SOLD - Crafoo's Mk2 LCR Speed Blue - Meet the successor!

[Crafoo]

Wow, that narrows off quite a lot at the end doesn't it!

Talking about flow, have you seen how restrictive the cupra catback is, not sure if the lcr is similar in its stock form?

I noticed that last time I looked under the car lol ( 2010 cupra )

 

[sambryant]

Its a poor design. No wonder adding a 3" system tranforms the car.

 

[Crafoo]

Just looked back at page 2 of my thread where I took the exhaust off, it doesn't look like it narrows on the LCR, seems to be the same diameter all the way through.

 

[[M]ike]

Its a bad design of the cupras back box.

 

[sambryant]

It has to be a restrictor in flow to underpower the lc

 

[Crafoo]

It is a bit strange to randomly just narrow right at the end.

Nice intake bud. Is your car mapped??? If it isnt, once you get it done the intake noise will be a lot louder due to the extra boost pressure.

 

[Crafoo]

No it's not mate and to be honest with the cost involved I'm not sure it ever will be, unless I find the best part of £2k down the back of the sofa lol

 

[big eck]

Just go for a stage 1 map then if your clutch does start to slip you can switch it back to standard till you have funds for an uprated one. Some on here still have the standard clutch and its lasted.

 

[Crafoo]

There is a small amount of slip already though mate, I can tell when I bury the throttle, I certainly don't have the funds for an uprated clutch so it would be a standard replacement when it does get changed.

Any ideas how much a replacement is plus fitting?

 

[big eck]

ECP do the LUK clutch kit at £157. I've no idea on fitting tho bud.

 

[Crafoo]

That's not too bad, I was expecting a £300 touch, although I guess fitting won't be cheap.

There is always the chance of a cheeky discount on ECP too, they seem to have offers on all the time, they are the car parts equivalent of DFS lol.

 

[Crafoo]

Quickly took the wife out to show her the difference in the sound now with the Revo on, luckily she loved it I thought she may have thought it was too much but win win

 

[[M]ike]

Glad she liked it lol.. Mine told me it sounds like a bus ... Psssss ( doors open )

 

[sambryant]

Mine said it sounds like a toilet flush
Glad we are in the same boat

I was hoping to do some kind of review on stock versus Revo by now but what with the poor weather and the clutch slip I have at the moment it's quite hard to give an honest appraisal on things like throttle response and any feeling of possible extra zip.

Unfortunately it's looking like the next step will be a replacement clutch which I hadn't budgeted for

So I'll be looking for a local VAG specialist to get some idea of pricing then comparing that to what the Seat dealer cost is before making my decision on who I get to do the job.

 

[big eck]

Its a shame money's tight man, if you can, go for the Sachs. The price for fitment will be the same no matter what you fit so just try and stretch that wee bit further.

 

[Crafoo]

How much is Sachs eck? I'd love to stretch the budget for an upgraded jobbie but I just don't think it's doable mate at the moment the standard spec is out of my price range lol
