    As an update, I have now done a lot of reading up on Up!s .... LOL

    There has been a number of TSI upgrades in the UK, and apparently not that hard to do. Will absolutely happen to this 1

    I have now ordered H&R sport suspension from VWCentral .... and ... an AMR300 supercharger which is suitable for 0.6 to 1.2l engines and will only provide lowish boost. Might buy an AMR500 (for a bit more boost) too later if it looks like there is space.

    I have decided on the wheels already too, just need to get it roadworthied next week 1st before I start in earnest.

    At the moment, its still hidden in my shed so SWMBO doesn't see it before its properly on the road.

    She wanted a new Jimny, instead she got an Up!, so I'll probably be staying with the Up! in the shed for a while ....

    EDIT: I did order a new Jimny though, but its only due next June, so I have 7 months to play with this in the meantime ....

    Not project related, so I'm posting here.

    Did drive the Up! to work most of last week (could not be bothered to take the R out the garage with holiday visitor's cars in the way) and boy is it light on fuel !!!!

    Did my normal commute @ 4.9l/100km. 40km roundtrip each day with all suburbs and inner city. Also took no longer than any of the other cars
    To put that in perspective compared to the others I drive (same trip, same duration):

    Up! 4.9l/100km
    MK7.5 110TSI (OK 150TSI now) 6.4l/100km
    MK7.5 R 9.8l/100km
    Amarok TSI (with 200+kw) 11.5l/100km
    Mustang GT 18.1l/100km

    I'm so glad someone is going to mod an Up! I've always liked these little things so i'll be watching for sure.
