  1. Do you know what value of resistor it takes mate?
  2. So do you not recommend a combination of my lowered springs and new Apex shocks?
  3. So, I have just completed a rear GTI beam conversion on my lupo and everything worked out sweet... excluding the suspension (hence this thread). My OEM shocks have decided to break into about 5 parts probably as a result of the 60mm drop on springs about 6 months ago. The front ones are just as bad. My question is; 'Should I replace them with Apex/Spax/WhatEverElse shocks all round, or eBay special cheap coilovers?'. Please no flippant, pointess responses. Thanks in advance, Paul
  4. Thanks man, ill have a wee look when I get a second
  5. No, don't really know what I'd be looking for in all honesty
  6. GTIChris.... thank you! Appreciate the help. I do suck the perverbial balls at searching.
  7. However, the axle in the aforementioned link is spoken for
  8. Thanks for the help guys ill try and re-seat the springs. It knocks stationary aswell Fretwell
  9. No, yours does So I take you dont have one then!?
  10. I had that one checked im afraid Plenty of clearence and all brackets are sound. Thanks though.
  11. Hi guys, Still on the hunt for a rear axle with discs so if anyone can send me a link that would be great
  12. It doesnt have to go back into the box.... You can use an oil catch can (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313.TR8.TRC0&_nkw=oil+catch+can&_sacat=0&_from=R40) to catch the oil coming out of the breather. AND! you can get one the same colour as your motor and Bobs yer uncle!
  13. Hi, I have lowered the Lupo by 60mm front and back..... On lowering springs (Student Budget)..... When I steer during parking etc so under 5mph I get a horrific knocking 'dunt'. It happens on both sides and believe it to be something to do with the suspension towers. Can anyone shed any light on the problem? Thanks, Paul
  14. Haha, thanks for the help guys (Especially you Pete... good effort)
  15. Hi everyone, looking for a sport/gti rear axle beam with discs, calipers and all that good stuff! If anyone has one or knows where I can get one, that'll be great. Thanks in advance
  16. Hi, Just changed out the front brakes to Brembo Max discs and pads and really happy with the result.... but all that keeps getting shown up by those rusty looking drums on the back. I am wondering if anyone has a sport rear axle with discs that I can buy or knows of a place I can get one!!?? I'm in Aberdeen FYI Thanks alot

    Yeah it is pretty cool on the car! Whats your loop look like?
  20. Bucket Seats? What brand are they?
  21. Hi, Looking to fit a pair of bucket seats to the Lupo. But, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to seats. I was looking at a set of Racespex Seats but I don't have a clue what I need to do to fit them. If you know of any direct fit seats, that would be even better 10 Brownie Points Awarded
