[lexyy]

Love it! The yellow corrado in the pics plate doesnt happen to end in TAG does it?

 

[MATTCR]

love that very nice

 

[geo7087]

Haha yeah thats Tag... had a few issues with it but enjoyed it for some time, put a lot of work into it before it went onto a new owner in Newquay, had some engine issues when it went

 

[lexyy]

Thats. mad lol my mate bought it from boy in newquay im sure, spent a good bit of money on it like glass out respray etc and was going to get vr6d but ue got a good offer for it and sold it on! Stunning car would have been awesome with a bit more go!

Haven't updated this in a little while.

I had the wheel centres painted VW flash red

And to go with this i decided to get some red light tinting film for my tail lights, i'm actually really chuffed with the result

Excuse the **** picture.. wonky drive doesn't help. The rear badge is now black but i'm debating having it smoothed and fitting a boot popper.

And because i'm quite sad... get your colour coded shoes out haha!

Next plans is to fit slimmer tyres, lower the front coils (which are currently stuck... grrr) and remove the rear adjusters, then im taking it to Edition

 

[geo7087]

Ok so quite a healthy update since the last one

Had the following done since...

- 185/35 nankang NS2 stretched tyres fitted
- Colour coded front and rear badges
- Yellow filmed front fogs
- Black FMIC Silicone pipe
- Black 4mm Vac hoses for engine bay
- 1 Washer camber (about 1.5 negative degree)
- 20mm Hubscentric rear spacers re-fitted
- Coilovers fullow lowered front and adjusters and cups removed on rear (leaving spring only)
- Wheel centres re-painted in White
- Valve caps replaced with chrome dice)

Only have a few pictures unfortunately, will be getting more once further updates happen (see below)

During Camber adjustment

End result of Camber (can also see stretch and spacer fitment)

Yellow fog and Black FMIC hose

Wheel re-furb in White

As mentioned above im currently undergoing more work, starting to focus on inteior and engine bay, so currently in progress are

- Momo Team 280mm Steering Wheel (just waiting for boss in the post)
- Secondary air system delete to tidy engine bay (waiting on resistors and forge plate in post)
- Coolant and Washer caps colour coded in Black (currently drying)
- TT Pedals (brake and clutch fitted, accelerator to be purchased)
- 5mm Spacers on back to push rears out a tiny bit (still to purchase)

Will get more pictures soon of the overall car and new modifications, let me know your throughts

Car is looking good mate im a fan of the wheels aye thats my mates old corrado in that picture was suppose to get VR'd but he sold up in the end was taken care of!

Nice car mate, what Turbo does this have K04? that got you the 244bh/300ft? Awesome, must be fun in that.

 

[geo7087]

K03s mate

Debated the Idea of K04 or K03s hybrid, but to be honest its got enough go as it is, especially with the torque figure, and i want to start concentrating on looks now for 2012

 

[Mo Arif]

What rollers did you get the results from if you don't mind me asking?

 

[geo7087]

AMD Essex, Previous owner RR's it and included the dyno prints with the service history

 

[seatcupramad23]

Really nice car mate , but a k03s making 300 ft/lbs of torque I haven't seen that , k04s on stage 2 will make that figure and so struggle to do so. Anyway your rue looks awesome mate

 

[geo7087]

Really? Might look into the history of the car a bit more? i know the old progress thread is on here so may do some investigation haha

 

[Zlash_eX]

i want to start concentrating on looks now for 2012

Because it doesn't look awesome enough as it is?
Lol I'd love to see what you do with this, it looks fantastic!

Haha cheers

I'll get some updated photos soon once the steering wheel is on and once ive started tarting the bay up properly, want to get on to polishing the inlet manifold soon hopefully, going to be an absolute sod tho

Found the old progress thread, post #42, http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=220901&page=3

Thats the RR printout i got with the car and seems to have been done straight after FMIC and 4 bar FPR, no mention in the thread of a bigger turbo though :\

 

[Zlash_eX]

This is like ****ography for me.
Glad I'm on these forums.

I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to come across as negative on your RR thread, but now that this egg is out the basket, I might as well, it's impossible for a K03S to make that much torque, that's K04 / K04 Hybrid / Big Turbo territory. The BHP is border line optimistic too. Not taking anything away from your car mate, it's lovely, best colour too

 

[geo7087]

I'm planning on having the car RR'd at Alan Jeffreys down here at some time tbh so will be a good inidication then as to whether its a case of a bigger turbo that i'm not aware of or an optimistic dyno haha

Tbh im not entirely fussed whichever way it turns out to be, it's still an absolute hoot to drive Just concentrating on looks now and details, best colour by a mile haha (apart from showing bloody swirls, time to get my DA out again...)

 

[Damoegan]

I'd take the AMD results with a pinch of salt mate, there dyno is well known for giving over inflated numbers..

Wheels look better in white mate
