Steves cupra big plans

[seatsteve88]

Here is my cupra bought it this week 2003 110k not far off standard just has audi wheels and a piper cross panel filter.

Just ordered a oil catch can and fitting kit some led side light bulbs and a DE wiper bung.

All spent up now this month so back to leaving it alone till payday and motor g around in my company car so as not to use loads of fuel.

Next month will get full service including cam belt. Then on to making it quicker :-D

Hoping to meet a few fellow sheffield seat enthusiasts and get good advice off here ;-)

Looks nice mate good starting base for a project. Wise to give it a good service before you starting tuning. I'm doing the last of the annoying service bits next month cambelt and waterpump then it's on with the tuning lol.

I know spending 350 on service when that's miltec money sucks but has no hard proof of having cambelt or a recent service so better be safe than sorry

Mines been done one but due another now. Is annoying spending money on maintenance stuff when it could by more interesting things but needs to be done to keep them reliable.

My new led bulbs arrived for sidelights they look awesome but apparently my battery died in last 2 days so had to go buy some jump leads also ordered a new n75 valve and i am fighting the urge to order a forge 008 as if I do I think the missus will kill me lol

Full black roof liner and all handles and visors fitted just need to source a black front light. Also fitted a stage 1 ecu and what a difference it makes pulls like a train through every gear :-D next up is a full service and new brakes all round.
