Isn't the fag lighter in the ashtray? bit of an odd place to put a starter button

I wish vw had made the GTI in white
-
I had that when I first got my lupo. Turned out to be a cracked g/box mount. The VW dealer thought it was my suspension at first...they ended up stripping the whole front suspension but couldn't find anything, 3 days later they discovered the cracked g/box mount. They said it must have been a faulty mount.

If I'm at home I'll come down.

I dout they would bump you insurance up that much if you just lowered it.
-
Didn't someone take some photos while we were driving... they would be good to see.
-
Yeah getting home was a bit quicker although I ended up going over glenshee just because its a nice road to drive.
-
Yeah it was nice to put user names to names, faces and cars. Shame i didn't get to meet everyone tho.
-
So whos all coming from the aberdeen massive?
-
so im trying to work out what to buy.
its definately not going to be FK's, Supersport's, or Spax.
spax and fk's because ive had them before and was never happy, and suspersport because im not that daft.
having rang around yesterday it would seem that koni no longer make a coilover kit for the GTI.
so the options are:
Bilstein pss9 £1000ish
H&R £800
KW £695, £795, £1100
anyone have any other suggestions?
The fully adjustable FK's are konis
-
I've seen it to. Was parked up in garthdee a while ago.
Note to self, must get down to the beach Lupoi hunting one night.Oo tomorrow night down the beach for a club lupo meet and a few laps
-
I missed it what times the repeat?
-
i havent really read the whole thread, but with regaurds to a 1300 fiesta-
you do know its a ka in disguise?
i would advise on any other engined fiesta if your looking for a nice daily car.
Yeah I know but its cheap to insure and I've just bought one for £700...so cheap to buy too, and that leaves me £7800 to buy and insure a bike. I had one a few years back and its fine for the amount I use my car.
-
As for the 748... Nice choice
I've been offered a 749 with only 690miles on the clock for £7000 and 916 for £5000 but I think I'll be going for a 748
-
I've got a new plan and it doesn't envolve a vauxhall at all
Why is it I can insure a fast bike for cheap but when it fastish cars I've got no chance? You would think a car would be safer
-
I will if I'm not offshore
-
What about the Fiesta below the ST, the oil burner in that is meant to be pretty good and nice to drive. Plus it looks like the ST, so a bit different too.
Yeah I like the look of the st's I might have a look at the diesels. I'm not going to rush into buying a car because I don't want to be too disapointed by what ever it will be. I've rushed into buying every car I've owned including the lupo... lucky for me the lupo wasn't disapointing.
-
About £8500 tops. I wouldn't mind a fabia vrs but I don't think I'd get 1 with that money thats still got manufactors warranty on it, thats another thing I want.
-
I presume your not mad enough to be buying new? Surely theres something more interesting out there that takes your fancy?
If what you really want is a hot Vauxhall I'd do one of two things, wait for the Corsa VXR, which sounds promising, or wait for Astra VXR prices to drop.
Edited to say, of course, its your money and your car, don't listen to us!
No i'll never ever buy another brand new car again, lost to much money on the lupo.
I'm not after a hot car, I'm after a cheap car with cheaper insurance without losing performance as I feel £2000 a year is a bit much for a lupo, thats without modifications! I know a corsa will never be as interesting as a lupo GTI but it does seem a sensable(sp?) car.
I looked at a focus st170 which was the same money but my insurance company wanted an extra £400 so thats out the question. I'll never buy a french car and I don't like fiats. If anyone has any sugestions on other cars please let me know.
I know its my money and my car but I would like the opinion of people with good taste in cars
-
id say there faster then the lupo gti! my mate has one it does go................
but it maybe fast! but its also *****!
looks and feels cheap
Yeah it does look and feel cheap but its still not a bad motor. If it is faster than the lupo its not by much.
A big plus is the cheaper insurance group without losing the performance.
-
I went to look at a Corsa 1.8 Sri
to think that I actually like it. I took it out for a test drive and it seemed as quick as the lupo, the handling was pretty good for standard too...better than standard lupo GTI anyway.
There are a few things I don't like. Mainly they're like clits and every c*nts got one and also the cheap plastic feel inside. But then there is alot of stuff that its got in its favour. like cheap insurance (group 9), loads of extras, they're quite spacious and cheap servicing and parts.
The main question I want to know is would I burn in hell if I bought one?
Silver lupo, lowered on nice wheels
