Can someone confirm whats the Mk3 Cupra front ARB diameter (20mm?), rear beam mounting bush size (72.5mm?) and if the Power Steering Rack Mount bracket is 18.5mm?

Some minor updates

Ive send the wheels for new paint job - Matt Graphite from Ultraleggeras
Like this

And i bought the Red Spring from Forge for the WG.


With the Blue spring the car holds 0.9-1bar with profec closed, with the Red i am hoping for 1.2+bar

Hello again, exhuast cam has been fitted.
Smooth idle and a stronger pull after 3500-4000, afr is 0.5 leaner but with same EGT. (strange)

I've made a custom heatshield for the turbo and crusing IAT has dropped 4°c. (Pics will follow).

Now the bad news, i just broke my right CV joint.
Pretty scary as at first i thought that was a transmition failure.

I am going to upgrade them to S3 or T4.

What cams are you running?

Sorry to hijack!
Phil, do you have a link to 1.8t cam data, as I am going to remove and measure my adr cams and need something to compare too.
Theres alot of mixed oppinions out there regarding N/A cams with some saying the the same as turbo cams and others claiming 1mm more lift with an increased duration.
