Cupra Milltek and coilovers - questions

[kriso]

Ad lav your one looks good. As long as it sticks out that much then I would be ok with it..Looks like JKM did a good job It's free fitting for mine if I take it there. If I could do the coilovers myself then I would just get them as fitting seems to cost as much as the things themself!

 

[rashcupra]

i could fit em for ya kriso

heres my exhaust sits level with the bumper and when hot it petrudes out about an inch

isnt your exhaust melting the bumper ric??? also all you need to do to straighten your exhaust up is undo the last section and twist it and then re-tighten it

OVALS RULE

I so want one you people are so anoying!!!
I will have to make sure I go somewhere decent to to get it fitted when the day comes by the sounds of things especially if I end up getting cupra bumpers by then.

They all look lovely. What kinda price are you looking at for a turbo back system? Anyone got sound clips apart from the 1 already been posted?

I might take you up on that rash I've loked at muddyboots' guide and rear ones looks easy, just the front ones a bit fiddly.

Clone: I have been quoted £280 or £50 more with fitting.

 

[rashcupra]

they are very exspensive without fitting exspect to pay around £550!


edit kriso you wont get the TURBO back for that cheap the sports cat alone costs around 250!

 

[kriso]

Oh yea I meant that price for the cat-back Double it for turbo back

 

[Clone]

is the double price going to be worth it for the turbo back, rather than just the cat back?

 

[kriso]

I suppose it depends on if you want a nice performance increase or just (maybe) a small increase and tasty exhaust note. Personally I mainly want the sound and can't really justify the extra £300 right now.

I went for a country burn today and was wishing I had better handling so I'm edging towards the coilovers right now...

 

[rashcupra]

i had the whole system fitted so cant say if the cat/downpipe is worth the buy ect but when i fitted the sports cat before my current setup! it allowed the turbo to spool up alot quicker and sounded much more throaty if that makes sense. defenatly a GREAT BUY as i would imagine MUCH better performance and will also give an even better sound! just so god damn exspensive! think i bought the downpipe cat section for around £280 and i think i saw they had risen in price to around £320!!!!!!!

Yea a de-cat should improve performace but it's a bit of a hassle at Mot time to change it. Suppose it would only be once a year.

when hot it petrudes out about an inch

Seriously? Why?

I think the ovals only look good on the Cupra rear bumpers imo.

 

[kriso]

They expand when they get hot

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Never heard that one before!

 

[rashcupra]

yep as kriso said helps tho

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

helps tho

How'd you mean?

 

[rashcupra]

helps to make it look more normal instead of being flush with the lip on the bumper when cold and hot it sticks out a lil bit like its suppost to when hot

 

[kriso]

Well I've gone and booked myself in at JKM for a cat-back Getting it fitted this Friday.

any chance you can takes some piccies when its done please? I'm pretty sure i'll be going to JKM for it when i take the plunge! If mine were to end up looking like like rash's i wouldnt be disappointed, particularly if it sticks out a bit more when hot

 

[kriso]

Yep, I will be taking pics dont you worry I'm going for the twin-jet pipe tho instead of the Cupra style oval one for a few reasons. But mainly cos I think it will look different than most other Cupras.
