My brother has an M140i and i have a Cupra 290 hatch. I coded the linear throttle and it makes such a difference. Without it, acceleration feels sluggish by comparison (you notice it a lot more after you add linear throttle), however, it does make the launch control feature pretty much useless.
Have you gone stage 1? This is by far the best improvement I've made to the car. The torque increase is immense. Acceleration is incredible when rolling, even my missus was impressed (slightly scared too) by the difference.
Did you fit the carbon R splitter you bought with the compensation from SEAT. I've not seen one on a red Cupra yet. I've ended up with the Maxton V4 as couldn't justify the cost of the Cupra R splitter. Finally got the R grills too now that every man and his dog has them haha.
I think I might on your recommendation. What was the cost, roughly?
I do have the splitter, but the guy I wanted to fit it has been making people deliver their cars two weeks prior to him starting work on it. His wife has cancer so he isn't taking any chances. So I haven't been able to get it fitted yet.
Also, I've only just been given the green light by the physio to start driving again this week. Its been from May to now without really being driven, did about 100 miles over that period.
I wondered where you'd gone. I was checking your build page the other day hoping to see your splitter but noticed you hadn't been active in a while. Glad to hear you can drive again. I was out of country from March until July so being making up for the lack of driving since I got back too.
I went JB4 for warranty reasons, the fact the JB4s hold their own against custom maps and the high praise they get. So £3-400 depending if you go new or 2nd hand. Can't fault it in the month I've had it fitted. Done around 1k miles with it and it's not coming off. Glad I took Zero's advice.
I did code the linear throttle from the carista app. It made a big difference thanks.
Oh - nice. I'm three weeks in and all I can say is "wow". Overtaking 3 cars at once has never been as fun ;-)Mine is at the dealer awaiting PDI and registration! I’ll pick it up on Friday
Delivery arranged for Friday 25th ! At last I’m going to be able to drive the car I ordered 9 months ago ? To be honest I didn’t think it would happen with all this crazy stuff going on , so well chuffed.
Yes I’ll just have to sit and admire it through the lounge window , although I could go for a drive to test my eyesight ?
Hi all! I just took delivery of my cupra last week! Perfect little rocket pocket!
Very nice ! ??
