My Mk4 Cupra Now Sold

Bushes need doing? Regular checks of the tracking and alignment I guess!

Especially after fitting coilovers!

No point getting a 4 wheel alignment done as there's no adjustment on the rears.

Agreed - although any decent garage will take the car in, and only charge you for adjusting the fronts. Think it's only toe and tracking that can be adjusted on the mk4 anyway.

Toe and tracking are the same thing

lol - good point - my excuse - I'm still in bed and half asleep

 

[Scott-o]

Haha

 

[rick cupra tdi]

grey cups are the way forward lookin nice mate thinking about painting my wheels grey

 

[Hartosh1]

Cheers mate i got the powder coated that anthracite last year and dont look back

After deciding to go down the hybrid k03s route i picked up some new LCR injectors along with an old K03 turbo my only worry about the turbo is theres 2 small cracks where turbo connects to the manifold i think you may be able to see them in the first picture

Any ideas if its ok?

 

[seanaldo1987]

not too sure about the cracks tbh mate
i have a very very small hairline crack on my turbo inlet housing too, found it when i had to replace my cracked exhaust manifold.
the company that does the hybrid conversion will be able to advise you on what can be done, if it can be repaired or not.

 

[Scott-o]

Don't think I would just for piece of mind. Like above though the specialist companies can tell you for sure! They just said to me that loads crack between the wastegate and exhaust wheel and ones that have cracked there are useless! Your as far on the road as me haha I'm stuck at this point!

Looks nice, i like grey, black and white. My Cupra is yellow and i'm actually glad i got it as it's made a nice change. Our lass has a grey 2008 Yaris and her previous Yaris T-Sport was grey too lol

When ya get a 4wheel alignment they don't adjust the rear, they use the rears to set the fronts straight which is why you should always have a 4wheel alignment

 

[Hartosh1]

Ill contact CR about it then and see what they say!

Thanks for the comment Dabbalz
