I've got to agree, I fitted my cobra res system a few weeks ago, and the quality is excellent, Im an engineer by trade so see alot of metalwork and fabrication, the welds are top notch! As for the sound, its suits me down to the ground just a nice grumble on tick over and similar when driving normally. When giving it some its got a nice sporty tone. I noticed today that when releasing the throttle its got a nice little burble to it now its "coked" up.

Hope this helps others in a similar boat.

The EML would come on. Mine seems to come on when ive been sat in traffic a while.
Gonna get the 2nd lambda mapped out at stg2 though
It has never cut out though.

i had a go at fitting my downpipe and decat but gave up with not having much room to work with as i started to undo the nuts but they got really tight towards the end so im gonna give it another go soon with some wd40 as i didnt want to snap anything.
also picked up my coilovers so im gonna have a go at fitting them too.
so a busy day achieving not much at all lol.

I got my car back today after the engine mounts broke after the daft company didnt change the bolts after replacing the timing belt which cost them 1,000 for new gasket and the rest :D

Fitted my ebay bargain Forge 007, those std DV retaining clips, what a nightmare to get off!!

Took car for a spirited run and seems to run the same other than MPG has gone up?!? My last Cupra was great on fuel & this one poor in comparison, but after forge fitted mpg is as good as last one, happy days!

Dodgy std DV poor mpg?
