[Fl@pper]

flapper ive got a question for you regarding welding but i shall ask you via my caddy thread! if thats ok?

crezz mate. ur lucky to live in woolacombe.icome down every month and stay the woolacombe bay holiday park.thinking ofmoving down there but theres nowhere towork is there?

 

[crezz]

i know the sites very well mate.. how come you come down every month?? what are you looking for full time or part time work? what about finding a property?

Also had that out of my old 16v downhill with a bit of a tail wind, maybe cordys are just quicker

What kind of RPM is the car hitting at 120? mine was maxed out when doing 150!

At that speed im in 4th gear and its doing over 5000rpm if i remember right...if i put it in 5th it slows down again. I wouldnt start this week and needed a new coil pack which doesnt arive til monday, im wondering if its anx better when i get it back lol

 

[KIWI16V]

I got over taken by a damn diesel mondeo and could'nt catch him until he hit a red light. Mine certainly ain't quick. Think I will give it to a mechanic to see if the timing is out. Runs and drives smooth enough though just not much power to be had.

 

[BrownCupra]

Wel I get mine back tonite its had a new coil pack because it wouldnt start a new sump because someone had bodged some gash patches on the old one and a new timing belt.

I hope the old gal goes a bit better this time, if not I think its going to have to be a rolling road session which sound expensive

I serviced my cupra 2.0 16v and the other night on a pvt road played with a 325i BMW, gave him stick though all the gears. mine is purring like a kitten.

 

[projectgingawar]

just re-answering the origional question (my last post refferred to my old 8v), my new 16v managed a very easy 125mph and was still pulling well in 4th. got a bit unstable then!(knackered rear dampers...gets a bit bouncey/wandery!)
