What did you and your MK2 do today?

[bigbadjay]

Redeemed my xmas present, a supercar experience

Drove a white lamborghini gallardo lp560-4 and a grey nissan GTR. Safe to say im feeling quite epic, I overtook everything! I almost cried

It's only the mk2 Cupra R that's looks alot different.

Yeah, you get three hideous nostrils, bigger wheels that ruin the ride and a different exhaust

Also while washing my dads car I had a chance to look round the mk3 properly. You can tell the difference in quality/sound proofing compared to the mk2. More rubber around the doors for a start off. Also doors fell heavier and more reinforced.

Impressed with it.

Had the new leon as a courtesy car. Sounds solid but the road noise was just as bad. Really liked the stereo though

 

[olitaylor07]

Hmm that's not good. Yeah the stereo set up is good. Speakers are a lot better than the mk2

Well I had my car remapped (PD 170). It didn't go on the RR, but I'm not as "wowed" as I thought I would be. All I really notice is that it's more responsive on lower revs and seems to kick in a bit earlier. Torque wise I don't notice anything different, and when I get just above 3K revs in 3rd/4th the car seems to lose power for a second, then comes back on which is really annoying me (might be DPF related?)... not sure what to do.

Might be worth getting a RR done. Because awesome keep the DPF in I imagine it's not pushed as far as it could be to try and aboid DPF related issues

Indeed. And then take it for a test drive hooked up to vagcom. Monitor values for rpm x requested boost x actual boost wrt the drop in 3rd/4th. It actually happens in all gears but you notice it most then.
You'll probably see requested boost peak and then actual boost drop to a flat level for a while.
I had the same issue. Needs a remap to fix.

How easy/difficult is it to remove the grey panel the rear plate is on? Thinking of getting it off and glass black wrapping it. Anyone else done it?

I didn't think the rear valance could be wrapped due to it been textured. Thought the surface had to be smooth.

I think you'd have to get sand paper and smooth it down, takes a while to do, and then you can wrap it..

 

[olitaylor07]

Just spray it mate. Saves a lot of time.

Yeah I think I'll have to... just feels like it's struggling

Attempted and failed to put my Eibachs on, stupid, idiotic, ridiculous, dumb ass drop links proved to be too awkward. Think I'm going to buy some drop links and replace what's on the car now, the way i end up taking them off will mean they can't go back on lol.

Told you they where a pain. What was the problem? We had to take one side off at the bottom and the other side at the top lol.

Just couldn't get the thing undone with tools we had, the whole thing kept spinning round

There is an allen key slot at the end of the bolt you know?

I do indeed but a couple of tries ended up with it rounding off, heard it's a common problem when taking them off.
