Phillc's Mk1 Cupra...

Thats a bit of a shame but a LCR will help you with the hybrid plans alot better. As above you can pass on the bits or replace the ones on the LCR

 

[Phillc]

If you do get a LCR at least lots of the parts are transferable, you could even make yours a track day beast.
When the weather is really good will have to meet up with wayne and get some pics.
Also out of interest how much did your catch can install cost, thinking of doing mine

Yeah but i have to sell the Cupra to get the loan, not sure what to do if i have to part exchange i will strip all the bits i can and replace with stock stuff most of which i still have. but i should get more for it selling as it is.
The catch tanks about £25 and the pipe work probably came to about £30.

dude to de-activate the rain sensors stops the INT delay so i removed the sensor realy easy just prise it out slowly and blank of a few of the the IR LEDs which reduces the light reflected by the rain.

where did u get those projectors for the lights ?

 

[Phillc]

They are by ultra and come with the projectors.

Be careful of the projectors some need the holder drilling out if you are fitting HID bulbs, mine did, standard bulbs are fine.

that is true but its not a real problem it takes about 15 mins, i took mine apart but it can be done with the light intact.

 

[gazbrum]

where can i buy these projectors from ?

Right time for an up date, i have been busy for the last few weeks i have fitted my new Brembo's, i found my old RS4 alloys didn't fit over the calipers so bought some 10mm hubcentric spacers, but i been bitten by the idea for new alloys and after seeing some nice new copies of the R32 alloys i bought them, the guy selling them said they would not fit with the brembo's but when they where fitted they looked like they might but i left them for the time being as i had decided to lower it aswell so after looking at the options i went for the weitec 50mm springs so waited until i fitted them to check the wheel fit.
I also bought a cruise control kit and rear arb i have gone for the neuspeed 25mm, which i am still waiting to be delivered.
Well the wife has gone away for the week so i have taken advantage and decided to fit the cruise and the springs this weekend, the cruise was quite straight forward once i had got to grip with the instructions and took a few hours, once activated via vag-com it work's a treat.
I have now fitted the springs and am very happy with them they are not bouncy and go nicely with the LCR dampers and i think it is spot on height wise, and i am happy to say the wheels did fit over the Brembo's so no need for the spacers although i have left the rears on for the time being.
So just the rear arb to do when it arrives, stick the seat wheel centre's on and the R32 23mm front arb to save for

You got all the tools sorted for the interior strip?

[Phillc]

Yeah i have the tools, although most of the trim is clipped which will be APITA. not sure if i will be removing mine depends if i have time, just bought anew house completing on friday so the wife might be expecting me to be doing the DIY on that and not playing with the car her word not mine. but i will try we will need to be parked next to each other really.
