Spoon Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hi, My name is Martin (Spoon) and im head technician for a company called RoadTrackRace. I brought a 2000 vw lupo at the end of november 2010 with alot of miles and problems but for not alot of money.The plans are big for this car, possible engine conversion next winter but depending on how long the one init lasts. At the moment it has been de-badged, lowered on cheap and cheerfull springs untill the coilovers are brought, carbon fibre airbox and what im most happy with is the carbon fibre door cards in the rear. The front, headliner and outer roof skin are being made but im struggling to find time to finish them... Any comments/ideas welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ive got a few more pictures, as you can tell its a work in progress because im still driving it about, i did the airbox once as a quick bodge but then had another go a few weeks later. over the weekend me and a mate made a 4-2-1 stainless manifold which has improved its performance a little but the standard back box is really holding it back.

Spoon Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Im sorry lads but theres no chance my work would let me do anything like this to anyone else's, they give me a hard enough time for doing them for mine in my own time. If that ever changes ill let you know, im not sure what other companys would charge, theres one called carbonmods maybe you could give them a try?
