vpolo Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 some photos of gti inters action and theres been more work on the mk2 and the lupo over the next few months there should be some big improvements to the way it puts it power down. also it has been blowing its boost pipes off since the remap so I've invested in a new pipe and matlock clamps to stop it.matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vpolo Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 so its been a while since i posted any real progress on this thread.over the last two months i have managed to do quite a bit i got my subframe, wish bones and arb blasted and coated with black satin powder coatalso while i was there i rebutted everything with power flex bushes. I'm working on making a new up graded dog legfor the gti as there currently isn't anything on the market at the moment.rebuilt hubs with new bearings abs sensors hubs and abs rings, also gave a spare set of callipers and carriers a lick of red vht caliper paint. also rebuilt the drive shafts cv joints. finished off with a set of ferodo racing ds 2500 pads to help her stop a bit better not many people know that this mirror is a genuine vw part. i know its not carbon but its a rare lupo part so who cares rebuilt my bbs rm's that i had lying round the unit. polished my radinox lips and finished them off with red and gold badges finally got her back on four wheels today fingers crossed i should be enjoying the 20v power more on the roadnow to get a gti rear beam and do a similar job to that. matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
