When i say 'it got death' the boy who owned it very rarely left second or third gear and just thrashed it about. And as for people who think I was being disrespectful thats definately not the case! Knowing a bit about the car obviously and knowing that it does look good I hope the new owner does take the time to get it tidy again. Its this car's white and black theme that inspired me to buy my cupra

Never seen a whits mk4 cupra before, looks great :thumbup:

Nothing wrong with that boost level mate.

What are your plans for it?

Have a look through my readers ride thread (link in sig bellow), everything you will ever need to know about a mk4 Cupra in one thread :)

Will have a look at your thread on my lunch break at college mate. I'am planning on giving the full car a machine polish to get the orange peel off the paint work. Buying a forge dump valve this week as its got a standard blow off valve. Fk coilovers to make it sit nice and then a bigger front mount intercooler. Will update on pics obv :D

Not the best tbh. But under the bonnet and places you would think there would be red there isn't. Need to get it booked in to get the Orange peel flaten out.

really ? :( My dreams are shattered lol

But the standard Seat Sport (Cupra) cooler is proven at over 320bhp so there's nothing wrong with it...

I used to see 30 odd degrees C intake temps in the middle of summer and that was running circa 240bhp....

Very good cooler :)

I think this car looks mint. Id love a white Cupra (wish theyd made them!) good luck with it mate, theyre great cars, I recently bought one myself. Also, theres a lot of knowledgeable people on here, so you wont go far wrong. Good luck and enjoy.

Cheers guys. Would appreciate the help on here, to be honest I know feck all about cars tbh. But you have to learn and start somewhere I guess. And I had no idea about the intercooler. Bought a turbo timer from my mates mk3 cupra, straight fit?

Was in the garage getting the following things fixed.
Rear anti roll bar
Bushes
2 wishbones
turbo housing
exhaust fixed
engine mount fixed.

All that fixed it runs so much better and sounds 100 times better. Round about 240 - 250 bhp i reckon. Gear linkage snapped the day I got it back from the garage and now I get it back on monday :(. Bad times. Will get a video uploaded soon
