Had mine mapped recently..... Can't say I've noticed it slipping yet.
Though awesome did say use the rpm. And not flooring it in high gears
At slow speed ie..... booting at 20-30 in 4th 5th and 6th
I'm only ever flooring it in 2nd and 3rd at those speeds, I'm a boost junkie...
It's pretty annoying...
.....Ha yeah. The torque hit pretty addictive ..... all 311 lbft or 420nm in a little car makes for a good thrill....I wanna floor all the time but it dosent half guzzle through juice though when flooring it
My other car is an Evo so the Seat makes the MPGs look good
I love it because it can be a sleeper.
Ha. Yeah it's a twin personality kinda engine.
And Evo as in mitsu?
Yup, got an Evo 6 Tommi Makinen Edition if you know much about them
. The red and white one? .... Yeah I'm sure I've been in one many moon s ago. There pretty quick though I seem to remember they are not that quick in standard form, does the cupra keep with it at all? Probably not in the corners I assumeHaha nice
![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
The red and white is the standard colour, We've got it in blue. 1 owner from new with 12k miles on the clock, they're steadily rising in price!
It's 280bhp (supposedly, standard), getting a 0-60 time of around 4.3-4.6 seconds. Whereas, my Cupra at 250bhp is getting 5.5ish...
This one's been remapped (and that's the only thing we've done from OEM) to 340bhp, gets times around 3.9-4.1 secs to 60mph.
But no, the Cupra gets completely sharted on! The only time you think "wow, am I gonna do it?" is the initial turbo lag you get with the Evo, but as soon as that boost kicks in it's 'sayonara,' as the Japs say.
.... what mpg does evo get?
Ha. Well it's always gonna get good times of the line being 4Wd. But I guess been mapped thats over nearly 100hp more. I bet cupra would beat a standard one rolling. As it has to push more drive train and a heavier shell I would of thought
I'm gonna test it rolling one day in the spring, the evo is a garage queen and only comes out in dry weather
The Evo actually only weighs 100kg more or something, it's an animal!
It probably gets about 18-23 mpg if you drive totally normally - but when I have it out, I don't drive it normally... so probably about 8
.... I would of thought it would weigh more than 1250kg I mean ibiza is only 1100kg-50 I think. 8mpg though haha Christ I'd be crying .... I'm sure it's good fun though. You think that would keep up with the new audi rs3 or rstt?Nice.... ha at garage queen
Well, my Ibiza's 1260kg I think? The Evo is 1310kg.
Funny you should ask that about the RS3, I have a friend with a '16 reg RS3 with the Audi Sport Exhaust... sounds lovely.
We raced, I had 3 of us in the car weighing about 240kg in total vs. just him (he's a skinny guy, maybe 60kg)! He was about 1/2 a wheel in front of me so I think if it had just been me it would be a different story.
One thing that smashed the RS3 though was - despite the RS3 being 4WD - the Evo ruined it on the corners/roundabouts. - Best race I've ever had.
It amazes me to think a 17 year old car is tearing up basically everything on the real world roads
Are the ibiza cupra 1.8tsi really that heavy?..... and I'm amazed you got any where near the new rs3 with 400hp and that trick gearbox. They say new rs3 or Rs tt is quicker than the mk1 r8s
