:laugh: Standard? What's that? :D

Looks like some of the mods I wanted are going to end up arriving sooner rather than later. Got talking to Damian at DPM today who quoted me rather good prices for a set of AP coilovers and a Blueflame turbo back exhaust and decat. Can't wait, the coilovers will be going on after winters gone though.
-
Looking like a great set of mods on that list Nef :happy2:
You may well end up adding a Sach's clutch to that list at some point :wink:

Thanks mate, if I were to go for stage 2 without the intercooler would the clutch start the slip?
-
^^^Depends on your settings.
I would budget for clutch tho.
Looking good there mate. Welcome :drinking:
My 3-4yr love affair with the Cupra will be coming to an end soon.

Thanks, i will do now.
I take it by that you mean your selling up, what you going for next mate?
Don't suppose you could recommend a few clutches, not to clued up on the to be honest.
Thanks.

Finally registered my private plates to my car, only one problem...................................

i wanted to go for a smaller than standard plate size for the front and rear, but this is ridiculous :rolleyes:
think i should have double checked the sizes :D
-
Over the Christmas period i managed to get my coilovers and TBE exhaust fitted. To say im happy with the outcome would be an understatement.
I'm surprisingly please with the handling and ride comfort of the AP coilovers, personally, i would'nt say iv compromised any ride comfort and the car seems more composed then cornering.
Anyway, here's a few videos of the car, no amazing fly-by's as it was only done it a car park. Pictures will follow after i try and sort them out on Photoshop.

I must say it does sound nice. One thing I miss from owning a dieseasal.
-
I do like the sound of that! :happy2:
-
Thanks lads, yeah unfortunately the sound is rather addictive, so iv seen a rapid decrease in my MPG, lol.

Looking and sounding great!

That is making me really like the facelift! And yellow too... Which I never thought i would say :)
-
Thanks for the comments,
Its a shame they didnt do the center of the lower bumper in black though, id prefer that.

Get it vinyl wrapped should be a pretty cheap and easy thing to do :wink:

Agreed on the yellow comment, when I ordered mine I thought who on earth would choose yellow, but it looks great in the pics :happy2:
-
Anyone know somewhere in the Cambridge area that do the wrapping?
I also agree about the colour. Lol :grin: when I first seen it sitting in the corner of the dealership I dismissed it. But after driving it and looking at it a lot more I totally just fell I love. Still absolutely love the colour now.
-
Mine is wrapped at the bottom of the front bumper - had it done when it was 2 days old :happy2:

Glad you are chuffed with the car - word of advice though - you probably want to remove your number plate and the fly by video as the old bill have been known to charge people for posting that kind of stuff on the web.
-
Makes such a difference to the appearance of the car, who did it for you mate? Car looks awesome.
Deleted just to be on the safe side. :happy2:
-
Your car sounds really good! I'm liking the yellow!
-
Thanks mate,
Well, had a mind numbingly boring day today waiting in Jabbasports waiting room. Arrived at their place of work in Peterbourgh at 9am this morning, after waiting 30 minutes one of the mechanics came over to me asking what map i had on the car :surprised:
Turns out the car already has a Revo remap on it and its running 320bhp :jumpmove: he went away and i though that was the end of it, job done off i pop home. NOPE! over the next few hours i asked a few times what was taking them so long putting my car back together, to which i kept getting the same reply "just working on it". After SIX HOURS I finally got the call saying my car was ready, along with the strangely hefty bill of £180 :stupid: i asked them what that was for and got told it was because they spent so long trying to remove the Revo map :fighting: so i said i wouldnt have wanted it removed anyway and id been waiting 5 and a half hours for them to tell me this. The bill got ripped up and the receptionist moaned a little.
So happy at the fact iv saved money as the car already has a map, just gutted that i was expecting more power. :sad1:
-
Finally an update worth posting about :signLOL:
Had a trip to AMD Essex at the weekend to get my Revo Stage 2, the outcome, 330bhp and 374lbf. Would highly recommend them, extremely helping and a friendly bunch :notworthy: , as the car was bought standard with me not knowing about the Revo map the car obviously wasnt set up for the mods iv got on the car. The power the car now has is incredible, heres my graph. Didnt think it did too badly considering its only got Decat TBE and an ITG.
