When you turn it into a track car you will have to remove all of this
Haha yes, but until then, the road noise is driving me mad.When you turn it into a track car you will have to remove all of this
Got the stuff to do mine but not had time or the weather. Need the doors doing too. Seat upgraded the sound system but seem to have forgotten the sound deadening in the doors.Done a bit of soundproofing
I've done the rear bench too. Was gonna tackle the doors but may not attempt thatGot the stuff to do mine but not had time or the weather. Need the doors doing too. Seat upgraded the sound system but seem to have forgotten the sound deadening in the doors.
If the Revo DSG map is anything like the RacingLine, you’ll love itJumped in the ST300 this morning and took a drive to my good friends Dale&Clive down at Clive Attowe tuning in Norfolk for the cars first service and a couple of other goodies. I use these guys instead of the main dealer as they have done a few things to my car..revo stage1,revo carbon intake system,cat back exhaust system,oil change,fixed panoramic roof lining. They have all ways been honest and straight with what needs to be done at a very reasonable price. I even ask them to change the haldex oil for me as a peace of mind as I read that it should be changed at 20,000miles,4 new NGK iridium spark plugs........ oh and I thought I’d better mention that to compliment the revo stage1 remap I had done a few months ago I’ve now got the revo dsg stage1. Have not had time to really try it out yet as it is absolutely pi***g it down here. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some drier weather and I can give it some beans. View attachment 5234

It took about 25 mins for the boot and about 45mins for the rear bench. I imagine it'll grate on the more OCD members as the logo and pattern isn't followed throughout. However, it'll never be seen, everything is covered and it does make a difference. Not a huge difference, but it muffles and silences the road noise really well. I guess if you have time and a bit of money to spare, you can get sound deadening foam instead which some people have done.This -seems- simple for the boot, how easy / time consuming was it and how much difference did it make?
Biggest issue with my 2014 Cupra 280 SC is the loud tire roar and wind noise, second only to it's incredibly quiet exhaust.
It actually looks kinda neat too!

I got Dynamat Xtreme - I think it's about £50 for a full boot kit. I bought it a fair while ago for my previous Cupra, and bought a couple of additional sheets when I got this car...but I still have stupid amounts left!If you don't mind what padding did you get and how much did it cost? I'm new to all of this so I'm full of questions haha
Might well be my first mod.

Thanks mate! I'm struggling to find a £50 kit, mostly finding the £150 bulk pack from UK vendors but that might not be a bad idea if I have a friend confident enough to tackle the doors...
p.s. just looked at your build thread to see the Cupra R... certainly something to behold. Been in love with them ever since I saw their grey one on display at Blade Seat Gloucester - it'll be mine one day!
When I bought my kit, it was listed as a boot kit, but in reality it was just 3 or 4 large sheets. Add that to the few sheets I already had left over from the rear bench of my last car, and then a couple more sheets I bought for the new car, I have essentially the 'boot kit' left over still. If you're looking at Dynamat, it's very flexible and very sticky, easy to cut and position. That's why I cut smaller pieces rather than large pieces as it's easier to manipulate into shape and position.
You should definitely get the R. You won't regret it
Well can’t comment of a before and after remap as both done at same time. But I’d say after a week or so now it’s great. Not sure my wife’s figured outs it’s been remapped yet, as drives just as well if not better than before.@Damo H......didn’t pick the car up till about 3pm and then the heavens opened up and it hasn’t stopped raining yet. Not had time to really do anything in the car yet: launch control etc,but I must say even in comfort mode it feels so much smoother. Roll on tomorrow when I can give it a test.Didn’t know that you got the dsg remap too. Whats your opinion on it. Have you managed to drive it hard at all.
