Your looking at exhaust system, manifolds, engine mounts, intercooler, oil coolers, tyres, suspension, brakes, possibly bigger wheels for brakes, piping, intake, lots off mapping.......
I'm 19, pay £1400 for my ibiza sport tdi 130, for a cupra 1.8t its £1500 insurance....get the cupra lol or at least get some better quotes :O

I take it you never bothered reading the thread?

'If' he went hybrid, he wouldnt need manifolds, engine mounts, intercooler, oil cooler, tyres, suspension, brakes, bigger wheels, piping, intake or lots of mapping.

So you done good on getting exhaust

Tbh I didn't see there was a second page!
But I think its a bit silly not doing any of that with a Hybrid.
I can hardly stop with my 130 brakes as it is, already snapped an engine mount, turbo overheats ect ect....
So you dont NEED its but its stupid not to.....please don't tell me you disagree =/


Forgot to add clutch too, my car happens to be in the garage today having an uprated clutch and flywheel fitted!

He doesn;t have a 130 though. He has a Cupra.

but its a Cupra, it comes with 4 pots as standard so why would he change the brakes? or Intercooler as they are rated to 350BHP or similar. Why would he change wheels either??

Sorry guys! did not see that its a Cupra....someone show me the door?

Thanks again for all the advice here, I'm now armed with a lot more knowledge. Just need to wait for a letter from lawyers to release the money to me, should be mid feb to early march
