  1. I have an S3 rear subframe which I need to mount at the rear so the floor needed to come out anyway. I'll mount that with the RS4 diff in a cradle then run a shortened TT prop. I've noticed the original GTI subframe raises up in the middle leaving little space for the prop but from what I can see the 1.2TDI subframe is paralel from mount to mount which will leave me more tunnel space.

  2. I've stripped the engine bare & want to make up some silicone hoses but am wondering whether there is a simpler way to plumb it all in like cutting out certain pipework etc. I've heard about the breather removals etc & am hoping for a guide or advice.

  3. I'm putting my 20v in the front now with a 02M 4wd box for the conversion but am unsure what engine mounts people use.

    The gearbox mounting I will sort myself but I've heard so many different things as to which engine mounts work with this conversion from Polo to Seat Leon TDI mounts.

    Can anybody advise me which ones to use? Part numbers would be ideal.

    Thanks in advance guys.

    four wheel drive with the engine in the back?

     

    Yeah like a Porsche 911 C4S!

    haha no thinking of putting the engine in the front with TT/S3 drivetrain/Haldex unit.

    I've already got the rear subframe mounted in for rwd but thinking outside the box before I start more work.

    Sure i read the build thread for that a while back, think it was A3 quattro running gear and the Lupo shell modded to fit it.

    Yeah I actually read about that one, that's the only one I seen whilst searching. Hopefully looking for somebody to ask a few questions though. Thanks anyway as it's quite an informative read. ??

    I just don't think 500-600bhp will accelerate very well as just a rwd even though the engine will only sit slightly in front of the rear wheels.

  6. Has anybody fitted a TT Quattro gearbox into a 1.8T Lupo?

    I'm in the process of doing a rwd conversion with a stroked 1.8 to 2.1. I'm thinking that I'm not going to put the power down very well so thinking of TT/S3 box & running gear but wondered if this has been done before.

  7. Bought a brand new Draper mig welder last week & it burned out just feeding the wire through the liner so sent it back & ordered a Sealey Supermig 180 so knocked me back a week already.? Hopefully should have the sububframe in place by the end of next week ready to fabricate the lower rose jointed wishbones.

    Also after a bit of research I decided to go down the 2.1(2067cc) stroker kit that Integrated Engineering offer. Also now the EFR 6258 turbo is out of the question as it only takes up to 450bhp.  May have to go down the EFR8374 route now as it's still one of the fastest spooling turbos & is good for up to 750bhp.

    Can't help feeling sad about this one. There's still time to sell it on to me you know....

    it is already doomed.

    It's currently on a life support but I'll be bringing it back to life very soon. Hopefully it will have a more active lifestyle than before too.B)

    golf front coilovers actually fit the front of a lupo as well.

    theoretically you could fit the turret from the front of a loop to the back for this application. 

    I was thinking of cutting the turrets from front of golf & welding them into the rear but also veering towards fabricating my own. Didn't know Golf fitted to Lupo front turrets though, thanks.??

    I know but he's possibly putting a front subframe in the back with an engine.

    It's for the front.  As I'm using a Mk3 Golf front subrame for the rear I have to get Golf front coilovers fro the rear of the Lupo.

    Expensive? that's per strut mind. Is this for the rear or all round? Is this going to be fast road or built for competition?

    Yes they are quite expensive but I have a direct account with Bilstein (I own a motor factors in S.Wales)so I get the quite a lot cheaper.
