what have you done to your car today ?

[Jimmy3rown]

I swapped the chunky Fabia rear wiper for the more tidier Touran wiper. The drag has significantly been reduced - improved fuel economy and faster acceleration!

Off topic - does anyone suffer from regular sticky throttle syndrome? I use my car near enough every day, and every 3-4 months I have to clean the throttle body to stop the hesitation under acceleration, or the feeling that the brakes have been slammed on. Cleaning it out fixes the problem, it just seems a bit regular. I don't spray carb clearner through the hose, instead take the body off for a thorough clean and align using vag-com.

Washed it, emptied my stuff from it as it is now sold and off to a new home tomorrow night

Yeah the vents are a nice touch. Interior mods are needed as tbh that's where we bloody spend all the time lol

Thanks lee. I enjoyed making them and seeing them Come together. Just have to make a loom up now. Wish I could get my hands on a black w8 light to finish the inside off...

I'm with Admiral, and I notified them of my stainless exhaust with no premium increase, so will try the same with a remap!

but with the new exhaust going on the car and lets say that its a cobra one,surley it makes sence to fit that instead of some O E exhaust that wont last as long as the cobra one,plus the cobra one would be better built?
kinda like fiting LED lights to the car as compared to the std lights that came with the car,is classed a modification or just improvement to the car its self?

Absorb plenty of water out of the left side of the boot, tried out the boot carpet and deadening and fix the leaky rear washer pipe

Any partnrs? Also: does it need modding or straight swap?

 

[FrixosLeon]

Well I used the rear wiper off of a Golf MK5 (which looks exactly the same as the pic) and it was a direct replacement.. Only downside: the wiper is shorter thus not cleaning a large portion of the glass! but it looks awesome, so I do not care!!

Drove it, first time in two weeks, been waiting for the new exhaust / cat section. Been driving the Mrs 1.2 Polo in the mean time, never has 180bhp of 1.8T goodness felt so fast! dealer wanted £700 for a new cat ! Settled for a pattern part from a trade seller for less than a third of that, cat is nowhere near as meaty but hopefully it'll do the job.

After a week on holiday I came back to find the rear washer wasn't working - oh the joy of the dodgy fitting in the rear left panel!!!!!!
10 mins later it was back together and working fine.
Remove 3 screws (one you have to lift rear seat back up to expose), pull off rear parcel shelf panel, refit hose onto 90deg fitting and replace everything back

I fitted a new N75 valve to my 05 Cupra r
