They do need a refurb, but not at the top of the list, I'd love some coils and 2218's for it!

It was RR'd at 189bhp before the matched inlets were put on, but I don't think it is anywhere near that high as the only thing it could have are cams, but theres no reciepts in any of the paperwork for that and there are receipts for everything else so doubt it. It is nice, sounds amazing and...

Right, been a few of these threads from me, but this is a new situation! Been offered a decent price for the Lupo, I would have declined but just been offered my mates one for a very good price as he needs a quick sale... So, with selling the Lupo, and then buying the 172, extra insurance...

In my 1.2 16v I used to get about 380miles before the light would come on again. But I drove it like an old woman because I was skint!

Yeah it must be them two. It's actually a good replica bodywork wise, bar the exhaust, lowering, and wheels/offset. The other car would be the 172 but a bit of a 182 replica.

Was it with a silver 172 with 182 wheels and exhausts? Probably was my mates, the V6 is a replica though if im thinking of the right lads?

Shouldn't be much, at 19 with 2NCB a 1.6 was the same price as my 1.2. Norwich Union have always been good for me, just try every company you can think of.

^ my mate got his R1 carbed C20 XE in his Opel Kadett set up their, apparently the best their is.

Doesnt have xenons does it?

I know a lad who makes manifolds for bike carbs onto cars, easy job and not very expensive. Also according to a lad who has fitted carbs to 2 of his cars it's fairly easy with a bit of technical know how

That is stunning. I love XK's.

Maybe he didn't understand Vtec?!

I miss my Dynamique :( Looks good mate.

Sorry to hijack, but I have Weitecs on my Lupo and they are awesome. Never been in a car with H&R's admittadly but I doubt you will be anything but stunned by the ride and handling. I'm down about 70mm and I can go over draincovers and hardly feel anything, nice and stiff but very well damped.

'Well looked after'....lol

Apparently KW's are the same as Weitecs (which I have) and mine are amazing. Excellent quality, and the ride is nothign short of awesome for saying I have a very low and stiff car. Not much difference from the standard ride of the Lupo which I was very shocked with! Plus the KW's should be a...

Yeah you speak the truth mate, idea had been in my head about maybe a nice 197 middle of next year. I just saw a mint cup for sale and it got me thinking!

Yeah I know what you mean, I do try and cut out the short journeys as much as possible, but it gets to the point where I want to drive to justify to myself owning such a nice car and not some shitty bag of nails! I'm not really complaining about it, affording it isn;t an issue as I only use 3...

Well it is a waste of time really. I wrote the pros and cons from what i could think off the top of my head, one of them being the Lupo turns heads. I didnt buy the car for that reason but I like the fact people are interested by the car. Thanks for the replies, all points make sense. To be...

It's about whether to buy a 172.... I'm torn, the Lupo is awesome but I just feel I need a 172!

Why feel the need to post that s**t? This clearly isn't in general chat.

Heres the Lupo:

I really fancy a cup, but I'd rather get a bit of money out of the Lupo and put in the bank to be honest. Trust me the Lupo turns a lot of heads, a lot of people have no idea what a Lupo GTi is, and it surprises a lot of cars speed wise. Whats the details for it mate? You selling up?

I'm just worried about going from a well built awesome little car with lots of toys to something with none. Pros: Cheaper to run (Lupo only does 30mpg) Looks awesome Quicker Release some cash from the Lupo Newer than the Lupo Cons: Insurance is more Tax is more Won't turn as many heads...

As some of you know I have a Lupo GTi. Been through some different stages with it for the last few months, and recently I have really started to love it and was set on keeping it. BUT.... I keep seeing 172's around and looking on autotrader, I still really want one. I've found a nice low...

Personally, yes. Maybe some plain black ones same colour as the car, with black bolt caps?

Same here, I want to pay someone to do mine! Looks nice though, i like the colour.

Nice, what engine is in the RR? Love the CSL, definately a car i wish to own if I can ever afford it!

I've seen it in the flesh and it's pretty lary but at least it has been done 100%, and it is stupidly good quality. As said, at least he looks after it and doesn't smoke around in it acting like a chav. I think the biggest flaw on the car is the sunroof (obviously can't be helped) as it looks...

Lol, the welsh.... What a complete jeb!
