performance

Ive noticed when my 1.6 warms up it looses power :( when cold it pulls hard in fifth gear, but when it warms up it just struggles to accelerate. and in lower gears it doesnt build revs as quickley. Anyone know what my problem could be?? cheers.

Is there really any gainable difference in fitting a K&N etc air filter on the 2.0 SX ABF? Tempted to replace/modify the factory box on occasion as its a bulky beast. Other than affecting the sound of the engine?

Has anyone used these guys for work on your cars?? Im thinking about getting a revo stage 1 and a milltek exhaust fitted to my cupra and wondered if it's a good idea? and if these guys are any good? thanks

Hi, I have a 2005 Ibiza FR with Revo software. In dyno it showed 218 hp and 340Nm. After that I have installed Forge TIP and a better breathing aif filter. Now I'm thinking about getting a better N75 valve. Either N75J or H. The original part number should be 1K0906627D. I have tried...

Does anyone know or feel any benefits of the aero kit of the standard leon fr, is it just for aesthetics or is there a performance gain? is there improved aero grip/downforce etc? are there any figures. thanx

I fitted some 19's at the weekend, and since then I've not been achieving as high an MPG than with the 18's fitted...is this normal? The rolling radius is only 1.55% difference, as the tyres have changed from 225/40/18 to 235/35/19. And I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but it feels...

I've seen pictures of cone air filters on cars on these forums, but not where I expected :S and none on 1.4s I don't think. My car: 1.4 SXE, S reg 98'. I removed my standard air filter from my 1.4 the other day, noticed no difference in sound, will it even make a difference in sound if I...

my lcr seems to go noticably slower in this hot weather. I know cars love the cold tho, just wish they were not so affected by it. Anyone else notice this?

will an FR 170 which has been dropped on eibach coilovers with 19" alloy wheels have a better performance than the standard car? i would have thought so because the car is going to be closer to the floor but i was recently corrected and told that my 19's are goin to make the car sluggish?? is...

Hi guys. My discs are at the point where they need changing. I just don't find the standard ones good enough, and want some drilled ones, to better handle heat. Problem is that i can't seem to find any? :confused: Brembo don't make discs for the cupra, and i haven't been able to...

At the moment my Cupra only has the usual mods of remap, bypass, air filter and exhaust. Looking to slowly work my way towards the K03s conversion, so wondered where was best to start accumilating the parts.. 225 injectors 3" MAF THS downpipe TIP What websites do you buy your bits...

Looking a getting a performance chip or module for my car anyone know of any decent ones to get that are competively priced and aint gunna muck ya car up.

I've been looking for an LCR for about a month now and its increasingly more difficult finding a low mileage example. I did test drive one a couple of weeks ago that did only 21K but I rejected it due to 3 owners (which was a bit suspicous being a 55 plate that done such low mileage) and the...

were does everyone purchase the performance parts exterior and interior

I'm hoping to get some advice as I have searched and searched for hours on here and still can't decide what mods are best to do next. So far I have done: Revo stage 1, Forge 007p, smoothed airbox, Green cotton panel filter, Forge TIP, N249 bypass and some GY asymmetrics all round...the usual...

Really enjoying Cupra ownership 3 weeks in, a couple of things in the pipeline and a couple of associated questions. Going for a remap tomorrow, custom-code generic phase 1. Do you reckon I'm as well going with a performance panel filter whilst I'm at it, does it make much performance...

Hi Chaps I am having trouble with my leon 2001 110PS TDi. The engine seems low on power and struggles to pull through the rev range. I have put vag com on and the engine seems to be getting boost and the MAF seems sensible. There is no black smoke so I am thinking that the engine may be...

as above really, looking for a 2.0 16v ibiza gti but theres a nice cordy 2.0 16v, will these be much slower? bit more heavy? cheers

Hi, Does anyone have any information or advice on performance clutches for the Cupras? Miltek,Forge Filter,Forge Intercooler,Forge Diverter Valve<Fuel Pump and Revo Stage 2+ remap has brought it up to 360bhp. Clutch is not happy!
