Finally a RR thread, two years....shame on you

Car looks ace mate, loving that AM FMIC, shame they went bust as their 'coolers are top notch! Engine bay looks mint aswell, very busy and some nice colour going on.

Future plans for her?

 

[tommy2008cupra]

i know mate read through everyones on here now i think lol, i was bored and is to cold to go out so i thought id start one, ye need to get some proper pics up that was when it had just been put in after a certain someone crashed a certain yellow ibiza lol the only future things im thinking off is possibly hybrid and defo a new clutch mine has done 94k and never been changed! but doesnt slip still even with 100bhp and 100ftlb more than standard?

 

[cupramillo]

If its not broke then dont fix it, thats my motto! I had my standard clutch on 77k then i upgraded to ko3s and it started to slip, went for the VR6/G60 setup, handles ko3s easily and is fine for hybrid levels of torque

 

[tommy2008cupra]

hmmm true i think that maybe the next step, defo needs to be bled at the mo so stiff!! and tried to bleed it before but the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder will not budge without snapping it off gearbox housing so might just buy a new one

saw this at Got boost mate, looks really good. mad me want a black one good figures too

 

[tarzan]

nice car you got and some nice figures hoe much boost do you have with the revo on b9?i got 1,45bar with revo on b8t8 on k03 turbo

 

[tommy2008cupra]

in lower gears it spikes to around 21,22psi and higher gears to around 24psi not sure what it holds to the redline tbh

 

[tommy2008cupra]

right here are some more pics

 

[tommy2008cupra]

heres the comparison from previous rolling road with ths mani,lcr fuel pump,a&m intercooler + hardpipework, badger 5 phenolonic gasket

the last one on its own

 

[tommy2008cupra]

any comments welcome

 

[Bowen]

i didnt see this on the RR at Got Boost, but i did see it there.

looks great, thought of a stubby ariel? i guess its not top of the list but for £3.99 subtle cheap mod.

 

[tommy2008cupra]

ye could be an idea, you got a yellow one have u mate? didnt see that down got boost?

 

[Bowen]

I had a blue one up until a month ago, when a woman in a focus slammed into me.

Whats with your Reg Tommy? is it a private plate / irish or something?

 

[tommy2008cupra]

its irish mate i thought it was a private plate at first a rubbish one at that lol i think the first owner is on here clubby i think his name is

 

[tommy2008cupra]

whats your new one like then mate mods etc?

 

[Bowen]

other than a green cotten filter, standard to the point that the window regs are broke, brilliant! i will be starting a readers ride thread when i get some pics and some progress. ive got FMIC and T.I.P waiting to go on.

I thought it was irish, my old man got an irish plate. got his nick name and the year he passed his test! lucky git!
