Cupra R rear box

[Danzibar9]

Hi all

Will a Curpra R oval rear box fit on to a FRTDi 150? May be a stupid question, but i got to ask, i have had one offered to me.

Just done a job on ours. Bought the tail pipe off the box from 'badlydrawnbanan' on here (cheers), made a 'Y' piece as the tail pipe is two pipes behind the oval part, welded it to a straight pipe, then cut off the standard box & replaced it with a straight pipe with the LCR tail piece. Now it only has the turbo & cat to quieten it!! Its not noisy at all, just a very deep growl & when you change gear, hell of a 'chirp' noise comes out of the exhaust - sounds similar to a dump valve!

Thanks mate. That is very usefull. How are your Eibach ARBs working? Do they stop the driveshaft rubbing. I am having a nightmare with that at the mo.

no probs. No rubbing at all, but another arse of an issue yesterday, bent a coilover.... Crap roads locally, 35 profile tyres & cheap coilovers - asking for trouble I suppose!
Oh, ARB's are great

Ouch!! Hope mine hold out then. Im on low profiles too and the route to and from work is just a bit pot holed!
Did you fit your ARB or pay someone to do it? Was it tricky? Did it take long or cost alot to do?

Did it all myself, but I have got a two post lift in my garage which made things relatively easy!!
If you are reasonably competent & have access to a lift then go for it, otherwise take it to someone capable. Rear one is quite easy, front one is quite a bit more involved.
Took me half a day to fit the arb's, change the front bushes & fit the coil overs

Thanks for that. I do a fair bit myself but i think i will leave that to the professionals. Oh for a lift lol

Glad it worked out for you mate any pics ?
