Riko's black cupra

[Riko]

Thought I'd put up a better pic where the light isn't directly on the bay...
getting used to the colour now tbh!

Hopefully this weekend I'll have it looking a glossy anthracite!

You realy need to get a Forge TIP mate.

 

[Riko]

I have an SFS one to go on, but was waiting for when I bung the turbo on. It is desperate for a bit of colour tho ay!

Good boy

 

[Riko]

The biggest bugger of it all is that I cant actually jack my car up high enough to get axel stands under and I'm reluctant to spend loads of money to get some1 else to fit it for me! I need to order some metal ramps me thinks...

 

[Damoegan]

Can you not get the standard jack under to lift it enough to get a trolly jack under?

 

[Riko]

I can get the trolley under using the method you said, but I guess it's my uneven drive where it cant hoist it up high enough!? I wouldn't entertain going under the car without suitable support.

Some tastey updates...! My strut brace was looking a but sorry for itself with paint flaking off and generally a bit dull. The sun wasa shinin and the the mood was high, so I gave it a bit of love and a little sticker for being a good boy! (hmm... don't take that the wrong way...!! lol)

Was thinking about going for a darker colour to match the rocker when I eventually respray that!

Mod updates...

Ok things are looking good for more power now... Just taken delivery of a THS 3" downpipe and de-cat from Danny Lad (thanks dude)!

Just to summerise...

I've had a SFS TIP for a while now but have been waiting to fit it along with the other parts as they'll be off anyway:

Also had the K03s sitting in the garage for a good couple of months from B3nny:

And as mentioned above, DownPipe a FULL 3"!! and de-cat. I'll give it a clean for good measure!:

I already have a laguna FMIC which will see the power I'll be putting out:

And a Milltek cat back. So i'll basically be running the same system as Danny was:

AWSOMENESS!! I know the mods aren't anything new, but I'm dying for a little more poke and maybe see what happens with a hybrid on my old K03 in the future??

Comments welcome!

nice like the way this is going your rimes are they 6x16 or 7x16 with 195/45-16 or 205/45-16

 

[Riko]

Thanks Tarzan! The OZ's are 16x7.5(i think?) running 195/45/16

As I need new tyres on the rear I've got the standard cupra rims on and they're terrible! Heavy, sluggish, feel like im in a truck in comparison!

 

[UncleFester]

If you get more power .... i'm not playing

 

[Riko]

Lol, haven't had a chance to play in the first place! What power you putting down atm uncle?
For the price I'm going to go for revo stg2 and let Backdraft play around with the settings. Should hopefully all be done before we all meet face to face!!
Anybody care to let me borrow a pit or ramps to do the work...?? lol

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

My old Dp..

Tis huge aint it lol...will work a treat on the k03s it did on mine...

 

[Riko]

I've never been so excited over a large, stiff pipe before!!

A very smokey 185bhp and 300lb/ft of spanish mules - it's the handling and brakes that are doing it for me just now Roads around here are in a SHOCKING state though, so many random potholes on roundabouts these days

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Yup lol

I was the same the noise on boost from it is just awesome check my vids for the noise...

Personally id get a exhaust place to fit then its done prober then...OOO my old stage 2 k03s was a monster with that on...
You'l see the size on the OEM one when you take it off its shocking..

I know what you mean, I'm seriously thinking about taking pictures of some of them and showing the council! Coming out of Marks n Spencers tonight I slammed through a pot hole and felt it right through my spine! Even the ones they've tried repairing 'over night' are failing already only a few weeks later!

Yup lol

I've seen your vids which is why I jumped at you selling it! I'll have a looky at how difficult the job is and assess it from there, get a garage to check it over as I might put her in for an early service to be sure it's a smooth upgrade!
I can't wait to hear the TIP, but with this aswell I'm guna be wetting myself!!

 

[UncleFester]

Yup there was another STINKER of a hole where the H10 crosses the V10 - right on the blind side of the roundabout - place is falling to bits!
