Participated the first sprint race of the season. Here is my onboard:
-
Nothing interesting, enjoying the car and summer wheels setup.
-
Finally received my car from service. Installed wheels...I love that look!
-
My dad gave me his old (but damn so fresh and clean) steering wheel from VW Tiguan 2012. It is about 35 centimeters in diameter. It was used for the first 5000 kilometers and after that was installed leather one. Decided to try to install it on my Lupo as have been seen here (of course these are VW Golf GTI's ones): And:
-
From other part of our country have been shipped my spacers. Each one is 13mm. So that I could make the offset the same way. Before: After: You can see that new 195/45 tyres will fit old 185/55's "shadow". It means the same steering and tyre rubbing while contacting the body.

When I will see Alexander, I will make. It's not a problem. Or try and find some info here: https://www.drive2.ru/r/volkswagen/1703370/ Black ones with winter pike tyres, silver ones with summer tires. Borbet's weight is 7,7Kgs and VSMPO's weight is 5,6Kgs. So yes, there is a noticeable difference.

Tested how they fit:

The question is about their intake diameter. I am looking for 34mm-38mm ones. Not 44mm blacktops or silvertops from Trueno\Levin. It is considered to be 34-38mm just to make tubes not so long. Yesterday received pics from my rims seller:
-
Thanx, and yes I am going to make custom intake and exhaust manifolds. But don't know when will it happen. By the way, today bought fresh 195/45 tyres. Brand new. They cost me smth around 150$ (11000 rubles) which I consider very damn cheap for new set of tyres with 45th height.
-
Bought forged rims VSMPO Sirius. 15x6J ET38 4x100 and the weight is 5.7 kilos per each 1 rim. Also selling my Borbets and going to buy nice tires...smth like Ventus R-S3 Z222 or Toyo T1R. For daily and track use.

Had a day off *DELETED*
-
Absolutely actionless, you're right. Gonna repaint the car, install another wheel set, interior changes...it seems to me that another time I could film some footage with my car is may 2k17 before or after our VW Festival in Russia. With roll shots, action shots.
-
Here's my black Lupo. Edited today from old footage. *DELETED*
-
Nice Borbets, they look like new in that silver colour. Mine are black 15x7J ET25. With winter 185/55 tyres they don't like my arches)
-
That grill now belongs to my friend, cause his Lupo 2.0ltrs (ABF & KR mix) have been injured a bit in accident.
