loving this build.
-
someone on here is looking to buy my 16'' oz wheels off my rallye. all he wants to know is whether they will fit with no other work needed, like arch work etc. they are low profile tyres. his car is not lowered and he doesnt intend to lower it.
i would rather make sure instead of telling him they fit but actually dont fit.
if i try them on my R reg arosa will that be the same as trying them on a lupo
-
the guy that supercharged the 1 litre polo make the kit himself. he has his own forum which is quite good.
its httuning
dont bother ringing aw tracksport as the guy is a monkey. tucked me up big time. had full engine done with him and charger setup. cost me nearly 6k after everything. lasted about 2k miles. he cut my valve seats with a grinder.
he does kits but has a really bad name now
-
what stops the front one fitting an r plate arosa then?
-
will lupo bumpers fit my arosa
-
say when ordering bits from gsf
would the same bits be off a lupo as an arosa if the car is of a similar spec model and year
-

its pretty easy really to mount the charger. can make brackets yourself if mechanically minded. all you need to do is line the pulleys up straight. i would say the most expensive bit is lowering the compression if done properly which i would recommend, possible different injectors and a remap is also needed. gti injectors might be ok on a sport.
-
true. the usual 1.4 8v from a manual car should mate up ok to an auto
-
all i really need to know is will he auto box link up with another engine. im assuming engine mounts are pretty much the same
-
yeah it is an arosa sorry
i paid £750
15.7 0-60 good enough for the misses
-
i just read through every thing but the pics aint working for me
sounds a mad project though. good on you, you crazy person
-
try aw tracksport they may do one but they are not great from there.
he will do a kit for you though

i just bought this for the misses today.
r reg in red 89k on clock.
all that needs doing is a bush on lower arm and cv gaitor
i was wondering that is the engine on this ever blew up for some reason, could i use any other engine and still use the auto box. is this possible. could i use a polo gt lump or a 1.4 16v lupo lump and mate it to an auto box.
its a tidy car but not as fun to drive as my old lupo tdi was
was just wondering if a conversion is possible on these. the auto box bit confuses me a bit sorry

what sort of prices am i looking at from these companies
-
where is the best place for this?
and what sort of prices and increases am i looking at?
-
i bought the car on 45k so will have to check whether its been done yet
-
just changed the oil this week on 55k, what sort of mileage does the timing belt using be done on. its a 52 plate
-
lupocharged, did you use a spacer plate or different pistons and rods
-
i have thought about the 1.8t but i like being different
i was thinking of lower compression pistons etc. do it properly. or aint they available
-
looking to put a lupo gti engine in my mk1 golf
if i decide to get one of these engines i might supercharge or turbo charge it. how much work is involved in this as it would be worth me doing it before engine conversion. what you guys think.
reckon i could get it to 200bhp
would be very happy with that
-
i would say the cv gaitor has split and the grease has all gone and dried the joint out with dirt and this is causing the knocking.
changed mine this week
-
thats a fast 1/4 time for just a chip and a induction kit
is his car stripped out
the 0-60 is slow as petrified says
where is petrified?
