White FR to Black Cupra - Cupra Now Sold :(

[Scott-o]

Boss said I have 5 parcels waiting for me so think it might be there now, gonna pop in after work to check parcels and get pictures of Paul murphys forged engine we are doing!

Yeh proper solid buckets might look abit funny. Some nice reclining ones would be nice though. Sonelys are nice but 300 quid without subframes is abit much for a mod I'm not fussed about. Can get some proper willians harnesses for free from work too that used to be in the etype race car but they are blue so wouldn't match mine much

I want a WOTbox more

[Scott-o]

Standard mani will be fine, it's thick cast steel lol

Small update:

Fitted super pro dogbone bush

Bosch flexiblade wipers

Also got my transparent red HEL brakelines, new bleed nipple covers and my sachs clutch.

Will get pics of them tomorrow. Disks, pads, brakelines, new bleed nipple covers and fresh rebleed will be happening tomorrow along with the engine mount

Still need to get hold of the flywheel before lightening and balancing can happen, then clutch can go on with that

Hmm wipers , I need some i think , mine are useless!

 

[Scott-o]

I never use my wiper tbh but the flexiblades just look better!

Can't wait to get everything on tomorrow like, should go a tad better on pick up and brake aswell as it goes haha

Small update:

Fitted super pro dogbone bush

Looks familiar I'd recommend raising the idle speed to circa 950rpm

 

[Scott-o]

2nd one I have had to do now lol this one was more of a pain though for some reason! Hope I notice it as much as I did on the diesel!

This is what i need to do theres so much rattle with the VR6 clutch and G60 flywheel is kind of annoying!

The bush is good though just feels like it wants to go

 

[Scott-o]

I went for the slightly softer bush rather than the solid one. If car goes back to John to have the launch control activated again I'll ask him to raise it

Pics of the other bits:

Both bits of kit seem very good! Dead impressed with the brake lines, mint quality!

The 700k shure one (or what ever it is)!!! You've let me down, Scott

It made a big difference when I fitted it to the ibiza so you'll deffo notice the difference.

theres nothing wrong with the softer bush it still makes a massive difference only without the rattles and hassle of raiseing up the idle.

Ha sorry mate yeh I hope so, could tell 100% in the old fr so hoping this will be similar!

Yeh anything will be better than te standard one, it's terrible! Just cars getting less and less comfy I wanted to retain something on my 400 odd miles a week lol

 

[Scott-o]

And i dont think the missus would like sitting in them

Didn't see this before! Haha yeh probably not, she doesn't really like the car any more lol thinks it's too loud and too fast :| refuses to even have a go in it haha

 

[cupra.al]

after i had my car mapped before i fitted the bush it felt like the engine wanted to sit on my lap while pulling away etc,after the bush was fitted the engine didnt seem to move half as much.

 

[Hartosh1]

Where did you get the bleed cover nipples from Scott? Im sure the 70k will still be as good

 

[Scott-o]

Just off eBay mate discs and pads are on, brake lines arnt on as they said they had problems undoing the standard ones, so there's some penetrating fluid on them now so they can be fitted in a few days. Personally I have an inkling they just didn't want to work any later on a Saturday haha

Havnt had a proper drive yet but even before many miles they seem sharper and brake pedal feels stiffer!

Just had my car in gf's garage and fitted the gearbox mount:

Exhaust not so shiner anymore

Only moved it out the garage and can feel the vibrations more already! Glad I didn't get harder one tbh!

Cant be as harsh as the diesel
