Red Ibiza Cupra TDI

[dirk1978]

Hi everyone. Bought this last week. Completely standard, 52k, FSSH and immaculate. Think I got a bargain

I was originally looking for a LCR but couldn't find the perfect one. Eventually saw this and thought it would be nice to have a hot-hatch that's actually like a hot-hatch should be; torquey, responsive, small and tight. Something a little different. I'm loving it so far, just being able to pootle around in 5th and 6th getting 55MPG with nothing to prove

I've updated some later pics below.

Currently running 291lb ft / 186BHP standard and getting a remap tomorrow

So far I've changed the oil / filter, cam belt kit, air filter a few times, fuel filter and put some Falken FK-452's on the front. I've added some SEAT sport interior chrome detailing and replaced the spare with a can of tyre foam.

After the remap I'll probably just go with some rear spacers, whiteline ARB, EGR delete and leave it. To go much further you need to spend a lot.

Looks good, i was looking at one of these before i bought my LCR. I like them alot, trying to convince my brother to buy one instead of a Mini Cooper S

Driving this reminded me of Sooty - glad you finally got what you were after

My brother-in-law has a Mini Cooper S. It handles slightly better than the Cupra but isn't in the same league with performance. Not really all that impressed with the MCS apart from going round corners.

I love the supercharger whine, when driving it. But he wants the new turbo one aswell, which i don't think is as good. But he has to drive it so its his choice, i'm just trying to point him in the right direction is all, haha

very nice example loving the photography mate, makes the mk4 look so much more agressive than the current mk5 styling

I certainly would have been in Aston Fields. What day and time?

was a couple of weeks ago about 8am, i was turning right to head up towards the post depot, you were coming the other way

 

[dirk1978]

Yup that would have been me. Bah I'm not the only Cupra in town

Let me know if you want to compare anytime, always interesting to see if my car is running OK..

Yeah, I've still never actually seen another one on the road and realised it!

I got this by accident. I was after a LCR but spotted this and the thought of a PD160 pulled me away from a the LCR.

What are you having done?

 

[ATP]

having vandal damage removed:

i knew yours was a cupra, but didn't know if it was petrol/derv

i fancied a LCR as well, but couldn't live with the economy, i'd end up getting 25mpg out of it

 

[dirk1978]

Pisser. Glad you're getting it sorted though. Was it done in town on a car park there?

Yes I'm also glad I went the derv route as I get 50mpg going to work and back.
