Or is that a silly suggestion.LOVING your loop mate!!Front or rear?Depending onn that, it could be silly Haha i was actually looking at a mk1 rear bumper that was smoothed already onto it but never went any further with it. I'll probably jus end up fillin the recess and smoothin mine unless one comes up thats reasonably close to me I think hah yea a front bumper could be interesting lol! Well Ive gots the rear bumper to sort out on it, then I've gotta do something with the front bumper as I want something with a deeper air intake as half of my intercooler is actually covered atm so I want to exposte it fully if possible to suck as much air as possible can't decide whether to modify mine or source a different aftermarket/gti one? Then the rest really will mainly smoothing bits and bobs out here and there and a full respray probably mayb with the odd something special thrown in along the way lol! hoping to get something sorted staret of next year really ooo yea and most importantly that I almost forgot is gettin me bloody archs pulled and rolled so I can get some fatter rubber under there to get the power down and stop it rubbin like a b@'ch :s lol!Sam.

GreenyGreeny Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Looks epic , cant beleive i just read all that lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanny Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I've just read all this too..... i think its amusing how people think 250+bhp in a fwd car is too much and you cant use the power right..... you can use it how you like if you dont have a lead foot and know how to apply the power..... possibly getting a mk1 arosa sport next year once my mk4 cupra has gone so will eventually get round to doing a 20vt lump into one i think Just a quick question though, has anyone dropped the new 2.0ltfsi lump into an arosa / lupo yet? and also how do you go about things with drive shafts? do you use the standard ones? modify some others? as personally id hate to be running cut/welded shafts in a car with over 250bhp.......BTW awesome car pal, looks the nuts and im sure goes like stink well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Names_Buck Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hello folks, haven't done an update for a while and haven't been on here for a few weeks either :s My shafts are custom made ones althou i might be right in saying I think you can get away with using a standard vr6?? shaft on the one side but the other still needs to be custom I think.Recently had the car serviced and had her on the rollers again after a bit more tinkering this was the result286 bhp at the fly @ 4875 RPM234 bhp at the wheels and315 lbft at approx 4250 RPMof which both figures are up since its had a bit more mapping and was RR last June Car is in at southam bodies this week for some bodywork to commence as well, finally got round to that althou still no videos Sam.

I love the estate mk4's they look sick!! It's a 1.8T from the factory, AUM engine. All the bolt on bits for stage2, downpipe fmic etc and custom map. Dynos around 230bhp/255lbft and weighs about 1800kg with all my tools in the back Is your motor running oem management so you can pull fault codes from the ecu? If so i had a similar issue solved by taking some preload off the actuator. It wasn't releasing right making the ecu see overboost and sticking me in a temp. limp mode - happened on part load/throttle occasionally too. I've since tightened it back up and compensated for it in the n75 mapping. 1.8T's are basically my daily work (not sure if you noticed my reg plate?) so let me know if you want me to take a quick look, i'm only in dordon.

Nah i didn't notice ya plate but I thought you were local as i've seen you round on a few other occasions. Ah brill that could come in handy then, im currently sorta experimenting with it though because it seems to run loads better on some fuels than others.... I've switched onto shell v-power now as I filled up after UD and touch wood..... It doesn't seem to have done it yet so I'm gonna see how that goes but if i have no joy then I might well take you up on your offer Sam.
