just popped mine up for sale in the classifieds but if your interested, raven blue (best colour and rare to!) i wouldnt be too bothered about mileage so long as it has been well serviced and cambelt done at around 60k, buy on condition over mileage, as mine has 116k on it but it runs smoother and pulls harder than my mates which is on 82k. common faults, door check strap, rear top led brake light not working (corroded connection), windows like you say (one of mine is tempremental), engine wise they are pretty solid cars though i would always buy a 5 speed over a 6 speed because of the inherant gearbox problems that the 6 speed dosent suffer from, it will also be better when you come to sell the car as people avoid 5 speeds generally, i think the changeover is around 2001 (not 100% tho) Hope that helps a little mate, and take a look at my ad in the classifieds if your interested they are the funnest little cars out there, enjoy whatever you get

Hi lads, sadly due to money troubles not involving the car, i am going to have to sell her so if you know anyone looking for one, point them my way 07917441146

I was suprised they were polarised tbh

Tried swapping the polarity?

Its none of our cars, its your car, so buy what you like! Just donk skimp on tyres

On black bathursts with a girl driving? I think its from redditch

Nobody thats sat in coz of the snow want to help me?

hi lads, as you may know ive had my gti a few weeks now and the engine is completely standard, i was planning on fitting a bmc induction kit, but reading around i have noticed a few people just fitting a panel filter and a decent cold air feed, what would you guys suggest is better? http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=50597 also in this topic they mention blanking off the hot air feed pipe, how would i go about doing this? lastly im also planning on fitting an oil catch tank at the same time, is there a how to on here? or can anyone give me a basic outline of what is involved, and ill take some snaps and get a how to up when i do it? cheers Jayy

I dont have loads planned at the moment to be fair, shes already in weitec coilovers, so im going to sort out a few little niggly bits, rear bootlid led brake light, and a few other things, then im going to look into arb's and potentially new seats and a few little oem+ mods to the interior, and then engine mods, but its expensive to get much power out of these isnt it? Jay

Cheers mate! Im more than happy with her!

What coilovers you used mate, im only on budgets but they suprised me once set up correctly? Nice bimmer btw!

Just bought my gti, more photos to come!

My new lupo!

Hi guys, this is my current e30, im picking my gti up next week!

Hi lads, One of my mates knows a lad selling an engine that he claims to be a lupo gti engine, im not very clued up on vag engines, and to me, lupo gti engines and 1.4 16v engines look similar, does the block or head say avy anywhere on them? Or are there any distinguising features between them? Its going cheap and i may aswell have a spare engine as it comes with all the ancillaries also. Ill also get a build thread up as soon as i get my car, hopefully next weekend! Cheers Jay

Oh right, fair enough, cheers, do you recon thats about the right price? How many red ones are there in the uk does anyone know? Jay

3K, im not sure how negotiable he is, yeah the chap works for a bodyshop so he is sorting it all out for me, it wont be like that when i collect it, my only reservation is that its on 105k miles, how do these engines age?

I was completely wrong lads, i remember it sticking out quite far, but i popped up today and its just an ill fitting bumper! What do you lot recon to 105k miles on an engine? Fsh and all that ...

Cheers 007! Ill go down to the car later and upload what im talking about to see what you guys think. Jay

Yeah for its age their lovely cars, i really like it, its just a little slow now

318i haha like 115bhp, but the cars not far over a tonne so its good fun in the wet, coming up for sale soon!

Haha! Cheers man, its tonnes of fun, just want something a little newer and smaller, and less prone to oversteer haha! Jay

True, we'll see if i take it out

Cheers mate! Thats my current car!
