davidelliott294 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Did you just go balls out and tow it with you and your dad?Yes man, really illogical if an 18 year old can't legally tow a car imho so I just done it and it was fine . Can't wait to get the Pedal Box fixed on it now! It isn't completed snapped as it still goes into reverse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidelliott294 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Waiting until my Dad gets the welder back and weld bits on to the sheer bolts to remove them in order to fix the blue lupo's pedal box so I can get on the road cheap. Insurance will be less than £100! Major difference to £300.On another note the coilovers are wound right down and surprisingly not seized. However the helpers springs are still in so they will be coming out soon. Gave both cars a wee wash today and my god what a difference. Quite a few wee rusty bits on the blue Lupo that I should look into getting fixed. Can't wait to be low again but seriously... **** 1litres.just no comparison :/ gti is far nicerlooking cleanBead!In progress Edited January 3, 2013 by davidelliott294 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidelliott294 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Put your bathursts on the 1.0 I will be dude but there is one small problem.. I'm gonna have to take a trip to upullit (£4 an alloy 4x4=16£ - bargain ) to get 14" alloys cheap of a Polo or something as the steelies on the 1litre i'm sure are 13", i've not looked but i'm getting a feeling that they are 13" wheels and they won't go over the GTi brakes !

Manifold then the cat, so no silencer or backbox. MEGA loud. Was funny lol. Got a video of it screaming it's tits off for the lolz.Getting it fixed tomorrow! And excuse the road rage, someone decided to pull out and do 20 in a 60 :@ http://s1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg576/davidelliott294/Lupo/?action=view¤t=VID_20130123_203431.mp4 Edited January 24, 2013 by davidelliott294 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadelauren Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Lucky bugger getting your mitts on 2 Lupos best of both worlds. Looking very nice, love the blue but all were 1L's and I needed a 1.7 lol. Looking forwards to seeing the blue machine at a few meets and shows, keep up the good work!

Koop Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 You should be able to get the wheels off the coilies with a bit of camber adjustment - unbolt strut, pull hub towards you at the top, bolt back up, sorted. Failing that a couple of spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidelliott294 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 What an angry day i've had today. Made plans to take the helpers out my coilovers on the 1litre today. Went to my mate Neil's and we got the car on axel stands. Coilovers came off piss easy. Proceeded to remove the helpers, piss easy as well. Put the coilovers back on and dropped it down and I had a fair bit of tuck.. Looked ****ing sick. Started the car and tried to move it. Uh oh... It struggled. Rings & the springs are rubbing off the bathursts (ET 43 afaik). So the plan was to then raise the car, jacked it up and the rings wouldn't move. Seized. lovely person. So, I then took a flaky and decided the helpers were going back in. So the coilover came back out and managed to put a helper back in. The problem came when we tried to remove the second coilover. Bolt & nut decided to round on us, think they might have been put on a bit too tightly :|. So, one tyre was slightly rubbing off the springs and rings and the other side with no helper was mega rubbing. I then had to go fetch my steelies which i got with the car and put them back on. Looks pretty good on the steelies to be honest. Got a picture of the slant but it isn't very apparent in this picture, it is quite a bit lower on the side with no helper though SURPRISINGLY. After all this was done I took a wee trip to the petrol station on Bo'ness Road, Grangemouth, to pump up the tyres. Upon entry I was represented with a massive scud. Front bumper scraped, shat it. Felt like a crazy mutha****a afterwards but 8-) My drive is a proper mess and was pure shitting it thinking I wouldn't get the car up but I managed, just. Was scraping pretty badly. To finish it all off, I think it has an oil leak at the gear engagement bit underneath the car. HAPPY DAYS :|Lucky bugger getting your mitts on 2 Lupos best of both worlds.
