Mike_M Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Looks like a tidy engine Andi.Think the Lupo/Polo style dash will be a good move......or just stick all the engine etc into the Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Only just noticed this thread. Sounds like I need to come round to have a look soon. I like 'comedy cars' that look stealth but go like feck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 lmao you were happy about that....bet ou had a cracking run home aswell ?I've spent £90 on fuel in three days mate I love it, I've decided to transfer everything over into my Lupo as its due to come out the paint shop in the next few weeks.Both of us have done well I think, perfect swap.Love not having to sell things.Only just noticed this thread. Sounds like I need to come round to have a look soon. I like 'comedy cars' that look stealth but go like feck.Mate you'll love it.. I'm going to Kidderminster on Sunday night, I'm hoping to go to Peterborough either Saturday night or Sunday, perhaps we could meet somewhere?

Tigz™ Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Got the interior and seat belts secured in place and the amp and speakers wired, and my iPhone connected to the head unit.Found a blue and orange repeater lamp so fitted those until I get some clear ones off Noddy.Need a indicator switch and get the 6N boot lid fitted before Sunday when I'm going down south for a few days.Gonna get the wing mirrors and N/S wing painted Saturday and that will be it.Not doing anything else to the car which isn't going to be removed and fitted to the Lupo.New front discs and pads, and handbrake cables next week and that'll be it.

Mike_M Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 The transplant to the Lupo is going to be a great move mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm presuming everything will be a straight swap into the lupo then, running gear and everything? I'm slightly regretting not going to have a look at the car myself now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I think it will be.I read this week that the older Polo GTIs and Lupos didn't have canbus clocks, so I need to look into those.I'll just take out everything including the loom and I expect it'll be as close to a straight swap over as you can get... maybe.20v conversion, Emerald ECU already wired and mapped for £3000.Bargin in my eyes!

Daz_Wilko Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Went to see Kris yesterday, and he's over the moon with the swap himself, and ive had a look over your old polo and needless to say, its tidy as foosh, and sounds pretty good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
