Hi guys, I've been looking into having a stage 2 remap done on my LC180 by GOTBOOST in Bridgend, has anyone else had a stage 2 map done by these? I have been quoted a figure of 220-230bhp but I believe that's a bit low for stage 2 iirc. Any input would be greatly appreciated guys. Mike :)

Hi guys, I've finally managed to save up the money to be able to buy the parts (and remap) needed for stage 2.... However I have a question: is the extra money that's needed for stage 2 (i.e. FMIC, 4FPR, etc) worth the cost over a stage 1 remap? Is there really that much difference in...

Hi guys, This evening as I was driving my clutch pedal decided to hit the floor and stay there. I pulled over immediately, turned engine off, and went to have a look in the bay and under the car. In the engine bay it looked like something had leaked as there were quite a few splash marks around...

Hi guys, In the near future I will be looking to get a stage 1 remap but doubt I'll ever go to stage 2 (due to cash :( ) and was wondering, is it worth upgrading the diverter valve to either a Forge 008 / APR R1 ....or.... is it worth just going out and buying a new OEM diverter valve as I...

Evening all :) I'm currently looking at buying lowering springs in the hope they'll be fitted over the summer and needed some advice..... I plan on lowering the car onto standard cupra 180 alloys and need to know how low can I go before rubbing and won't scrape loads on speed bumps? I will...

After looking through endless threads on here I can't seem to find exactly how fast a LC 180 Stage 2 would be. My question to all the people who have a Stage 2 LC 180....how fast is your car? i.e. compared to other cars such as LCR, Vauxhall VXR's, Clio 197's, Focus ST's etc! Only want to...
