    My Cupra Mk1 daily to track project

    Only a small update this time, well I broke it! Ok it was only the clutch master cylinder but that gave me chance to switch to ATE Type 200 fluid and also fit new "medium to hard" compound pads by Cosworth as I had another day at Blyton booked. Sadly my brakes are still not quite up to the...

    My Cupra Mk1 daily to track project

    I am looking at using the earlier TT arms which you can mod to fit the normal anti-roll bar, my coilovers don't have the drop link tab plus I run a whiteline front anti-roll bar which wasn't cheap so ideally will keep that. oh I'm on standard but polybushed drop links and suffer no driveshaft...

    My Cupra Mk1 daily to track project

    Well, I finally got some time on track at Blyton Park last Saturday, sadly the weather wasn't good with rain showers and a wet track. It made certain corners a little more fun!! I did have the car properly 4 wheel aligned and got some feedback from the owner (who tracks a BMW) and I am now...
