White "Lion" Cupra - DSG converted track car
teo_parvu:
Now I'm concerned about those 40kgs that the DSG will add. :thinking:
So future plans are:
- Carbon sunroof delete
- Rear wiper delete
- Maybe change the engine map to MRC
Something like this, but I cannot find it in Europe (Passat, Golf, Leon, Altea use the same sunroof): :grin:

@Shoduchi - Man, seems that my KNC gearbox which should be the same age as yours has 25T parking brake. I was about to send the diff back to Darkside Developments, but they said it is better to wait and look. My mechanic opened the gearbox today and said it has 25T. :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:
I'm very happy about this because shipping to and back from Bucharest is expensive and takes at least 10 days.
Unfortunately all my brake pads for next year are 25mm thick:
Need to find out where to machine them to 18mm now. :thinking:

Oh boy... :surprised: :doh: :slap:
Just checked ETKA following your information mine must be 25T as you said. Yours came out in the Audi A3 and was produced from 11/2007 till 06/2008. Mine was produced from 05/2007 till 12/2008. :sad1:

No problem, I'm so glad that I don't have to change it. :happy2:
If you have the possibility to check (maybe the order/invoice) will be great, it will help the guys from Darkside Development to build a database of gearbox codes and parking rings. They are already working on it. Then it will be shared with the producers to help others in the future. :wink:

After the good news with the LSD that fits the gearbox, I got the bad one, seems that the starter motor is the new version 02E911023S and I need the old one 02E911023J. Ebay here I come. :smiley:
The DSG gearbox with the LSD is on now and the rear of the car is ready, the new suspension and the bushes installed. :driver:
