Dblock Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 IMO if you can get some good brake pads and an induction kit thats you good. The IK won't increase performance but it tricks you into thinking your going fast lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electronic dump valve too?*Warrrrrrrrmpsssssshhh*Also, on a serious note, if you are going to try and increase performance, make sure your insurance company accepts such mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lhotte@HIC Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 A modded 1.0 will more expensive to insure than a standard 1.4 sport.I wouldn't bet on that! A standard Lupo sdi cost me more to insure than a modded Corrado KR, and a modified Lupo sdi cost less than my rado! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can fool yourself into thinking your going fast your not going to lose your licence. Those eBay exhaust whistlet things too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhotte@HIC Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 So what you're saying is that if I fool myself into thinking I'm fast, then I'm fast.So...If I fool myself into thinking that I'm low, I won't lose the underside of my car like my corrado??

RX8 cost less than my lupo.Modified cars are expensive to insure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually make dump valve noises when I change gear and screechy noises when going around roundabouts. Put your seat lower done. Take out your seat even better.

How many lupos are driven by chavs and are seen in a field upside down? If you was going to steal a car would you nick a ls400 waft mobile? Most people probably wouldn't.
