how much for your remap mate? looking into getting my cupra 180 mapped
Stage one remap is around the £300 mark I think. I'm now going for a custom stage two so would be a bit more I think. Get it done ! It transforms the car.
Definitely transforms the car. My stage 2 custom map was about half the price of the stage one as the maps already there, it's just adjusting it to the stage 2 hardware
Stage 2 mk1 LCR 291bhp AmD tuned.
This of course is if your stage one map was done at the company your are using for your stage two. If not then you'll be paying for your stage two from scratch
Got my car back with LCR quick rack fitted. I've only had the rack done as mine popped a seal and needed replacing so I haven't gone the whole front subframe/wishbones etc yet.
Haven't had chance to properly test it yet but glad to have my car back on the road

What is that setting you back?
Something I'd love to get done
Stage 2 mk1 lcr 260bhp
More than a pretty penny. Not even worth it financially but I've wanted a yellow LCR for years so now I have one I want it to be nice and worth keeping.
True story that bouncer point taken
mine was.Be good to see your paint work before and after shots. Bet your looking forward to it!
I had s complete wet sand detail last year including calliper and wheel refurbs and worth every penny!!

Will make sure I take plenty of pics. Yes, really looking forward to it. Won't be for eight weeks or so, just after Bill @ Badger5 works his custom stage two magic
Refurbing wheels myself as I have all the kit. Not accomplished enough to tackle the car though

oil change
Decided to change the oil from only doing it 2 months previous as i I had noticed mayo in dipstick all the way through.I literally do about 500 yards commute and back but need my car for my job during the day, so oil barely gets warm. Looked at part of breather system and discovered it was shocking so ripped out the PCV system.
Think I'll be going down the catch can route this week..

Looks good mate! Nice clean up job too! Will hopefully be replacing my gay toyo sports centre and rear soon lol
Not today but in the weekend.
Upgraded the wipers to VW aero ones.

But it don't sit right. So had to adjust it a little higher.

And also found out why the rear wiper was not giving out any screen wash.
This pipe underneath the glovebox came loose![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")

Roohul, if you trim an inch off the end of the wiper then it will sit better and not touch the window seal.
I've finally found the cause my Cupra's hesitation during acceleration - a leaking hose that goes from the T joint (with the PCV) to the underneath of the intake manifold.
I noticed 'stupots_1982' earlier post with similar issues - his hose layout is different to mine, but that's probably because his is an R.
I've looked into 'catch can' and like the idea of vapours being collected but I just want a quick fix for now, so I've ordered Creationsmotorsport hose & new breather valve.

Thanks mate. Was going to do that whilst changing the wipers but had no more energy left after taking the old ones off.
