Yes I know but for now no one has made a 6th gear version for my car.
And since overall our speeds are fairly low in the US it won't bother me and with the planned torque, 235 Ft-Lbs (319Nm), this should present NO problem

Rear 3,333
Crowheel is also driller full of holes to lighten it up and few other modifications to the gearbox.

I will be using a 5th gear of 0.622 and the R&P is (60/19) 3.16
Is your transmission code DSK on the '00 Lupo?
ETKA indicates for the DSK transmission:
1st: 38/11 = 3.4545
2nd: 43/22 = 1.9545
3rd: 39/33 = 1.1818
4th: 39/48 = 0.8125
5th: 34/53 = 0.6415
R&P: 60/18 = 3.3333
SO yep
that matches ETKA info!
When you say "crowheel" what are you referring to? Crown wheel? Whatever it is have you had it balanced AFTER drilling holes in it? or is it drilled at factory? Sometimes balancing is more important than weight loss.
I learned a lot about the Lupo 3L from these:
