    Hey everyone

    I'm currently building a 1.8t Lupo and posts on this forum have been helping me along so thought I'd join!

    I picked up a dirt cheap Lupo a while a go and it's been good to knock about in and that. The only problem is, it's a 1.0 and the severe lack of speed is quite frustrating. I've not had anything particularly quick on 4 wheels but have had a motorcycle since I was 17 and it's pretty nippy if I so say so myself.

    I found a mk4 GTI on eBay one evening. It was cheap, has some problems, but it was cheap. It's a 150bhp AUM with a 5spd box and full leather interior. Most of which has been sold off by now.

    The engine is now bolted up in the Lupo engine bay but I've got all the other plumbing and wiring jobs to sort now!

    And thats the start of my 1.8t Lupo...

    Lupo’s are awesome little cars. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
