gargoil Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Can anyone advise me what the `0-100` of the Lupo GTI is as I can't seem to find it recorded anywhere?Can anyone also tell me where the cheapest place online is to buy Dunlop 5000s or 8000s as fitted to the car?Cheers!

bossjohnc Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Apparently 23.8 sec as tested by Autocar.Think you mean the Dunlop S2000? The 8000 is being superceded by this tyre apparently.Got a quote from local tyre garage of £118 a corner. Have heard you can get them for about £80 without too much trouble although I don't know where from as I haven't had to replace any of mine yet.So, whatcha got? GTI? Colour? Any toys??

Crusoe Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Welcome to the site, commendation too for a good choice of car. for tyres the best place seems to be http://www.mytyres.co.uk/Tyres.html though you can use that price to get your local fitter to come close.for `0-100` it depends if your in the 5 speed or 6 speed versions, I’ll have a dig and see if there are any official figures from the drag racers among us, VW ones are 2 up with half a tank of fuel.

gargoil Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Got a 6 speed 52 plate Raven Blue GTI. Had it for 3 months now. Had a test drive of a 5 speed before buying and didn't think it was as good. It's now got 25000 on the old clock as I've done 8000 miles already. I think the tyres I'm just sbout to get will be the 3rd set on the front. I'll have a look at my Tyres.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 That's a whole load of tyres!Hope mine don't wear down that quickly...Nice choice by the way - like the colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMon Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Well, I've got a 5 speed and I like it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Not driven a 6 though so can't comment on the differences.Mytyres is a good site, especially if you know a fitter. Not sure what the local tyre place would charge for fitting tyres you took in yourself. Probably wouldn't be that chuffed that you hadn't bought them there and charge you a premium.

gargoil Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Got them at MyTyres for 70 odd quid. Local place will fit for £7.Happy with that.Cheers for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Went to the site thinking "oh yeah, plus VAT, plus delivery"...It's all included, what a great site!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Not as if many of the tyre places would have lupo gti rubber in stock anyway so most of them seem happy enough if you supply them and they fit them for you, easy £`10-15` for 20min work. Can get them delivered to you local fitter as well to save you lowering the back seats to cart them around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medwaygti Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 my mate got a ford racing puma and the 0 -100 of that is supposed to about 21.2 in autocar and when we have races we are always side by side tbh.All the way to 120Also recorded on my stop watch at 21.sec but not a good way of doing it :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Think the 6 should be significantly quicker to 100 - what's yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medwaygti Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 ITS A 6 SPEED i WOULD SAY THE ITS THE `30-100` THAT COUNTS ANY ON PERFORMANCE CAR AND LUPO GTI 5 AND 6 IS UP THERE WITH ALL THE BEST HOT HATCHES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
