Ceejay's new toy. Speed Blue Cupra.

You need some revo in your life now

It's very tempting . I know SEAT state the cupra is 240BHP standard but I've read on a revo link that most rolling roads on a standard cupra normally produce 255 BHP.. Any truth to this?

Looks great... I'm sure you will love it as much as I have mine

Cupras do normally RR at about 250-260bhp

Mine when standard was 262bhp, al's was 261bhp and his first "Bess" was 257bhp I believe

Lovely jubly!!! hopefully that is the case with my cupra!

Thanks for the info. Probably wait until I get a remap to test it unless there's a group RR day on here....

It's good to get a before and after! Also helps determine if its a health car it not. Enjoy

Blue car and white wheels look great!

Revo and lowering springs are a must now, you will be happy

I had lowering springs ( KONI ) on my golf and the ride was ok but it knackered the shocks. Then fitted coilovers but couldn't get over speed bumps and the ride was very harsh. That doesn't bother me but I'd rather avoid destroying parts of the car again, is this the case with my 2011 Cupra?

 

[dav]

Just because Coilovers doesn't mean you have to put it on the last thread mine sits quite low and scrapes fully loaded over speed bumps. A few mm higher and it would be solved but I'm normally alone in the car

I'll be honest, you've lost me lol

... Was your splitter easy to fit? No excess drilling etc?

[dav]

I was meaning, just because you had coilovers you don't have to wind them right down...

Splitter was ok, I got a pre drilled splitter but had to drill the bumper. Cut hands doing it on place but it was worth it

 

[CJcupra]

Oh jeez! How did I not get that ha.. I know what your saying ( eventually ) but I think they were generally harsh coils.

Cheers for the Facebook info too, i may consider this down the line

Wheels look mint white! Speed Blue is the best out there too

lovely looking beast! if i didn't buy a bocanegra this is the colour of ibiza cupra i would have chosen. looks great with the white wheels too

 

[CJcupra]

That's one nice looking Bocanegra! I looked at one of these before I got the Cupra.

cheers!

would've loved a leon cupra, just a bit out of my limits insurance wise

 

[CJcupra]

I thought it would be out of mine too being 22 but got the insurance for under 800.

 

[ayacoub92]

haha i'm only 20, had a mk4 ibiza fr 1.8t before my boc, paid 1300 a year to insure. can't complain at £550 a year for my bocanegra though

 

[CJcupra]

Ah ok a few more years then lol. That price is good! Nice Car dude.

 

[CJcupra]

Not much going on as its snowed since ive got the car but here's a cheeky pic at work.

 

[CJcupra]

So as it was sunny today i decided to treat my pride and joy to some TLC ( no, not the girlfriend ).

Gave it a good wash using my new citrus wash i purchased - great stuff! Also spent a while giving the rims a thorough clean without taking them off.

Added some blue dice dust caps and a sticker to the rear window - Pics below.

I've got the sc.net stickers to go on just not sure where yet.....

Those white alloys are stunning! Easy to keep clean?
