Pete's Copper Cupra Build/Rebuild Thread! RIP, now in the scrappy in the sky :(

[Big-Pete]

Me and my mate saw this at BHP and were laughing our heads off.

Looks like more of a supportive bra than a protective bra though.

lol lots of people had a giggle at it its a fun thing! no point going to a car show when its all serious!

yeah it is a very supportive bra lol

How dont the new rims fit??

 

[Big-Pete]

How dont the new rims fit??

im to low. plus i like the way it handles and raising it is going to be detrimental.

i could run them but tbf there to shagged and need new rubber.

Are you keeping the car now? I read your rant last night.

i dont know its pissing me off and i really would like a dc2 :/ we shall see when i have some spare dollar left to buy the dc2.

 

[Seatmann]

Dc2? That's the integra or something isn't it?

 

[Big-Pete]

Dc2? That's the integra or something isn't it?

sorry yeah Integra Type R DC2 JDM (the one i want is black with black recaros)

VS
UK DC2

check the Rev range! redline at 9000rpm

180bhp/190bhp i cant remember which!
123ftlbs
revs till 8600/limiter at 9000
economical if its off vtec
rapid on vtec


best handling FWD chassis EVER bar none!
ludicrously fast!

 

[Big-Pete]

poly bushed front wishbone going on soon!

 

[suj]

agree with the DC2, I know someone who had one for years, and like me, due to work had to sell up for a diesel

I would love a JDM spec, but insurance is mental

oh well

V-Tec, V-Tec, V-Tec mannnn!

Problem being, its gotta get to like 5500-6k before the gay V-Tec cam kicks in. At which point i'll already be at the finish line, as my TURBO kicks in at around 2.5k

One day, just one day. The V-Tec boys will realise that, yes, the cars are very quick. But Turbo rules the day

 

[Seatmann]

There was a turbo import integra knocking about for a while, not sure exactly which model etc though.

Here Pete, I went and stuck on a shorter aux belt because my rack is toast, fluid just pisses straight out and I can't be arressed throwing money away, it's pretty horrible but hopefully I'll find a stupid rack soon, it's the downside of having a less common car.
I mind you were on about doing the same thing cause I think you said your rack's the same but just thought I'd let you know it's pants.

V-Tec ****, not really just lack of torque... but Turbo rules?

I have pissed over soooo many turbo cars out on track from silly little Startlet Turbos to Ibiza 20vT, LCR's, TT, Scoobies, Evo's & Skylines even that 400bhp LCR that was on here before (before my TB's) Peak power isn't everything! Drivablity is more important.... yes a Turbo will kick in at 2.5k but if you push your right foot just that little bit too much then the front wheels will light up and happy understeering out of the corner!

You can't fault a well set up N/A car.... being jap or not!

 

[Big-Pete]

its not so much teh power as it is the chassis

its probly the best FWD chassis in the world!

shane you have trouble catching me with 142bhp let alone 190ponys that rev to 9000rpm.

NA is awesome

seatman i put fluid in, it pisses out, i dont put fluid in, JOB DONE

suj insurance is 550 a year fully comp for me :/ and 380 for the cupra

imma keep my snot box and just save till im blue and buy a nice teggy as my cupras worth about scrap atm.


its not about the car anyway, its about the driver! you can have 500bhp but if you dont know how to drive its useless.

I cant argue. I just hate V-Tec arguments hehe

shane you have trouble catching me with 142bhp let alone 190ponys that rev to 9000rpm.

Lets just get some perspective. I had trouble catching you on a twisty road that i dont really know very well. Also due to the fact i believed a copper was sat up my arse whilst doing 80mph in an area i shouldnt have been!

Regardless, once i'm in known territory, i zap yo ass mutha****aaaaaahhhh!

you think your quicker?

when i got my wishbone and hub sorted your on mush! lakeside it is!!! **** the straights

also if there's a copper on your arse that wouldn't be anything new would it, cos my copper over takes you

ANYWAY

Vtec =winning who needs tourqe at 9000rpm (it has the same amount of tourqe as my cupra BUT has 50bhp more and weighs 60kgs more)

Without condoning any form of race or competitive drive. We will use a private road that i am privy to use. And test
