Kenny's Mk5 Cupra - Coilovers and BBS fitted page 4***

Ah right, How's it going? You happy with how its sitting now then? The intercooler is a pretty easy job just takes ages to strip everything down and rebuild. Theres a decent guide which I used that turboboy put together in the mk5 section.

If your planning on going stage 2 are you doing the 312mm brake upgrade. Thats what im looking into next plus i need back disks so it seems like the right time to do it.

Aye not bad mate, you?

And yeah eventually, plans just now are spoiler, intercooler, bigger wheels, brakes, exhaust, stage 2!

Got some chrome inductor bulbs on the way aswell.... As you said, the most important mod

 

[kenny_fr]

Yeh I'm alright just taking it easy.

Plans sound good, so when do you think you'll get it all done then? Ha ha, Yeh chrome bulbs are the way forward, gets rid of the fried egg look.

Just need brakes and my bbs wheels refurbished and I'm good for summer now. Might get a sub will see how money goes.

You got any pics of your springs fitted.

 

[kenny_fr]

Well its been a while since I've updated this so here's some pics of the new look which was finished just in time for edition 38 at the weekend past. Only phone pics for the moment but some better pics will come soon. Plans next, who knows bigger brake set up, re-paint the tired looking bits, air-ride or sell on for something bigger. Decisions, decisions.








and a reflection shot


Anyway let me know what you think.

Got the springs from DPM performance a while back. If I remember right KW have rebranded them as ST by KW but are only available as a 30mm kit which could be why you cant find them.

Thanks mate its getting there slowly although I cant decide whether to keep it and get air and an install to finish it off or sell up and start a new project. Decisions.

 

[kenny_fr]

Looking good

Thanks mate.

 

[kenny_fr]

Alright mate you still got the springs?

Nah ,not get them anymore. Binned them when I got the coilovers fitted as they were starting to look a bit done.

Thanks for getting back to me mate il have a look for them then.

 

[Glarh-Fr]

Okay no worries mate. The reason I ask is that I can't find the 35mm kw springs only the 30mm ones.

Your car is looking sweet mate, how's the tuning box been? Any issues with the car? Are you still on 12mm spacers front and back?

[kenny_fr]

Thanks mate. Tuning box has been great so far, mostly run it on setting 6 but sometimes up it to 7 for a change.

I've had the car nearly 3 years and touch wood no issues yet, but its the same as any car I think take care of it, check the oil every now again, don't thrash it from start up and it should be fine. Yeh 12mm spacers front and back.
