  2. disc + pad upgrades

    I'm gonna upgrade my brakes on my Cupra (not LCR) and was after advice please. I'm torn between EBC discs and Black Diamond any ideas? I've also read loads of people commenting on how good Ferodo DS2500 pads are so thought about going with them, but wondered if I'd be better sticking with...

  3. Has anyone ever measured the improvement from brake upgrades ?

    Just wondered if anyone had actually measured the improvements given by various braking upgrades. While I've done a couple of 312mm conversions myself and can feel an obvious difference, I wondered if anyone has ever done any testing on stopping distance improvements etc ??

  6. New FR 150 owner - what upgrades ?

    Hello, I've just bought a 2005 Leon Fr Tdi 150 and wondered what are the common tweaks owners make to them, suspension, brakes, motor, interior etc. I had a 2002 Golf Tdi 130 which was a bit soft so I changed the springs and ran a Tuningbox on it which was great. I am planning on using...

    Brake Upgrades

    Any know what's required to upgrade a 2002 Toledo TDI (ASV) 110? I though I could upgrade the calliper carriers and go for 312mm dsks but it looks like the standard carriers are part of the hub so this looks to prclude this. Anyone any other suggestions? I've already had ATE Power disks...

  10. Preformance upgrades on a 1.9 tdi

    Im just wondering what speed preformance upgrades, and in what order would you advice doing to a 1.9tdi? or is there any point doing it to a tdi, and just save the money to do it on a 2.0? Also what sort of comprimise to the MPG would it make?

  11. FR TDI Pad upgrades?

    I had a look around for my favoured mintex 1144s and 1155s but couldn't seem to find any. To be honest I couldn't find any pad upgrade for the Mk4 Ibiza FR. Has anyone else had anymore luck?:confused:

  16. Rear Light upgrades

    Because my car is light blue i reckon the red tail lights look crap, was thinking to go down the route of getting clear units from the newer models but i dont know if they are the exact same size, or how much steelers charge for them. Any Ideas? Any companies make decent units for RHD cars?

    Upgrades necessary with a remapped car?

    I like many on here have a remapped LCR. What should be uprated at the same time to ensure nothing detrimental occurs to the turbo etc? For example I understand that the OEM intake air hose can collapse on a chipped car and this should be replaced by a reinforced silicon intake hose.

  19. Mk4 Bulb upgrades

    I have searched through a few topics on this and think i've found the answer, but before i commit to buy these i just wanted to check. Am i right in thinking that the mk4 takes H7 bulbs? Is that the same for both the dipped beam and full beam or is the full beam different? I read somewhere...

  20. Do Seat do sport suspension upgrades?

    As above really....i don't want to get an after market kit as i don't want to void the warrentee etc, so do Seat do their own sport suspension kit? I've just had a quick look on their site and they do a kit for the ibiza from >02, but nothing is listed on suspension for the >06 models.
