Mitchell Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Cheers guys Got these today mates with lupo's emptied my shed notice any difference with the rear axle modification then? everytime i touch your car it rain's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 It looks lower, but still needs a bit more I think. I might take a coil out of the back and then just cable tie the spring to the axle so it doesn't bounce out.But then again I had everything out of the bcak so maybe putting the seats and that back in might bring it down a little bit more. Its not just the Lupo that makes it rain, its all my cars. Remember when we did the suspension on ratty and had to build that make shift cover out of a tarpaulin (sp?). That was canny poo.

Mitchell Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) the mod should bring it down at least another 10> 15 mm but the other benifit will be your less likely to burst a shocker seal as it now has a bit more travel. little bit more give on the hardness oh and dont cut the spring, f'ing hoopty tech, there's another way Edited March 30, 2008 by mitch unit 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 pmsl... listen to yoda mitch kam!! the 13's look well nice on. Dont blame anyone though if you get stuck or smack your sump!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 This is the only car I've had without chopped springs! Mickys is the true Hoopty though. When you jack it up the springs just fall out I'm just going downstairs to put the trim back in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 That looks mint! So have you cut your chassis leg? The seriosuly do look the tits though and your motor will look even better once you get the GTI lamps on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 yeah what have you cut? and why? im well confused!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 The chassis legs are standard. As long as you don't hit any huge pot holes they don't rub either. Can't wait to get the GTI lamps in, although I'm unsure on what to do with my indicators cause I like the smoked look the car has atm. But with bright chromey type headlights it won't look right with smoked repeaters and no one seems to do crystal front indicators.Although I am hatching a plan, just need to work out if it will work or not!

Little Green Giant Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) whats the plan!! cant you smoke the gti lamps? or get some light covers and smoke them for in the day? Edited March 30, 2008 by Little Green Giant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Well you can buy this tinting film stuff that smokes them. I was thinking of getting that. Cause if I don't like them then I can just peel it off. Where as if I do something more permanent then I'm a bit screwed. I fancy a bit of a change on the front end though so I'm looking into other things to tinker with.I still fancy a 3L front end but I'm not sure. I think I'm a bit late for that band wagon, even though I had everything ready for mine about a month after having the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 haha yeah do that! the tinting film thing!!! mmm 3L would be cool bt it has been done a few times now! let us in on the plan then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I need to go to Uncle Mitchs secret stash of Lupo bits and size things up on my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I reckon the tinting film will be pretty hard to apply because of the shape of the headlight, i could be wrong like. 3L will still look good though, there is only a couple that i know of, paulbin's and mitch's, so its not like they are a common thing. So i say go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 It does looks swish like, looking back at old pics.Although mine would obviously be a 3L front it would look totally different to the two about at the min! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 relocate your indicators in lower section then go smooth front end maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I think it would be to smooth on my car. The rest of the bodywork would need shaving to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I reckon the tinting film will be pretty hard to apply because of the shape of the headlight,That was my main concern cause of the headlight shape. I was wondering how they black chrome stuff, maybe something like that on the headlight internals would work? I'm not sure how these headlights work though so I don't wanna start ripping them apart and end up damaging them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
