  3. Just interested to know why you are replacing the exhaust. Is your other one broken? Selling your old one? might take the back box off you if your selling it.
  4. Hi all, I am crap with directions so need exact location or fool proof directions. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Will not have a navigator as coming on me own. how many lupos are going to be there? what time are people going to meet?
  5. Well that weekend is fine for me. but which day and where? as still not really sure of whats going on style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
  6. Does anyone know if there is an adjustable strut brace for the lupo gti.
  7. When & where? might need to book a day off work.
  8. Is the meet open to anyone on the forum? with or without a gti? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
  9. Have you left your old filter box in? have you rigged up a cooling pipe? I like engine sounds style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> so might invest. will it invalidate my insurance?
  10. Matt, How much was your induction kit fitted? Did you fit it yourself? does it make any difference?
  11. small chip in windscreen from racing my friend in his 106 rallye, and a dented skirting kit. White van driver forced me up a kerb and into a plastic bollard. Didnt see the dent till i got home. its under the sill so i was lucky. £400 to fix, but think i will leave it for the moment as i is skint shall we say. its not that bad, i have to point it out to people as they think it is part of the car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> should do the other side. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> they are bathurst gti wheels do you know if they can be done? (restored).
  12. I have scuffed 3 out of 4 wheels on my gti. anybody know if they can be restored?
  13. I think buying a faster car is the best answer. I have been looking at buying a sunday car. keeping loopy standard but might be buying a replica lotus 7 with a 2 litre ford engine for £2000. `0-60` about 6 secs wicked fun and insured third party limited to 4000 miles makes for cheap insurance. They also make good track cars. You wont belive what you can get for £2000 plus it was someones pride and joy so well looked after.
  14. bummer style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> mines 2001 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Well its free so no real bad news. you could arrange a test drive in a golf v6 4 motion to blast the time away! or a turbo. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

    Wheels

    Have spotted an Audi A2 with the RS4 wheels or something very like them. will they fit on loopy? They look really cool. Anyone got any spare loopy wheels they want to sell?

    NOS

    I dont think an insurance company would insure me with NOS on my car. They are not that happy with modded cars + Im only 20. So my insurance is a bitch. Yeah not really worth going to jail for 50 BHP may be 60 BHP. Ha ha. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Have you declared your induction kit.? does this affect insurance very much?

    NOS

    I think i am going to do the brakes first as i am not that impressed with the standard lupo brakes. I drove my mates 206 gti thought they were a lot more responsive. You only have to put a tiny amount of pressure on the pedal and you almost nut the steering wheel! would only fit NOS when I have sorted out brakes. Wouldnt tell my insurance company. already paying £1600! I think its only worth telling them about exterior mods. as you can remove all other mods by the time they come to check out your vechicle. Exhausts wheels and other exterior mods are all visible in photographs. I recommend keeping a camera in your car. Proved very usefull in my bus crash.

    NOS

    Looking into the costs of fitting NOS on loopy. Went in a modded saxo vts with NOS. Like the idea of flicking a missle type launch switch and ragging it. Any one know if a lupo has been fitted with NOS or if its possible? Do you think clutch might have to be upgraded?
  19. Saw the name james. Then clio 172. the garage i bought my car from said the guy had traded it in for a clio 172 could this be the same person? Milestone cars is where i bought it from, in stafford.
  20. I will be up for it. Will come with a mate, 106 rallye and of course loopy. if it is still in one piece. Septembers along way away! We could have are own little lupo cup race! I will bring a trophey! well a little one! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
  21. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> Chipped wind screen thanks to a friend wheel spinning in front of me. Any one know how much hey cost? dont think my insurances covers it.
