@grabania nice work on the upgrades/updates!

I swapped a camshaft position sensor as part of preventative maintenance. Easy to swap out in a matter of minutes. More pics in RR as usual: https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/nd-photo-nl-s-seat-leon-st-cupra-280.477591/post-5076931

Because, why would you settle with what you have when you can buy new stuff you probably dont need Like a big purple filter

Oil change and new Mintex front pads fitted, out for a track day soon to test them under pressure.

Does anybody know the part number of the tool to hold the crankshaft pulley in place whilst replacing the pulley with a Fluidamper one.

@tracktoy should be this one

SATRA S-XHT is crankshaft pulley (vibration damper) holding wrench spanner tool. Designed for holding the pulley still when loosening or tightening the pulley central bolt. Specially designed for TFSi/ TSi 1.8 & 2.0 litre petrol engines in VAG-Group vehicles from 2004 onward.

Let me know how the Fluidampr is, because I also want one haha

You also have this one, which is a little bit more flexible

Pardon our interruption...

Thanks very much, once its fitted I will take it out on the track and see if I feel any difference.

@tracktoy I did a similar upgrade on my Mini Cooper S, where I replaced the OE with an ATI Super Damper. Funny thing is, after replacing, the Mini felt slower. But then I looked at the speedo and I was wrong. It felt slower because it smoothed out the ride a lot. Power delivery became buttery smooth and even more lineair (its a 1.6L 4 cilinder supercharged powerplant), I wasnt expecting that.

Thats how I loosened & tightened the crank bolt haha

In spite of my car still being MIA, I have been collecting parts ready for it's return...

The latest arrival are some aero parts for under the car...

Fitted the rieger front splitter today. Think it looks really well and was a doddle to fit thanks to this forum. Rieger diffuser went on last week and just waiting for new spoiler to come then I am done on the outside. Next will be an upgraded sound system but going for something better than the seat sound upgrade if within budget.

Hi mate was 210 delivered which came next day which I know is more than maxton however it fits like a dream mate and has all fittings with instructions which the maxton stuff doesn't . The quality is incredible as well mate definitely get it done. I would have probably had to go to maxton to have any stuff fitted from them so if you take into account this the rieger is much better in value

Another great day at Cadwell, testing out the Mintex F4R Pads and very happy with the first performance they lived up to the billing much better than the Ferodo DS2500 (Which are great road and occasional track pads in my view) just got to see if they live up to the length of the old Mintex M1166 Pads (which they no longer make)
