What did you and your MK2 do today?

[betty_swollox]

Paid my insurance renewal with Greenlight £480, that's £200 cheaper than I paid last year.

50mm front, 35mm rear mate

It won't be that though. That on standard suspension. You have to take into consideration that the FR is lower and the cupra is alower than that. So the drop will be less.

Yeh sorry forgot to say those figures are from standard, not actually sure exactly what the drop will be but I'll measure before and after might make a thread if anyone is interested in how to do it yourself.

I'm busy trying to decide which suspension to go with. H&R's or Eibach. Would be good to see before and after results on yours and your opinion on the setup once it's settled.

I'm possibly way off here and maybe covered elsewhere, but arent DPF deletes actually:
1. An offence
2. MOT fail under new rules
3. Detrimental to everyones health
4. Detrimental to the environment
5. Invalidate your insurance

Actually DPF's break down the particles into such small structures that our lungs cannot break them down properly, and has caused an increase in lung cancer in people who are exposed to these gases regularly.

But inhaling the full on de-dpf soot particles with nothing at all catalysed out is much much worse. So really it's a non-argument. All of the above about de-dpf is true, and frankly I felt quite guilty after we did ours. And I'm glad I'm no longer doing the diesel thing

 

[olitaylor07]

You felt guilty for chopping your DPF out??

Haha give over.

Patrick is a sensitive soul

 

[Crafoo]

Not guilty enough to replace it though obviously

Haha. We did with a fuel burning R haha.

Not feeling that guilty

But I've driven behind some obviously de-dpf'd cars and it's really not nice

Just finished fitting my sportlines so far I've got a noticeable drop of about 20mm. Over the weekend hopefully they will settle more and I'll get the stance I was after

I'm getting H&R's fitted today. Hopefully post some photos tomorrow.

Yeh they look about the same mate, next step is getting some 18's!

 

[olitaylor07]

I think that but the cost of alloys, and tyres I rather keep it for something else. It's not like I have 18's already and it would only be the alloys I need.

Decent tyres alone would be £350

Exactly my problem mate, need to try and find a decent used set inc tyres on eBay and get them refurbed. Thinking of getting my 17's sprayed black at the moment though to tie me over until I can afford 18's

 

[olitaylor07]

Keep an eye on here as somebody was selling standard 18" cupra alloys the other day.

 

[Minty9]

They sold mate, wheels only I literally check eBay every day for a set lol quite fancy Ibera's or cupra 18's
