's of their rides. It gives so much more of a perspective of what it is like in their ride!

Hey, glad you liked it. I'm looking forward to getting some action vid's together (different vehicles) with the GoPro on board. It's so much more fun to beat on the equipment when the camera is running!

Very nice Jeff! Starts at a "touch of the key" and pulls hard. I'm a convert...I would like to install one or two myself. Thanks for the update sir

Really glad you enjoyed the vid's. These type of projects can take a while to finish but if a few tips can save one some time & money that's better yet!

Hi, glad u enjoyed the ride. Now just for fun - The inside story. At first I was way more aggressive on the driving yet. The camera was on for a while before I took off. Then I'd take off & come back to review to find It only recorded the first ~ ~ seconds each time. Finally figured it out that if I left it cool, turn it on & go I could gather a bit of footage for watching & producing. This sure made it harder to concentrate on making a video!! GoPro has been very kind, gonna replace the camera.

Yeah those GoPro cameras are very additive. It seems no one can come close to the picture quality. Objects sure come up fast when your only in a parking lot!

The replacement camera from GoPro is working perfect. Have been working on some custom camera mounts for different vehicles and an auxiliary mic setup for better sound & minimal wind noise. Ordered more parts to mod & build camera mounts. Can hardly wait for Friday :>)

Jim, Thank You for your kind comment & glad you enjoyed the video!

Wow that thing Fires Right Up. After watching that video I'm pretty convinced just a NA Subaru swap would be more than enough power

love the buggy man and the ammo can idea is killer. I'm trying to get all the bugs worked out on my suby2.2L T into vw squareback. love the tips.

Hi Bob, That sure is one large play area you guy's have!!

That thing is frikkin' insane!

nice buggy, I love the GoPro footage, i own the GoPro 2, i put mine on my rolbar the took a long trip over the colorado mountains. I bought AVS4YOU program and edited everything i could,Installed music video effects etc...

We wanna see a burn out from the go pro in a circle ! And the side shot go pro has great sound

It's a sweet ride dude

Beats my Grand Am any day... And the sound of that Subie!

Looks like the wild life is in the car this time! Ha ha!!!! This is an awesome car.

Still got it? Love that vehicle, would be a perfect daily driver for me in San Diego. How's it running? Still got it?

we drive 972 miles to run those trails.

Do these buggies handle the same as a VW super beetle?

Where did you get that tilt from?

what transaxle did you use and what engine is in this

Is there anyway to contact you through skype or facebook because i live in the middle east and i was considering a subaru swap on my vw bug and i need lots of info on that project and it seems you are quite an expert :) anyway this is my skype ismail.wahba
