AUTOBAHN BURNER Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Been checking out the forum for the last week. I just bought a 1998 Lupo 1.4L 55kw/75ps . Needed another car for better gas mileage and such. But this little car is addictive. I like websites like this because I learn more about what I have, and what I can do with it.Anyways, I'm Mike, just retired from 24years in the U.S.Army. Decided to stay in Germany with my German wife & Kids. I also have a 97 Ford Mustang GT (slighty modded), which is baby border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Baby: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Thinking of a little lowering for the Lupo. 40mm don't look like it will be enuff though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> .Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTOBAHN BURNER Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) welcome. like said, you need to go lower than 40mm i think, what are your plans for the beaut!?No real modding plans for it other than lowering to fill the wheel gap. It's going to be my daily/work driver. But I've never been able to leave well enuff alone.I just got some steel VW wheels on German Ebay the other day for winter tires. 21 Euro for 4 - 14x6 et38, and the wheels were Brand new never had tires on them!!!! No shipping paid as they were a half hour from where I live, so I drove over and picked them up. The guy who had them on auction failed to set a reserve when he listed them. His loss is my gain.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=006Mike Edited August 2, 2007 by AUTOBAHN BURNER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTOBAHN BURNER Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I changed Springs & Struts this last week. Was only supposed to drop it 40mm, but after driving around this week a bit it dropped 50mm (checked after I had the camber and alignment done). That's enuff for me. It looks and rides alot better.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
