Al Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hello everyoneJust to let you all know I have joined up today as I am buying a Lupo very shortly and hope to become involved with the scene as much as I have been previously with others.I have previously owned a heavily modifed and twice magazine featured V@uxhall Nova but as this has come to the end of its life I have decided to move on....I have always liked the Lupo since sitting in one at the Motor Show 2 years ago. I have been looking at the Sport as the GTi is a little out of my price range but what do you think? I test drove a 1.0E yesterday which i found a little basic.If you're interested in my previous car, just follow the link below. I hope to come up with something original for my Lupo too... And I know from yesterday that VW's are much better made than V@uxhalls lolhttp://www.novaload.net/features/viewfeatu...re.php?ref=1796Cheers for you timeAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Lmao I got banned from Novaload when I tried explaining that the so called "Ice Experts" recomending SPLX were full of *****! lolLoving the interier! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Ive got a moddified 1 litre, and although I love the car, and wouldnt hear a bad word against them, I wish to God Id spent the extra on a Sport to save on an engine transplant.What have you got planned for the Loop mate?

tdwindustries Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 err wheres the steering wheel?personally novas not my cup of tea, but welcome to the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Its a snap off Boss Tim.If your steering wheel aint there, unless the thieves are carrying a spare one, theres no way there driving away in it!Great idea, been wanting one for ages, just cant find a good after market wheel.

Al Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Cheers guys.Not sure what I have planned yet, just looking for inspiration and something a bit different. Hopefully going to get a nice black or silver Lupo.I have to say i was suprised at the resposiveness of the little 1.0 litre, i didn't think it's be as good as it was.There are some really nice people on Novaload but there are some idiots with very narrow minds lolAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Aye I was stunned, we'd joined to try and give them som real advice, and got banned!Got an apology from them after I emailed them, but hey ho.The 1 litre is a pretty good engine, set off is really poor, but mid range is very good.Keeps up with most things whiles moving.The 1.4s 75bhp is very quick for the money, the sport is rapid and the GTi is pure sex on wheels.Its gonna depend on cost really mate.theres a couple of good examples for sale in the classifieds...

chris260 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hi Al,Nice to see another person who's seen the light and joining the dub scene! Nice colour on the nova and nice interior too, i'm sure i've seen it before in a mag. I'm not the biggest vauxhall fan but i won't hold that against you style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I've had a sport for about 4 months now and i definately made the right choice, good luck with it! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyggy Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Heya,Welcome to the forum matey...

Al Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 The cars has been in Redline and Total Vauxhall about six months ago.i've always liked VW's but wanted to finish the project I was working on. I aimed for the most most stripped road legal Nova in the country but ended up with it being the most stripped in Europe!Oh well, onto better things...... lolI am very tempted by the Sport. I was looking at insurance - I believe it's group 6 isn't it? It's much better than the group 11 I currently pay!Fyggy - yes mate, was on Novaloads stand at Trax. lol All the Novaload guys are trying to work out what car I'm gettting next!Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Its because the car comes with only 4 seats, insurance is wayyyy lower when you can carry less passengers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiDaBa Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Tigz i reckon Jimmeh got banned after what he said as well.

lupo_1.0 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 dont really like novas but i like yours. not to sure on the front bumper but i do like the rest a lot. i think i saw your car in a mag some were a few weeks a go. have you got a clear cutout in the floor? my mate was telling me about it.

Al Posted October 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Yes, it did have clear cut outs in the boot floor so you could see the carbon exhaust.This is it as of yesterday..... border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 OMG thats soo sad to see it looking like that, did you have an accident or what ? surely you would have been better off just selling her on ?welcome btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably only sold for £3000 as a car. Broken down I can get much more.Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
