looks like youve done a great job there buddy

 

[Novataken]

Looks well nice that does. Good effort mate

 

[AlpineWhite]

Nice work, what a transformation!

 

[robreidmotors]

Good work, must have nice Brake Camel Power now

 

[EnGbudd]

Looks mint, good job. Just goes to show what you can do with a pre facelift model ^^

p.s Should get yourself a 8v spoiler, would look even nicer!

 

[orangemuffin]

What a from then to now...It looks good mate.

Lovely work mate - bet you don't have the rust problems out there.
As said a gti spoiler and some skirts would finish the look (if you can get hold of them).
Are you running 17" rims?

thanx people for your comments
actually i'm running on 17" , and i hope i can find the side skirts and the rear spoiler

 

[sl1m1thy]

it is a huge difference good job mate and yer the 8v spoiler looks nice if you can find one also should colour code the spoiler gives it a much better stance should get a debadged grill in ther as well like

 

[AlpineWhite]

I think that having no skirts or spoiler actually looks quite good!

 

[sl1m1thy]

yer also a good point i think if thers no skirts or spoilers then its the same colour all the way down and it looks smoother as its not broken up with the car then the blackey gray plastic but it looks good with nothing or all in the same colour

 

[esso]

i guess so , but i was just wondering how much the skirt cost out there cause i cant find any
i'm thinking of shipping one from outside

What have you done to your gearbox then? Different box?

 

[esso]

its 020 box with 2Y coded ratio with clutch,flywheel,disk of golf 4 , its very nice gearbox , i used to kill M3 till 100km/h with this setup but with the 15" , i think the car around 175hp estimated cause the lake of dyno here , long time ago i did 5 sec in the 0-100

 

[Dave_R]

Have you got a 4-1 or 4-2-1 manifold? You running a cat and got a decat pipe instead? And the ECU is it just a silly like chip or you had a mapped for the car.

To get somewhere near that power figure you would need a full system with manifold and no cat (decat) and a non standard air filter.

 

[esso]

i got 4-2-1 manifold with stainless pipe 2 1/4" , no middle filter or cat , they all removed , and for the ECU i bought it the whole ECU already mapped but i cant know how was it mapped , i have also cold AIR Intake , and VR6 fuel pump with 4 FPR.

 

[Dave_R]

Going by my spec before I had the cams, I pulled 170.4bhp... but all engines are different, looking around that mark then!

Nice little motor there fait play!

 

[esso]

my recommendation to all users , if u wanna feel the cupra power go weight reduction , been there done that , really impressive how you gain power for just removing things + if you can do some aluminum light weighted in all pulleys u will feel up to 40% up not means gain HP but will increase the power to weight ratio

looks great well worth the effort you put in.
