The Very Start
Thought i may aswell start a thread
Started in July 2009 when i bought the Cupra
Heres some pics from when i picked her up
After owning for 7 months repair bills have now reached the £1000 mark!!
Previous owners had obviously not cared for the car and quite frankly it turned out to have been neglected!
So far ive changed
Brakes all round
2 wishbones
2 anti roll bar links
2 rear hubs
Wheel bolts all round (absolutely kackered threads)
Full interior
Clutch replacement
Repaired clutch pedal
Gear linkage
Previous owner had 17" supperlegerras on, the car then has rear spacers and the standard radius wheel bolts.
Resulting in wheel bolts barely holding the wheels on, damaged rear hubs and bolts all stripped
Interior was seriously neglected and turned out one seat was crooked, it later snapped so picked up a new interior
The rest are just serviceable parts but obviously had just been left leaving me with the joy of replacing them!
Enough of the problems, some more positive things
First to be changed was the gay lexus lights to some nice fresh standards
Then after replacing
Brakes all round
2 wishbones
2 anti roll bar links
2 rear hubs
Wheel bolts all round
Clutch
Was time for a rolling road
Was off to Northampton Motorsport for rolling road day
It came back with 186.6@ flywheel
and a very healthy 222.7 torque figure
Rather happy with the figures only having a mild map (15psi peak)
Then i focussed on the bay a little bit
Replaced the 007p with a turbosmart
replaced blue vac lines with red
added some more red
Replaced cheap ebay filter with a Jetex
Silicone extension
Coldside relocation
Sprayed strut brace
Heres the engine bay before
Engine bay after
