mattarosa Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) That looks great, why have you got rid of the bumper with fogs? Edited December 25, 2016 by mattarosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Firstly my car haven't had them from the factory. Secondly it seems to me that without fogs the whole front is more clean. Thirdly I've decided to make smth like rally lights on my hood or just make a bashbar with big fogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Fair enough you should have fitted the fog lights, what are you doing with that fog light grill then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That grill now belongs to my friend, cause his Lupo 2.0ltrs (ABF & KR mix) have been injured a bit in accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 If you have the space in the engine bay, fit some inlet trumpets. You'll get maybe another 6-7hp. Very nice project. Good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

mk2 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 You can choose long ram tubes (trumpets) for low down power torque peak or short ones for high rpm power torque peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Edited March 6, 2017 by NailTimVideo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 If the tube is narrow, you get more torque, less power. You can read on the web all about the link between rpm, torque, power, cylinder volume, air temperature and pressure and the speed of sound in air. Every cylinder stroke the air needs to be changed, and at wide open throttle the volume of air in the tube and head is sucked into the cylinder... And replaced. Its interesting science. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a problem. Or try and find some info here: https://www.drive2.ru/r/volkswagen/1703370/ 2 hours ago, Blue Loop said: Is there a big difference when driving around? I prefer the black ones aethetically 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NailTimVideo Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 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.

NailTimVideo Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
