  1. Looks a lovely example Standard steering wheel isn't the best, but it's not the worst either lol. Look forward to seeing your progress...
  2. Nope. 190bhp standard, Schrick inlet, upgraded camshafts, head work, manifold, exhaust system and a custom map. Was 226bhp on a well respected dyno, so technically not 230. Even if it was over-reading, it just felt good. I'm not really one to chase numbers, but it's quite a well known car within the VW Scene both down in the South West, and up in Scotland which is where I bought it from. Was just always a very, very strong engine. Even before the work was done, it felt brilliant (as if it had been modified, but it hadn't). I wish I had put a charger on it tbh... just didn't want to spend any more money at the time as was moving house so needed to free up some cash.
  3. And a few of my previous builds... Mk3 Golf VR6 on air-ride, full mulberry leather retrim, Custom Only Charged Dubs Air ride install, 16" Schmidts, Vento front end conversion, numerous engine mods (226bhp dyno tested, but who knows) etc... And my Corrado G60 which was fully rebuilt including full respray, numerous new old stock parts fitted from around the world, upgraded charger setup and was inside at Ultimate Dubs a couple of years ago... Mk4 Golf R32 (wasn't really modified too much)... Static MR2... And my Abarth 500 on Fifteen52 Turbomac wheels, coilovers, numerous engine mods (190bhp)...
  4. Only in the first two pics. I Adjusted it and fitted camber bolts since, and the other pics show it all spot on and checked, all perfect now. Thanks. No issues with speed bumps at all, no rubbing issues either (front 15mm / rear 20mm spacers). Top spec as in it has air con lol. Sorry, was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment as most specs are very similar. Will try to get some done over the weekend, still getting the interior up to scratch (cleanliness OCD lol). Thank you
  5. The other option is to contact the supplying dealer in the UK who imported the car, more often than not they do a cambelt and water pump before sale (to cover them more than anything), they should have a record of this. I know my Japanese Import GTi had a cambelt and water pump kit fitted before it was sold, and that particular dealer does it on all of their imported cars.
  6. Hi boys & girls, thought I'd sign up and say hello. This is my Lupo GTi (Japanese Import)... Can also follow updates etc on Instagram @g60_chris
  7. After a little time away, I have returned to the VW scene, and thought it was about time I signed up and said hello and introduce my recently acquired Lupo GTi... It's a 2003 6 speed model (53) which was imported to the UK from Japan in 2015 however it had sat parked up for a year as the previous owner bought a rather nice mk7 Golf GTI and had heavily modified that, so the Lupo sat under cover on the driveway, however it was regularly started and moved and checked over. Standard spec is largely the same as the top spec UK models with Xenon lights, although it does have nicer heater controls than the UK models! It's had 1 previous UK owner and 1 owner in Japan, 85k on the clock and is really, really clean. I've been looking for a nice example for a while, between myself and the mrs this is our 3rd Lupo GTi now, they're such great little cars! It came with a few modifications that the previous owner had carried out: Adjustable coilovers (not sure on brand), 15mm front hubcentric wheel spacers, 20mm rear hubcentric wheel spacers, BMC Carbon air intake, Custom front fog lights fitted, Rear wiper delete, KAM Racing stainless cat-back exhaust system, Cambridge rear lights, Pioneer Apple carplay double din head unit and upgraded speakers all round. I spent the first week after buying it detailing it in the evenings, and on the weekend getting it all up to scratch (detailing OCD). Also removed the rear window tints and wind deflectors, gives it a much cleaner look. Here's the results...
