Not worth having, invest in exhaust instead.

lower tyre pressures, find a different bias valve or modify your existing one or fit a 2nd one in line, fit a load sensing bias valve from a different car, shave the brake pads to reduce area?

My lupo is lowered about 40 - 50mm and i had to bend the rear arch lips to clear 195 50 15 tyres on 7 inch et35 rims especially when hitting bumps or dips or had weight in the back. Fronts were fine. You could avoid that with slightly narrower tyres, but i am not an advocate for stretch. Having gone from 195 50 15 tyres on 15 inch wheels to 185 55 14 on 14 inch wheels and having my hard ride transformed when traversing speed bumps, I will be trying 60 profile 14s (185 60 14). Your Lupo is a 1.0 with small brakes, you dont need to run 15 inch wheels, you can run 13 and 14 wheels which are usually lighter (=better) and can run larger profile tyres to keep the rolling radius which will give you a better ride. I would be looking at 13 or 14 wheels myself. Read up on offset, but basically the lower offset (et number) the more the wheel sticks out. Play around on here: www.willtheyfit.com

Easy cheap remaps and plenty of potential for more power too. That with £30 tax, what's not to like.

Mines fine 2nd to 3rd but refuses 4th to 3rd until warm enough = worn synchro, I live with it. Also: http://wiki.clublupo.co.uk/Lupo_buyers_guide

Hmm, spoke too soon the one i got killed all video playback like youtube etc and my sound was dead as well even after disabling it and getting videos playing again. I deleted it and got sound working again and youtube etc by doing sound troubleshooter. Will try a different extension. This was the one I tried: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-embedded-imag/ogipgokcopooepeipngiikdkpmcpkaon

I'm using chrome and i got an extension to fix photobucket links on someone elses suggestion, it works well. Just search for chrome photobucket fix extension and a few will show up. Pretty sure other browsers will have similar by now.

engine rpm. vacuum leak, flakey vaccum pump or flakey servo most likely. As the vacuum leak is a free fix look for that 1st, either the small vacuum pipes or the fat one off the servo which is prone to rubbing and going brittle.

8 inch banded baby g60s but i wont be posting.

Do the GTIs rub on 50s because of the extra track width? 50s work great on other Lupo if not too low.

My bad, forgot GTI was supposed to be 205 tyre.

I'd go for 50s as they are generally cheaper and give a less harsh ride. 45s https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-195-45-15-R15-78V-Toyo-Proxes-T1-R-T1R-Road-Track-Day-Tyres-1954515/311132429401 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-NEW-195-45-15-NANKANG-ULTRA-SPORT-NS-2-78V-TYRE-195-45R15-4-TYRES/251166335943 50s https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-195-50-15-R15-82V-Toyo-Proxes-T1-R-T1R-Road-Track-Day-Tyres-1955015/301338421271 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-NEW-195-50-15-NANKANG-ULTRA-SPORT-NS-2-82V-TYRE-195-50R15-4-TYRES/260936843102

Good work, this reminds me I really need to get off my bum and get on with mine. Red one still marooned in garage with no engine or box in it, black one i'm driving and MOT due soon. Was planning on getting red one on the road and driving it then getting black one finally sorted out, but being an olympic level procrastinator plans and results dont often match up.

just look for widely different pressures, but when i briefly had a 1.0 it was 160psi (or near as damn it) on all 4, 10 seconds cranking wide open throttle with all plugs removed. Anything under 120 would be of interest.

That is nice, any more pics of it and do you want to sell?

Can you please re do the pic hosting and tempt me some more with this GTI? Dont suppose you want rid of your blue one too do you?

What he said. http://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/polo-mk3/brake_systems/brake_brake_mechanics/repairing_rear_brakes_drum_brakes/releasing_brake_shoe_adjustment/

It was on ebay after this and then add title changed to "deposit taken" so i'd guess it sold. Quite a few sign up here just to flog a lupo, so they have no interest here once that is done.

Park up the 1.0 for another time and drive the tdi, you get the best of both worlds then.

I got response but no history with it so lost interest.

1:135psi 2: 142psi 3: 121psi 4: 149psi 10% is a reasonable difference, cyl 3 looks low so redo the test before worrying about anything. As said, if it runs happy and has plenty of power I wouldnt be too concerned about it.

Decat and sell yours for pro£it. Tbf, my brother had a Mitsubishi Delica about 10 years ago and thought the engine might be knocking so wanted me to look at it, sounded alright idling, went for a spin and it was exhaust manifold blowing on the head so easily done.

Painted most likely, I saw a chart that listed them by colour and there was like 3 white ones that left the factory if i remember right.

I think it's only the early petrol non gti ones I have seen in white. Dont think they did gti in white either which seems like a dumb move.

tbf a 17mm hex isnt in most peoples tool box either is it. Was that m16 one correct as i dont have one?
