Pat's Cupra R

[.Pat]

Well I finally made the move from the 'Low and Slow' VW scene, got fed up of dodging potholes so decided to get a car I can enjoy driving.

Previous cars were my 1.6 Bora which was on air and genuine BBS RS's

Next up was my Mk4 GTI 1.8t, again on air and TH-lines

Which leads me onto the Cupra R. Some may recognised it as the previous owner Bete_noir had a build thread.
Anyway got it back home and first thing was to get rid of the S3 seats and fit my r32's

Picked it up on Saturday, and loving it. So much fun to drive!

Glad to hear you're enjoying the car. Have you tested-out the handling properly yet? On your test drive I was itching to take over behind the wheel for a bit and open it up on some of those roads around Goodwood so you could see just how good the Bilsteins are

Loving the car so far Martin, I gave it a good thrash on the way back from Bognor however I don't think I'm anywhere near able to make full use of them!
It's a brilliant car though, and very well looked after. Many thanks again

Great specced motor that, looks like its had a fair whack spent on the right parts! Wheels are a little out of my taste, but other than that, mint

 

[Daniel M]

[ReDBull]

Nice car and good spec. What you got planned for it?

Thanks, they're nice to look at but they were a pain to own!

Not too much planned at the moment, I've got a Momo team to put in it. Then just tidy a few little bits up.

Looks really nice, loving the last pic, saw this in the for sale actually, didnt have the funds for a LCR at the time but would have been very tempted else! Looks like you've picked up a good one

 

[bulletproof]

That is lovely, realy like the wheels - suit well.

 

[J@mes W]

Very nice, lovely spec.

 

[.Pat]

Cheers guys

Not much has really been happening other than having to change all four coil packs and spark plugs due to a bad misfire. At least it's running spot on again

 

[drka-drka]

The bora and the golf look epic, right up my street.

Looking forward to seeing the LCR develope
