Just got myself a mk cupra stage 2+ plus (will post the spec)

Its a big jump for my fr 2.0tfsi and must save love it.

I want to go more power but firstly want to sort a few other things like isnthere anyway to help with the spinning anything i sink the foot 1st 2dn 3rd 4th sometimes 5th its jusy spins like mad.

I dont want to waste money makinh it faster just to get more spinning.


Any suggestions would be great. Also any other suggestions of mods etc.

Thanks i advanced guys.

Tyres?

 

[Jamie]

I thought tyres but spoken to somone on another site said those are good tyres wouldnt makena difference

A few things:
1. Whoever said tyres won't help is an idiot. Plain and simple. Increase traction = less wheelspin - it's that simple. NS-2Rs are a semi-slick designed for the track. In cold damp conditions they will be awful, They also need some heat in them to grip properly. Keep them as a summer tyre and get a decent set of boots suitable for current weather conditions. Winters are overkill, but I would whole heartedly recommend the Michelin PS4.
2. What suspension modifications do you have? Just coilovers? Decent suspension, uprated mounts (especially the rear), anti-lift kit and proper geometry setup will help too
3. Whose map? Aggressive torque delivery with little control will always cause a loss of traction. Learning that the accelerator is not an on/off switch and to feed in the power as you gain momentum will help massively instead of just planting your foot. Anybody can intentionally invoke wheelspin by mashing the pedal, learn to feed the power in
4. If you are referring more to corner wheelspin than straight line, then an LSD will help massively too (if you actually have one - do you have any proof? Do you suffer with inside wheel spin out of corners?)

Tyres Tyres Tyres and a proper alignment to check everything.

If you are spinning up through the gears, there is one thing that clearly isn't able to maintain traction with the road surface...

All together now...... T.....

Cheers for the replys guys.


Defo going to change the tyres i did think that must have been somone taking the piss.

All im aware is its on Coilovers not sure what else. Going to buy the snti lift kit this week see how that goes. Any suggestion on the best ones?

The map i dont have a clue im sure the guy said revo but after being on the dyno im thinking of gettinh a new map maybe java ?

Its more the wheel spin in a straight line if you control ypur foot its not to bad but i do think could be better.

The corners seem little spin but nothing worrying im in scotland and its pissinh down so roads arent the best. Inhave proof of the lsd and does seem like has it.

Really what i want to do is see if can get it spinning a bit less before going for more power.

Thanks for your patience with me not the best with these things but love leons and what her sitting spot on.

might have something to do with having a tyre thats meant for a 7.5" rim fitted to a 9" rim.along with poor tyre choice for the current conditions and treating the gas pedal as a on off switch

what camber are the coilovers running ? I'm sensing stretch tyres and negative camber. Please tell me I'm wrong

 

[lajohnz]

You want the correct tyres for a 9" rim (245 I think), don't waist money on more mods, pay to have it lasers aligned and setup for the road.see how it feels after that.

Have you got any receipts or evidence it's had an LSD fitted along with all your other mods?
