White FR to Black Cupra - Cupra Now Sold :(

Cheers. Yeh each to their own, wasnt expecting everyone to like them, its happened with every set of wheels i changed haha pretty overwhelmed how well these have gone down over-all though!

Cant wait to see Steves now, gonna be cool as

 

[vroomtshh]

It'd be a boring place if we all liked the same things

Went to visit a friend today and did a quick shoot after a blast out:

That looks seriously nice mate! As said it has completely changed the look of the car, and personally think this is a great improvement!

 

[Scott-o]

Thanks mate! Havnt heard from you in awhile, hopes yours is still spot on!

I love that pic, shows the fitment off great, mental how little it rubs aswell

 

[Scott-o]

Ordered some new genuine wheel bolt covers today and some more center caps for the wheels (They will be going gloss black) Also ordered a sai blanking plate from forge (bum feels abit sore) so hopefully can rip all the crap off the top off the engine and the secondary air pump thing. Just need to check with the bloke who mapped the car he can map the secondary air pump out of the ecu, cant be doing with intermittent faults!

 

[Scott-o]

Couple of bits arrived in the post today, pretty good as i didnt order them long ago

SAI Blanking plate:

Spare Center caps:

These will be going gloss black, chrome ones dont go with a thing on the car. Also got the genuine wheels nut covers still to arrive

 

[Hartosh1]

You get them caps off ebay mate?

Where you getting the wheel nut covers from bud?

I also got my blanking plate today but couldnt fit due to it raining again...... i may get 1 dry day this month

 

[Scott-o]

Yeh got the caps and the nut covers off ebay. Nut covers are only a tenner for genuine ones, was pretty happy with that!

Im waiting for john to get back to me about mapping the sai out so i wont get a light on, then ill pop over and get that done and get launch control whacked back on!

You got anywhere with the turbo yet, or weather holding you back?

 

[Hartosh1]

Im sure John will be able to map it out mate! Ill phone him shortly i reckon

Nowhere yet bud weather has been really bad recently and when i do get a nice day im with the bird so cant ditch her to go work on the car

Ive got the 2 solonoids waiting to replace the resistors i have then bolt them to the block like Rich has done

 

[Scott-o]

Hes got the sai mapped out though, even with them plugged in it still brings up a fault every now and again apparently. It was rich that has inspired me to do mine too haha think im gonna try hide them solonoids though

Lol, I've inspired someone!

Go for it, I'd like to make my cables and valves invisible too, I just don't know where to put them or what resistors to go for etc. Apart from that, the top of my engine and the bay in general look pretty tidy I think

 

[Whitechapel]

Looks awesome mate

I've heard some bad stories from resistoring haha so I'll just be doing what you did I reckon! Just need to make sure John can map it out as it'd do my head in if it kept randomly coming up as a fault!

Looks awesome mate

Cheers! It's getting there

 

[R1ch85]

Would be interesting to see if he can map out the other valves too. If he could, that would be great and you could remove the valves without worrying about resistors or CEL lights.

 

[Scott-o]

I thought one of the valves was for the sai? Then one for the boost control?

Tempted to take it all off tonight but cba with lights on the dash

 

[Hartosh1]

You cant take it off without resistoring it Scott or it will throw the car into limp mode i think! I melted one of my reisistors and it blew a fuse!

Im off round to the car just now to try get the turbo half off lol

 

[Scott-o]

So I can't strip anything out until John maps it out? don't want to go down the resistor route for the reason you said haha

 

[Hartosh1]

Ive just put that Forge blanking plate on what a farce theres is no way you can get to one of the allen key bolts without removing a water pipe from the side of the engine so i lost like half my coolant and ill need gasket seal now :|

On a plus the top half of the turbo is disconnected and tip is off


I dont think so mate as it will hit safe mode if you dont resistor it

 

[Scott-o]

Haha I saw that on a tutorial for it today. Think I might just do it like damo did, to avoid that. Glad to hear it's coming along mind, can't wait till yours comes together. Looks like I'm gonna have to buy all these resistors etc

 

[Hartosh1]

They aint dear mate couple of quid each! I had it like Damo but my blanking plate wasnt the best haha so got the forge one on

Where did you see the tutorial bud any links?
