Difference between Ibiza FR and Cupra?

[waitsey]

Hey All,

I have just got a "Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.8 T 07"

I Only got it a couple of days ago. When i was in the Seat garage, i asked what the difference was between a "Ibiza FR & a Cupra" and the young lad didt really have a clue :S
Could anyone help?


Many Thanks
Waitsey

Haha how can you not know what the difference is when you're selling the cars!! The FR is cheaper so how could you pursuade someone to get the cupra and not the FR!? Not too sure about the petrol but with the Diesel it's got a Front Mounted Intercooler instead of a one at the side, bigger brakes, bigger turbo (I think)... Might be it, maybe different injectors...

I was the buyer not the seller lol i was asking the lad who was selling me the cupra. So the cupra is alot better then.

Yea, the cupra is a lot better. It has larger brakes (312mm discs & AP racing 4 pot calipers), stiffer ans lower suspension and harder suspension bushes, large front mount intercooler, 30bhp more, better interior, bigger wheels.

No problem.

I didn't even mention the more agressive front and rear bumper either.

Both petrol and diesel have the bigger brakes

 

[Damoegan]

yea, the only differance between petrol & diesel cupra is the fuel you put in them. The as racing calirers are expensive minde, but you can fit 312mm single pot brakes from an audi tt.

main difference that stopped me buying the insurance groups, try some quotes online before you buy!

The reason a sales person doesnt need to know the difference is as above. They didnt know the difference and neither did you, yet you still bought the Cupra

Nice car all the same

Both petrol and diesel have the bigger brakes

I know they both have bigger brakes but I would like to know about the 4 pod callipers.... those ones I`m interested in... because I have a remap at the moment (about 195-200 bhp) and I can feal the brakes fading.... and when the new mods arive I will definatly need the big ones....

P.S. scuze my english... is a bit rusty....

Lol I wasn't having a go at you. I was saying that the guy selling it to you should know the difference
