a question about lupo in uk

[Ramirez]

Dont know about that! dont care how much he tunes it, with the amount of crap in his boot hes still going to be slow as ****! Saying that supose it'll at least be an enyoyable 10min `0-60`!

Buy the time I have the transplant, I will be Subless, with a set of XXX componants, so I'll make sure you regreat that comment Adam style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> hehe

John it was at the lights on way home from Blackpool, I tried raceing fran (Notice the word try, I kept up for about 5 yards lol) and you and Max went off in front up to the speed camera.

Remember it?

[bossjohnc]

Hmmm.... no.... To be fair I'm not sure I was really trying! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

I'll gladly take it to the pod though!!

Was Sarah with me at the time? Perhaps she remembers...?

[Tigz™]

Ya, Sarah was with you, and Andy Breal was with me and Emma. (Thats my excuse anyway lol)

Tell me about it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Does the GTi have the same problem Snoop?

What can be done to cure it?

[Snoopy]

Fit a turbo.

I wouldn't have thought yours would be so bad (relatively) - 16v engines are notorious for suffering from lack of torque low in the `rev-range`, whereas 8v engines are supposed to pull pretty well all the way through the rev range (although run out of puff earlier)

[Tigz™]

The exhaust is my Problem, before that you'd be alright over 2.5k

Didnt really notice it so much until I got out of the Curtasy car back into ours this year.

There is also a 1.2 TDI in Europe - this does 100KM on 3 litres of diesel (it's a 1.2 Turbo Diesel).

The GTI gets it's lightweight aluminium body parts from this car.

I saw one on M11 on Monday, right hand drive, UK plates style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />. YOu know GTi nad TDi badges are partialy red outlined? 1.2 TDi is green outlined style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> nice

I'd have thought that it wouldn't bother with badges to save weight style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Its like how VW Vans have a blue 'D' or 'i'

Sure it wasn't a UK version with 3L bumper and grille?

It looked 100% kosher to me... I know you can order RHD directly from Wolsfburg (sp?) and they will make it to order. Four years ago it worked out the same price (I wasn't enquiring about Loop then mind you) as RHD bought here if not slightly cheaper.

I wonder how tuneable 1.2 TDi is?

My better half's Passat is 1.8 20v Estate `cow-of`-`a-car`. It's crap when it comes to `0-60` but it never stops pulling. On Deutsche Autobahn I managed to take her to 140mph style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />, and keep her there for a while style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />. Almost $hit myself in a process since I was on winter tyres...
