White FR to Black Cupra - Cupra Now Sold :(

[Hartosh1]

Manual all the way i say although that DSG is quick

 

[Scott-o]

Dsg is for people with one leg hahaha

Real driving experience all the way. If they came in manual i woulda seriously been tempted to order a polo gti from when i sold my fr!

 

[Damoegan]

Have you's drove a DSG car?

Its awsome how fast they change gears













Still not for me though, manual ED30 all day

 

[Scott-o]

never driven one but been in one. Id love it in some situations but manual for me

 

[Damoegan]

When I tested one I kept going for the gear leaver when approaching a corner although you can change with the gearstick too......

 

[Scott-o]

i think id just keep going for the clutch haha

yeh i like the idea you can change between the paddles and the stick but meh

 

[wigz45]

Yeh I let my warm up and cool down everytime, dead anal about it!

I don't think the mk5's seem that quick standard, can imagine they are mapped though! Couldn't get on with dsg everyday though. Still can't wait to see the new polo gti when that comes out!

we need words.

 

[Scott-o]

haha get it mapped mr wiggles! Do like them mind, yours and daves were nice. Get some coilies wanged on!

 

[wigz45]

[Scott-o]

Hey Cos! You gonna get a thread up?

ive got to agree with you 101% you cant beat having a clutch and gearstick its part of the driving experience.
i use to like f1 untill the flappy paddles come about anyone can drive with paddles where as theres skill required with a gearstick.

Just got a right result on insurance there, cancelled my policy with 7 months left on it and took out a new 10 month one, overall im 360 quid better off now and 3 more months cover than i did have happy days!

 

[cupra.al]

bloody hell that is good,did you not loose half a years no claims bonus or did that get carried over?
either way it wouldnt make much difference with that 360 quid saved.

 

[Scott-o]

Think i will have lost the no claims from this policy but only 3 months and im on 10 month accelerator anyway so its all good

basically it was 900 quid on my white fr, then after a month i bought the cupra and swapped it over before i went to view it so i could drive it back insured and they charged me 1100 ontop of my 900 :| had no choice so paid it up. Just got a quote tonight on my cupra for 983 quid with mods, so rang up cancelled my policy and took out the new one. They didnt charge me a cancellation fee either

Only problem is, i had to pay out 983 quid now and wont get my 1350 what was left on the other policy back for another week or so, so im skint until then just made 20 quid off a quid at the bookies though so that'l see me a day or two haha

 

[cupra.al]

atleast you will get your 1350 back,nice one on making 20 quid out of a quid i wouldnt know where to start at the bookies i never even win on scratch cards.
whats the next plans for your car then once the mapping is complete?

 

[Scott-o]

i just went for a walk out with the lads from college im sharing the house with cos they gamble and i was bored, i dont at all but had a spare couple of quid in my pocket so whacked it in the roulette machine haha

Need to sort out the whiteline rear anti roll bar and going to upgrade the bush on the rear engine mount. Discs and pads are going to need doing soon too on the front and then just repaint rear calipers and sort out the front ones, all nice and pink at the mo
