  1. Buy bigger boots? I've heard nikes come a tad wider
  2. Front and rear 9j? Quite wide, depends on original steel offsets

    EGR Delete?

    Mainly because you've already quoted your output, a custom map will be done as peformance allows and according to specific requirements on site....it can effect turbo with the amount of thick clogging soot inside! But if your turbo's playing up it probably wouldn't be the first thing I would look at, unless you've been playing with it,what problems you having?
  4. Unfortunatly as a car enthusiast you can drop it on whatever you want, put on as many halford accsessories you like, reprogramme the engine etc etc unless you sell it to another enthusiast None of the above is worth jack, and the car is worth less, with the milage increase to your average joe!

    EGR Delete?

    The egr re-burns exhaust gasses for enviroment purposes, which in turn effects back pressure, I would blank off but also run a straight through exhaust system to see benefits
  6. I've got 7's up front, wish I'd had 7.5-8 and 8.5 rear instead of 8 If you want 'legal/sensible' go for 7.5 front 8 rears Obviously dependent on et
  7. Seen a nice looking dark lupo ( was too dark to spec exact colour ) heading northbound on the m5 followed it for a fair few junctions, seen it cut up by some nobber in a red sprinter van! I was in my lupo blue/white
  8. Yeah me too, where is gearbox sensor located, under the hood?
  9. Did you know it needed a engine change before you brought it? Fair play if you did, if you didn't, kudos to you for just not giving up and scrapping.....what engine is going in?
  10. Ill try and get some up mate,don't get much time on it to be honest, mines 1.3 gonna be running on bike carbs what you got?
  11. Nice one, thought the pin stripe was different, currently looking at some alloys for summer
  12. Yeah they cost a bit but was worth it, they are white aluminium and are same design as oem ones, made by gez
  13. Got some imported roof bars from in the end look pretty nice and go with the colour coding I've done posted some pics in members rides cheers all agin for the help
  14. Hi all, not really one for build threads so ill keep it short, any questions the answers are all ready somewhere on the forum :-) So been vdubbin for a while and moved to the coast so no longer required my old motor: Got a type 19 on the go too: Anyway, looked at getting a nice cheap runaround which I can throw a board on the roof to go surfing so here it is and what I've done: enjoy! As I got it: Tdi lupo de-badged: De-stripped not got all the glue off in this one! Got some steelies and got em banded 7.5j front 8j rears then had them shot blasted and powder coated white! Which is a biatch to keep clean! At a wet wooly where I now reside There it is anyway, few more things to do will probably get some rare alloys for summer,as low as it can practically be around these areas!
  15. Dump valve Vrrrrrrrrrrr.........pishhhhhhhh Doing 5mph
  16. Or a tool used in the prison enviroment
  17. Was ust thinking this the other day, living within hills I thought about dropping mine lower, but just can not stand what I like to call 'Pac-man' wheels! Where the coils are wound down ridiculaaaarsly low with small or undersized wheels and the arch looks like its (pac-man ref) gobbling up the wheel. Just looks shat
  18. You see 90% of men would have rammed it over, snapped something and borke down on the other side, women uses her initative and with a cheeky smile gets everyone to reverse.... I'd have probably lied and said my suspensions snapped or some other bs in order to save embarresment.... Hats off to you, I wish I had the balls to go super low
  19. La senza.....cmon if I didn't someone would

    Debadging help?

    That's defo superglue mate! De-stripped my sides at the weekend to find a small amount of it havent got mine off yet but let me know if you find anything that helps
  21. Short of getting shot down I have to agree scotty is right, ok went about the wrong way, but the main part of a car for your average driver is wheels and height. Best to have a look in members rides,note down the pcd 4x100 and try searching from there. Have a look on wheelbase Only you know what you will like don't let anybody tell you different?
