badger5 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) its 1.8T yes.in a relatively plain 1.0 wrapper. (its former self)ibiza has sponsors to promote, so sadly sticker_ville. (not my cup of tea at all if anyone remembers it before.. plain jayne debadged only wearing nordschleif sticker on boot)Lupo is better on its new coiles, but still too much roll.ARB for rear beam to make to see how that settles things.Good fun tho. surprised quite a few cars on the day. which is always a laff Edited November 5, 2006 by badger5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very respectfull to her car all day, not ragging it, or sliding it and staying off curbs etc... but the last session I did I raised my game as I "had" (lol) to pass a Rover race car on slicks. The brakes got a wee bit warm during that excursion it seems, but from inside the car you would never have known.Oulton is ace.. Full circuit.Its me who has to pay for all the bits I wear out and brake at the end of the day... tyres look a bit tired.

badger5 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) what did the conversion cost ya?Probably as much as a like aged Lupo GTi would cost me.not cheap... but its not your avg Lupo either.I will be fitting my old PE1820 IHI hybrid on to it, along with some S3 pistons and forged rods... all ready to go on. Fitting will be on my equal length 1.8T mani too, so the thing should fly when done with an anticipated 370bhp (maybe more)Ballistic then, not thats its slow now.
