My Mk4 Cupra Now Sold

[Ric 2001]

Rash cupra had a quaife diff fitted to his mk4 and Ric_2001 has a pelequin diff (i think) but he has informed me of a major problem with the crown wheel now being 1mm shorter so hopefully quaife have recognised this and i can get this fitted no bother but only time will tell i suppose

It a wavetrac diff, a very different diff (mechanically) to peloquin and quaife, something about no-load performance.

All looks good, the diff was the best bit for me, pulls you round corners.

Just need a job so I can get back unto the car.

 

[Hartosh1]

Yeah have you been out of a job for a while now? I lost mine this year but was back within 2 weeks the joys of a temporary contract

 

[Hartosh1]

Also got a wee job for the weekend

Do us a favor buddy.

Can you measure the diameter of each side of the pipes and tell us your results?

Ie the stock pipes are wider towards the throttle body, then their diameter is reduced etc etc...

 

[shaney_87]

nice lookin bit o kit there !!

 

[Hartosh1]

Well fitted the new pipes today pretty straight forward but the car is now bumperless as it started raining

How the car has been left will finish it tomorrow though

 

[MrNorma]

good pics, think it will make a difference?

 

[seanaldo1987]

how does the car feel with the diff???

my clutch is well on the way out lol, and i'm saving for a sachs engineering clutch, jabbasport flywheel and i'm unsure of which diff to go for yet

gonna be the best part of a couple of grand i'll be spending

 

[Hartosh1]

Ive not got the diff on yet sean its getting fitted 10th august along with G60 flywheel and VR6 clutch for now.

Ive heard good reviews about wavetrac Willie who has the lightweight LCR has one and put a review up about it! Yeh mate its no cheap wish they put one on from factory would save me the hassle

 

[ScottHmk4]

whos doing the fitting work? could be a shout if you want colin to do it,

 

[Hartosh1]

Ive decided to go with a company i bought the diff off. After realising ive got the wrong diff well it needs maching to fit and Vince at Stealth Racing has done this before i decided hes the man to do it!

I thought about your bro scott but i think this is a job he couldnt have done in the drive as the whole gearbox needs to come out and final drive stripped down. Then realising it needs machined it would be too much hassle, so going down to Northampton 9-11 august to get it fitted gonna treat it as a wee holiday aswell

sounds like a good wee trip mate. yeh hes done a clutch in the runway before but best leaving the machining to the pros

 

[Scott-o]

Get the front end back together mate? Hoses make much difference, how much did they set you back, and from forge?

Im gonna come hi-jack you when you go back up to Scotland after the diff is on and wap it is mine haha

 

[Hartosh1]

haha no bother Scott good luck getting it out! Might come back up your way if you fancy putting a face to the name? Car is back together all hoses are on but ive not drove it much though so i dont know if they are worth the £150! Yeah i got them from Forge mate

 

[Scott-o]

Just looked at the dates and it first half of the week? Can see times when your going home and ill pop and meet you on the a1 or a19 if i can make it, work hours are daft at the mo! (not sure which road your off down?)

Just seen that hose kit on ebay whilst searching and saw they were 150 quid, got plenty of dosh splashing around at the mo it seems

 

[R1ch85]

What brand of gauges do you have bud? I've been looking to get an oil temperature gauge and I can't find an electrical oil temp gauge to match my boost gauge. Yours look good, any details?

 

[Hartosh1]

@ Scott its the 9th-11th but i can pop in on my way back up! Its no bother if your busy with work though. Yeah i have spent a fair bit in the past few weeks need to calm down a bit haha.

@Rich yeh this is the gauge i have mate http://prosportgauges.com/52mm-electric-oil-temperature-gauge.aspx im unsure if theres an option to get it in degrees as a few people have clocked mine at 180F and thought it was a bit high

Cool, thanks they look good, still a little different from my autogauge boost gauge though. Still, it's the best looking oil temp gauge I've seen. I'd have to change my boost gauge to one of those to match, but the reviews of the boost gauge say it's inaccurate

Don't really know what to do about them really. I could really do with an oil temp gauge with my setup.

I guess I could always save for Defi gauges but they're megabucks

 

[Damoegan]

I have the ProSport oil temp gauge in 'C

 

[Hartosh1]

I have the ProSport oil temp gauge in 'C

I was daft and got it in F

Cars booked in for G60 flywheel VR6 clutch and the diff being fitted on tuesday, heading into London for the day on tuesday aswell thought id treat myself to a wee break since ive not had a holiday yet! Will update it when the diff is on!
