Rash keep me updated on the intercooler pipework please as ill be changing it due to how crap it is in places.... mainly where it comes out the top outlet section on the fmic.
im selling the golf as itsnot fast enough and even with the charger on there it wont be quick enough! yeah yeah it may look nicer but im scared to park it anywhere as it gets LOADSof attention but unfortunatly it gets the WRONG JELOUS attention and that worries me.
so had a long hard think and decided it would be finacially better for me to mod the cupra further and make that LOOK nicer rather than make the golf GO nicer the fuel in the ibiza is 3 times better and its 3 times faster just everything pointed to the ibiza to keep via looks so that must esplain my decision!
driving the ibiza back from jbs a couple of weeks ago running FULL POWER AGAIN
was truely AMAZING! so im 
in love again!
@dancupra im simply getting all custom race silicone hose parts and fabricating it myself so il have to makeit up as i go all i know is that im going to have to modify the metal boost pipe at back of engine and rest of it is make it up as i go ive taken all the pipe work off and measured ect and got prices for all the bits i guess i need and some extra to make sure i dont run out came to around £340 so we'l see how it goes? il be doing it in the next coupleof weeks with before and after pics.
anyone with a cupra if they relised what the intercooler pipe work was like they would replace that first as its SHOCKING! its not only the front pipe that is small its the PLASTIC pipework underneith (pipe next to coke can above ^^)
@evo2345 the rad is only £75 including vat delivered so its not too bad! but to changeit you will need to take the complete front end off or you could try releasing the front pannel with bumper off and tilting the whole lot forward then undo the bolts holding it in and replace it that way would save you removing intercooler ect
gotta buy two new headlights AGAIN as they have misted up and got dirty AGAIN! thats my second set at £180 a pair gonna modd these new ones like mad tho so it doesnt happen again!
THE CUPRA RETURNS WITH AVENGIONS!

Rash - when I got my radiator changed (last day of warenty) the computer thing that tells you how long a job should take said 1.5 hours but as you said, the whole front end needs to come off, intercooler etc. Ended up taking 6 hours

Aye, he prob will. lol I dont know how it took the mechanic that long to do mine?
@damoegan i recon from start to finish i could have it done in about 1.5 hours if everything went to plan and had propper machine to pump coolant into rad ect ect but maybe the tech that done your had problems??

Why selling it for less than you got?
Surely you'd be able to punt it and make a slight profit?
