Just treated the car to a cupraR spliiter. Been meaning to do so for months!
Oh, and 4 new shoes. 4 toyo proxie 4's for £215 from camskill
Phil, whats up with SWCC?

 

[PhilW]

Nice, thought you had a LCR before.

No idea whats up with the stupid forum, always brakes.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Nah, just browsing ebay and thought i'd do it. What you planning now Phil? BT?
I think im going to wait until i've moved into the new place and prob take the plunge sometime into the new year. Really liking the look of the New CTR in red with the factory 19's upgrade. Just not got the outright pace.

 

[rogers]

im not a fan of the new CTR at all to be onist, stick with the evo plan

 

[Daz_gibbo]

To be fair, neither was I at first. Going to test drive one in the new year i think.
Change my mind on the Evo idea everyday. Want to get away from that scene i think. I know i'll end up modding an Evo

 

[rogers]

the CTR is the same engine as the last model just heavier and therefore slower, i absolutley blow one, and its was one of bridgend honda's test drive cars was the sales man driving with customer in the car, when he asked wot engine it was i said 1800 he was gutted, lol

but if u want to get away from that scene i can see where your cumin from, its just alot of money for wot i think is a richer mans fieta st!!

 

[Daz_gibbo]

A honda salesman was racing you with a customer? lol. I could blow one now which is obvious. But that isn't the be all for me tbh. All ideas anyway, ya never know!

 

[rogers]

ye i know a good few boys that have had a dabble up and down the duals in bridgend. mate of mine raced a customer in one when he was test driving it

I have been having some problems over the last few weeks with my cupra starting. When i go to start it it just keeping trying to start ,but nothing happens and if you keep the ignition held it looks like the battery has gone flat, but then you leave it for a few seconds and try again and the car will start ?

Is this a possible immobilisor fault ?

 

[PhilW]

I'm sure Dave had a similar problem with his, something to do with the immobiliser on the steering column or something.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Or was it dodgy ignition switch?

 

[adevtr]

Whatever it is, its begining to P*&^ me right off! Dave as in the dude with the VW golf ??? Davidol ?

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Yeah thats the bruiser.

 

[davidol]

ignition switch for sure, get your hand up behind the column and give it a wiggle, imagine the key passes through the lock barrel and the end of the key catches in a white groved circle, thats the switch, should sort it for a month or two, replacement isnt expensive, fitting it is a complete and utter ******* so im told as the whole columns got to come out

 

[adevtr]

Thanks for the heads up dude, its weird if i chuck the power pack on the battery to start it up. it does everytime, thats what i cant get my head around.

 

[PhilW]

My vag come cable and software is up for sale if anyone wants to buy it, 15 quid.

 

[adevtr]

How come your getting rid of that phil ?

You selling your cupra?

 

[PhilW]

It wont work on my new laptop as its running Vista, so basically i'm gonna have to shell out for a proper cable and software. Gutted.
