Firstly what a lovely example of a cupra tdi you have.
Secondly did the new pipe make any difference? Seen these on Awesomegti as well as the hard pipe kit and was wondering what improvements these make.
I wouldn't really know if then forge pipe made a diffrance due to the old pipe was split and had been for quite some time so when it was fitted it did but that most Likly would be due to gaining my boost pressure back lol.
The hard pipe kit u talked about is a very good thing to buy removes all the stupid rubbish connectors that have a habit of leaking plus gives higher flow perfect for tuning and u won't need to keep fixin boost leaks
Thanks for the comment about my car am trying to get time to do some more work to it but just havnt had time to do owt but give me a month or so and am sure there will be some more inprovments made to my little Cupra tdi

Looking smart! Yellows a tough colour to maintain always gotta keep it clean!
I fancy doing what youve done with the 80mm silicone hose to the air filter. Just need to find out if its the same size on the 1.8t petrol engine!
Also your just down the road! (Sort of lol)

Cheers it's a very hard color to keep clean so where abouts are u down the road from hull lol.
I think the 1.8 t maff sensor is a diffrent size but I could be worng
ok well its been a while since i have updated so hear it goes.
i throught id give my self some time to update this due to my car passing mot
ok well its started by my mate giving me some forge boost hoses he orderd for his pd140 leon. and he found out they where not for his car but by then it was too late to return them so they came my way.
i knew id find a use for them becaaue they have come with uprated alloy cuplas and there larger plus better pipes so id make then fit lol....
[/IMG]
well i have only managed to find use for one of them so far so i cut it down to size and replaced my hose from egr valve to alloy pipe. looks better i think plus its bigger.
i know ill find a use for the others once i get my front bumper off..
[/IMG]
ok well after a few weeks of constant work and motor way driving i decided i really need to get some wheel spacers the wheels looked too lost in the arches so i got my self some 20mm hubcentric alloy spacers and bolts.

pics before fitted.

i wanted to try and do something a little diffrent to my cars insides but wanted it oem looking and smart so i had a little think and came up with lets do something with lighting due to i work night shift so i mainly drive in the dark.
i decided ambiant lighting was the way forward so got my self these LEDS
[/IMG]
and decided i wanted to light up the pocket under the cd player and behind the glove box handle to get some light onto the passager side due to looked to dark over there.
next i had to decide where to wire them up so i guessed using the cd player feeds would be best bet so i got to work.
[/IMG]
[/IMG]
once i wired them up i put them into place and bulit back up my car. they have turned out better than i throught the pic dont due them justice to be honest they look amazing when sat in the car
[/IMG]
as i said earlyer i needed new rear disc brakes so i throught id fix the binding hand brake plus upgraded the rear discs. i orderd some brembo maxi discs and pads and some hand brake helper springs for the calipers plus treat it too a new pollen filter while i was spending
[/IMG]
once fitted
[/IMG]
and the springs now fitted makes the hand brake feel so much better such a good cheep easy up grade took like two mins for both sides.
[/IMG]
now with it all built back up..
[/IMG]
next on the cards i was thinking of doing something a little diffrent again i look in the rear wheels and the rear brakes look lost so i have an idea todo what the honda civic has done with the back plates on the new type Rs so am going to get some type r back plates cut mine down so there not viewable and weld the honda once to mine then mount.. just need to do some resurch and find out if they will fit etc..
i hope to update again soon all comments welcome

What am I doing wrong? Well, anyway, just wanted to say hello! Hope you are having a good day!

Like the car, like the color, like the mods!
Think my next one will be something yellow again!
Not too many people install an open air cone filter because they are afraid of losing power due to the original filter being sheltered from heat and being connected to the intake in the bumper better. Not sure how much difference it really makes actually...
What's the Brembo part number for the discs and pads? Do you feel any difference when handbraking of braking overall?

The open cone is the best thing I have done love the sound it makes I love the flutter also plus it defo ain't lost any power due to it plus the intake temps have not changed at all but I did make the cold feed bigger than the standerd pd160 intake.
Thanks for the comments still alot of work to be done tobehonet ill try and find the part numbers for the discs. The hand brake feels alot better with the helper springs what I have fitted plus the discs have made no diffrance really but I ain't able to give a real test due to my front ones need replacing badly along with pads plus wants some new brake fluid changeing but once I have got around to that I can pass comment.

After a long drive I noticed my mpg reading on my dash was being quite accrute when driving at a steady pace seemed to read quite true but then I noticed it also reads rubbish at time.
But I now remember why I love the Cupra tdi it's because of its range it has goes from wow won't need to fill up the tank for years to omg am going to run out of fuel hahhaha well hears pics any way
Good old Cupra tdi doing as it should good mpg
[/URL][/IMG]
And omg my tdi changed to a v8 petrol drinker hahahahaha
