Well i've owned the car for just under 2 months now so i thought i'd best put up some pics. More will follow and i'll keep updating the spec list.

Hi guys, thought it was about time i posted some pics of my cupra. I bought it in a bit of a sorry state and have put a bit of cash into it, new brakes all round etc and am currently doing the engine. Got some 6000k HID's on the way for it and did a bit of headlight correction today...

seems like i have a problem with my boost at the minute if i put my foot down it will get to 14psi but then drops down to 10psi as revs go up its revo stage one, cone filter, dv, exhaust, n249 etc etc is this an N75 valve symptom? or any otheer things? i have checked most of the...

Hi All Thought I would finally put a thread up about my car :) Its a 2005 55reg LCR, bought it on 1st march 08 with 10600 miles on the clock. Its now done 23,500. Last time it was on the rolling road, it only hit 238bhp (220 at the wheel) and 260lbs, however the guy was convinced there...

Right. So now after thing about it i have started to change some bits on the car. Bought the car back in April, going from a diesel ford focus estate (which was cool) I decided i need a car then is good on fuel, fast and cheap to buy. This was the only thing that came close to my...

Well where do i begin, my name is James, i'm 28 years old and i work as a design engineer in Colchester. I joined this forum in anticipation of buying a LCR. After owning an E36 BMW for a couple of years i appreciate the technical information at your disposal when you're a member of a good...

Hi all Been a member for a while, and there's a few pics dotted around the forums, so I thought it was about time they were all in one thread. Not too many Mk1 LC/LCRs in Jersey, and I've never seen another ovni one, so maybe I am "highlander".......:lol: Mods so far Interior Alpine...

Since i've been a member for a while i thought it was time to start a readers rides thread. no clean pictures at the min as i need to get them off my old laptop. So, having grown unbelievably sick of my 206 Quicksilver i started looking for something new. Have always liked the look of the...

took some updated pics and a video today.... last week I had a blueflame cat back exhaust fitted which I got off ebay for £285 delivered. Must say, well impressed with the look and sound of it, not too loud when pottering around but when you put your foot down it gives off a nice roar. Had to...

Hey peeps, well i've moved away from the VAG scene altogether, decided rather than spanking 2k on engine work on the Ibiza (that id never see again) I'd go for something slightly more 'sensible'. I imagine its not to everyones taste but here's some pics: (comments welcome either way)...

Hi! I checked my "may'be" faulty MAP today, took the ECU apart and concluded that is wasnt other chip or any welds at all. So must be purely OBD. So my plan is to take the car to Seat to put back an original map. Is that possible at all? I assume I just can say I want the latest updates...

Onto my second Cupra now, I must be mad :D Bough this after the Cupra Was a gorgeous car, but I needed some fun again and for the mpg it did I could have had something much faster. So up for sale it went, was looking for a swap for either a LCR or another Cupra. A month down the line...

Will try and find time to do a propper write up. Well happy with the car but as always wanting more more more! :P Heres a couple of quick snaps..
