Defcon5 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I had been wondering where this project was heading, there has been a noticeable lack of updates and general chitchat about it.Shame, but you wouldn't want to end up resenting it.

Silver! Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Seems such a shame to break. Why not put a standard GTI lump back in and sell it complete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've pulled too much out of the car to get it back to standard really, needs a whole wiring loom and an engine.It's something I thought about, then worked out how much it would cost and how much I'd sell it for and decided against it.

Keal Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hi Casper. I saw your exhaust manifold system in eBay. I was looking into the janspeed catback before that. I have a lot of similar mods to yours and basically after the best performance I can get without supercharging, turbos or throttle bodies. Since I got my car a couple of year ago I keep hearing your name popping up. So what's the reason for breaking the Lupo and what bits have you got left? Do you have a 3l steering wheel or Leon front splitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
