    Wheels

    Tsk...alot of this information can be found on a fantastic lupo site I came across the other day - must be some genius who put it together, I can tell you .... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> ClubLupo 17's can be fitted, but arch work might be required. 16's are your best bet and they should fit right on no problems. As for body kits, again, the above site (Mods section) and you could always try the fantastic Awesome GTi
  3. Well Derby is in Derbyshire style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> so it is a trek for Sam....but like I say, its going to be impossible to please everyone. Sam travelling 3 hours each way to meet up for a bit isn't exactly nicer for her&b/f....
  4. I put "other" cause I'm in the Midlands ... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
  5. Derby is about 40 miles away, shouldn't be too hard to get there. Anyone care to hint at a date? June 16th??? Earlier? I can't make either the 2nd or the 9th, its my birthday week and I'm out both Saturday nights before hand style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
  6. Derbyshire...looks good for me. Only 40 miles away so I could be there in about 3/4 of an hour. How does Derby sound with all potential attendee's? As for a day, I reckon a Sunday would be the best bet - quiet roads, most people are free on a Sunday. Yay or Nay?
  7. Yeah, back to subject ... What about Grey and Gray? Gordon? And you up for it aswell Elliott?? more the merrier, as they say style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> And are we asking the `SEATCupra-Arosa` peeps too?
  8. My sister was almost crying in the back seat so I had to slow down... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Max I've done is 115, Chris says he got 140. Although, it was more likely to be a tadge under 130 because they `over-read`.
  9. Chris, yeah you can come too, I wanna go in your TT (with you driving though, of course border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Not me, officer! :0
  10. Yeah, not a problem. I had a word with a few peeps, and its very unlikely my kit will fit the 1.0....very different induction system apparently...
  11. OK then, heres the list: Matt - West Bromwich, West Midlands Spook - East Yorkshire Alvaro - Bath (temporarily style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />) Sam - Kent Dan - Stourbridge Gordon - ? Edited By MattyB on May 13 2002 at 17:50
  12. We had this problem with EVO meets. You can't please everyone. Either someone has to travel miles or they can't go...you have to choose a place that will please the most people. I'm willing to travel abit if needs be. Not out of this country though, obviously style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
  13. Yeah, I get it too. Its nothing to worry about, I suspect if you asked VW they'd just say the same thing we have. If you can't get it into reverse, or it feels like it wont go smoothly, put it into first and drive forward a little, then try again.....this can help.
  14. I say.... YOU LOT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT GTI INTERNATIONAL!! Me and Elliot had a good day, looking at VR6 Lupo's, 1.8Turbo Lupos and watching the VR6 do a `0-60` was cool style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Oh yeah, and lots of Lupo chat.... As for the meet, I'm up for it, I live near Birmingham. A central place would be Birmingham....because its....er...."central" to England style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
  15. Yeah, it'd drive a bit cacky, but hell, it'd look fooking ace style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Chris - why did I want 5x100? For the S3 wheels! And you have to remember that the GTi has larger arches than than the other Lupo/Arosa's so they should fit...Full lock might be reduced a bit tho ??? I think 16" is a more sensible choice. I'm just getting carried away style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> And Elise??? SLOW? 120bhp in a 700kg car = quickness and coupled with the superb chassis that its got. But if I had an elise, it would have to be the 190 (190bhp+710kg car = MUCH quickness).
  16. A new one? With the 225bhp engine?? damn! Why doesn't my mum drive cars like that ??? She does want a Lotus Elise though....but if I tell her there aint room for the shopping she would change her mind. I'll tell her to get an RS4 instead style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    handling

    Lupo has no torsion bar on the rear - shockers and springs. Means lowering costs ya more style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
  18. Go here: http://www.edgeracing.com/Rondell/Rondell%20Home.asp for Rondell Wheels, I assume its the R64...
  19. But I need 5x100 PCD style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Anyone know anything about Hub Adaptors? Someone also mentioned to me about Rondell wheels, who do some S3 replica's.... Could be good....
  20. Email VW instead. They have been great with me, Mr Finch at VW UK gives me loads of info. Top bloke. ABT are baisically saying "We cant be bothered with this" ... but I refuse to believe that they are *that* busy. He could have at least given you a little bit of info....
  21. Games are meant to be a little bit `so-so`. Only decent game for it is the Star Wars one (Rouge Squadron). Or so I hear. Gotta be an XBox style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> even though I've got a PS2. Xbox's weight would take a good .5 second of the Lupo's `0-60` though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
  22. QUOTE(Elliott)(MATT you can grab a pic next sunday)Nice style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
  23. BUMP! Its approaching this Sunday!!! anyone still interested???
  24. 19th May? Bloody hell, its only 2 weeks away! Website? Details? Contact details?? And how come they are over here? Do we get a go? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Edited By MattyB on May 07 2002 at 17:38
