Testing and tweaking continues to reach GTI VI figures
1/4 mile = 143 km/h ( GTI=151 km/h)
1000meters = 180 km/h in 30 s (GTI =27,3s, GTI 0-200 km/h in 32s)
60-120 km/h takes still under 7 seconds, is actually slower than in last video but back pressure is under control. Tuning will continue... (GTI = under 6s)

What this means I need only about 10% more power to have faster car than the golf GTI. At the moment there should be 95-100 hp so 110 should be enough to beat GTI.

I did also some fuel consumption testing and current setup gives 2.3 l/100km @ 100 km/h average speed easily if cars own meter is still accurate. So there is clear improvement to last september.

Short conclusion both this summers targets for Lupo 2L should be easy to reach when all planned mods are finished. So now its time to execute.

First attempt to reach 2 liters will happen on propably on Tuesday when weather should be plus 21 celsius. Before that I will need new mirror covers ready.
