depends how you drive it really mate, with a map and no handling mods to accompany youll lose precioud milliseconds via wheelspin etc.
somewhere 6 secs-6.5 secs should be right for 210bhp providing you get traction off the line.

hmm. not sure if I have an issue with my cupra. It won't wheel spin at all just jumps up/down why is this ?
I.e put my foot down to much and it goes bang/bang and jumps like a rabbit till I ease off. I have tried this with TC off and its still the same.
Any ideas
Sry to high jack the thread with my question ill make a new 1 if no one has any ideas

Pass on that mate is the tc warning light comming on when you switch it off, can you tell me how to start a new thread as I can't for the life of me find out how it's done
If the remapped LC180 puts out about 220lb/ft of torque then that would explain why its quicker than the standard LCR210 because that only has 199lb/ft.
The banging/jumping that the car does when you boot it from the line can be cured by replacing the front dogbone bushes - I'm sure there's heaps of info on here under the search options...
The traction control light will come on if the tyres break contact with the road surface IMO so I think the bush upgrade is the way to go for modified cars.

Interesting that a Cupra 180 remapped to circa 210bhp is quicker than a LCR210?
What torque figures do they claim for the stage 1 remap on the 180?

Put it this way my 180 pulls away from a standard LCR
255lbft on mine

I raise you 1lbft and 36hp
205 seems low for the mods you have?

It's called wheel hop and it's caused by the engine moving under acceleration. You need to upgrade your engine mounts for stiffer ones. I suggest trying the gearbox mount first, try here:
http://www.thsperformance.co.uk/cat...ems/1997_2004__MK4_Plateform_VAG_Cars_,i.html
all the power going to the front wheels, coupled with the twisting force causes the wheel to scrabble for grip, and bounce.
the uprated mounts are stiffer so less twisting action from the engine, hence less bounce.

Sounds good mate, but lets be honest - yours has a little more than just a remap

Really?
Exhaust isnt full system (yet) so wont make much difference... rest of stuff just make the car run better rather than more power
IMHO it should be running another 10-15bhp minimum but it was too warm when RR'd last time.
But I'm happy with the torque figure!
