    BMS JB1 who has one?

    Im running a JB1on my Cupra 280 but have it set to relativly conservative settings on Map 6 as i don't want to hammer the clutch too much.

    68 plate cupra, looking at JB1. Need advice.

    I can't see there being a problem myself, i'd have thought the sensors it plugs into for the JB1 are the same. I run mine on map 6, but i have a manual. i have a 15 plate 280... but also a 18 plate 300 ST and it looks the same. Best to check as above though.

    New Cupra Owner - general questions and thoughts

    Yeah they are pretty cheap for the difference they make. There are some videos online which will help show you how to fit it. The Golf R, S3 all have the same set up. I fitted mine myself on the drive, but if you want a garage to fit it, it should only be a half hr job at most id say. The only...

    New Cupra Owner - general questions and thoughts

    When you head out tomorrow, if you floor the throttle from stationary the front end of the car will probably bounce up and down/ give you a big vibration through the whole car. It’s the engine rocking and moving about under load, with it being transverse. The insert slots into the existing bush...

    Cupra brand logo

Plus the cupra letters on the early cupra's had the flag at the end of the letters, this was on the dash and on the tailgate generally, which was different to the R's Cupra Flags. Im not a fan of the new Cupra Logo, i...

    Back with two Cupra's

    Cheers! Im really happy with both of them. Its Nevada White I think... (metallic white), but it does look a bit grey in that pic I must admit! As far as i know the only option on it is the Seat Sound system, which seems to make a difference over the one in the estate.

    Heavy Steering - difference between Cupra and Cupra R?

    Yeh i was under the impression the rack was different too. i had a leon cupra and my mate had the cupra r we both had 18" alloys on, but the steering feel was noticeably different. :shrug:

    Wheel arches

    They look like the ones that SEAT used to sell as a genuine acessory. Dunno if you can still buy them from SEAT. :shrug:

    Cupra(180) or tdi(150) ? ?
