cheers mate i'm not even finished yet, no where near [/QUOTE]

cool your not too far away from me eather are you keeping the looks the same

 

[ian_cupra]

looks stayin the same, may have a carbon bonnet

 

[jay26]

cool how much are they as mine needs painting (from stone chips)

 

[ian_cupra]

right, well the inevitable has happened, STANDARD clutch is slipping now (about time), only when put foot down.

so its time to buy new one that can more than cope with the hybrid, few options i'm looking at but more than likely going to be getting helix 6 paddle clutch and single mass flywheel

 

[jay26]

nice think you will benifit from it as car sounds like a monster iv been readin this over and over and this is how i want mine jus will be done bit by bit lol. was ther benifit in removeing aircon other than gettin rid of the mess under the bonnet

 

[ian_cupra]

weight saving really, plus it was broken anyway

 

[jay26]

was it a pain to dosorry if im pestering you (feel like young grass hopper learning the ways of the cupra )

 

[ian_cupra]

depends really, i had the front end off when i did it, if you dont want to keep it just cut it out

 

[L31GH C]

[ian_cupra]

cheers mate

 

[jay26]

hope you dont mind but i kind of use'd ur enginebay theamas i loved the red/black its in my thred lol if you want to see it

 

[Spud_G40]

Very impressive 1/4 mile time considering the power output at the moment mate!

If I get a time like that soon I will be chuffed. Prob an extra 50bhp on you aswell atm, still got full interior though.

 

[ian_cupra]

jay - haha, looks good

spud - thanks, hopefully when i'm on full power i will be 30-40 more horses, and be in the 12's

You going to go for TOTB this year? Should get Hooch on it too

 

[ian_cupra]

na, it wont be ready this year, plus i'll never be quick enough for TOTB

 

[antnee]

Well if you get into 12's with the new mani. Bit more weightloss, some drag wheels/tyres, should see another few tenths off

 

[ian_cupra]

still dont think it would be quick enough for TOTB
