Had a day out up my play ground

Made the most of the good weather

With the weather beeing bad not realy had chance to do much so i bought another dride seat and made a frame for that changed the gear knob, i also made a rear strut brace in my lunch breaks one week. last as the weather was good to day i gave her a good wash polish and wax even though it lives in the workshop any way

Took it to get her dynoed today not bad it pulled 138.4 hp @ the fly. i als have made a new seat frame for the new bride seat i have bought for the passenger side.

Had the day off work and got loads done, full service, new rear disc and pads and also new anti roll bar bushes. i also got the paint out again Green anti roll bars

My first up date is the breaks i have got hold of a 280mm wilwood set up. I bought these fairly cheap. I have test fitted them, striped and cleaned them then painted and used all new nipples and braided flexi brake hoses. I went to fit these one night after work and one of the 8 nipples has pulled out so i am in the process of waiting for a m10x1 tap to try and make a new thread. but here are a few pics from thr last 3 weeks test fit An hour on the wheel Did some one say green All built up The finished product, well nearly

Hi i work at a Bosch service centre i would say they have gone off book time but 0.9 for spark plugs is abit strong i will have a look on our auto data for you but i feel in the real world there is no more than 2 hours work max.

Hi all. i am alittle new to lupos i have always had polos from the age of 17. i have ahd a look though some topics and looked at brake upgrades for my sport. i have worked out that the gti and sport run the same size 256mm but the gti width is thicker. any what i want to know really is how many people have changed over to the next step up of g60 280mm set up or some thing like a wilwood on 280mm discs set up that was off a ibiza cupra or a mk2 golf ? is there a list any where of parts that are interchangable ie does mk2 golf ibiza brake parts bolt onto a lupo sport/gti hub? sorry if this has been covered, if it has could some one point me in the right direction many thanks chris
