improving a cupra tdi

[_williams_]

hi, i've got a couple of mods planned for my yellow tdi . .

stage 1 remap
light winow tints
LCR splitter
do something with the standard cd player / speakers


but i was just wondering, are there any other mods people recommend? conditions are i want to keep it as original looking as possible and keep it as nice to drive as it is now (so no slamming it on coilovers / springs)

suggestions?

Yeah whiteline ARB and some 20mm rear spacers on the rear will keep the ride hight but really help the handling. It wont understear as much. The spacers will also help the rear wheels fill the arch more and look much better.

Its a planned mod for me but before that I need to sort my air con and clutch. Both expensive fix's!!

Yeah whiteline ARB

sounds interesting mate . . where would be the best place to buy? im new to the whole seat thing!

I got my 20mm rear spacers from ebay and they are excellent quality but im not sure if your allowed to post the link something to do with promoting sales but i can pm you the link if you want?

yeah if you could mate, are they hubcentric spacers you have?

 

[Hartosh1]

Yep they are!

 

[techathy]

Maybe get a custom splitter made up? The LCR item is cheap & okay but not a great match for the car.

Have a look at our sponsors fella (the trading area), in particular Awesome GTI and DPM. There's probably more that deal in Whiteline, but them 2 I know for definite.

You could even nip along to the Awesome GTI open day next sunday (http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=223758) and pick up a whiteline RARB and a load of other goodies while you are there, it promises to be a good day out. I will probably tease myself with some of the stuff they have even though I really should be saving cash right now lol

 

[bluepassion]

once you start modding you wont be able to stop lol

 

[flegz16]

can you get a stage 2 re-map on a cupra tdi? as i have got one with the stage 1 re-map. also if you can, do you need to upgrade anything else on the car? i do have a full Sachs organic uprated clutch

Are they having another one ? - this one was on 23rd AUGUST

Not any time soon I don't reckon, it was to celebrate Awesome being in the business for 20 years.

whiteline ARB from awesome is about 130 delivered

Try and get the ones that bolt onto the hub and the wheels then bolt onto them.
Their alot safer!

yea they are the ones....quite heavy but they bolt onto the hub with provided bolts then you use your bolts and locking wheel nut to bolt the wheels to the spacers

Exhaust System , EGR Bypass, Panel Filter and a custom remap?

Should see a nice figure


As mentioned above the Whiteline ARB is a great bit of kit , Ive also got some of the Ebay Special 20mm Spacers , They are quite heavy but really make the car look better

ive not picked my ibiza cupra up yet, and didnt test the stereo. whats the standard one like?

if it's anything like mine mate it'll be tidy enough with cd's . . reception on the radio is awful though, i rearly get a tidy reception and even then it lasts a matter of minutes! quite annoying actually!
