Yeah, it's a great daily mate. Drive it all year round. Rear as standard on the early ones like mine is a bit snappy, particularly in the wet, but that can be sorted with decent tyres and geo. The old 'lack or torque' thing isn't that bad to be fair bits just a 2.0l NA, no worse than any others...

Indeed, when i bought it, it had budget tyres on it... tells you everything you need to know about the previous owner!

So only a small update for the Cupra this week as didnt have much spare time due to needing to do a valve adjustment on the S2000 as well... So just took the carbon canister out Untitled by ianjobson, on Flickr Untitled by ianjobson, on Flickr As mentioned the whole bay will be...

Just finished reading your thread mate, top work! defo have the same attitude to it as me in that everything must be clean and no expenses spared! Will likely pick your brains on a few bits

Cheers guys!

So, I was just looking at my previous Readers Ride thread and i started it in 2007!? How time flies, Conscious i am only meant to have one but this is a build thread so admin please feel free to delete the old one. The Cupra served well as a road car for a long time. Last year though i bought...

Yeh the powers about rite without a diff, surprises a lot of "the big boys" shall we say! I'll up the power and fit a diff once its off the road and just a track car.

Cheers

I can't quite believe I am fast approaching 4 years of ownership of this Cupra... A few new pics below of a shoot at the weekend Behind the scenes

Running out of weekend guys? lol

Help, unusual boost problem Hi guys, would appreciate your opinions. Ive tried searching and cant find this problem. I have an issue with the time its taking to spool the turbo at the moment. My car normally runs 1.2bar, recently it started to stop at 1.1 and now less than a bar... If you can...

It is only corners at speed so I'm thinking ARBs polly bushes and arch rolling may be the route. If not the different weighted springs I guess

This may be a daft question but how much do ARB's cure roll by? Im running KW varient 1's and on track suffer from the tyre scrubbing the arch ar the front. will uprate ARB's make enough of a difference to keep the arch off the tyre or am i looking at damper adjustable coily's so i can stiffen...

the standard spring is technically only good for 8 psi... so thats probably not gonna help the issue, It wont cause over boost just the flutter. check here http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=0007&product=FMDVSU110 From your post though it doesnt sound like your...

It may be your spring not strong enough for the high boost? what colour spring you got in it?

I need the rocker cover gasket part number please guys, (on the the cupra that is)

hmmm maybe!

Hmmm the positive does seem a bit loose but theres no way it cudav come right off and on again? also would this not reset the trip computer too?

ive tried searching nothing seems to match. Driving along and all of a sudden the dials drop off, accelerator has no effect yet i keep radio and electric windows, pull over turn key off and on starts fine off it goes... theres also a chance it reset the mile counter under the total mileage...
