  1. Looking for someone in the uk with a 3L for some help.
  2. Sure is. do a bt of reading about it and you will see it knocks the sock off any other product out there, they have even done back to back tests on a rolling road.
  3. I have been using a product called diesel rhino, its been going nuts on the t4 forum and it seems to be working well. i get mine from here http://ffics.co.uk/ top guy
  4. HHHMMM , all interesting stuff. As we all know the TDI is a pretty nippy car, in its stripped out form i am getting 475 miles out of one tank of diesel which is roughly 81mpg, I really want to hit the 500 mile mark, i run it as low as i dare, ie when i can hear the pump buzzing i usually head for the fuel station in the 3years i have had the car i have only ran out once. But my god it really does go well now, my biggest gain mpg wise was ditching the PAS in favor for an old polo rack, that made a huge difference along with a set of very light weight RAYS wheels. thanks for some suspension info guys
  5. Also my lupo is absolutey and compleley stripped to the bone, zero interior and i mean zero, i have a gear lever,steering wheel,speedo , bucket seat and rev counter. last time i weighed it using corner scales it came to 895kg i have also taken quite a few more kgs from it since. so 1.2 tdi shocks wont be a problem.
  6. When you wind a coilover shock up ie to increase ride height you also make the spring stiffer by compressing it. Sucks
  7. Thats exactly what i am after, Lower. I have coilovers fitted at the moment but i find the ride to harsh, I also tried a set of lowering springs but they were crap, car bounced all over the place. I know that the 3L sits lower than a standard 1.4 TDI but not sure how much lower. im just looking for a bit lower while keeping my fillings intact.
  8. I am looking for front and rear shocks with springs. any help would be appreciated. cheers
  9. How do i find this " gear box thread " ??? i am looking for 2 gearboxes one for my tdi and another for a mates 1.4 petrol.
  10. Hi all, does anybody have a petrol 5spd gearbox for a 2001 lupo. or what other seat models will fit. Any help much appreciated. Box Code DXP
  11. A while ago im sure i read a post regarding a turbo change on a lupo, something along the lines of --- " the turbo and manifold from a golf tdi130 will bolt straight on ,you just have to cut off and weld up one of the manifold exhaust ports" Does this sound right? reason for asking is, my whole exhaust needs replacing ,from rear tailpipe right up to the turbo outlet. so i guess if im going to replace it i may as well do the turbo change while im at it. if there is such a mod. thanks
  12. Sorry people, i was getting rushed out of the house last night before i posted Im near swansea, looking for best part of 350 ono also, i have pics but there on my camera which i have left at my folks place. i just assumed people would know what these alloys would look like, but i guess you need to see the condition of em.
  13. Hey guys and gals iv had a change of plan with my lupo and im going to change the wheels. These wheels are true with no kerbing, they use to be the polished type but the laquer started to go a bit funny, so i matt blacked them. The tyres that are fitted have 5mm+ of tread. two have had repairs due to screws sticking out of them. before they were on my lupo i had them on my mk1 caddy and they looked great. Local collection is fine, also I will be willing to help out with a courier. sensable offers please.
  14. Well let me now if you want to part with them. cheers
  15. hi do you have a pair of gti doors?
