My Lupo Sport

[tallika_fan]

Not to be misleading though should state that i'm from the UK and haven't imported one overseas.

It's a 2000 Lupo Sport, 1400cc 100bhp

I like :D I've seen a few lupo's floating around melbourne.

is that a carpc i spot?

What other mods have you made to the car?

i seriously love that thing, its hot! its like a little toy

[gpk_gti]

very very nice!!! always loved the lupo:cool:(got the lupo mirrors on my mk4)! love your blacked out bonnet mod!!


do you have any other plans for it???:D

Hehe, it's definitely a toy!!

Very much fun to drive due to it's small size, albeit 960kgs due to safety measures and the like.

Performance wise, very nippy, with the original gearbox acceleration was quicker, though that one failed so i replaced it with a longer throw gearbox from a lesser model. Now it has a higher top end, just need more poke to get there! She'll do 110mph in 4th though, 5th will only push to 125mph @ 5000 rpm, there isn't enough torque for any more.

The carpc you spot is in actual fact an 8track player from the 70's!, something different. Plus the false floor it sits on acts as a cubby hole as these little cars don't get a glove box!

So far the list of mods are not a great deal, wheels, coilovers, front upper strut brace, poly wishbone bushes, aftermarket airfilter, 4branch stainless steel exhaust manifold and decat pipe.

Interior wise, aftermarket stereo, boot install, removal of back seats and fitment of 8track player. I think thats about it.

Would like to fit the cockpit light from a mk5, though these are stupid money!

At some point in the future i'll be fitting a supercharger too. Should boost the output to about 180-190bhp

Cheers Guys
