tommiee92 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Dankje colodude18! Nice to see that i'm not the only Dutchie around here. I like the 'little bombs on wheels' for the surprising effect on the big guys. Had a Audi S8 last time, he was pretty impressed from the acceleration of my little GTI! He had to stay behind me untill 80 kilometres an hour, stopped the next stoplight next to me and gave his respect and asked what kind of engine i've put in this little one.. Besides manifold tune-up it's bone stock! The short ratio gearbox ( 3500 rpm's @ 120 km/h ) helps a lot with accelerating. When i'm back i will make a video of the acceleration and post it here Have fun in Holland with your family Groetjes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommiee92 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 2 weeks ago i gave my hood a layer of Carpro Cquartz. Amazing stuff, nice sheeting and good scratch ressistance. The looks were good but after a week ( when i was allowed to wash the hood again, the most painfull week in my life ) i putted a coat of Americana over the hood and: BANGGG there was the real blingadabling again! Adam's, thanks for giving my car the best stuff only. I love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommiee92 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thanks, i'm glad you like it. In common i get rather positive reactions, but some don't like it tough.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksell87 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah I'm definitely digging the welded hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommiee92 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Haven't been here for a while, but i'm back now and maybe i can give you guys a bit of a cold, dutch feeling with a few pics of my Lupo in the current weather! It's about 22F here during the day and 15/16F during the night.. Also got myself a new set of wheels for the summer tyre's. 17'' BBS from a Mini cooper S ( did let them get customized, hub hole was a little too small so got it professionally resized. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G8chick Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I like how it kinda has a evil menacing look to it sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colodude18 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yeah heard from the fam that it's cold in the home country... well cold for Dutch standards at least lol and lots of snow! I do believe Holland has had more snowfall so far than we have here in Denver in 2013!! Crazy.... Nice pics in the snow! Great wheels, although I like the stock ones a lot too. What kinda power is that thing putting out? I know it's probably lightweight as hell... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07RS4 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nice car....I would do anything to live in Holland when I retire...I heard you guys have nice wome....beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommiee92 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 I think we do have nice women, but the beer, nahh i'm not a beer guy so can't help you out with that.. This little car weights 910 kilograms and puts out 162 hp right now. It's a 1.6 16v twincam engine without turbo. 6 speed transmission, Xenon with high pressure washers, limited slip diff. ESP, aircon, 6 airbags, alarm system and heated seats.. Runs about 235 km/h and 0-100 ( 0-62 in mph ) in under 7 sec.. Pretty happy with the car i must say! And Adams makes me soo much more happy to see the car shining in my eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommiee92 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Got myself some new stuff, Adam's car wash shampoo 16oz Adam's detail spray 16 oz ( both the best on the market for me ) Adam's Merino wool washmitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runs about 235 km/h and 0-100 ( 0-62 in mph ) in under 7 sec.. Sounds like a nice package! 910kg is only about 2,000lbs, no wonder! Have you ever driven it at a track? I bet it would be tons of fun. I used to race at Zandvoort in my younger years. It's a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommiee92 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yes i have driven it at the track once.. but it was only after a month since i got the car. Bet it would be much more fun now, better tyres, better suspention, better brakes. And ofcourse the most important, i know much better what the exact drivability is of the car after 3 years.. I guess that now i can push it more to the limit in comparison with the beginning.. I will upload an acceleration sound movie within a short time!

tommiee92 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Here some more photo's of the car. Last week sunday there was a big VAG midwinter meeting organised by Team VW-Speed, so spend the whole evening before the meeting to 'adamize' the car. Rolling shot, driving in the snow I know it needs a little bit extra lowering.. During the dB test of my Gladen SQX 12 sub in ported enclosure, driven by a Orion 8002 Result Great meeting, with a LOT of diehards there. Like 500 cars have shown up, during the cold weather and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommiee92 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 So it's like 1,5 year later and i still love using the Adams products. They're not so popular around here. not so many people know about it ( i would like to keep it that way, my car always shines the best haha! ) and it's difficult to get them, except @ only 1 webshop or so. I have some pics that I like to share with you guys. Tell me what you think! and also my ex-california 450SL '74 mc2hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
