Alex_225 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I still haven't really had any comments on my Lupo, well nothing bad, just the odd thumbs up from people. I do recall having a bit of fun with a mate of min who has a Mitsi FTO, for a V6 engine they really aren't that quick. Both sitting at the lights and both put our foot down a bit when pulling away. Must have got 2 cars length on him in by the time I was in 2nd gear. Pulled up afterwards and just got 'It's quite quick that isn't it!', through gritted teeth!! haha Euro - 1, Jap - 0! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeAl Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's de-catted and a stolen cone filter, budget mods!The manifold depends on what happens on the engine front this Winter Can you guys get adjustable top mounts for the Mk3 platform? Struggling to find any.Shouldn't need them, The Mk3's have the two bolt setup at the bottom of the strut don't they ? Should have enough adjustment when it comes to camber, and tbf you don't really want to be messing with castor angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
