vdublo Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Turned 17 in October and after a bit of hunting managed to find a Lupo 1 mile down the road. Test is coming up next month so started to buy a few bits and bobs for the wagon.Car is a Flash Red 1.0E, 2001 Y rest over 51k on the clock along with full service history, stoked on finding it.Ordered some spanking new alleycats along with everything needed to make the new shoes fit.Also just had a set of AP coilovers arrive from venom!Pictures of the car will be up asap.Looking to have the car ready for early Feb, then wishing to save for a new interior set up and colour coded bumpers!

d4n91 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Nice alloys what's the spec of them ???? 15's ? Fastest colour too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdublo Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 yeah easily an extra 20 hp for it being red they're 13's (101.6 pcd i think or something like that) and et -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdublo Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 come to the conclusion that the fronts won't fit over the callipers, can't be dealing with spacers, so going to grind them decently, hopefully. Arches are getting tapped up on the 11th and then everything should be sorted on the car by the end of march.Picture of the car still pending i keep forgetting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdublo Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Cars just gone off to get the arches rolled and callipers grinded. hello 13's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdublo Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 photo of the wagon gave her a quick clean. Noticed that the wipers aren't working but found a blown fuse so that's explained. Who ever owned this car before needs a slap, hair spray all over the stalks, the paint is actually pretty bad so going to try and get it touched up and machine polished. Also the seats are pure filth so going to gradually scrub them up gave them a good go today and barely removed a layer of grim haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabbles21 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 This highlights the problem with 13s.Have you had a chassis notch yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdublo Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 no jabbles didn't need it nothings touching, although the ARB is pretty low to the floor but can be dealing with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
