blister Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Its all sorted now only things left to do is have the tracking done and have the cambelt fittedi gave the lupo a good ol'e clean today only managed to get to the polishing stage as i had other things to do. I plan on colour coding the front splitter to match the wheels but i am not sure on doing it yet as the splitter is always touching the tarmac!

blister Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 i want weitecs i believe there adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I has weitecs, they must go pretty damn low cos I'm a couple of turns up at the rear & there's looooads of thread at the front. I haven't tried any others to compare but I reckon they're reasonably comfortable considering how low I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blister Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 are they adjustable? Think i am getting them mixed up with the gaz ones. Hopefully get some more track race orientated coilovers soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 You can get adjustable ones. If you want adjustable Coilies, kw v3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Ah we're talking ride adjustment I take it. There's always the Spax RSX kit for half the price of the V3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blister Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 :)height & stiffness adjustability. Drove from croydon to buckinghamshire today didnt miss a beat! Very nice to drive with the rear anti roll bar in place! And looking forward to the 2nd part of the journey tomorow up to santa pod!Lupo was filled to the brim with petrol and i used a quarter of the tank and done 100miles which is good in my opinion 400miles to a whole tank! I believe my rear wheel bearing has started wearing out now thou as there is a sound like a cricket coming from the drives side rear!
