looking at getting a fast cupra

[Jontys]

hi there i am looking in to buying a very fast car but understated. i want a scooby beating car. have been looking at getting a cupra with ko3's or an ihi'd one. could people give me feedback on these and any relabilty issues thanks jon

A GT2X ibiza (290cv) beats an STI on 1/4 mile. And is a lot cheaper.

whats a gt2x?

 

[exsaxoboy!]

Its basically a garret turbo instead of an ihi, all the same kit needed, a few bits and bobs maybe different. Its just another way to get to 330+ bhp. Althougth a few people reckon it will be a very tight fit.

Thats a lot of power front wheel drive thougth. My revo ibiza, stage 1, can blow my mates r32, so depends how fast you think you really need your car. Revo stage 2 k03s etc standard will put u up in the bracket of top fast cars. With that you will still be saying bye bye to most scoobys in a straight line. Just never expect to beat 'em in the corners!

what bhp can you expect from a ko3 cupra with remap. and does it effect the handleing

handling? cupras dont handle anyway lol! Chassis can cope with a remap no probs. Your lookin at 200bhp+ from just a remap, that will cost you about 500 quid.

about 220-230whp with EVERYTHING in place and stage 2/custom map + k03s

defo need uprated suspension, i would do brakes also

K03 with all the works will beat most Scooby's, then with the addition of a K03S you go into the M3 & Evo beating territory. With GT2X & AM04 you go even further up the scale into the modified scoobys, evo's, skylines, etc...

And with IHI (350bhp) or GT28RS with internal work (400bhp) your in the best of the best league, nothing much will touch it unless there running big power.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Exsaxoboy, you will not get 330bhp from a GT2X. GTRS yes, your looking at 290bhp tops on a GT2X

Just buy one & remap it if you want to show PPP'd ones their ass.

Craig are you saying a 220bhp Ibiza will beat a 320+BHP M3?

This may well be true but I find it unlikely, may be entertaining to 60 but after that the M3 should spank it!

Jontys: As already said, get a remap and see how it goes, releases alot of power for a few pennies!

 

[Revo Kev]

I've one for sale at the moment...

Off topic but, is it being replaced with something???

Seems a very fair price for a lot of fun

 

[Revo Kev]

Both that and the TME are being replaced with an S1 Exige(track) and a 944 S2(road) basically two 'involving' cars!

 

[Craig!]

Blackturbo - My 207bhp K03 give's them a run for their money and stays with them, and I have first hand experience of K03S car's passing them.

I think you'd be suprised. Mine stays with M3's.

Always going to be a close race against an m3 especially when they use launch control! But i've beaten my friend 2003 convertible before.
