loopypoo Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 right i have a very low budget of £1500 not alot i know but needs must, ive currently got a skoda fabia vRS 184bhp and i love it but the only thing thats hurting me is my renewal at £2600, £800 more than last year im doing around 20,000 miles a year and need a diesel, im just wondering which would be best for me, ill be keeping it standard for a year or so then throwing a 1.9 tdi lump in and i do mean this im not just a talker lol.ill do the obvious things coilovers, wheels, bit of smoothing but nothing engine wise for a year, im also a plasterer on the side so will use the rear of the car with no seats for my side jobs, now i know your thinkng why not buy a bigger car but i love the lupo and im adament on having another i just need your help on the engine side.any help would be legend regardsmatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 After a Fabia vRS, you'll find a Lupo SDi to be really slow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fow Vay Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 After a Fabia vRS, you'll find a Lupo SDi to be really slow! Yip, going from circa 184bhp to 59bhp is a slight drop in power! Standard vRS has 310Nm torque (so your remapped one will obviously produce a higher figure) - SDi has 115Nm!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopypoo Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 that was thecheapest i could find and my mums on it :/ not too bothered about the power yet as ill be 1.9ing it mid next year. my vrs is 460Nm and is a beast but i could cope for a while lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Get an SDI, i wanted a tdi, i could not find a nice one within 100 mil of where i live for less than 3k. pluss sdi has cheaper insurance. Also it would be a bit of a waste to cut up at tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
