Unbelievably Fast K1!!!

[jon-tfsi]

Blade took me out for a spin in his K1 today and i was shocked at how fast it is.
Ridiculous amounts of midrange torque, loads of top end power, lots of wheelspin and strangely loads of grip at the same time.
It feels every bit as fast as the recent dyno suggests and so civilised as well.
The dbillas intake and resonated exhaust system keep everything sounding grown up........Haha its like a stealth flippin missile.
The Cupra engine has soooo much potential from just a handfull of bolt-ons and some quality mapping.
Cheers for the spin Blade

Blade has a very unique map, glad you enjoyed, mine's not as fast but I'm behind you at the lights!!

What map is blade running?

giac customized specifically for his car iirc. 360 odd hp which is very impressive.

I know its not top of the list of concerns going by the BHP output..............but whats the MPG like? Is it still not too bad?

When we got in the car it was in standard mode so i guess he just uses the extra power when he feels like it.
I would find that power totally addictive so for me the consumption would be shocking!!!!

It's pulling more than that, believe me. It's mental and just accelerates so freely - hardly time to change through the gears.

Owenlcr has been runnning with GIAC and stage 2+ hardware on his white Cupra for a good 6 months now, and yes it is quick.

Has he had it on a dyno?. Would be nice to see if its similar

Afternnon Phil. Not heard or seen Gary for ages - have been told he,s still running around in his Beeza though. Sent you a pm

Yes, but I cant remember the numbers.

To be honest though, I would discount them anyway as you cant compare 2 cars on 2 different rolling roads on 2 different days.

Blade,

You should get yourself to Santa Pod this Sunday for Spring fest and see how fast it really is

Sounds good

Bit pointless mate. He cant get much grip in the first 4 gears at full throttle.

Sounds like fun.. Time for diff / suspension / tyres then..

I would also be interested to see the 1/4 mile time for it.

Given that your car made that time and ET through 888's lightweight wheels, the car being stripped of quite a bit of weight, and because it has the DSG box which shaves 0.4 seconds off the 1/4 mile, I would estimate Blades car to run 13.5-13.7 @ 110mph.

Edit:
Ben CTR manages 13.2 in his Stage 2 Edition 30 DSG, and a stage 2 Revo Leon Cupra (manual box) managed 13.6 last year.

Im gutted, I wont be able to do any sprint runs on sunday, cars runing **** at the moment, still trying to work out whats up.

And his lsd plus trick suspension setup!
