[drka-drka]

Same here mate, loads of new Cupra.net people too meet. Your car is oh so very sexy i have to say, will be good once you get your toys on it.

I def want a ride in willies LCR but i very much dout it will change my mind that much. Im kinda settled on my plans, and i think i did wonders with my show 106 so i know i can pull it off. Im a euro/clean look kid at heart

Iv got the interior from a mk2 golf to play with, not quite like the cupra but it's a start! If your going to the meet tomorrow can have a chat about yours there. x

Thanks for the comment mate

Got couple little updates, no pics tho

Just bought a hughes rear stut brace that should be arriving in the next few days. always fancied one so treated myself.

And to keep george happy i went down to Custom Craft near me and asked about getting my exhaust sorted so it sits better in the bumper, that should be getting done in the next couple weeks. Maybe some more toys this month then next month start on the bodywork

Hughes rear stut brace.... talk to me! You got a link for it please bud? Im compiling a shopping list of handling mods and this is the only one i dont have any information for. what sort of money are they?

I'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on it once fitted!

Cleaned up the 1st post so it makes my blog much nicer i think. Got a couple of updates but cant seem to upload pics...so have to wait

Also......having dirty thoughts about airbags....instead of coilovers

 

[Willie]

The problem with going VERY low on our set up is the rear wheel comes forward and looks SHITE

This would only be accentuated by the lower drop, even -35mm suffers from this.

 

[Al]

Don't do it! Proper coilovers, subtle drop.

 

[drka-drka]

Iv noticed the rear wheel come forward on really low drops, does look crap.

I wouldnt have it that low all the time or for shows as i agree it looks crap.

I want to go low either on coilovers or air. Main advantage with air is that i can have it as low as i like so it suits the wheels and stance i want, but i can raise it for bumps and the roads around where i stay which are crap. Main thing im scared about is handling like a boat.........but iv heard that it aint that bad unless ur a hard track driver, which im not i dont even drive that fast.

But coilovers i think would take away that fear of it handling crap...but i dont even know if they will be very effective at a lower height.

 

[KatCowie]

I would go coilovers personally, but I do agree that air would come in handy in this area. And for shows I think air is the way to go!

Ps. Al I like your profile pic hehe

 

[drka-drka]

I wouldnt be looking at getting anything done coilovers or air untill start of next. If i do go air will be bagyards kit which is a pretty good bit of kit

 

[drka-drka]

i love airbags, euro, low and slow

An actual update not my mate writting silly things.

Managed to pick this up from a local guy who was gonna chuck it out

New tyres yoko parada spec 2s

Oh and im also looking at a k04 set up on a local forum, that i may end up buying...really tempted as its local and pretty cheap i think, it includes everything. Advise please

Nice bootliner, should keep things tidy/clean in there.

K04 setup? Your LCR already has a K04 mate, unless you mean for someone else's car?

 

[kevlaa]

I thought that they ran k03s or is that just the 180 bhp cupras, and golfs?

Yeah im chuffed with the boot linner stops all the crap sticking to my boot carpet

No, the LCR has a K04-023 as standard, the LC has the K03S, at least the later ones did, think the earlier ones and the Leon 20VT had the K03. If you want a turbo upgrade you're looking at either a big turbo kit using something like a Garrett or IHI unit, or you could get your K04 turned into hybrid (basically upgrading internal components within the turbo). Hybrid route is typically cheaper but usually more complex to get right, check paul-murphys and rsmith's RR threads, they're both doing hybrids just now.

If you could get hold of just the K04-023 you could get that "hybrid-ized", that way you'd still have your current turbo to put back on if you decided to go back to standard and sell on, that's probably what I'll do if/when I get as far as doing a hybrid conversion.
