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.

so heres a few new bits I've been collecting for the lupo this year

2l tfsi coil packs should give me a better quality spark

n75j valve should sort my new boosting issues out

and a vibba techinics dog leg mount for the gear box this will help out a lot planning on getting engine and gearbox mounts in time

the centre locks are coming along nicely ill post a full build and spec when they are done

also upgraded the engine to 2l tai coil packs colder plugs and a n75j valve the engine runs

a lot smoother and boost smooth all the way through the rev range

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 coat

also while i was there i rebutted everything with power flex bushes. I'm working on making a new up graded dog leg

for 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

image_zpskuevbrxo.jpg

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

image_zpsdbiyoqwp.jpg

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

image_zpsjacmrzgg.jpg

finally got her back on four wheels today fingers crossed i should be enjoying the 20v power more on the road

now to get a gti rear beam and do a similar job to that.
