god it annoys me, its only a number plate! surely if you have one on the car and you can see it, it shouldnt mate where it is

 

[CluneZ]

Exactly it's daft the plate I have on be it smaller is more than visible and reflective. I assumed if be fine and like I said I've had it on a good 9 months

 

[CluneZ]

Fitted my new mirror polished inlet manifold and my 1cm thick phenolic inlet gasket

Gasket

Everything off

Gasket on

Finished

did you do a throttle body realignment with vagcom after?
looks like a nice clean bay really makes some space moving the battery looking at the pics above.

Erm no

I didn't know you had to it seemed to drive better, think my inlet was a bit clogged and the injectors were a bit mucky

Lots of space when the battery and SAI is chucked out

read this link if you havent already cannot remember why your suppose to to do it but this link says why.http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=236219&highlight=throttle+body+alignment

 

[CluneZ]

It says to do I when the battery has been disconnected also

I have done that many many times and never realigned

Maybe I should give it a go

 

[CluneZ]

Some new pics

Also just fitted a short shifter custom made off Damoegan's old Ibiza

That's an awesome idea not worried about restricting the cold air hitting your intercooler though?

And last but not least, get yourself to a sun bed

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

This looks mint

Didn't really take to mk4 Ibiza (owning a mk3 probz don't help lol) but I really like this!

Car looks spot on and similar spec to mine so can't be bad haha

 

[CluneZ]

It's no more restrictive than before I don't think
Probably less actually as the plate sits lower.
Would you believe I'd come back off holiday 3 days earlier

I like the Mk3 cupra r but my gf would've killed me buying a car 10 years old

Looking into a tubular manifold and a k04 now

 

[CluneZ]

Made up new pipework from the charge pipe to IC to get rid of the crappy standard pipework

Cheaper than the forge kit for sure

 

[CluneZ]

Had a trip down to ****** for a new map last Thursday. The map that was on my car wasnt doing it much good, putting lots of stress on the turbo which may have made it a poorly turbo

It can't be that bad as after a lot of good work from Niki and the guys it is now making 245 bhp and 299 ft/lb. The new map is amazing, night and day compared to the old one. Power delivery is rediculously smooth and pulls very very strong.
The graph

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Very good mate r tech are on the ball atm arent they.

I must get there my self

 

[james.l]

Looking at the graph it holds the power so much longer as well!!

Well done 'those who shall not be named'

lol

 

[ReDBull]

Looks good. I need to pull my finger out and get a DP fitted then off to R tech. Nice colour car

 

[jay-cupra]

he's the only guy I turn to when it comes to maps

 

[CluneZ]

I can't understand why they can not be named

I don't think there's a better tuner for the 1.8 20vT. Especially anything with a K03s

The map is amazing, power is strong all the way through to 7.5k I couldn't honestly believe the change it made.

Niki believes he can achieve 250bhp purely by porting the exhaust manifold

Thanks for all the comments chaps
