Not done a massive amount to the Lupo, fitted a uprated lower engine mount created by nfbr on here.Makes a massive difference under braking and smoother under acceleration too. Also had a full service, just needs cambelt change now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Are you fitting the exhaust as it is or changing the end pipes?Was the lower mount you removed worn, or is it better just because this one is stiffer?Looking brilliant as always matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought a new one, was going to fill it with polyurethane resin like CasperGTI did, then Al thought of this. So will fill the old one now and sell that on.

Mike_M Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 How much was the mount..........looks interesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 How much was the mount..........looks interesting?I've done 6 of them so far, 5 in GTI's and 1 in a TDI. The one in a TDI was only a Semi-Success though as it increased dash vibration a fair bit. If you send me your original mount in the post, I'll modify it and send it back for £25 (service + parts) plus Postage. Could probably post it back for £7 or £8 via Courier. PM me if you are interested however just be aware the turn around is generally 2 days from me receiving the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerz Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 There was a thread a while ago with a supposed Jap spec GTi in it, a few members thought the number plate recesses looked shorter and that it had an MD headunit (bossjohn IIRC ) but I think it was more likely just a shadow in the photo. No further pictures have ever been found It was me! Local breakers yard had one in that had been repaired and had 6 miles on clock. I wanted it for ages. I saved and about 4 months after seeing it when to go down with a deposit and say Il have it and it went earlier that week! GUTTED! It was a red one. Had MD player and I was told it was a Jap spec and everyone on here thourght it was too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Wonder how it ended up over here. I've seen a pic of the MD headunit, really weird! Why did we have to only get crappy cassette ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Right, small update.Bought a new PAS bracket, then painted it in Gloss black 2K.Gloss Black by 99hjhm, on flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Fitted a second hand Janspeed stainless exhaust with twin 31/4" tail pipes, waited ages for one to come along as Janspeed don't make them like this anymore. The center section is unsilenced. Fitted all new stainless clamps with stainless bolts and stainless hose clips round each of the exhaust mountings to raise them all up so the exhaust fitted perfectly.

99hjhm Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 After not keeping on top of the paint over the summer it wasn't really show standard anymore, so decided to do this....Lupo GTI by 99hjhm, on flickrLupo GTI by 99hjhm, on flickr..and came away with a class win, beating a Saxo, R26 Megane and some classic stuff!
