Only just spotted this thread,but i think personally for the age of the car and for what it is i think it carries itself really well (ok petrol prices may be hit and miss,depending on how you want to talk about it) Done a couple long trips like yours in Europe and the longest was germany-spa...

bad news there mate, I always lock the car with a crook lock one that covers the whole steering wheel, but that's crap man! When the cars in the garage battery is disconnected, keys upstairs with a anti snap lock on the door....and if it was started id defiantly hear it...hopefully you get the...

Seatturbopower (chris)-Seat leon cupra mk1

..................... emissions????:blink:haha if id had taken my car to kwit fit then they would like to know why its off the scale....until thy see its got no catalytic converter :hide: as for the tyres I have toyo r 888s there not bad managed a good few track days in them. But once you get...

That's a massive bill there jezzzzz!!! seing the price of the cupra r out the now dose seem abit of a steal.....for what you get I think but its very good moneys...BUT you buy a cupra r for say 2.5k if nothing has been changed then and your looking to modify the car well.....new injector...

Some good points you made there mate, as for the comment of "just get a golf r " is abit laughable really,newer cars I think get given death from the off and once they get older they will just be worn out ragged cars. As for the engines blowing up reminds me of when I had my Renault 5 gt turbo...

Hi bud, just to let you know that id wait and see how I got on before I posted my reply, so the weekend just gone ive covered about 1400 miles or so including a trip to the ring,im running 15mm rear spacers only.lowered with 55/45mm setup on kws.....after each lap id check the rear wheels and...

might end up going to this .....with only 1 other mk 1 and that's it surrounded by the mk 3s....haha,might even get some time on the track as well did nurbugring a few weeks ago and 4 laps and a lot of petrol spent!!good fun though.

In all honestly I did think that but depends what your budget is...let's say both cars mapped out and modded, worked it out with it being a bit more with the r can't remember how much it was..compare a r and the cupra prices plays a part if 35bhp is worth it with a hybrid vs ko4...consider the...

Stick a hybrid turbo on it if you have the funds ect,and a random one is to swap the whole front sub frame to the cupra r one...cornering speeds are night and day ....after a track day I ended up doing this. (Front wheel bearing got seezied )long story!rear arb is on also

if you need a turbo mate let us know, sure I have one around for your engine Ive got the same ko3s,still have the same box ive all the paper wk also ....fitted it few yrs ago but then brought a hybrid. send us a pm if your interested and i can give you some more info ?

last night I dropped some fuel in that was 134.99 at the shell in Birmingham 5 ways, there use to be a Tesco over the road but that closed down!! few yrs ago I remember just before a track day it was around 147.99 for Tesco super juice :blink:...........................and then you have when I...

sounds like the turbo to me mate might be wrong,what miles is the car on? mine use to do the same the turbo will still boost and drive fine but smoke like a bitch...leave it a while and see how you get on,a sure sign is being at the lights drive off a build up of oil sits in the seals of the...

......................:rofl:just a bit I mean he was abit under-priced to start with in a way but still a good find:funk:

you can get a same sided intercooler with one of the outlet on the top and the other outlet on the opposite side on the bottom..check out my pic in the album but that's what I did...have a dig around on the internet ebay and you will find it,and I would just hybrid the turbo rather than the std...

Christ that's a silly price for the car there mate a massive bargin...a shame to see how low in value the cars have become,for the power you get to the price he must of been desperate to sell,though the mk 2 are pretty low now,unless its a 265 mk2 its held a value otherwise :blink:

Been twice your need about 500notes all in and your be ok can't remeber where I stayed but it's good, went spar also that's a bit less but good fun also

If its a good price why not they can take some abuse....things go worng then just fix it really but its alot of fun....pads/disc exhuast split hoses are a good check....front strut brace and rear brace is a must!good cars

wasn't a bad meet up at all really,but I think the rain for the 3rd time did it for me in the end :(....there was quite a lot of the Ibizas over at the other end and a good few of the cupras 280s as well being part of the seat group I though they would be in also....good chat also scott

should get there for about 8am me thinks and it looks to be a massive show so it should be good,on the club stand so should go well,ill be leaving early as well :cry: im ok with mornings anyway kinda :rofl:
