Before you hit the PLAY button - can you guess what Haltech ECU is used in this car? Bet you can't....

Baja is from a region in Mexico, and the J pronounced as an H in Spanish.

Very awsome ! I currently have my stock bottom end 1uz making 781whp. It's made that power for the last 4 years 💪 These engines take a lot of abuse !

[danaburdett]

Do you have 1uz base tunes with your ecu's?

[lockjawjak]

Green coolant on a toyota engine? Blasphemy!! Long live the UZ though, I have nearly finished an A70 supra race car with a GTX3582r slapped on a built 1UZ in front of a t56, running an old PS2000 that a mate had lying around atm to keep the budget down but always room for upgrades down the track ;) I can't wait to hear what it sounds like <3

Another great episode Scotty and made better for this Volkswagen fan. Not unlike the Volkswagen’s of days gone by, It’s simplicity getting the job done - and looking cool doing it.

Love the video. Shared it and liked. Please more of the same, love the offbeat cars

[billymanilli]

Having the radiator right behind the seats scares me after that incident at Cleetus' burnout contest!

[makingconnections]

Good video. I just wish you could have shown the car with the body off as well

[benkingston]

I guess an Elite 1500 or even older. Regardless, thanks for the content and mixing it up, all still very interesting. Keep it up.

Finally, a UZ-powered car, even though it's a buggy.

[ИванАндреев-ут]

Hello! Tell me, please, what gearbox is installed on the buggy?

[Lusty_]

Looks a beast.. you missed the most important bit though... Does she wheelie 🤔😏😈😈

[jesus_built_my_hotrod]

Upside down in a lake on fire. How does that work 🤣

[bvward]

Scott, Not to nitpick, but @2:50 It's "Bah-hah" per Spanish language etymology ;) Bah-Jah sounds like a spicy item on a menu!

1UZ is hidden tuning reliable gem, keep them hidden. Best V8 ever made. LS is boat anchor against 1UZ.

[vintagetractorsaustralia]

I’d love to drop a 1uz in my kingswood

I'm a big fan of the KISS method. It's a thing.
Umm, Keep It Simple Stupid.
That's me. KISS.

[darens]

Ouch! That funny bone sure does tingle! 7:35

[myfriendpete]

Not a bug. Its a dirt car with a bug body on it
