  1. Cupra rocks at Castle Combe!

    Hi All Poverty, i have been looking in to transmission lost over last hour or so... My findings are as follows on an Evo it is about 40/45 bhp... The K1 is about 15/25kgs lighter than an Evo 9 ... K1 = 1385/1375.... Evo 9 = 1400.... Now bear in mind not all but a fair few Evos run...

  4. spark plug upgrades ? is it worth it

    Hi Cupra 79 I dont think there will be an up date as you cannot feel anything for just changing plugs on a std car to be honest ;) But on a modded car you can feel if the plugs are not performing . Cheers
  5. painting standard alloys black?

    Hi To get wheels painted would cost about £45 a wheel. Also Degzy Only one thing to mention about powder coating IS they should not do it at the std temp for powder coating. Which i think is 220 but about 180 because i have heard about this weakening the alloy and the wheels breaking up :cry:
  6. REVO Trial

    Traumapat is spot on about modding a car its a very slippery slope !! :lol: But very good fun ;) I started out with an 51 Plate Ibiza Cupra with Revo and its been down hill ever since :doh: 1 Leon Cupra R 4 TT's 1 A4 DTM 3 Focus ST's 2 Fiesta ST's 1 Scoobie And the latest 1 Evo :D...
  7. Best Brake Pads To Stop Brembos Squeeking

    Hi As stewbie55 has said ;) Copper slip on anti squeal shim will work wonders. Cheers
  8. spark plug upgrades ? is it worth it

    Hi If the car is std then normal plugs will do ;) You will gain zero in performance otherwise. I use iridium plugs as the spark is stronger and they are less prone too have the spark affected when running high boost & compression in a tuned engine ( i think the term is spark blow out ) As...

  10. The 348PS Cupra! Forge Twin Intercooler Installed!

    Nice motor Dan :clap: Dan can i ask how much the work and parts cost to get the 380 horse's ? (dont worry i understand if you dont want to say) As i said earlier i have seen post's on Audi TT forum where it cost's about 13k for 405bhp conversion and 25k for the 450 one. I had a A4DTM 2ltr fsi...
  11. The 348PS Cupra! Forge Twin Intercooler Installed!

    Wicked 380bhp ;) I bet that pulls like a train ? Probably 0-60 around 5 secs 0-100 in 10 secs Is that with just std turbo with re-map, exhaust,induction kit or do you have to uprate rods & internals etc ? Cheers
  12. The 348PS Cupra! Forge Twin Intercooler Installed!

    Hi Zboyd Your spot on with the suspension :clap: I dont know about the Leon but with the Evo i have, it has a good suspension setup, But you can have it re-tracked to a more aggressive fast road setup ;) I know that with the new 2ltr fsi Turbo engine you can get a 405bhp tuning package at a...
  13. The 348PS Cupra! Forge Twin Intercooler Installed!

    I know the std brakes are good i have had a Leon Cupra R ;) But if you are re-mapping the car by another 60/100bhp it will push the brakes to there limit if you are going the give the car a good thrashing. Brembo's are a good brake system but they are let down by poor quality soft discs that...
  14. The 348PS Cupra! Forge Twin Intercooler Installed!

    As earlier in the thread you cannot tell if the discs are fitted the right way around just by looking at the groves on the outside of the disc ;) These groves are just there to clean the face of the pads. Because they are vented the way the vents or vanes are positioned and cut out or cast...

  17. how much bhp can i go up to before i have to upgrade the injectors?

    I dont think my car is any better than yours Bear ;) They are just different mate !! I love the look of the scoobie from side and rear,but think the Evo is more aggresive from front on. Just had the AP'S fitted and had to buy some wheels as the off set was no good for the speedlines that were...
