peepin_eyes Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 (edited) First post in a long long time from me on this forum, and it feels good to be back again. I became a member I think it was in 2001(?) or something when the forum was all new, I think i got the tip from someone on LupoClub.de back then to register, but my old log-in don't seem to work anymore. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />Yes, I will mount a new numberplate. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />I promise I'll fix some better photos later on, the weather this weekend was useless... <IMG SRC="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif"> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Edited October 20, 2007 by peepin_eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll find someone who's willing to trade or sell perhaps a Sparco evo or something for me and an evo L for the passenger side , that might do the trick. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Other modifications, well they're not so many yet, and hopefully it stays that way... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> H&R Coilovers, the above mentioned seats, KN 57i kit, fully stainless handbuilt exhaust from the manifold and back in 2,5" with 'racecat'. There were some things that I got with the car which might come to use before the tracks open next spring, Powerflex bushings for front and rear and a H&R antirollbar, that's it I think. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Very nice mate. look forward to see more pics. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Photography is another hobby I have, so there might be good chances for more pics later on. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepin_eyes Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 looking nice mate, what exhaust system you running??The rumour says it's a Uppsala avgasteknik built system. It's a bit loud, but that's the way it should be, sound really nice. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepin_eyes Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Sweet lookin car with different wheels every week. lolWhy have a coke can for a washer reservoir?The best thing for me might be to have different wheels on the left and right side och the car so I don't need to change them so often. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> The coke can is there to keep the weight down, why use something bigger? Don't know why he didn't use a coke light can though... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> That car is light, right now he says it weighs 775kg's, the engine i still stock 75hp. But he drives it like he stole it and that sure is a car I hope that I'll keep him behind the gti on the tracks next season. My old Clio 172 and I had serious troubles keeping him behind...

I hate to buy cars so close to the winter because it's a long wait for spring. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track is called Kinnekulle Ring and this is the fastest bend of the track 'under the bridge'. A 170'ish km/h corner with the Clio, but the Lupo had the disadvantage of a long straight before the left turn under the bridge. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> A very nice track, perfect for small cars as the Lupo.Movie of the track: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=46...mp;q=kinnekulleYes I know it's a bike vid and Ãt seems to go much slower on a bike, laptimes of 1.20 the 1,4 Lupo did it in a little under 1.10...

So you think I should submit the gti-snowpic to the 08-calender. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> But who is in charge of the calender duty and to who should I send the pic in that case? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> I was thinking of washing the car and give it another shot with the little better camera I have, I took this one with a canon ixus55, a really cheap pocket camera. I have a little bigger one too, a canon 300d systemcamera (almost a veteran by now). I'll give it a try this weekend, they say the snow will be here over the coming weekend to at least.Thats a sweet looking gti you own btw, that color looks really good. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a submission thread up sometime in March in the 'Off Topic & General' forum, once thats up you can post the image in that thread. Then later there will be a public vote. Just make sure you have a nice hi res original ready incase your image is chosen, you do have a hi res of that shot don't you?And thank you. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
