Haven't had time to do anything to it yet except machine polish it - its now back in the garage I got it from to get some little usual things done under warranty:
- Erratic engine temperature gauge reading
- Engine Management Light
- Driver door didn't drop the half inch it should when you open it
Hopefully getting it back this afternoon
Its good condition for the age - immaculate interior and only a few tiny bodywork nicks which I've touch-up-sticked better already.
Initial impressions are that it doesn't feel quite as fast as I had hoped - probably needs a remap - but it may be partially limited by the EML being on. It handles ok for a car at such a high ride height. But after the 6 month warranty expires it is being lowered on coilovers - and then if that still doesn't suit me, then I will upgrade the ARB's too. My Lupo used to be so low it had the chassis sat on the ARB so it was always perfectly flat. Main aim is to make the TT as fantastically fun and drivable as the Lupo was - I may be fighting a losing battle - but I will give it a try!
Will eventually be looking for QS rep wheels then in the long run some BBS CH (9x18").
Here is my old Lupo, up for sale at the moment if anyone wants a fantastically cared for little runabout!
