Norpan Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Now Lupo is started finally!After a bit of trouble with air leakage around the injectors it now runningfine and steady.The throttle response is much better then last years setup so it will be nice tohave a testdrive soon. But theres just the one problem with about 2dm of snow outside the garage.....I´m hoping for spring to come soon but ´till then i´ll take it outside and have proper warmupso i could spot any leeks or so, maybe there will be a little video of it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norpan Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) oh yes! my girlfriend has family in sweden, mentioned its snowing there now (shes over there alot)Did you do the wiring yourself? what sort of brakes you using? so many questions! lolYep, lots of snow : )Then you need to come over here too for a garage visit perhaps sometime...I did all wiring myself, theres no fun in letting someone else do all the tricky parts... I´m using 280mm G60 discs with Golf Vr6 calipers + carriers and grenstuff pads in the front.In the back i´ve got Lupo Gti discs + carriers and Polo 6N2 calipers, ferodo ds pads.The master cylinder is from a Passat -91 G60 and the loadsensing valve is from a Golf Vr6.The car has no ABS-system.

Norpan Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The new setup is finished and has been out from the garage for a quick testdrive, lotsmore power than last year and much faster spool-up of the boost : )Lupo have also been washed and polished for the first time this season and is nowwaiting to be displayed at "Bilsport Performance and custom motor show" next weekend.Before that i´ll have proper test run to know that the bits will work properly.Pictures from the show will be posted as soon as possible : ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
