White FR to Black Cupra - Cupra Now Sold :(

[Scott-o]

Is that so you can pull your gears out easier when you blow them up?

I know what you mean about money, I've just had my car insurance go out.....just shy of 4 figures Happy Christmas Ash.....

Yeh it's so it stops bits of my conrods going back through the engine, when hybrid goes on lol

Yeh got so much coming out this month, it's no good! Least I'm not the only one

the paint on the Whiteline bars is Sh!** dont let the smooth finish fool you that will be rusted to hell in 6-8weeks! I'd suggest getting it shot blasted and powdercoated buddy! just my opinion and experience!

Haha that's what my old one wasnlike but you could tell straight away it was sh*t paint! This looks and feels more like powdercoat, not holding my breath though lol

Went and got gf's Xmas prezzie this afternoon, well one of them and on the way this happened:

Which made me sad haha

Then went to gf's and cracked on with the rear anti roll bar, end result:

Medium setting this time as didn't like how unpredictable my old Ibiza was when it was on stiff. Stiffer rear end means itl understeer easier which I don't want haha

Mot all passed fine said it's like new haha all cambelt done too and metal waterpump and new oil. Just gonna change the plugs myself soon as. Not 100% sure what ones to go for though! Fancy some denso ik22's as they are slightly colder.

 

[mazzerati]

Never understood the hot and cold spark plug malarky...

Explain?

even with a decat

Colder plugs are just gapped differently and allow engine timing to be advanced and still work correctly, not a must but every little helps on tuned engines I guess. Something along them lines haha

even with a decat

Lol shhuuusshhhhhhh

 

[Damoegan]

Scott, get the rer ARB on the stiffest setting dude.........

 

[paul-murphys]

looking good scott you had any more good weather to try out the diff? cant wait to get mine back now, been a delay as had problem with engine

Find it more predictable like this fr was abit funny with it on stiff compared to the cupra on medium now. Don't want to provoke understeer, especially in this weather haha

Cheers mate! Nah been at college all week and car has been sitting at the garage. Had a small blast tonight but was ruined by traffic on the good bits of road!

What was wrong with it mate? Is it not all mapped up now?

 

[Damoegan]

Wuss...

Just before I sold the Ibiza I was going to drill more holes in the rear ARB to make it even stiffer

 

[Scott-o]

Haha rear end would be that stiff you'd go straight on

The cars handling is awesome now, don't have to slow down very often if roads are clear. Still need to get used to the diff mind, just waiting for better weather!

 

[paul-murphys]

one of the cams is a tooth out so got to take chain off and adjust it got a local garage sorting it out then will be in for mapping next week hopefully,

i want some big break disks but want 340-350mm ones

found some 330's for about 430 delivered but not sure if the 7mm difference is worth it,

hows yours going and you got the map completed?

 

[Scott-o]

Sorry about that Paul dunno if it's worth ringing up Alistair at all? I would mention it but I'm not in there now till after new year! Hopefully all come together soon mate!

Will you not have to buy some adapters too and space the callipers out? Might be allot of hassle for the benefit, sure would look good though

Yeh mines all been sorted for awhile now, just biding my time before hybrid, wanna get fully used to the car before I go for more power. Also there's a lad I know making a tip like bill does for the ko4 but for the ko3s, going to see how that develops!

that will be good mate i havnt fitted tip yet going to put car to standard map then add it and see how it copes,

look forward to seeing difference beetween our cars, cant see being much difference, whats your car weigh?

and im still not 100% sure about brakes, im spending so much on the car a the min ,

want a evo 8 but keep telling myself to stop being silly as spent a silly amount on the leon since back from afghan,

i could call alister but dont think can do anything as ive not took it to him to fix, just want it running now, going for 310-320 bhp and hope it t be 350 lbs ft torque,

whos making the 3" tip for you, would be good to see how it peforms, robbie having problem with surging on his, i hope mine dont have same trouble,

 

[Scott-o]

About 1170 standard and probs lost about 20kg's out the back. Don't think there will be much difference except at top end your lcr would probs bugger off lol

Thing with evo's is everyone expects them to be fast! Knowone will expect your Leon to be as good as it is, it is fully loaded now and ready for reliable big turbo shotgun buying your engine if you eversplit the car mind

Just a lad on here is making them as a weekend project, will be first in line to buy one!

Can't wait till yours is mapped!

 

[Scott-o]

Goddam, ordered Forge cold-side relocation, actually cant help myself lol

Gonna go see if my itg filter is in at motoscope now and order some plugs i think
