Hot-rodding the Toyota MGR

The MGR has some Toyota HSD magic to limit the back-EMF. It's up-thread I am sure.

I look at parts and they don't assemble themselves, too. Sometimes I restack them. Still nothing.

One goal is to mount the fiberglass fender skirts I got for the Superbeetle. When I talked to this guy at Bonneville he said the reason they weren't camo is that he had trouble mounting them.



The SUPERBeetle has the 'long-long' axles and they interfere with the latching mechanism. What I want is a Type II gas flap door latch at the top of the skirt that I can open with the 'churchkey'.

edit: Looking at that picture I think I can see how to make a splitter/dive plane/air curtain for the Beetle front fender.

Giga factory isn't much to look at outside. Much like all the other warehouses out there You want to get inside to see the magic.

Should be copies much closer to you.

Long long axles?
