hi everyone well this is my second lupo gti and its been abit bumpy but it will get there . Picked the car back in march .... march 11th to be exact from UD. its a 2001 black lupo gti currently with 84,000 on the clock but it seems to have had a hard life. Brought it pretty much standard with just a chassis notch and set of fk coilies with cut springs it was low to say the least. First thing i did was fit new coilovers as old ones were seized so currently on vmax coilovers these are tempoary till got more cash and other problems are sorted. this is how i brought it paint work aint in the best condition at all but does have a nice shine to it next on the list new coilovers and oem top mounts after this more problems have cropped up such as: front drivers side abs cable shredded front drivers side cv joint needs replacing coolant leak clutch needs replacing noisey starter motor temp sensor faulty engine fan mind of its own exhaust flexi pipe scuffed to **** Neadless to say i have thought about selling up Alot buuuuut i cant do it i love the gti's to much at the min how it currently sits Those wheels are borrowed off a mate until i sort my new wheels out which are waiting on tyres and refurb but small taster...... Its a very long way off being any where near where i want it but i will keep you all updated hope you like so far

YEAHHHHH!

Looks clean that, prefer it on the black bathursts!!

Indeed! Get your car back from body shop so can test these new plates! I could always raise it up to get it how it was anyway

Haven't updated this in a while.... Well quite abit has happened since I last updated: Pop out rears Polybushed wishbones Front ARB removed 20mm spacers fitted to rear Refurbed BBS RZ 515 with 165/50/15 Bridgestones Removed helper springs from front and wound down Cleaned out my EGR valve piping and finally got rid of that poxy engine check light! And cleaned/corrected and maintained the paintwork Painted front and rear calipers Drivers side stubby mirror Colour coded mirror caps Anyway some pics ARB removed due to it being ripped out of the subframe when going down the road, oops Calipers painted Pop outs fitted Wheel back from refurb Pic from elemental 2012 And my favourite pic of it soo far Will update soon with some more recent pics, cheers Chris.

One thing to remember is, one reason stretch came about from is drift cars. Stretch reduces tyre roll and therefore reduces grip. Even if you had a stretched 255 it'd still slip more than that 255 tyre on the right width rim. = Sliding!

Astra with metallic green drums bring back any memories James? Haha

I was thinking, what would happen if we made a potato cannon and just loaded it with DIY napalm. Is it something we'd regret when everything is on fire ?

Thanks guys

i like the sound of this but leave you phone at home your constant fb status updates fill my feed of your flirting with olivia

No of the moon. Of course of the paintwork! A few hours of paint correction may sort it, rather than a respray

i like it with the same width all round personally, more of an OEM look

ahh maybe not then!

Been to this both years good non pretentious show Will try & make it again, question is. Is there a club stand or are we all just to huddle together/find each other on arrival again ??.

still looks amazing!
