I have a full set of the dark grey and red seats if they're any use?

Creak in Lupo tailgate
DannyParanoid replied to bilko2000's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
I had a rattle and it was the boot latch, bit of electrical tape around it (bodge job) and it soon stopped! -
installing amp and speaker box
DannyParanoid replied to LowerclassLupo's topic in Interior and In-Car Entertainment
I found the ground loop isolator didn't work in the slightest with my whine, neither did running cables on different sides. I had to re-earth the outside of the head unit RCA cables, just did it onto the chassis of the head unit and boom, problem solved! -
ah I have that, well ish, at the moment! reclining buckets that were a cheapo ebay rubbish thing but they look a bit like mk5 r32 recaro buckets, good enough for a start, but thinking of maybe selling up this year or next, depending on funds!
-
Ah fair enough! Might be a plan if I ever retire the Lupo as a playtoy rather than a daily then! Cheers!
-
Can I just ask how you fitted the harnesses? Thinking about getting some for mine but not sure on fitting them!
-
Based on the fact it's a low mileage gti i'd go air, sensible driving height and silly low parked height, best of both worlds! Almost regret putting hydro's on my 1.0 since it's on nearly 90k now but it's still good fun!
-
My lenso's are 7j et20, i'll sort out a couple of pictures later so you can see what they fit like, but they're pretty tight on the rear with stretched tyres and rolled arches!

Fitting bucket seats?
DannyParanoid replied to Gina_0605's topic in Interior and In-Car Entertainment
I made some brackets for mine, that bolted onto the front mount of the lupo and onto the top of the runners, that then bolted onto the runners that came with the seats, I can take some photos when it's a bit lighter tomorrow if you want? -
lupo 1.4 to 1.4 sport rear bumper and exhuast
DannyParanoid replied to jparkes43's topic in Volkswagen Lupo
Its a case of cutting your old wheel well out and either getting a sport one to weld in or just welding a plate over the hole i think, not so bad if you can fabricate things well! -
Ah crap! Thats not good but I know how you feel! Almost 4 years ago i did the same thing with my first car (corsa, yuk!) but I wasnt so lucky, car was completely written off and i ended up with a bad neck and back like you! Hope it gets better soon!
-
Could be because of the fuel tank being slightly to that side, mine sat the same on coils due to the higher weight that side!
-
I'm gunna get on this tonight when I get in from work! They look good!
-
If they fit on a mk4 polo then with the correct adapders they should bolt straight on!
-
You'll be fine at standard height, but you'll struggle to get properly low on 195/50/15's (unless my lupo was just a strange one) i had to fit 165/50/15 tyres and that still didnt stop it scrubbing completely
-
I have the et20 on my Lupo and had to have my arches rolled and stretched tyres to stop the scrubbing, but i was fairly low at the time, sensible height and you may get away with just rolled arches and a bit of camber
-
What was done with mine was the hydraulic rams were welded into my original shocks, and there's a fancy little monoshock assembly in the back for each corner, ill try and take some photos for you if you'd like?

Arnold the Arosa Sport (Picture Heavy) * SNOW PICTURE!*
DannyParanoid replied to jbarrows's topic in Member's Cars
I think when I did my wheel the resistor was actually a small blade fuse, and i'm sure i read something somewhere that once the light is on you have to reset it to make it go, whether that be with vagcom or disconnecting the battery may do it! -
My hydro's cost £2590 including all fitting and notching of the chassis needed to get it lower. Was done at Rayvern Hydraulics, have a google!
