Cupra or FR TDI

[mikey-typer]

I changed from an EP3 CTR with 265BHP to an FN2 CTR then I got the Leon FR550 had it mapped and its nearly 215bhp 335lb/ft torque. Must admit the buzz I got from the CTR's was great with the rev limit on my modded ep3 at 9,000. However, the performance of my seat now its re-mapped is comparable to the CTR (FN2).

I had a play with a golf GTi and pulled away from him all the way up to 70mph, had a cars length at that speed. The CTR is a lovely car best seats ive ever seen in a hat hatch and the interior is much better than the leon. Im saving a shed load of money now though and with a similar performance. Would like to remove the DPF next and get her re-mapped again just to see what I could get.

Have you seen the new CTR in championship white? Its got an LSD as standard so should be much better on the twisties.

I drove the FN2 civic back to back with the MK2 Leon Cupra and my Mk Ibiza Cupra TDI. No contest in power and delivery the Cupras all day long.

Shame loved the styling and interior on the FN2.

Nice to hear a Cupra owner bigging up the FR TDI, just because its toally different doesnt make it a bad car. Ive said a few times i would LOVE a Cupra, but I just cant justify the cost of running it day in day out....
