QUOTE(TANNER)Beutiful car mate, i see one near me in that colour and its by far the best looking!!Defo the car to have if you want a fast hatch IMO. Are you on any Civic owners websites mate?? yeah im on http://www.`civictype-r`.co.uk but i still pop back onto this forum :wink: to see how u lot r going on.. and it looks like my old lupo has turned up.it was sold at a audi/vw dealership in manchester the last i heard for about 10k so keep a look out for it..

QUOTE(spooks)Does it feel a lot faster than the lupo gti?and for feeling faster than the gti.well it feels smooth untill the vtec at 6000rpm then all hell breaks loose...just feels like a turbo coming in a 6 all the way to 8250rpm style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

QUOTE(twisty `b-road`)It's a whole different league mate, don't even bother racing one if there's any straightsCTR doesn't even get into it's stride till 90mph, which is the opposite of the Lupo i agree but the lupo is a very quick car.the ctr is a second or so quicker to sixty but the `0-60` time (6.5)of a ctr doesn't do it justice as it's just started moving, but the `0-100` does(16)maybe just under.where as the lupo was rapid to about 80 the ctr just keeps going and going all the way to 140 easily then u can sqeeze 150 out of it with a long strech of road.the only reason i moved on was because of this.The lupo is a very cool car and will beat majority of the cars on the road `0-60` but the ctr is up there with focus rs,clio 182's,seat cupra r's etc...and in IMO a step up.

QUOTE(twisty `b-road`)Handles well out of the crate doesn't it?yeah very well.its very stiff and firm on the bends but the back end can be a bit twichy compared to the lupo, thats because its a bigger car.yeah i love it!the lupo will always has a place in my heart tho!!!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

i recently traded in my lupo gti for a civic type r and i was just wondering where it might end up! it was a great car but things move on..the reg is L70UPO tornado red...2003.i traded it in at a honda garage in lancashire.so if anybody on here has bought it or know where it has gone.i just want to know if it is in good hands.. :cry:

and here in burnley there is about 10 polo's and only 3 lupo's that i know about!lupo has that bit more ermmmmmm....checkyness to it i think.i have a 6 but never drove a 5 so won't know the difference if any...

i think the cats r that good these days that they don't restrict the exhaust as much as they used to do.u won't gain much power maybe a horse or two.

a 1.9tdi in a lupo!won't that be a heavy lump to stick in a little car like a lupo.it would probably understeer too much!you would have a lot to do to set up the handling.

which dealer was this paulbin?

when i ordered mine it took 13 weeks to come as i wanted a red one and there wasn't any red ones in stock...

and hear count me in!!

i can't explain the sound it makes when it comes on but u will probably of heard it.its when your grip on the wheel just slips that little bit u can hear it.

talkin about fuel ecomony,when i had my tdi lupo i got about 250 miles from being full to the warning light coming on style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> if thats anything to compare yours with...but now im only getting 175 off the same size tank in my lupo gti. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
