Car is back to life. I took my silver 3L gearbox and put it in the red beast. Reason is that the second target of this summer is to faster than Golf GTI VI. This summer standing mile drag race is 6.7.2013 at Joensuu airport and that is where I need show is my lupo goes faster than 220+ hp cars.

Öljypiste SpeedParty 2013 ilmoittautuneet

Target cars to beat with 120 hp and 250 nm on that list are:
Skoda Octavia RS TDI 170 hp and 350 Nm
Honda accord 2.2 i-DTEC 150 hp 350 nm
Audi A4 avant 1.8T quattro 163 hp 225 Nm
Seat Ibiza 1.8T Cupra 180 hp 245 Nm
VW Polo GTI 1.4 180 hp 250 Nm
Skoda Octavia vRS 2.0TFSI 200 hp and 280 Nm
Audi 2.7 S4 B5 Avant 250 hp

On wish list

Renault Megane RS which is 264 hp 360 Nm stock
Subaru impreza WRX STI 280 hp 373 Nm
BMW 335i Cabrio 306 hp and 400 Nm

Target end speed is 208 km/h which was end speed of that Golf GTI VI. During this week I will try to make sure that the car goes 60-120 acceleration under 6 seconds which means after that car should be faster than that GTI.

That gearbox swap is only temporary as I was not able to get 02 type gearbox 228mm flywheel balanced on time.
