CasperGTI Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Yep filter in footwell, apparently to stop intake temps getting up as it gets a bit warm where the filter was located in the bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I went out in it today, got out smiling from ear to ear. it's still at the factory at the moment as I've got to go collect it on a trailer as its got slicks fitted and I don't want to drive it 180 miles home.It's not mega loud, has to be under 102db for track use.

CasperGTI Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Can't wait to get it home and start tinkering with it, got quite a few things I want to do to it, all small but they will make the finished quality much better when done. I'm not a massive fan of pop rivets to hold on skin panels, what's wrong with a rivnut and a nice stainless steel allen key cap screw? Easier to remove then.

CasperGTI Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Ummmmm, I think so? It's 500bhp and 502kgs... I don't know what the veyron is.It apparently does 0-100mph in 6.1 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leedud Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi Casper, I was wondering if you still have the linkages and stuff for the gearbox, from 5 speed to 6 speed. I have been trying to find out the parts, but if you have them would you still sell them me please. My email address is, l88lrt@gmail.comMany thanks lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 I would hate to think how much the previous owner of this car has lost selling it if that's the bill for the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hi John, dunno if you've turned off your PM notifications or not, I probably would've done if I were you, so just posting up on here to hopefully get your attention.Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I have to say ive not looked back.... But the legend of the lupo (well the money from breaking it in to small pieces) lives on!Still playing with silly cars, with stupid power. Love it, would recommend this to anyone over the "scene"Little bit of fun at the rolling road power is at the rear wheels, dropped it a little as running too lean on higher boost. need more injector cc's:http://s42.photobucket.com/user/pikeypiles69/media/MK/IMG_0159_zps2a503f3c.mp4.htmlCar weighs 560kg.... so thats 737 bhp/tonne!And on track:http://youtu.be/4WkkZjC-jpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
