Mazzerati's yellow mk3 cupra - K04-001 hybrid

[mazzerati]

And anyway
It's fitted

Lot of arsing about gettin it to fit :/
Couldn't get the INA manifold on due to the bolt holes been accessible :S
So that's up for sale to someone who can be bothered to persevere bending spanner

The difference is mental even though it isn't mapped it's much faster than the old turbo pulls miles harder and it chatters sometimes when you come off the throttle

Just got to find some injectors now
Then map time
The all the seats come out and I've got my heart set of some carbon backed bucket seats!
Then I'm going to mi-vw next year and nurburgring
Got some good times set out for this car!
Let's hope we can get through this awful winter (1foot of snow on my street!)

Blueflame decat down pipe arrived today to marry up with the milltek cat back

Was meant to be fitted tomorrow by longlife in Doncaster but they have vosa hanging round there lately doing spot checks on cars that leave their place so I'd be screwed to the wall by them so ringing round today hopefully someone can help me

And 2 new Tyres as someone decided they would look good with knife holes in them :/
Thinking falken fk452 as I've heard good things about them

Good looking car mate ive always preffered the mk3's to the mk'4s

This will be a machine once you get it all setup

[mazzerati]

Well...
Just waiting on bits ATM
Got a brand new g60 flywheel and vr clutch
Coilovers are on the way (have been for a month now :/)
I want rid of the wheels for some 16" ones of the same kind (if anyone fancies swapping give us a shout)
440cc injectors are on their way too.
Then I need new wheel bearings, and abs sensors
Then remap

Just bought another 1.8t 20v engine though
I'm wanting to do a 2.1 stroker engine and go upwards of 400, so waiting on that aswell.

Oh and it's gettig resprayed in summer, colour ideas please?

How's your car alex? not spoke in a while

 

[ALEXZ360]

Sounds like you have got everything planned out and if it was me I would go for a bright colour again, like green or orange, and my car is looking good, take a look at my readers ride, got any shows planned this year?

 

[Hartosh1]

Id stick with yellow mate but i am a bore haha

 

[mazzerati]

I dunno whether too or not, worried it will fade again might go a different yellow like imola

I'll be doing pretty much every show there is alex I'll just have to keep in touch!
Cars looking smart too mate

 

[ALEXZ360]

Go for a colour that no other mk3 has

And yeh mate I'm gonna try and get to loads of shows this year, it just depends if I can get the weekends off work and that :/
And cheers mate, yours is looking really good

i think the colour of your old mk4 on a mk3 would look pretty cool.

 

[mazzerati]

Ditto al! Just need to do a Photoshop but I can visualise it.

Want some Bbs rf 3 piece splits

 

[cupra.al]
