Expensive year ahead

as lee says, the cable used to locate on the pin to the left (in the pic) of where it is now. I drew a line between the pin and the pivot point; then drilled a hole 40% of the distance along this line from the original location to reduce the shifter throw by 40%. I then threaded this hole, inserted the bolt, then a nut the other side, cable on and then another locking nut

Interesting thanks.

Might have to try and get hold of a replacement so I can do it without taking mine off the car first.

Guessing a new OEM part would be too expensive?

Are all 6 speed ones the same?

You have to take yours of anyway the metal is really easy to drill, then replace.

Yea I know, but I couldn't do it in a lunchtime

For me, there's the following definites...

1. Finish off white LED interior lighting project (rear passenger, vanity mirror lights, glove box needs replacement). Rear passenger lights are going to be an ar53!

2. Steam clean interior and bring some of the dash plastics back to a nice deep black

3. Complete headlamp bulb upgrades (dip beam done, just high beam and side lamps). Also doing number plate lights and reverse.

4. Front bumper and bonnet prep and respray - they look as if they've been through a war!


And then the maybe items...

5. Upgrade clutch

6. Custom remap

7. Sort out N/S front door bass related vibration and EQ front speakers to handle more slightly lower bass frequencies.

8. Pull-down widescreen TFT from the roof, complete with one off iPod control mod for video (testing to be completed soon)

9. New shocks and bushes if they start to get bad.

10. Front brake upgrade

... and the Cupra badge...

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

ye tha too

did you sort yours out after or stick with what you had

 

[AntneeUK]

Still waiting on Seat getting the right ones to Sere. Dave says that the other day he was still getting the wrong ones... I've not got the paintwork sorted yet so no new badges going on yet anyway, but I'd like to have the right one in my hands so I can let you have the other

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

ohh ye forgot about that one

ye am waiting to get mine tidey clean and other priorities sorted before worrying about the badge

for some reason my fuel flap solenoid stoped working (see other thread if needs be ) so have to sort that , as we got another temp wire there for now

plus desperate to get other bits done now like the gauges etc

Sadly my mod for this year is likely to be sell it and get a diesel.

Just can't be doing with spending £70-100 on fuel every week
