Gavs_arosa16v Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I was a bit tempted at first, but it looks as if its been properly abused and for 7500 no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putney Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 it looks *****! why would you want that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 if indeed ian b built the car it should be nice, and 7500 is near enough what you'd get charged for said conversion so.....free car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyp Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) lol, its running rotor discs all round, so should stop fairly well.Bit confused though as i thought ian birch stuck an s3 motor in, hence the plate, not a seat one..

chris260 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Anyone want to buy a low mileage sport?! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> It wouldn't take long at all to sort out the dodgy bits, don't see what's so bad about it really? You know if Ian Birch built it it's going to have been done properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavs_arosa16v Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 On that reciept it looked like it was done in 2005. Hopefully it has not been runined in the last 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 It must've had something else done then, was built by Ian Birch in about 2002 i thought. It used to be covered in sponsor stickers. Definitely the same car though, i've got the mag with it in upstairs somewhere. Think it was the first Lupo 1.8T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 0.60 under 4 second and will go off the 140MPH clock and do a massive 175MPH Only running at 1.1 bar boost. All you need is one adjustable which will take you to 400BHPRaced the new Evo 9 XT 400 mapped to 429bhp and left him for dust ha ha ha he knows who he is!!!!yes my friend , increase boost to get an extra 120bhp out an engine ... perfect way to blow it to smithereens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thats a mint car.All it takes is a set of lamps, and a touh of bodywork and it'd make a great little car.'Looks *****' my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plug Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 what brakes does this run?? must have some speed about itG60 brakes all round,Spoke to the owner the other day whilst down the vw breakers yard trying to get my mate a Cat for his mk4 gti (serious lowness + bump's = broken cat)Yes its takky modded, but end of the day like tigz said its a 1.8T lupo, PERFECT project. It wasnt in bad nick when i saw it paint looked half deecent.Jabba carryed out the conversion and he said he hasnt had one problem since it was fitted. Sounded the nuts tbh.

Clouseau Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 this is a good opportunity to see the resale market value of this kind of conversion, i think it will be quite low price, certainly no where near £7k. half that i expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
