My Mk4 Cupra Now Sold

[vroomtshh]

Once you get back, come to mine and we'll race round the big roundabout at my bit. That's what I did when I got my diff
And I'm quite interested to see how my car compares to a stage two petrol

 

[Hartosh1]

Well just about to leave for my 355mile trip to Northampton if you see me give us a flash although ill probably be in zombie mode!

As if your setting off at this time you nutter! Any idea if you go on the a19 or the a1 mate? Will be a mint drive home!

Unlikely. He'll go down the M6 and across.

Can go the M1 but its longer

 

[Scott-o]

Wasn't sure which side of Scotland he was on, I'm guessing west now haha it's some drive that like

Yeh he's about as West as you get. Any more west and he'd be wet.
Northampton for me is about 450miles and hes got another 30 or so on that.
Last time I did that Drive, I had an engine in the passenger seat and 4 alloys in the back, in a Daihatsu charade with knackered suspension.
I think it might have been the longest drive of my life

 

[Hartosh1]

Just got back at 12 earlier good wee trip flapped about London though in the rain! Diff and clutch are ammense will update when i can stay awake

Went down the M6 not a bad drive but its straight roads so nothing exciting

 

[mazzerati]

LSD' are great. My fiesta had one, bit crazy when you used to get understeer cos when it gripped it through you across the road haha.

How much all together diff fitted and clutch then?

 

[Scott-o]

Shoulda popped across to the a1 and taken me for a spin in it! Bet it's great!

 

[Hartosh1]

I thought about it Scott but i was just so tired and had a bit of a hectic day getting lost a few times

All in it was £1600 but that includes quiafe diff which doesnt fit just so everyone knows i needed a new crown wheel which luckily Vince had one lying around from an old G60 as he does alot of gearbox work, VR6 Clutch, G60 flywheel bolts and bearings for the diff and labour. Expensive but i will make use of it next year as i plan to get a couple of track days done at Knockhill i hope.

Everybody yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, rock your bodyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Scott-o]

No worries, I understand, bet you were shattered! Goddamn you make me want a diff so bad lol

The best mod I've ever done... and a RARB

At least you where warned about the wrong diff..... But it feels very different around the corners now I bet. There's just loads of grip... Have you had a stage 2 map yet?

 

[Hartosh1]

Yeah im stage2 Ric, about the corners the grip is just unreal i was giving it death through roundabouts today and it just didnt want to let go! Point it in the direction you want to go and it goes there i dont think i can give it the credit its due you really need to drive one with a diff unreal........

 

[cupra.al]

oh christ another thing i didnt want to add to my list of things to buy,have you taken the car further than the diff can go if that makes sence?

 

[Hartosh1]

I did last night in the wet but really the diff is just as useless as tc in the wet had a rather tense understeer moment coming off a roundabout! Still had a little more to go today in the dry but was really busy so didnt want to do anything to daft.

Yeah just dont get a quiaffe diff they dont fit lol well unless you get a new crown wheel

 

[cupra.al]

do you use the traction control still? or do you leave it switched off.

 

[Hartosh1]

Just leave it switched off as it will try to interfere if its on not sure if thats good or bad!

Not sure wether to do hybrid route or go to a GT28 for next summer as im looking for more power to get the most out the car

 

[cupra.al]

for more benefits your better off going gt28 as you wont see much extra out of hybrid although the gt28 wont benefit your wallet much with all the supporting mods that go with it.
