today

hay folks, just got my cupra remapped today and wow, it is superb... went to STAR and put my car on the rollers standard and got 262bhp and 252 torque, then got the GIAC remap installed and it is not 309bhp and 312torque, i cannot beleive how smooth the pull is from 2500 all the way up to...

Or not... Basically, it wouldn't start. I rang Green Flag who diagnosed the problem as being the starter motor which had pulled off its mount. Apparently various things were in places they shouldn't have been and he couldn't rectify the problem there and then. Only when we moved the car...

was there today, good fun. Most of the good places for watching, weren't good places for photographs due to wiremesh and stuff... whcih lead to photos looking like this: Thus most of my photos were taken around a couple of corners... Rest of the photos here...

So much for big turbo solving my MAF problems. :cry: Number 10 must have done less than 1500 miles and I wasn't caning it at the time. ;)

Had to be ordered from the factory, so it should be built on week 40/41 and hopefully I'll have the car a week or so after that depending on how quick pedro is at delivering it (dealers exact words). So only over a month and a half to go... :doh: Guess I can fill the time by working and...

Hi Wondering if anyone can help. My company have just changed phones from a normal one to a Blackberry. It's taking some getting used to but it seems pretty good so far. Trouble is, as part of the deal we are all getting new car kits fitted. But unlike nearly everyone else at my firm...

Here's a few photos of various SEATS (SCC and BTCC) that I took today. Great to have a camera that can take good motion shots at last. :) The polesitter Darren Turner http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u56/iainw1981/Knockhill%202007/Knockhill2007044.jpg...

Last week I put my car on a RR with a local garage and this is the graph I got. Its a old dyno and the graph didn't show torque or revs, or bhp for that matter, only power in kw and speed, obviously I wasn't too pleased with the graph I got so today I went to engine advantages in Witham...

HI All Just wanted to say i picked my new Leon cupra (black) up today. :lol::lol: Very very happy with it, Have already got it up to 125mph:whistle: thanks to another Leon FR TDI on its way to Bath ;-) hi if your on here. Great fun and a really nice drive, It has the bluetooth kit, this...

I had my car on a rolling road today, and i'm a bit confused with the results and how to understand the graph. The rolling road isn't a up to date one and it doesn't measure torque. On the graph all it has is KM/H and KW and i'd like to know how the RPM and BHP was worked out from these...

:( Not a good day in the world of me today... awake with a hang over to my mini beast not wanting to start. Its turning over but not firing, i reckon its the ignition coil, just got to wait for my girlfriend to get here so i can see for deffinite... First problem ive had tho in 9 months :D...

Well due to finding the house of our dreams it had to go! costing me far too much than it should of been:( insurance wise was £85 a month i was putting £40 worth of petrol in a week! (will not miss that one bit!) plus the repayment of £180..... thats £425 alone not including tax, tyres etc` Bit...

Ok, so I'm c**p with cars..... picked up my Ibiza today, just an 's' model, 1200cc, 52 plate. I didn't test drive it more than about 50mph - when I was driving it at 60/70 on the way home there was kind of a washing machine noise! Is this normal... any advice would be appreciated. :D

My LCR's low pad warning light came on last Friday and they are very low - to the point of not being happy about using the car for any distance! I have used the search and it seems that the Ferrodo 2500's are the ones to go for but I have been told I can get Textar pads for the Brembo's for...

Well i finally got round to having my car remapped today, i decided to go and see pete at Bell Autos in York. I got down there this morning at about 9:30am. After meeting pete and having a chat and a cup of tea, he got started on my car. He connected vag-com and checked all codes then tried to...

Had my car remapped this morning and WOW :D Done by Celtic Tuning who came to our home to do it, very good service. The thing that has impressed me the most is the smoothness of the power delivery after the remap. 80% of the extra power from the remap is available now with the remaining...

Ok, i had to clean it so i only drove it from the power wash to the indoor area, but i still got to drive it;)
