    Anyone got an OMP front lower steel brace installed?

    Through years of trial and error? Respond well on internet forums? Or through track testing with a G meter? I know the theory behind upper and lower braces, but the practice is a lot different. I don;t have experience of the 20vt engine in a Mk4, but in a TDi, i would quite happily say if...

    330 4pot brakes for Ibiza cupra

    have to say why would you need more than what the standard AP's are offering. The AP's are good but for sustained track use you do need to upgrade them. 4 thing you should consider - Firstly the discs - You could try some Nitracs as they cryogenic ones and they can make them to spec...

    Baby Seat Protectors

    We have had baby seats the last 2 years in a SEAT and VW and I can't tell where they have been? I'd be more worried about choosing a good Isofix seat and checking it's been tested for your car (so they don;t roll forward in a crash) or getting a 'top tether' for the car seat if it's not been...

    Too much torque and not much HP. Don`t like those figures
  8. Talk me out of it Mk 1 to Mk 2

    Don,t do it I had a cupra just like yours and i also had a test drive in the Ref Sport I agree the handling is a lot better and the power was not that much different.But trust me save your money like i did and get yourself a FR you will be much happier with it(sorry you guys with REF sports)I...

    Baby Seat Protectors

    Yes, I agree safety is the most important factor. I will be purchasing a ISOFIX compatable seat for the car and quite like the idea of a Recaro one for when the baby is older. Cheers Ricky
  11. Talk me out of it Mk 1 to Mk 2

    Its a fair comment - I bought my ref sport because I was trying to cut costs (low insurance, but still looks spot on with the btcc kit, and "similar" performance). You have to get the car to suit your needs...

    What's the best way to up the horsepower - 1.9 TDi FR (150bhp)?

    I know you where only messing mate :thumbup:. Don`t know what the 1/4 mile is to be honest. I should test it plus the usual 0-60mph rubbish but to be honest i just tune my car for me not to show or boost that it is faster/better then anyone elses car. A quick 1/4 mile time doesn`t mean it`s a...

    Talk me out of it Mk 1 to Mk 2

    Well I've got a Ref Sport, spent £500 on a remap and got myself 200BHP so I would't worry too much about lack of power. It's whether you like the bodykit or prefer the more subtle FR. I was never a big fan of the bodykit so would go with an FR or wait another year, save up and get a second hand...

    Devonmikeyboys latest dyno run. 263bhp and 440lb at the wheels !

    Hoping for 350 bhp with diesel/propane and 400 bhp with diesel/propane/NOS. Injectors are stock as i cannot find anybody who will make just one set of uprated injectors for me without wanting thousands of pounds to make a test rig and do the testing. I haven`t givern up trying to find somebody...

  16. CUPRA TDI - TWE / IAC- Upgraded at 12/04/2008

    Yes, it´s true. I don´t have any injection upgrade or reprofiled cam... Those hardware parts are OEM... The OEM injectors (with the right ECU Remap) are more than suficient... With this large turbo (seems bigger and produce more HP than a GT25v / VNT25), and runing with the 1.95bar that I have...

    westec rolling road day

    My car revs and makes 300 bhp up to 6k constantly at Interpro. I don`t think Westec know the difference between a 1.9 which dies after 5K and my 2.0 which keeps going right up to the 6K rev limiter. Don`t know what you mean there was loads of room? :whistle: He wanted to know how well the...
