  1. No idea Nicki...but yeah, might be worth asking the question see how much they quote.
  2. Cable 225? Off a 1.8T? Aren't they are FBW?
  3. Yeah, I did wonder if that was a bit pikey I'm pretty sure the airfilters and the physical boxes are the same size though, other than the TB intake size? Just need to know what airfilter element to get hold of...
  4. Does anyone know if a 1.4 16v (75bhp) throttle body and airbox will work on a 1.6 16v Polo GTi engine? Assuming the TB doesn't work, and we fit the Golf/Bora 2.0 8v TB, what airbox is required?
  5. We need to pop the driveshafts apart when we remove the engine/box from the Lupo this weekend. Looking at it, seems to be a large allen-key fitment required for removal? What tools are required? Ta
  6. Get to work on personalising it Let me know your addy and I'll Paypal over the 1/2
  7. Progress, I'll get some pics next week. Things crossed off the "to buy" list: - Polo GTi Engine - Coilovers - 280mm brakes. So all I really need now are the wheels, as I'm leaving the PAS in for the time being, its something that can be looked at later. Started stripping the front end today, hopefully next weekend we'll drain the fluids out and start disconnecting/labelling and general preparing for the actual changeover.

  11. Do it! As long as your willing to "brand it" with CL stuff and bring it to Ed38, I'll even go halfs on the cost Edit - 66inches isn't even 6 foot, not very big is it!
  12. You tight git Al Free advertising for you know who, get them to pay! I'm happy for anyone to hold onto the Gazebo, ideally it needs to be someone who frequently attends the 'big' shows so it can be available. As for Bouncy Castles - £70 per day Although I'm sure the Ed38 organisers wouldn't be overly keen on us having a bouncy castle on our stand!
  13. £12 from Homebase Although that wont last 5 minutes with you lot! Could always buy 2
  14. Lets sort one for Ed38. I need a couple of volunteers: 1. Someone to keep it/look after it for future shows 2. Some arty person to "Customise" is. For 2, I'm thinking that instead of paying a fortune for a professional personalised Gazebo (and they are expensive...Mk4 forum paid something rediculous for theirs) we could by a cheap one and personalise it ourselves...but something tasteful! I.e., not going all Clairy Fairy and having it pink with tassels.... I'm willing to chuck money towards it, say £50, but if you want something big/fancy you lot will have to stump up the rest Ideas, suggestions...all welcome.
  15. I've not had anything back off Inferno for ages, despite another email, so it may be worth us looking at other suppliers. Any recommendations?
  16. I went to see Tinselworm live - it was good, but his older stuff was better. Bits were repeated from the "Part Troll" tour, which was fantastic. "The laminated book of dreams!"
  17. I didn't even know you had coilovers! Which did you go for in the end?
  18. Saz is driving my Lupo at the moment while theirs is in! GTi to broken 1.4 with windy windows What are you in for?
  19. Sorry to hear your not enjoying it Did you get the suspension/geometry sorted??

    Removing PAS

    Can anyone advise as to what steering racks would fit a Lupo, and which are non-PAS? Done a search on eBay, and there are a few racks, one from a 99 Polo for £25...can't tell if its non-PAS though. But for £50 I can get a brand new rack from a 1998 Polo for £50 from Eurocarparts...(edit - its from a Mk3)
  21. Here http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54542
  22. Fantastic, thanks And you say "Left side" ? I was after the drivers side, if its different.
  23. 320bhp, and even when its 'nailed' in 2nd its not unmanageable, although I do have a Torsen diff. New Focus RS has 300bhp, that handles it very well I understand. Electronic diffs are coming along too, reports on Alfa's electronic 'Q2' have been decent, they're using it for the new MiTo GTA.
