My_Names_Buck Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 has the accident damage been repaired on it now then? :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Names_Buck Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 whats the point of more than 200bhp in a lupo? it would be rubbish. unless you did a rwd conversion. now that would be very nice indeed.I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with that statement, but hey ho thats just my point of view I thought JBS where quite expensive as when I got a quote it was £7500 plus the vat and I think that was using a 150bhp engine? and that was without any extras such as polishing, samcos, dumpvalve, smoothing, etc.It is well worth you giving PSI Tuning a ring if i was you, they did mine THIS is the link to my project thread if you wanna have a look.Sam.

dubsy Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Just wondering how much times have changed.How much has it been to do, or prices quoted?ive been quoted £4500 recently and thats to supply and fit the engine, im just in the process now of buying bits and bobs i.e uprated intercooler, recirc valve and the likes ready for when i have it done to keep the final cost down, hoping to have it done for next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 i reckon the new vw 1.4 superturbo would be a good engine to put in the lupo. nice and light weight it should be. and with enough power that a fwd car could cope with.I thought that also but when asking my mechanic friend he said there would be big issues with the fueling system as you would have to use FSI and to the best of my knowledge they didnt make FSI lupos in the UK but i may be wrong. Would be nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Just wondering how much times have changed.How much has it been to do, or prices quoted?A year ago I was quoted 5k, including new brakes and a roll cage, drive in, drive out.This is running original VAG management on original clocks I believe.

LiamD Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 That is.Can't guarantee it will be the same price now but expect around the 5k mark - maybe less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Pop in and see them and you'll get a much better idea.Andy is a perfectionist and will tell you straight the costs.

Philplop Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Yeah, his bay is mint.Might have to have a run along with you one day.Probably will never happen, like, but no harm in dreaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
