[carlisle pete]

sorry to hear that hooch.. it happens to all the wrong ppl.

[cupra_matt]

Hooch, iam so so sorry to here about your dad, dont really know what to say mate. My thoughts are with you and your family.

 

[PhilW]

Dear god, i'm so sorry to hear that, thoughts to you and your family.

right....info on mapping and other work.

my new back box has been fitted, it replaces the 2.5" pipe work from the rear end of the tunnel and replaces it with 3" and also replaces my miltek backbox with a 3" internal diameter box but ive had my miltek tail pipe welded on to keep it looking the same

mapping began today.

message from mapper

Very quick update (photos will follow when I finish your car) as I am really pushed for time, in simple terms your car is an absolute animal and has way way way more power than you could possibly want/need.

At present I am pegging the boost down to 25psi as it at least gives you a little bit of an opportunity to drive her rather than just hanging on for dear life. So far we have spent the last 2 days sorting out the mapping and today should see the final results.



Kind regards

Nice one mate. Sounds good. Traction gonna be a big issue but at least it will be fun!

 

[__B3NNY__]

And thats coming from sombody that sees this kind of thing day in day out!

Good work bud, bet you cant wait now.

 

[The MoffMeister]

[beattie17]

You got a 1/4mile planned for sunday then?

 

[h17och]

moff...wouldnt be the first time mate lol

beattie- na....not yet.

a message also got back to me from quattronics via another company.

im friends with jnl racing who are local to me. quattronics know that they know me and asked if i had actually done all the work myself as i was claiming because the standard of the build was very high.
which made me very happy

shame its getting mapped down
25psi tho...still should be fun

HoocH

 

[The MoffMeister]

im half tempted to get internals done now and maybe see if i can get next step up on your turbo but suppose room would be some issue

well done though sounds spot on fella

 

[h17och]

i wouldnt waste ya money...i know i wouldnt with heinz site

 

[The MoffMeister]

haha true well may just get internals done now and go from there i suppose

 

[h17och]

i wouldnt even waste ya money on that.

im already thinking of buying a new car to throw a 1.8t in and just a map...those were the fun days

BT aint all its craked up to be

 

[ibizacupra]

*fcuk me*

you said what????

BT aint...........

 

[Damoegan]

BT aint all its craked up to be

Untill he gets it back and has the first drive after the mapping is done

 

[ibizacupra]

'smokin................. and thats the tyres being shredded on the drive home

sounds like a monstor

have fun

 

[DPJ]

TOTB still on for you then, Hooch?

Do you need pit crew?

 

[h17och]

its a debatable question i know bill. BUT its a huge finacial strain even when i was on gt28.
im just trying to make people realise before its too late for them.

BT is great in manya ways but not so great in many more.

i just keep thinking of my old man and thinking that this car could easily do the same to me. maybe im just a lil low rite now. had a bad nite at the gym also.

DPJ, hope so. lets just hope they are still good to let me run and my gearbox makes it untill then

 

[MichaelMr]

Hooch,
Very sorry to hear about your Dad. My thoughts are with you and you family.

Pleased to hear the cars nearly finished. I'm not surprised in anyway to hear that the turbo is a complete monster. The inlet/outlet pipe was wider than my arm if i remember correctly. Complete Beast!
As far as just buying another cupra and doing a quick map etc....well, thats how it all starts isnt it!?

Shout out for the removal of the worlds most stubborn track rod end ever!? Don't usually have to blowtorch, cut and drill them off at night in the rain do you?

Thanks for all your help that night mate (Sorry the thanks is late). Appreciated.

Best,
Michael
