Monday 9th April - Race Report YouTube Video First race of the season for a change!! I've never done the first race and I'd never done a wet race either...was dry the day before but unfortunately the forecast was right and it rained all Monday!! I went out for qualifying on a set of Yokohama AD08's and what a mistake that was, it was like I was driving on ice, no matter the speed I took a corner I was sideways which made things quite interesting. I qualified dead last with a time of 1:58:108 so I could only go forwards lol!! After qualifying we noticed the front wheels were towing out for some reason so we lined them up a bit better by eye as I don't have a toe gauge and I also managed to get a set of Toyo T1R's brought from home (my old tyres) and got them fitted before the race. I got a good start and I moved up 8 cars in the first lap and another 3/4 on the second before Annie King span in front of me and my car seemed to copy lol!I managed to rejoin losing a few places and then on the way up Folly I had a good run alongside Paul Gardner but he didn't know I was there and came across me so I lifted and that sent me into a slide (fastest part of the track on a slight bend is not where you want to lift lol!!). So I lost a few more positions however I soon moved back up a few places but coming towards the Esses the exhaust started blowing massively so I pulled in and was towed back at the end of the race. Had a look under the car and the exhaust manifold had broken where it joins the cat pipe, which is strange but so far I'm assuming I must have knocked it somewhere. Progress has definitely been made and the car feels a lot faster with the new gearbox, I was up to 3rd in class before I span and subsequently stopped, which is a great result! So I'm very happy with the car and hopefully next time I'll finish

Thanks It was going really well! I snapped the exhaust manifold where it joins the cat pipe :s I didn't think I'd knocked it so very strange....will put video and a quick write up in a bit!

DO NOT USE AUTOGLASS!! the biggest rip off company I have ever seen lol!! Just try a local company

as above, check the bulbs

Nearly done now, got a race on Monday! Just got to apply the stickers with my race number on to the new doors, get a remap and tidy up the wiring

under the drivers side dash

you checked the fuse?

hmmm this is interesting as my Lupo on catcams cams has never wanted to idle...however I'm not getting any pinking as far as I'm aware!

Looks a bit different actually! Here's one I've just fitted to mine, the housing looks slightly different

Yeah the S has slightly different ratios, better for fuel economy but not quite as good acceleration!

Fitted the brakes! Got to bleed them and get it on some rollers to adjust the brakes

Badger5?

I believe its 75w90. Plus there's this guide: http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=78608

Thanks a lot! Yeah I did get pretty close, I saw a gap and darted for it!! The 2 guys behind me got collected by the Corsa haha yeah thats Jamie, I wind him up about his starts all the time Thanks

Thanks Koop! Picked up my gearbox today after getting some different gears put in So chucked it on today as well!

I've had to move my brake reservoirs into the engine bay after some clarification on the rules lol Interiors pretty much done as well

d'oh ignore me sorryyyy

If you're spending money on a remap you want at least a better filter on there rather than the standard one. Just get a Jetex filter and some pipe much cheaper

Haven't posted for a while so got a few updates: Fitted the new GTi doors and fitted my poly windows in, oh and gutted the doors, I hate cutting up perfectly good things lol: Fitted some more of the interior Fitted in some new lifters: Got some new discs and ds2500 pads and motul brake fluid from Badger5 The interiors mostly installed now just haven't got a pic of it yet!! I've sent my gearbox away to have some better ratios put in it, then just got to fit the brakelines and get it mapped again and we're all done First race on the 9th April!!

awwwww dam. was gonna use it for spares for my lupo when I don't crash it or ram others lol

personally on the sport I think you're better off spending your money on a exhaust manifold and replacing the cat maybe Don't quote me on this but I think you can adjust the sensitivity of the throttle without having to get a full on remap?

I did drop you a text mate but didn't get a reply?

Sorry dude been a busy weekend (bday weekend ) I'll try to give you a call tomorrow!

Can I have your number to give you a call on? I'm very interested
