So after owning my cupra for about 2 years I thought I'd finally start a RR.
I will try go back to the start and go through my build and post pictures and what I've done to car since owning it, which may take quite some time as I have done quite a lot
I'll start with spec as it sits today...
Engine
Stage 2+ Jabba Remap.
Ko3s turbo.
Bbt 10psi actuator.
Standard manifold (spare to be ported and fitted still).
Sfs supersize tip (custom made to order in red ).
Rtech pipercross filter and heatshield (still to modify heatshield to fit).
4 bar fpr.
3" ebay downpipe/decat.
Powerflow exhaust fitted but away to be changed for 2.5" supersprint cat back system.
Forge 008 dump valve.
Toyosports intercooler 600x300x76.
2.5" pipework.
Ko4 charge pipe.
Forge map sensor pipe.
Ash/sfs silicone hoses.
Oil catch can and pcv delete (to be fitted).
N249 bypassed.
N112 bypassed.
Sai removed with red blanking plate.
Aircon removed.
Carbon canister N80 removed.
Smaller washer bottle.
Transmission
Euro car parts VR6 clutch kit with single mass flywheel (managed to get for £70 still going strong ).
Tt shifter tower on gearbox.
Ebay short shifter kit.
Richbrook gearknob.
Heat wrapped gearcable.
Chassis
Seat sport strut brace.
Sparco 3 point lower strut brace.
Omp rear strut brace.
Powerflex fast road polybushed lower arms and drop links.
Rest of the car is Powerflex black series polybushed (front subframe, rear axel, steering rack, arb) still to get rear top mount ones.
Vibertechnics fast road rear engine mounts.
Solid front engine mount.
Raceland coilovers (need upgrading)
Brakes
Upgrades needed here, haven't got this far yet.
Hel red braided hoses front and back.
Wheels/Tyres
Team dynamics pro race 1.2 16x8 (matt black with red lip).
Toyo proxies T1rs 195/45/16.
Exterior
Full respray in white.
Black mirrors and door handles.
Colour coded bump strips.
Stubby aerial.
Fog lights removed
Carbon wrapped badges and pillars
Interior
Cobra daytona bucket seats in red.
Omp subframes.
Momo steering wheel.
Momo boss kit.
Nomad single pillar pod.
Psi boost gauge (getting changed for stack gauge).
Cupra r gauge holder (not fitted).
Fully stripped rear and centre plastics.
Cd player conversion in centre console (done professionally in spain).
Probably missed things which I'll add as I remember
Ecu came out of my mates cupra when he broke it and is just to get me by till I can make the long trip from north of scotland down to Rtech for mapping. It made 240+bhp and 307 lbs torque in his car with a lot of lower grade parts so my guess is its bit higher powered now due to better flowing parts .
PB quater mile stands at 13.7s at 105mph.
Hopefully reduce that time this year as had running issues last year.
A few pictures to give you and idea of how it stands today. A never ending project.....
