    K&N Typhoon intake kit?

    i wouldn't spend £200 on a filter the difference would be negligable on power and probably not an awful lot of noise (due to no turbo sucking). my mate just got a universal cone for his car at the cost of £16 delivered and that looks quite smart. this one here. another option is to smooth...

    i dont know about LCR's but cupras have a large gap on the top mounts. as for creaking id be checking rubbers (mounts, stops etc) and that anythign that should be lubed is

    Conversion to 1.8 20VT

    you can pick up cupra's very cheap. i sold mine for 750 (had a few little issues) but even decent ones struggling for 1200, pre-facelift. to be completly honest i didnt enjoy my ownership of the cupra there shite standard its just a straight line car.

    coilovers..!

    if you eventually plan on slamming the car on its bottom you'll need a bigger loop ARB such as audi tt one and possibly adjustable droplinks

    tdi custom exhaust size

    as said 3" is no good unless you have lots of bhp, infact you'll most likely see a drop due to massive loss of backpressure. im not sure of standard size but 2.5" will be more than enough

    Clutch Vibration with Air Con on

    do you ever get any clutch slip? my dad had the same issue with his mini and this due to clutch needing replacing. not tryign to scare you and there may well be a reason for this but that was reason behind his issue (all be it in a mini)

    make sure that any work you've had done to car gets taken into consideration as gearbox rebuilds and clutches all add to value.

    Mk1 1.6 S Crank Pulley 'fell' off

    if you've had cambelt snap / come off at that speed repairing the engine is the worst idea. buy a donor engine or get a new car AND DONT LET YOUR MATE TIME IT UP HAHA. at that speed all sorts of damage could have been done and repairing it will most likely cost 3/4 times more than getting a...

    Car insurance

    never take the renewal price you get sent through. if you look online you WILL get it cheaper, at the moment money supermarket does appear cheapest quotes. (i monitor these things like a hawk) also go direct to same company again via the website and get a quote alot of the time it will be...

    ibiza tdi 130 .BIG TURBO. 273bhp. FOR SALE??

    you'd be better getting it to standard (as close as possible) mods do not add value and the only real prospective buyer would be off of here, if you left as it is. i've had a lot of cars / bikes and i personally would never buy a 'heavily' modified vehicle neither will alot of people for...

    2009 Exeo 143 Sport

    did you manage to get the star screw off? you can use a small flathead to get between 2 of the grooves if not its worth getting a little kit of different heads. i got my kit (60 piece i think) from aldi for about £7 so always worth checking supermarket or tool shops for them

    Another Noob!...looking to tinker

    you can remap with a panel filter and a smoothed airbox. stage 1 is just a filter if you got money and/or time on your hands i'd wait for stage 2. fmic,exhaust,filter,DV. best section to ask for mod advice is leon mk1 section, theres also plenty of Readers Rides to get ideas haha

    Another Noob!...looking to tinker

    forge 007p seems to be the DV of choice. induction kit and and n249 bypass will increase some of the noise (also has a very nice exhaust note with induction kit)
