Tigz 6N2 GTI

Trying to learn how to do night time shots, so excuse the quality.

Standard-ish and should be almost staying like that.

Awaiting sending my ECU to someone who will be adding a chip, and will be going for a full exhaust system to go with my manifold, but not until I get sick of the slightly blowing back box and Emma is convinced.

Other than the system thats made its way out of the Lupo into the Polo, it will be staying as it is.

Obviously suspension will be looked at, but possibly only H&R Cup Sport kit, if the car fails MOT on leaking shockers.

Obviously, its pointless spending more on 256mm disc's, than it would for 280mm disc's, so as my brakes are getting down, I'm on the look out for G60 callipers.

Added a set of Lupo GTI pedals, and an Aeriel off dale.

Not forgetting the Recaro baby seat, the car is pretty much as I want it

Lupo pedals and one of Dale's Enfig aerials. Both must-have mods IMHO

Without a doubt, got both on the Lupo, and had them on the Polo within a week!

She loves it, we've been all over the North of England of the past couple of weekends with her.
Wish I could fit in it!

Great Pics Tigz, those Canon DSLR's really do produce wonderful photo's when you know what you are doing. Your zoo pics are also very good.

Your plans for the car sound good, very similar to mine. Are you thinking of the H&R comfort (-35) or sport kit (-60/40)? As I mentioned on Club Lupo, I think this could be the kit for mine.

Just wait until your kid(s) are a bit older, they will be kicking the back of the seats with their muddy shoes - something for you to look forward too !

No plans for TB on this one then? An award for bravery for what you have done to the Lup so far.

I assume all was sorted the tensioners? sorry that VW were not interested, but then again that is no surprise !

Keep up the good work,

Marc.

Hey guys thanks for the comments, much appreiated, my camera skills are pretty poor, I'm just learning

Marc, I'm still undescided on suspetion.
Commen sense tells me to go with the comfort kit, but then I know just how sweet it would look -60mm all round.
I used to have Eibach springs on the Lupo before I went for coilovers and was really impressed with them, TBH the car handled better than it did on coilovers.
Still thinking of thoses...

I did think about the TBs, but it would meen the Lupo would just be a 1.4 75hp standard engine which would drive me round the bend.
TBH I fancy a charger on the Polo

Didn't get any cash from VW with my cam belt.
All because it was 3 months older than 5 years

I've just bought a OMP front strut brace, so looking forward to getting that fitted.
Other than that, that should be it really until things wear out.
