Neil - when you're over in Manchester, give us a shout.

Tom - thanks for the input mate. We'll go out for another spin soon.

Shins - thanks for the invite. I wuld love to come on some meets and events etc. but unavailable that weekend, sorry. Any others planned? I see you are localish. Oh, and what mods do you have and what power? I have already invested in Bluefin, but want to keep it cosmetically standard.

Yeah, Stockport mate. I`m currently running:

Bluefin
Full Milltek
K&N Gen II Induction Kit
Pro Alloy Chargecooler
and a few other non power mods, should be good for at least 260bhp but we`ll see. Just a manifold to go and hopefully that`ll be my lot, 280bhp roughly!

Thank a lot mate. Will do. How are you finding the torque-steer with the fancy diff? Is she a handful?

Im 25 yrs old and am quite happy with my mildly tuned ibiza cupra.

Low risk in car parks and under-stated on the roads.

Whereas, scoobs/evo's/higher speced up cars etc stick out like a sore thumb, cost the earth to insure and keep on the road !?

Anybody feel this way?

GTi T - ah, I thought that was a bit random too. Odd...

Neil, the car doesn't hedge-sniff that much to be honest. It's very good off the line as I said before, but I don't notice much torque-steer. Moving from an Audi S3 to LCR I noticed the torque steer a lot... I just think I am used to it in these powerful FWD cars now. Like I say, give us a shout when you are over this way.

Steve (Boom), once again, nice speaking to you the other day. Is that splitter on yet? I had to laugh at your comment on hearing me coming. Discreet is not a word I'd use with this car. "I have a wooshy dump valve question..."

Shins, will probably see you soon at a meet/event, but I would love for you to take me out for a spin in your car - bet it's "nippy" to say the very least!

 

[Shins]

Any time I`m available, just drop me a pm and I`ll take you for a spin, I`ll have you modding in no time! The car is awesome at the moment and can`t wait til later in year to gat the manifold on, supposed to really improve it!

 

[NumberoftheBeast]

Just about to PM you mate!

 

[Shins]

Other mods not mentioned above:

Blue Magnecor Leads
Uprated Bailey DV30 (Re-Circ)
Red Stuff pads all round
Goodridge Brakeline Kit
Carbon Fibre front splitter & fog surrounds - Front bumper vents to follow!

To Do:

That`s it then!

 

[NumberoftheBeast]

splitter

not had the chance to fit my splitter. the wifes going mad at me because i've got part all over the house that i havent got time to fit. did you do a drive by on friday night?

 

[NumberoftheBeast]

Haha, I sure did. Did you hear me?

 

[boom]

lol yep over my son screaming ! thats one loud dv

 

[NumberoftheBeast]

Haha, I might make a habit of ragging it past your house every Tuesday and Friday (the occasional saturday) and dumping out all that air... Only joking! Haha, yeah it is pretty loud, Steve. I keep considering taking it off and getting one of those recirculating ones, but that noise entertains me. That aside, I think all the "wooshy dump valve people on SCN will think I am cool Only joking - touchy subject!

 

[boom]

i got sick of the dump valve i had on my cosworth. on long trips it drives you mad. but it sounds great going through the airport tunnel.

 

[Shins]

Know what you mean but I stuck with an uprated version of the original, the Bailey DV30, would do my head in otherwise...........must be getting old!

 

[NumberoftheBeast]
