Had a great weekend in general. Good to meet a few of the clublupo camp. Ended up parking my car with OPS as we had a go at the show and shine. Again shame about the few that ruined it for some i did see two guys fighting last night which i wouldn't expect from this kind of show. Also think someones car got crashed into in the campsite? from the d**kheads that decided to go racing round the field. Overall Fun times

LOL bring on edition and bring on the good weather!

Myself and a few others plan to be arriving at edition at 1pm so whats the plan on meeting up to sort out club stand etc... Should we just wonder over when we notice a large amount of lupo's turn up Picked up the interior from trimmers today just in time debut Edition yeah! Cheers Sam

Myself and a few others will probably be arriving before this meet up time but if we get delayed will join the convoy. Hoping to arrive around 1pm though.

nice motor were you in 5th at 25 with your foot off the gas to get that mpg from a VR?

Good work! Nice to see that i'm not the only one that has had their bathroom flood lately. Mine is directly above the kitchen and the ceiling decided to give way about 1am one night after what must have been a slow build up over some time. I must say artex can hold alot of water! Long story short thanks to insurance eventually all is pretty much back to normal apart from a few tiles i need to finish off and no more artex. These things are sent to test us. keep up the good work

simple but it works some nice rims would sort it imo

i always thought that using a bucket to wash your car was best but this is a bit excessive

"My current 3 cylinder doesn't drink a drip of oil. Water comes out the exhaust." Don't those 3 cylinder engine run on water anyhow

From speaking to a local vw specialist there are good and bad engines something to do with the quality of materials they use for the internal seals, rings etc. He seemed to think that some engine codes seemed to be more reliable than others. From speaking to other members on here also it seems that a few of the AFK models were not too good (like mine going at 64k) Whereas my friends has something like 80k and no sign of any problems (different code). But i've run in my engine fully and done a few miles since the rebuild and all seems to be good. In fact best its run in my ownership.... Though saying that mine was getting the black deposits on the back from when i got it though didnt think much of it to start with. So i guess the previous owner must have known. Knowing what the problem was i thought it was best i got it sorted and stick with the car rather than sell it on and pass on the problem. Hope this helps in some way, Sam.

Dan's username is Dann he has posted on this page dunno why my link is broke (not too computer literate) but will both be attending from friday to sunday. Both have changed since anyhow, pick my interior up 3 days before edition so prob won't post any pics before then. Look forward to meeting all the guys an gals of clublupo.

Most probably piston rings i have just had the same problem with mine was putting around half a litre in every week, had the black deposits up the back of the car and milage was only 60k. ended up getting a full engine rebuild as i didn't want to let the car go. Now runs better than it ever has, If you do i'd reccomend the engine shop. Sam

Nice Great coilovers have them on mine too best ones i've had.

WOW!

Nice work like what you've done to improve it. Always loved the wheels on this when i saw it around leamington now you've only gone and made them better Look forward to seeing this at edition, Sam

Good work Ollie cars really coming together now, love the wheels. mine's going to greg's next week

Can't wait to see the next phase of this car always loved it..... Update?

ideas anyone?

Cambridge Lights: Part Numbers: `6X0-945`-`095-F` `6X0-945`-`096-F` Or cheaper from Awesome

Just fitted my momo team 280mm steering wheel plugged in the resistor turned ignition and airbag light comes on, have i just connected it wrong or does it need to go on vagcom? Cheers Sam

Not too sure obviously the owner has put a lot of time and money into this car. Personally i prefer the more subtle and understaded look but thats the good thing about modifying cars the choices are endless

Me and a few friends are thinking of coming on the saturday i know its pretty late planning but checked an still rooms left in the hotel thinking of going on to amsterdam on the sunday any up for the extended roadtrip? really is late planning so see what happens

Replace the switch think they are about £9.00 from gsf and its the usual problem though they normally just stop altogether but it'll be cheaper than letting VW loose on it

would i need any additional parts to do this conversion to a sport or is it literally just carriers and disks, then use standard calipers? Cheers Sam

keep the plans under wraps for now Dan
