options

Hello, and welcome to another of James' "My S3 is broken" threads My turbo has started to make a very faint/subtle ticking noise so im not expecting it to last that long. What are my options? A replacement K04 isnt one! I would love to go BT but im affraid its jusnt not possible at the...

Hi there, I'm going to be getting some new wheels for my ibiza soon and thought about lowering it at the same time, what would be the cheapest way to lower it? I know cheap usually means bad, but I'm always on a budget :D Thanks Will

(put this in the ibiza section but realised its probably better suited here) I had a search but couldnt really find an answer, is there any other turbos that fit the JS manifold, i'm currently running an IHI VF34 but the engine is getting rebuilt with uprated internals and it seems a shame to...

Im still using the standard 2l 16v gearbox on my 1.8T conversion. Im using the 2l 16 clutch and flywheel aswell, but if just paid for a k04 setup which should take me to around 270 bhp which im guessing the stock clutch wont hold. do i upgrade to the VR6 clutch and G60 flywheel or just bang...

I'm planning on upgrading the front brakes on my TDI Sport. I've provisionally bought a pair of MkV Golf GTI calipers & carriers, all I need is a pair of discs. I've had a quick search around the 'net & a bit confused.:confused: I like the look of Tarox G88 discs.......but not for £238!!:) I...

My 06 TDI Sport will be three years old in June. I will probably keep it another 2-3 years but the 40,000 mile service indicator has just come on and I have a decision to make with regard to who carries this out. I appear to have three options: 1) Take it to the dealers (quoted £248!) 2)...

Hi i am new to this forum & would be grateful of some advice. My 2001 ibiza cupra radio has just started coming on of its own accord & will not turn off. I believe this can happen & it was a real pain in the backside as i returned to my car today & had to call the AA out as i had a flat battery...

rite so been thinkin, if i were to sell the car (which im not at the moment) lol would i be better selling it as it stands now, like a cupra, or putting back to standard? which way would i make most money, selling cupra bumpers, alloys etc.... with base model OR selling "Cupra 1.2" lol and...

I've seen the cup-spoiler thing which is the only one i know of, but its expensive i dont want an old shape cupra R splitter rubber thing .. so what others are there??

Hi, looking to upgrade my brakes soon. Did a search and popular budget choice seems to be badger 5's brembo discs and ferrodo ds2500 pads and better fluid. Can anyone tell me how much of a difference they make over standard discs and pads? Another option is to save up from the brembo...

i have a 03 210 lcr and am needing new pads ,the car only get used about town and the odd blast at the weekend so im looking for options:D

Hi all Pick up my Cupra tomorrow and need to look at getting a car phone kit for it (Mk1 Cupra). Was having a look at if there were any self install options, preferably one that won't look messy with wires everywhere. Saw the THB Bury Take and Talk which is listed as self install. It...

I am after a bit of noise from my LCR, but don't want to spend much money - if I were to cut the rear silencer box out and replace with a straight through section (hopefully making them interchangeable) would it sound rough and obscenely loud; or would it be a cheap alternative to a cat back...

Hi, I am hoping to start upgrading my suspension in the New Year and would like advice please from the good people of SeatCupra.net. I have done plenty of reading before anyone points me at the search tool :) The most helpful thread is the one Ruddmeister wrote and have seen his comments in...

Recently a crow took fancy to my standard SEAT badge on my front grill, unfortunately for the bird I was doing 120 at the time. Needless to say the bird came off worse, however said bird was successful in his kamikaze attempt to de-badge my altea. This leaves me with a gaping hole on the front...

Hey, I have a nice colour coded car, with a bumper without a cut off. I don't want a new bumper, and I don't want to cut into the bumper as it never ends up looking right! However, a new exhaust would be nice. Something a bit better. I don't want to be heard for 5 miles away :ban: but I'd...

My gearbox seems to be broken internally....so I'm in a dilemma: Option 1 pay a garage to strip it down and replace whatever is broken. Option 2 buy a recon gearbox and do a straight exchange. Option 3 get my gearbox taken off and sent somewhere to be reconned. Also whilst the box is off...

Want to lower it aprox 20mm and make it just that little stiffer so it dont sit down everytime I press the go pedal. Ive always thought coilovers is the only way, BUT understand theres spring kits. Have no knowlege of these... Im not making a track car. Just need it that much lower and 1 click...

Hello all, we've just purchased our first lcr can anyone tell me what other vag seats fit without too much hassle, Golf mk4, Audi S3? Ta Lee.

My car needs a new backbox. The Mk3 Cupra one I have on is really on its last legs. It is just the backbox I need, but I doubt Im going to find another Mk3 Cupra one. So what do people suggest?? Going to try and get it asap while I still have unlimited overtime at work. Thanks, Craig.
