[speters2001]

Well a year after selling my last mk3 cupra I had to get another one

sold this

had no love for this whatsoever

Now on my 3rd

my new one

Spec when I bought it

red cupra half leathers
drivers stubby mirror
lowered 40mm on apex springs
wheels and bump strips painted in audi battleship grey
Jetex cat back exhaust
Forge 007p
rear upper strut brace
front upper strut brace

Spec now

red cupra half leathers
drivers stubby mirror
lowered 40mm on apex springs
wheels and bump strips painted in audi battleship grey
Jetex cat back exhaust
Forge 007p
rear upper strut brace
front upper strut brace
front lower strut brace
drilled and grooved mtec discs all round with mintex pads
brand new Yokohama s drives on front

Plans for next couple of months

Changing timing belt and water pump
buy some coilovers
service

After picking the car up it needed 2 new tires new discs and pads all round

also bought lower front strut brace to complete the set

Just bought some Porsche d90's 16x8J and 16x9J with 4x100 adapters for £350

They will not be going on the car until I have coilovers but had to snap them up at that price

Looks tidy mate

That is lovely mate. Prefer the standard wheels though.

 

[speters2001]

Well the d90's aren't going on until they are refurbed, going a shade lighter than the standard wheels atm

 

[minnnt]

May look better then.

I agree with you about the fab, they have never done anything for me either.

update!!

small update car had full service,this was old timing belt hmy:

think this was the problem

also needed to change the dipstick as someone had replaced it with crappy silicon hose

sold the d90's

car is now running stage revo and just ordered coilovers test fitting some 16x8 rota grid drifts when the coilovers are on

 

[Stuieuieuieo]

how much did your d90s go for? got a set on mine that i dont really like and looking to try and get rid but dont have anything to put the car on until i have new wheels was thinking oz superleggeras or superturismos for it

 

[speters2001]

Sold them for £425. They needed a refurb and 2 tires ideally

 

[Stuieuieuieo]

that's quite a lot where did you sell them? i assume that was with adaptors?

 

[speters2001]

Sold them on eBay and yes they had adapters

 

[Stuieuieuieo]

nice one, car looks ace

 

[speters2001]

so basically some progress finally

momo team 280 bought from a friend quite a difference from the original wheel



got bored one day cleaning the car and decided to de-wiper it



had the coilovers sat there for a while waiting for some free time so started taking the old suspension off



new top mounts



new vs old



old wheels all tires were shagged





new wheels oz ultraleggera 17's ignore the rust bubbles



and then this is how it currently sits arches need to be rolled

I like!!

Very lucky with that timing belt. Cant believe the differnce in size of the steering wheels!!

rolled the front arches before krispy kreme meet in bristol as the scrubbing was unbearable

one on the way home



and then this one

By the looks of the front bumper it had splitter on before.... One of the things I like about running 17's is it still has nice ground clearance so doesn't catch much
