Mikey's rs3 stage 2 and 1.2's fitted Cupra 280 with bucket seats

I'm with you there mate. Very easy car to drive fast, and coming from a 4WD Evo the grip this thing has is astounding! Very glad I bought it!
This would have pumped my old evo dry mate. Purely because it can do 100 miles right on it, where as the Evo would have needed the AA after about 15 miles
In all seriousness though, the only place this loses out to my modified Evo, is from a standing start and out of corners in the pouring rain. In every other aspect, this is better.
The Cupra would have mauled my standard Evo from 30-130. I may go measure this one sometime, as I've got a time for the Evo.

Lol
Did you manage to measure this as yet mate
Not been on here for a bit just a little update on both cars the Cupra now has a vwr intake fitted also a dtuk tuning box for warr purposes for ease of taking off.
This has made a massive difference to the power of the car.
And the old rs4 is away to get a set of 20 inch rotors fitted tomorrow will post pics of both cars later

Great read Mike, also you got the Mk3 in the best colour if/when I upgrade dynamic grey would be my choice

Thanks mate.
Yeah the missus wasn't to keen on the colour to start with but she's came round
What are the bucket seats like compared to the standards items when getting a move on or on track?
The standard ones are rubbish for lateral support. I would like to retro fit the bucket seats if possible if they're up to the job.
I have no aspirations to fit a cage or harnesses so the fact the don't have cut outs are fine.

Ha ha always good to keep them onboard
Yeah this is true but if it also were the case then my Rs wouldn't be as loud
The bucket seats are much better than standard they have a lot more support it's also the same seat that was fitted in the 280 that done the sub 8 lap of the Nurburgring
Happy days, guess you can't please em all the time
Getting my BCS turbo back fitted tomorrow and my Mrs is already giving me grief
Will put some pics up on my readers ride thread tomorrow mate if you fancy a look.
