    Looking at buyin mk2 170fr

    Selling up mk5 Ibiza cupra, extensively modded. But due to new job ill be doing a lot of miles and don't fancy putting my trust in that DSG box. Loved the mk2 Leon, mainly the LCR but wouldn't be helping my fuel consumption issue so I'll settle for the 2L tdi fr. Get about 10k for my cupra...

    Upgrading brakes

    Upgrading brakes

    Bought some secondhand (500-1000 miles done on them) 4pot AP Racing brakes for the front of my 63 plate cupra. I have the discs, calipers and the pads but a thought has just come to me. Do I need the braided brake lines or will the standard ones do? Is it absolutely necessary for them? And if...

    LCR vs K1

    Thanks for the replies. In all fairness I'll probably get the facelift Cupra because even with the LCR, the interior is crap for me hence why I would probably retrim the inside anyway no matter which one I chose. I would also end up putting in an aftermarket nav if the car was great but...

    LCR vs K1

    Don't want this to turn into an argumentative thread as I know how much hate the k1 body kit gets from some people. But anyway. Im 20, 21 next July have a write off and 3 points on license and currently have a 63 plate Ibiza Cupra and love it, cheap insurance considering and the car has the...

    Air intake options?

    I'll get a photo tomorrow mate it's too dark at the moment haha. I'm stage 2 now but at stage 1 with just induction I was running 207bhp which was a bit on the low side apparently. Probably could've gotten 210+ with a proper induction but my car wasn't having any of it when he was trying to...

    Air intake options?

    You can just use a filter or you can use inductions. The inductions are ITG at £300 forge £200 and universal at around £100 for the build. I have the universal in my stage 2 Cupra and it does the job. Really want to upgrade to ITG though because it is proven gains and forge is restrictive once...

    Seat Wolverhampton - Barlows Motors

    Bought my Ibiza Cupra mk5 there back in June. Heard bad things about them off others who own Seats bought from there and have had work done there talking about how slow the mechanics are at finding faults and how poor customer service was, but each to their own in this industry so I went anyway...

    Rear bumper/diffuser

    I know I considered that but chances are I'll be changing car end of next year as my insurance will be viable for a Mk2 Leon Cupra K1 (as I'm still in that 'young' age bracket) so don't think I want to invest that much more into this after stage 2.

    Rear bumper/diffuser

    £1200 for a full miltek turboback and sports cat for me was a no, then it would've been fitted and apparently every miltek bit that comes in for the garage I went into, they have to chop and change the exhaust a bit to fit anyway so we're talking £1500 for it. I also want my Cupra to be...

    Rear bumper/diffuser

    Thanks Queen that's reassured me. Yeah the exhaust doesn't move at all, the garage I took it too wasn't a powerflow or anything, just a back street garage but they specialise in building and racing rally cars from scratch, done an excellent job on mine and did the mounts for me too as he said it...

    Rear bumper/diffuser

    Yeah nor have I but I wanted to see if it was realistic. I havent heard of melting diffusers but I know its a possibility hence the point of the metal surround but I highly doubt it will melt, if it does then a fresh rear bumper for me haha.

    Rear bumper/diffuser

    I have done and it's fine width ways but height it's only s couple mm either side off touching top and bottom of the plastic, there's not actually that much room in there.
