The golfs grip was amazing, cornering speed and grip was like nothing I have ever driven. Launching it without any wheel spin or drama, no traction lights flickering. Would need stage 1 to compete on the straights tho :)

Car feels a lot more solid than the Leon and Ibiza we have :)

The FRS was the one the wife wanted, but seat position isn't nice. Drive is great in third gear but the 1st and second felt slow (they are torque restricted or something). Interior was crap, torque steer was crap - it was standard 300bhp. Steering didn't feel too positive. Makes some nice noises whilst going which is nice but overall not the car we wanted it to be.

For the record the Leon is staying put as my car, the mk5 Ibiza cupra is going :)


These are my opinions, so don't take them as gospel. Go Mae your own decisions.

Manual or dsg?

Pre ordered the FL front splitter for my car ( about frickin' time )
Bought a set of headlights from a scrapped FL cupra to try and retrofit the projectors ( to use with hids )
A new front grill
A new carbonio induction kit
New spark plugs

Now I have to find time to sort it all out, along with a service .

Oh and I'm going looking at a VW golf gt tdi tomorrow :D

Busy busy busy

I'm looking for a sports cat downpipe in exchange for my de-cat downpipe as well

Travelled to liverpool with all my belongings! A car full of stuff, weighed a tonne. Definitely felt slower in my 1.2tsi!

Welcome to every day of the week for me :D

It's amazing how much grip the car lacks when it's full :D

£250, I robbed the guy blind to be fair. He said 400 for them at first, but i blagged they were only 500 brand new from the dealers :lol:
It's going to be a long term project though, I dont have the time to do them atm

Well when you do get round to doing it do some step by step photos to help others if you can. I know there are a few guides about but other guides are always helpful.

I've just purchased a set of rear lights...got some plans for Audi style DRL's for them! ;)
