[ryan_s3]

looks a cracking car mate!Well done.

 

[ian_cupra]

thanx its taken some time to get it to where it is, but well worth it

 

[ian_cupra]

right, will be updating on saturday, with a full interior strip out just for pod on sunday depending on how i feel will depend on how much i remove

 

[antnee]

I was thinking about doing mine, but then thought I would only end up taking my rear seats out so wouldn't be worth it.

 

[rich.h44]

thought it was already striped?what more you going to take out?got any new seats yet?

 

[ian_cupra]

its a daily drive mate, seats are always in, except trackdays etc..

no new seats yet

 

[R1ch85]

Well I got my car back today, JBS04 turbo and all the trimmings except manifold and its great! except as I got near home the boost was all over the place and it was kicking blue smoke out the exhaust Its such a pain living so far away!

 

[ian_cupra]

doesnt sound good mate, you ringing them today? or you already rang?

 

[rich.h44]

do i dare ask your MPG as a daily driver?its nearly a full on track car! or teetering on a track car!

 

[ian_cupra]

get about 34 mpg average really, which isnt bad

 

[rich.h44]

how th f*** u get that?i dont evan get 30mpg

 

[ian_cupra]

just normal driving, with the odd burst here and there

 

[R1ch85]

I just rang them, and they want to see the car to see whats wrong which is the only way really. Trouble is, I can't drive it up there like that, and I can't afford to have it sent either. Been a crap start to the year.. first my car goes wrong, then I lost my job, and now I thought I had my car sorted thats gone wrong again!

On the plus side, I got 44mpg on the trip home. Normal driving with the odd burst

 

[ian_cupra]

is that what your computer said?? did you have bigger injectors fitted?

 

[R1ch85]

is that what your computer said?? did you have bigger injectors fitted?

yeh, thats what the trip comp said. I've had TT injectors fitted so i'm guessing its probably an innaccurate figure. But it looks good on my dash and sounds good in my head!

 

[ian_cupra]

very inaccurate, mine says 54.3 at the min, and thats only about 38mpg so your 44 mpg aint so good now is it

Shhh! Like I said, it sounds good in my head If/when i get the problems sorted I'll see how many miles I get out of a full tank. Hopefully the fuel gauge is still accurate cos I'm currently on the red line!

 

[ian_cupra]

well the car once again impressed me, managed a 13.16 @ 110.8 at pod today

 

[lm_gauci]

Pretty impressive time that. Aiming for 12's with the new manifold then?

 

[ian_cupra]

yup, and a diff

now 12's are silly fast
