Snoopy Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 15.8 seconds isn't quite as impressive as the word 'supercharged' implies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Quite - not sure if he did any better... was shocked to see it and couldn't understand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Presuming it was a supercharged GTI, not a supercharged 1.0? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbin Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 if u can remember an issue on PVW wen they reviewed Edition 38, there was a small picture of a silver lupo on steel wheels, i believe that is the lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 its prolly just been done, and he hasnt set up ecu or boost yet, wont be suprized if he is still on 11.`5-1` compression .i remember chatting to him, his name is Hakeem , he had polo Gti wheels on his loop at santa pod .. if its the same guy , gonna send him an sms tomorrow and see if he is keen on a set of forged pistons + rods style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 What's your mate done to his 1.4?Standard GTI struggles to beat 16 seconds! (I've never got under 16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish_Sport_16V Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 best i got out of my sport robbin was 16.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Dont forget lads that the Polo has a diffrent gear box to the Loop, I read in a post by Dogwood that it was a closer ratio 'box.The times 'should' be quicker than the Loop from a standing start.Would be good to watch a Club Lupo vs Club Polo Pod meet.If sure there would be some 1.0 Polos for me to race style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Lupo Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 ah, so it's a1.4 sport then that's been supercharged? in that case 15.8 ain't hanging around - maybe a scliffo said it hadn't been set up properly? i wonder who did the conversion - it looks well done, expensive???

Snoopy Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 15.8 equates to around `135-140bhp` at a guess. Reasonable increase from 100bhp I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RESPECT!look out for the feature peeps.. 1.8T and 1600 supercharged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
