I was waiting for the photos to be put up on here
Does look shiny shiny

Yeah i knew you would be, just waiting for Barn to notice.:D


Yum! :D

Nice to see bits and pieces coming together Phil :)

Ah, its been long enough coming but i am really pleased, i have all the bits now so its just down to planning the swap, i have a few other things i want to do at the same time, new outer cv joints and wheel bearings and i have a LCR master brake cylinder and ABS unit to put on, i found that the brake pipes coming from the master to the ABS unit where twice the size of the Cupra's, this has to be for a good reason, i then managed to get all the bits from a 36K LCR so thought i would swap them over, the LCR ABS unit should help with my over sensitive ESP which i have found is coded to wheel size and brake disc size and ever since i put on Bill's 330mm discs the ESP comes on when ever i think about going around a corner, the LCR unit has a code unique to the LCR and i know that an LCR with the same wheel size and discs doesn't have the same problems.

Ah, no well maybe, i saw a really useful thread on Vortex about swapping clocks and apparently you can swap immo3 clocks on to immo2 cars and as long as you have the stalk and run a wire from the back of the clocks to the stalk the comp will work, but i need to get my vag tacho working first (need a copy of windows XP) so i can get my SKC code, and find which connector to run the wire from and too, i know there is a spare connector on the stalk so there should be a spare on the back of the clocks?? watch this space...
