One life. Live it!

aww, cheers Marcus! How's life with you?

Latest update.. The Lupo has already had some sound improvements from initial adjustments -cleaner,crisper bass and improved midrange. The crossovers have been connected up to test sounds and frequencies for each. New lower door panels should be at the workshop tomorrow and then the new ones can be fabricated out of those with the crossovers built in and new carbon (set slightly differently) and leather surround. Unbelievebly there were some rattles found so MORE sound deadening is being added!! The distribution unit which sits against the back seat panel has been checked and some of the soldered connections have been redone. There was a loose connection found which I'm praying is the main cause for the electrical issues. Steering wheel was playing up too but that's been sorted there was a broken wire that was causing the head unit not to actuate but that's fixed. more updates very soon!

I'm SO pleased for you nick that's fantastic news!! Very well done!! Stu :-)

agreed on that as I work Saturdays too but my diary is already getting full. Would meeting at the wales volksfest be out of the question or is it best to have seperate meet?

Agree with that- cracking shot- love the contrast of the red against the black and white! Is it flash red- the colour? Keep up good work!

thanks for the heads up Ellie! il keep checking thread and let you know! Failing that volksfest! Cheers! Stu:-)

You painted a very good mental picture there Mitch - thankyou! :-)

Thought I'd better let you know the latest on my loop. It's now gone back in the workshop mainly to further improve the sound setup but also some cosmetic work ready for a show called ICE-T18 which is in oxford next Saturday. The show is a chilled one dayer that showcases some of the uk's (and Europes) best car sound systems- can't wait! The Lupo is having 1) all carbon replaced as there were little faults throughout 2) rear seat panel trimmed and tidied 3) new front door panels with built in crossover with stealth panels 4) new rear panels and trim 5) adjusted mid speakers 6) new tweeter builds 7) new sound processor setup session REALLY looking forward not only to the cosmetic improvements but the improvement in the sound setup! Bring it on!!

That would be good! I shall try my best! Do you guys go to volksfest wales? Might pop down on the sunday!

Well done on your award Colin- can I ask what the winning Lupo had done to it to bestow first place?

sorry to hear that ellie! We enjoyed the chilled atmosphere and would like to camp also - nice setting! A lot of our friends were parked up with the brickyard club camping- I think you enjoy a show so much more when you stay- you just get straight in on the the whole atmosphere! No doubt catch you at another show! ;-)

That's fantastic news emz! Tell him big congrats! Sorry didn't get chance to speak today! My Lupo is going back in to replace carbon and trim and ice system sort out on wednesday- I might get to show mine too then! What's shows are next for you guys?

didn't see you or your Lupo today Ellie- did you have a good show?

2 minutes!! You've got to go - it's on your doorstep!! It's the law!!

Good Shout! Based on last years weather you might well need them! Let's hope it's a little bit drier!

That's cool emz- we are just going up on the Sunday so il see you, rob and your buddies! :-)

Just wondered of any CL people are venturing over the border to Caldicot this weekend? Or perhaps any of the welsh contigency are going?

Hey Sam! Wondered where you were hiding!! Welcome back!!

Cheers Man! You're right -loads more comfy in the van! We did venture further north for some shows last year but keeping the mileage down this year so that's a no to Leeds. We are doing a local show this coming weekend, just for the Sunday. Quite a chilled one- dubs at the castle @ caldicot. Not too sure on the watercooled shows at present. Got to get my Lupo up to scratch then I can plan which shows to do! Catch you soon Dubsy! ;-)

Your Lupo is looking VERY nice there Dubsy - you must be well chuffed! Quite a honour to say about top two show cars too! Glad you enjoyed your show- what's next on the show front? We are having a nice chilled time here in camperjam! Here's a pic of my van!

Good shout Dubsy! Thanks for the info! Meant to pm you actually- how'd you get on at that show a few weeks back? We are off to camperjam Friday @ same place dub mania was held- beautiful setting there- can't wait!

Hey Gilybob- be interested in any further suggestion on the fitting front. Can't believe you got rust- what a bummer!

Cheers Scotty! Just shows I need to shop around!!

Hats off to you Jamie- it's true what they say about the scots- very canny!!

Thanks very much James-much appreciated!
