White FR to Black Cupra - Cupra Now Sold :(

Yeh the difference is massive lol I **** myself first time I put my foot down in 2nd when it spooled up!

He reckons there's no need to run them boost levels apparently and does it another way to save the turbo any stress. Think it's got quite allot of timing advance on it mind. He was majorly impressed with the diff in it like, said no matter what I paid for it to do what it does, it's worth it!

Spent 8 hours over the past two nights cleansing, sealing and waxing the car. It's like black glass! I'll try get some pics today before I have to drive to center parcs and it's dirty again lol

I reckon the best mod i done to mine was the diff its night and day like i never looked back even at the cost

 

[wazza16]

ye if your gettin the power figures ur gettin without the higher boost then spot on eh. 245hp is an impressive bench mark!!

What spark plugs would you recommend scot?

 

[Damoegan]

Scott, your only running stage 1 boost!!

More boost will give you more torque..

Nothing wrong with running 1.5bar (~22psi), practicaly every stage 2 map out there runs circa 1.5bar..

Yeh exactly, that's the idea I guess haha I've got denso iridium ik22's in my, slightly colder than standard ones. Though some people don't rate them because some units have failed. We use them in our race cars at work etc over ngk ones, which have failed on us!

Not fussed for more torque 270 is plenty at the mo, just nice knowing it's reliable and there's abit more left in it if needs be haha Motorscopes rr said it's peaking 23 but my gauge and John say otherwise lol

Few pics this morning after it's past 2 nights detailing session:

Car is like a mirror, over the moon about the results!

 

[Altech]

Your car sits perfectly on those wheels Looks very racer!

 

[Blanco92]

Awesome looking car Scott, bet it's even better to drive as well.

One cosmetic mod though... get those side repeaters tinted!

[JonnyH10]

Your car looks great, the wheels suit it perfectly! Brilliant job you've done on the paintwork too

 

[Damoegan]

Dont think you will see 270lb/ft running 18/19psi bud, hope you do though. We'll see at Motoscope again

I've got me new clutch going in next weekend ready for Motoscope

 

[Scott-o]

Cheers for the comments lads no deletes in the map as yet Gav, cars needs to go back to John for a day to up the boost a tad, get launch control back on and trial the deletes!

Steve, looking forward to seeing the new car, they do sound insane!

Car made 273ftlbs and 245.5hp last time, my mates with similar map made 10 ftlbs less torque and 3 less hp. Revo stage 2 made 15hp less and 43ftlbs less. All one after another

Not gonna get hung up on figures, as a whole package the car is fantastic!

 

[Scott-o]

Random purchase of the week:

Off on holiday Thursday with the gf so going to keep it quiet until after the holiday lol

 

[Hartosh1]

They look comfy

 

[cupra.al]

i like the look of them i suppose you have left your rear seats out then if your fitting them.

 

[Scott-o]

Lol steve, they are actually meant to be very comfortable!

Yeh Al, never looked back after stripping everything out the back, that's my seat and the gf can just make do with the standard one lol got my eyes on another cobra seat at work I found upstairs, that wouldn't fit in the etype so might get that too if my boss will let me have it cheap!

Should get another big chunk of weight out, it's only 7.5kg's with the mounts!

 

[EL]

Car looks great. Love those seats!!

 

[R1ch85]

Noisy as hell with no back seats in isn't it?
