I can't decide but blue is the one :p

I reckon dark blue or the same green as your old mk1 golf. Would be a nice little tribute lol

I think Baby blue aswell Saf it would pimp hard in a pastelle

Hella cool car.

Its all about the baby blue me thinks!

Wow, awesome car.

Anothe vote for baby blue from me.

hmmm baby blue is toooooooo common tho, does look good. if i went baby blue it would have to be with the gulf livery and berg cup arches hahaha

Saf if it has Megasquirt just get some ITB's sorted for it, going to sound as good as carbs and you'll get more go + better economy....and less chance of the whole lot exploding in a ball of flames it seems.

Baby Blue is played out foo' go for a crazy shade of green!

reet fella, yeh ITBS are probably the way forward for these engines as carbs are probably a step backwards. Theres ALOT of power gains to be had from them.

I've managed to pick up an M-Tech Automotive Megasquirt V3 Ecu brand new for 175 quid, This comes with the following:

Megasquit V3 Ecu (With new case)

Wiring loom

Data cable

Software

The ECU is built to this Spec:

V3 ECU

4x COP Ignition drivers

GM Sensors

VR Crank Pickup

This is ideal for a Throttle bodies transplant for 8 Valve or 16 Valve non Turbo.

It can run any 4 Cylinder by wasted spark/ or any 4 cylinder COP engine such as GTi6 if it uses a trigger wheel (either 36-1 for 60-2) so pretty much any VW, Ford, Vauxhall, Pug, Citroen etc etc

I know the lupo has a 60-2 wheel so thats all good, will just need to go lop off all the connectors from a crash damaged loop or polo gti.

also managed to get some schroth harnesses with pre-tensioners for 82 squiddlers that shall be finding there way into the car, would take pics but cant be arsed. they are similar in colour for the first blue which makes me sex wee everytime.

I can't decide but blue is the one :p

the gal knows it

I reckon dark blue or the same green as your old mk1 golf. Would be a nice little tribute lol

yeh the green of the muppet was awesome and was so lairy in the dark. i did see a green audi 50 with colour coded bumpers and it looked so gam it was unreal so i was like errrr no!

I think Baby blue aswell Saf it would pimp hard in a pastelle

itll pimp hard anyway and its gonna be a flat colour whatever happens. like i said baby blue if i go with berg cup arches and some gulf livelry

cars getting delivered before this weekend, gotta get some beers in for the driver of the trailer as a fankoo.

word

think you guna have it ready for ed38

I can't decide but blue is the one :p

the gal knows it

Course I do just don't go baby blue

Yeh Saf go for the Gulf look that would suit a mk1 so much

Somthing a bit diffrent and special too

Or Polizia

Green:

think you guna have it ready for ed38

possibly, when is edition? end of august? depends on whether i have enough time/cash to complete it. if i did have it ready for edition i probably wouldnt bother getting it painted for then, just put back together, wired up and running for an mot, then i can strip it again at a later paint and paint it

I can't decide but blue is the one :p

the gal knows it

Course I do just don't go baby blue

wait until you see the golf I'm about to post, youll probably change your mind

hahaha polizia is a fai but this was my inspiration for the gulf colours

Green: [image]

is that deezuus old un, lido green is nice but not vivid enough for me for a green.

i dont actually really like the colour green its one of my least favourite, but i warmed to the muppets colour

Edited 25 July, 200818 yr by grungeisdead

Meh I'm loving the golf but baby blue all over would be too much, hmm i dunno nah I'm not with baby blue yet!

baby blue is my favourite colour for a mk1, if i got a florida or miami blue one that was original paint id make sure it stayed that way.

but I've always loved dark blues from my ford days, the escort cosworth imperial blue is a gorgeous colour. plus it looks great with white wheels. i wonder if the colour of the dark blue mk1 olop is jazz blue.

anyway got nufty other things i need before i worry about la paint, first up is getting zee beasty grr

Get the engine out, and send it my way.

Get the engine out, and send it my way.

get 500 quid out and send it my way

w00p

i need a ss exhaust from any polo 1-3 drop me a pm if anyone knows of one going cheap.

the wishbones/lupo suspension/brakes may be up for sale aswell, as I'm considering using a mk1 golf steering rack and mk1 coilies with teh adjustable top mounts

does that inc gearbox, wireing etc??

engine/box/shifter, everything bar loom, ecu, clocks and keys

Tits, I'm gonna have to have a think, it was the loom etc i was most interested in. I will get back to you mate, gonna have to do a little research.

juat making my own loom with teh megasquirt, if you get a loom youll need an oem ecu and an immobilser defeat unless your running custom engine management. ill need to get hold of a loom to lob off all the connectors for the sensors

word

Well, I'm gonna have to find out if the lupo is compatible with my Polo fusebox.

eurofusebox

you really are a vw pervert! great project man.

hahahahahahahahahahaha :lol:

good news, my mates offered me a free space in his unit which is 20 mins from my house so it shall have a nice roof over its head ( and my neighbours wont get annoyed with another dub stranded on my drive )

'Yes it is staying here'

Good stuff, saw this for sale a while back and wondered who would pick it up. Wondered why you had pop up on polo3 too.

You cant beat the sound of twin carbs either

I've been on polo3 since it started but i was just to lazy to check it out again, i got accosted and told to get my ass back on there!

indeed the sounds of twin carbs is immense but i think when i go down that route it will be bike carbs or itbs, but i think for ill be running the standard injection for quite some time
