I have met the new owner of this car (sold now from Venom) yes.
Dan(ish) on here built the thing so knows a lot more about it than I do.
Not sure the engine spec listed is current as it has had replacement engine.
amazingly runs on 13" wheels and 239mm disks!!!! :wtf:

Standard 150 1.8t engine with IHI. Very fast car with no brakes.I thought Ian had orded some 15" wheels for bigger brakes?
Janet and Ian are the current keepers.......didn't realise they were selling it though so soon, mmmmmmm 300bhp nice
Guys,... what does 160 in a Lupo feel like ???? :blink: :D

small wheels.. and 239mm disks tho.. I mean... jeez.. how scarey must that be. Jan's (mrsB) runs 280's these days on 15" lightweight wheels and R888 tyres, and needs all this to grip.
I think Jans is fast enough on K03s on 220bhp/250lbft so IHI power like my ibiza would make for close to unusable power vs traction. CV's munch on jans lupo as it is.
whole lotta lupo tho... monstor spec.
Going to have an spare IHI setup shortly tho off ibiza so... Hmmmm you never know. Wonder if she would notice :whistle:
I cant remember 100% but im sure the last time he had the car mapped by somewhere in Rochdale i think he said it pulled 338bhp... says somewhere on clublupo im not sure where though :whistle:
My brakes on my lupo arent too great with running approx 135bhp so i dont even wanna think what this would be like to stop.Still a flippin nice car though and a lot of work has gone into it [B)]

If that was black (or at least not snot green) without the hideous embroidered seats and stuff I'd quite fancy it myself.
