where are they based?

 

[cupralooks]

Theyve got places all over the Uk, but are mainly mobile, so come to your house.

 

[james walker]

website?

 

[cupralooks]

website?

Just thinking I should put that up:

http://www.sp-tuning.moonfruit.com/#/contactus/4511577307

What do people think?

 

[james walker]

is the leon a tdi?

only has audi/bmw listed on that site?

also wtf is the max power/ rocker music shite going on...

 

[cupralooks]

No its a 1.8t Leon cupra.

 

[james walker]

well the site only lists audi diesels as a service, no listings under any seat model....

that may concern me a little?

if the car is good, you could always have it mapped again by a better mapper

 

[cupralooks]

Well apparently most models you need to call them and they will give you a quote.

thats what the guy who is selling the car said.

Apparetly he had is Citroen Van done at the same time.

it dont really say much. doents list petrols in the audi either.

 

[james walker]

but if they have a website, why dont the advertise the fact they cover most models...

surely thats bad advertising imo

how much did they charge for the map, was it generic or custom, rolling road results?

if you ring and ask them they should be able to give the answers to this, see if you get unrealistic power claims etc

yeah defo rolling road after. some maps can do damage to the car inners

See thats my thoughts.

Apparently its been remapped to 210bhp on a Ko3s turbo

 

[james walker]

thats a realistic figure with stage 1 map....

what id do, if you like the car buy it, then spend 250-300 quid, go to p-torque in wolverhampton and get will to map it stage 1, then you have piece of mind that the maps good.

could always try to blag 300quid off the asking price anyway,

a lot of the cupras can be tunned quite abit but i aint no expert but im sure the cupra owners will shine sum light on this for you.some of the threads ive read about on here about not enough fuel going in and about shattering pistons and so on.

 

[cupralooks]

I was speaking to Jabbasport and they were saying that they could get 245bhp from it with a custom map.

Is that realistic or are they taking the michael?

The car has been mapped for about 1.5 years so would that sort of issue happened by now?

 

[james walker]

custom map needs, full turbo back exhaust system, cold air induction, fmic, 4 bar fpr to even have a chance of those figures, 245 is a bit optimistic from the ko3s

i have p-torque stage 2, turbo back, induction, i managed 232bhp on wills rolling road.

not neccesarily, also itll probably be out of its warranty aswell.

seriously, get the car then get a good map on it, youll never look back.

 

[cupralooks]

It is a lovely looking car. Just dont want to buy a lemon as im at uni and I just want a car that will last me a few years.
