baldy-andrew Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Thought i'd say hello style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Recently aquired an Arosa 16v on a 51'. Fun little car (although no match for the Civic Type R I had before it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> )It already has a non-standard back-box but it hangs rather low and looks a bit crap...I've fitted a K&N element and am beginning to think about suspension upgrades as well as some minor body-work tweeks.Any advice? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I heard about fitting Lupo Gti suspension? And spoiler? This sounds like a good starting point I s'pose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoxy Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Welcome to the site mate. I believe it's possible to get that backbox raised, search around and you'll see it's been done before. I'm not sure about how much GTI suspension changes a standard car although I believe Dubya and lunalupi have done this. Good luck style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subtle modder Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I heard about fitting Lupo Gti suspension? And spoiler? This sounds like a good starting point I s'pose...the spoilers alot of work and wouldnt bother to be honest theres other otut there that fit without the work and the Lupo Gti suspension will make it handle better but wont in reality visually lower it welcome and good luck the sports are a nice carwayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrified Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Have you thought of trying to make it lighter and up the bhp/ton?I had an 04 type-r I used to take it to santapod. the lupo (sport) is just as fast as that was over the 1/4 mile now after removing a bit of weight. link is in the sig.It certainly wouldn't match a type-r on the road or around a track but hopefully one day it will with a bit more tuning! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
