Tigz™ Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Traded the GTI today with little sleeper.Love it!Love the Forge Logo on the intercooler.Couple of panels need a little work, but its a solid little car. √Gonna see if I can get a Lupo dash and steering wheel in there.The main conversion is spot on, but the engine has been replaced with a 25k mile engine.I love boost also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 So the Lupo will be on hold for another few years then Andi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 It has to anyway, I don't have the cash to finish it this year to the standard I want it to be.I've spent many years without it, don't want to rush it as Im on a budget.Next years financial situation should be better.This only needs effort, not money.The Lupo will still be put back into a car this summer, but I don't have the cash for interior, ECU and mapping right now.

treblet Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 What's the plans for the polo in the mean time then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Paint the front bumper and N/S wing. Paint the mirrors black. Fit my freshly referbished GTI rims and keep the ones that are on as winter/track wheel. Lower the coilovers to stop be driving it fast on the road. Fit a Lupo dash and GTI clocks. Fit my audio with a new edition. Either change the mk5 tailgate back to the mk4 item and possibly fit a 6N2 GTI headlamp but with the 6N grill and 16v bumper. Want it to remain stelth though.

Putney Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Put a nice interior in and do the other mods you have planned... It will be a great little car then! What BHp is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz_Wilko Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 im sure ive seen this car before around middlesbrough a member of section 5 i think?Yup thats right buddy, Guy who had it before tigz lives in acklam, its a rapid motor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I saw this on Section 5 for sale and thought someone would snap up a bargain! Definitely needs a few mods in the taste department but it looks like a cool little sleeper. Wasn't the one i was thinking about when i read your facebook but i think that one was twice the price of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 quality machine, what does the missus reckon to it?! She doesn't like it lolShe'll come around once its done though Fit the Lupo dash if you can, that will definitely smarten that interior up!Yeah, other than than the dash the car doesnt feel that dated.Need a GTI steering wheel as well though.What BHp is it?I have no idea mate, it has a K03 Turbo so cant see it being much mroe than 180 bhp?It needs fine tuning, it is under fueling when cold and its over fueling at high revs.The exhaust pops and bangs when you lift off at high revs in 5th Yup thats right buddy, Guy who had it before tigz lives in acklam, its a rapid motor! really nice guy.Would have done a swap if he wasn't, glad to see my car has gone to a good home too I saw this on Section 5 for sale and thought someone would snap up a bargain! Definitely needs a few mods in the taste department but it looks like a cool little sleeper.My car was probably worth £4,000 once the shock absorbers and few other bits and bobs were replaced.But It would have cost me at least £400 to get it to how I would have felt right selling it so I am happy with the deal.20v 6N for no money when you realise how much money has been spent.Its a propper Sleeper dude, can't wait to embaress my first Mk5 Golf GTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeAl Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi Andi,If the car was a 150/180bhp engine to start with I'd usually say around 195-210 is reasonable without excessive modifications. As for the overfueling issue, I'd have a good strong look over all of the breather hoses as these can be problematic on these engines.Hope that helps cheif Get down on Saturday and slip it on the rolling road on the R32OC rolling road day! see what it can do!

Coming down the M1 tonight at 75 in the left lane, wait for Merc to pass my bumper then boot it, wait for it to pass then boot it.. Couldn't get a proper traffic light grand prix tonight, except a cock in a 306 TDI with dump valve trying his luck and getting wasted more than he thought possible lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I think my final 3 points may be used up with this motor.I don't think I will be able to refrain from swapping the bits over into the Lupo though.I can not live my life without this power!
