Re: 72 2wd blazer build
Don't ask bagged74, ask his wife. She will give you the real story. From what I heard the VW spanked him good. His story was he went up in smoke, but I think he just got.....

His story might have been believeable were it not for the ever-so-slight roll of his significant-others eyes while he told his tale . . ......

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
Well, that kind of thing is pretty common in my other world (hi-po VWs). It's pretty common nowadays for a street driven VW to run 11's and I know of one that runs in the nines. Of course his other aircooled 4 cylinder VW runs in the 6's at over 220mph!

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
it was an R32 GTi( all wheel drive for those who dont know), so traction was the deciding factor.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
I never get tired of seeing these things on the ground! Looks amazing... and can't wait to see it with the "real wheels"!
I may just have to get myself a blazer...

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
Oh sure, the forum gets "real" pics. All I get is crappy cell phone pics. Does this mean you don't love me any more?
Ooops, did I say that out loud.... Here's a teaser.

Geez.
He doesn't even send you one with tires. I don't think he does love you anymore.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
Ahhhh a thing of beauty! For some reason I seem to like the half-assembled mock-up pics the best... definitely my favorite part.

Re: 72 2wd blazer build
I do use all of my notch, but mines only 6.5" not the full 8. It could definitely be done with a little crafty fabrication
