ArosaMike Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Are they the 16s you used to have on your Cupra by any chance Bill? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> You can't go wrong with them style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I think Super Ts really suit little cars like the Lupo and Arosa. What else have you got planned for the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else have you got planned for the car?They are my old rims.. one of my sets.. (Mrs B slowly nicking bits off me ibiza - LOL)Anti roll bars and or a suspension change... want some more roll control and firmer damping.. ATB diffs on order with James @ JBS already, and arch rolling is primed to be done.Slight ball joint touch on full lock big `on-off` welly on throttle so I need to grind yet more off the ball joints to make space.. and or weld some stiffeners into the Lupo wishbones.. They must be made of cheese or something. :roll: Some sort of deflection going on down there.. Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaMike Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Sounds good style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Are you getting bad tramping then? I think it's quite common if you're over enthusiastic with pulling away! I read somewhere that stiffer bushes will fix it. Apparently it's to do with engine movement as well and I think and the rear engine mounts need to be pre compressed. I'm not sure whether that would apply to you though as I'm guessing you're not using standard ones anyway.Oh...and a GTI kit would suit the car nicely style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyB Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Problem with putting a GTi kit on is the wheels look "lost" in the arches due to the lack of the wider track. So you'd have to put spacers on and I'm not sure I'd like the idea of that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I don't like the look of the Venom car. Great conversion, but it's way to OTT for my liking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid emount mounts are urethane filled in the voids also..The balljoint/hub assembly is flexing!!! to touch the disk inside edge. Bearings maybe.. but quite alarming they deflect that much.. over 3mm to touch disk.. Bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvid Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Do they come with 1.0 badges ever? Mine was a 1.4 75bhp standard but also didn't have the 1.4 on the back. I think they will never have put 1.0 on the back, because it had so little power standard :?: :?: :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
