Tigz™ Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Tommorrow night all being well, probably Wednesday at the latest.What else you got planned Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 umm gotta get a new exhaust sorted then a new set of rubber and some cams. Although thinking of getting something more radical done with the engine. I've got a new job coming up so hopefully l'll have a bit more income to play with and might take it off the road for a bit. Maybe engine change.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poobah Posted August 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Reckon l could squeeze 10mm off the rear if l really tried. To be fair you haven't got a huge amount of room for lowering! :? C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poobah Posted October 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Morning peopleFollowing my brief thought of selling the Lupo l've had a change of heart............and bought some cool wheels for her instead. Below are a couple of pics to show you how things are progressing. The list so far is:Lupo GtiKW Variant 2 coilovers Dropped roughly 70mmViper cold air inductionSamco hosingBBS RM 6.5x15 Wheels165/50/15 Potenza'sV *** DUB no. plateFuture mod's will go down the slammed and filthy avenue with the addition of a new custom exhaust, manifold and maybe the thought of supercharging her at some point. Hope you like oh and cheers to Mitch, the wheels rock!Chris border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Edited October 3, 2005 by Poobah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
