Skezza Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) That is a damn nice Lupo buddy. Cracking condition too. Your door handle + pillar mod will look great when done. Will make it real classy.Hate to say it, but I never got lowering the 1.0L version. I've always thought that any gain in handling would be countered by the fact the car really isn't quick enough off the blocks and mid range to require that kind of lowering. However, plenty on here will disagree no doubt and I suppose on the right roads a lowered 1.0L would probably feel mental Edited January 24, 2013 by Skezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Handling still improves no matter how powerful the car is. Though let's be honest most of us lower our cars far beyond the point of handling improvement, cos it looks awesome & arch gap is hideous What's with the excessive rear camber though? Totally unnecessary on them tiny wheels & looks a bit daft tbh.Like the smoothed bits & co-pilot though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah hopefully the vinyl should work wellAs for the lowering, i have to agree with koop.. it looks awesome What's with the excessive rear camber though? Totally unnecessary on them tiny wheels & looks a bit daft tbh.Like the smoothed bits & co-pilot though Tbh i fitted the camber as an experiment, and because i never had toe-in issues i never got round to taking it off. Once my wheels are on and some spacers fitted it should more sense hahaBut glad you like the smooth bits.. and the co-pilot haha Edited January 24, 2013 by tyler_lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler_lupo Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 So today i took benji out for the first time in a couple days, and noticed that he wasn't running as smooth as before. Then after about 2 minutes of driving i experienced a loss of power and a jerky ride, which was then followed by the check engine light flashing at me. After limping back home i came to the conclusion it was a misfire, so over the weekend ill hopefully get round to sorting out the problem.Thanks, Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler_lupo Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 So its been a while since i was last on, and a few stuff has changed.. Mainly that my smooth front bumper has gone but oh well aha. Anyways here's some pictures..Still working on the ride height, still not low enough.. Also got a few little plans in the works that should be interesting, and also a new set of wheels (whenever i can afford some)Thanks, Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler_lupo Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks guys..What happened to your front bumper then?It cracked pretty much all the way round, then literally fell off..Was just one big lump of fillerNice work, lose the stickers, flaps and dangly bits Cheers dude.. Tbf i go through phases where i either have the flaps on or i don't, but lately all they do is scrub the floor which gets annoying after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
