Good choice of cars! Welcome to the club 😀

Seen this car at Cadwell on the track, looks like a well sorted car


Luego.2.0 - 10/10/15 at 09:10 PM

Me friend who I got it from has taken it there a few times.
I've had a few mx5 for track days and a couple of trackdays in a sr2 roadrunner again mx5 based so I'm really looking forward to trying this out.
My friend says it is very good on track, a bit solid for road use but that's probably me being a wimp .rockingham has has track day next weekend I belive, weather permitting I might book a taster session

My friend and his dad built this in there garage in Leeds , I remember nipping round on my husaberg supermoto and seeing it part built.
They were very meticulous and it was a very well built car.
Everything was new and it cost a fair bit to build. They will
Prob have build pics of it.
Nice car and have fun

That's cool. I was just looking through all the paperwork etc and saw it was built in leeds. It has been built very well like you say. Need to higher the seating a bit drivers side I can't see the passenger wheel when sat in it.
If you see your friends dad and he has any pics that would be great.

Welcome, nice to see another Luego on here . Regards the bit above it might pay to check your suspension crush tubes as they may be the cause , check using the search facility on here for extra info

Thanks mate I have a look. Think it's more down to my friend being 6ft 5 and me more like 5ft10. He moved the seat right back and down low. Seats are grp very hard and thin. I might swap them for a bit more comfort on the road. Look like there are a few around this area be great to meet up sometime

Welcome and good to see another Viento in use. Hopefully you will be able to get along to Stoneleigh and add to the Luego club area.

Congratulations and, as said previously, welcome to the club. Ownership of a Luego automatically makes you a member of our club. Also, I am glad to see that there is now another (replacement) yellow Luego Viento in the East Northants Area (I left the area recently and moved to Worcestershire).

Yet again, welcome to a great forum and group of enthusiasts. Your new purcahse has for some reason given me new momentum to continuing with my build, just got to finish the drive gates, conservatory roof, new front door and strengthen the lounge ceiling so the bath does come crashing through the old floor joists and i will back on with it. Looks like you are quite close, so look forward to being to go for a drive when mine eventually hits the tarmac

Enjoy, Pojo

So, why don't you go with the Paddington bear film and have the bath come down the stairs, or is that a bit "passe" now it's been done on film.????

Thanks for the warm welcome all. Be more than happy to go out for a spin sometime. Finished work early today and as the sun was out I thought it would be rude not to go for a quick spin.
