yeah true, looking at the team sheet they put out today , none of that team played the other night but still, i was hoping for a win

a draw will do though

 

[acidstrato]

[Daz_gibbo]

[davidol]

[acidstrato]

just got in, celebrated for us either way lol

cold pizza and water now! and some chunes!

 

[PhilW]

Gonna start with the bits and pieces in a bit if anyone fancies a trip up. Just hope the stupid weather doesnt piss me off now.

Not fussed on the middle stickers dave as yours are E plates. Still looks good tho.

Any of u ladds plan on fitting on brembos ?? or u happy with your brakes? sounds daft but i do like the look of the brembos but not the price tag,is it worth shedding 745quid then about another 150 to fit them? or does uprated drilled discs and uprated padds do the job ok??

 

[davidol]

matt have you driven a cupra yet? stop worrying about the brembo's until you drive the car, personally i find the std brakes are pretty good, sure they could be uprated but ive got better things to spend 1k + on at the moment! wait until you drive the car!

 

[madmatt1]

i had a silver cupra when they first come out few years back,cant remember what the brakes were like,nar when i get my car i want it all done in the first week,all the engine modds i were gonna do have been done anyway by the person im buying it off,its just picking the wheels which ive done,and maybe deciding on big brake conversion,however the current owner did say he has drilled and grooved discs on the front with uprated padds and brand new brakes on the back,so guess your rite mate rather than have the common brembo if applicable may upgrade the padds or something

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Mine fade quite easily after a spirited drive. But theres noway I'm spending a grand on a brake conversion now!

 

[madmatt1]

Too be honest the brembos look good etc ,but think in the long run rather spend fraction of the cost on nic front discs and padds ,how much do standard cupra alloys go for with tyres? depending on condition?

 

[madmatt1]

any of u ladds got sub and amp in your cars?? if so does the slight extra weight make a difference to performance? been toying with the idea of a nice active 10''

 

[PhilW]

I've given up. ****ing oil sender is a complete ****ing arse to fit. SO the plan is to fit it when the polished mani goes on, that way i can get to all the bits.


I have managed to fit the washer tank and bling cover, which was one of the hardest things i've done on the car, just no room at all and i lost the ******* push cap exit on the carbon cannister somewhere.

While i was at it i plumbed in some vac hoses to the rear washer and fed it down to the bumper so it sprays on the cooler. Works well, ****in loads of water tho.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

lol always complications hey Phil. Matt I used to but took it all out in aid of less weight. Got a 12" jlw3-V2 and stealth box for the MK3 here.

 

[Jonzy]

ive got a 12kg gas bottle in my boot, but what i loose in weight i make up for in performance

Phil, your such a girl

 

[madmatt1]

lol

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Yeah Jonz, I think that might make up for it.

 

[PhilW]

Daz, you want that stealth box and sub?

 

[acidstrato]

im bored gonna go out for a spirited drive in abit

Phils efforts inspired me to wire up my boost gauge light today after a long long time lol, knocked it up to the cig light pretty quickly and works a treat

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Nope been sat in my bedroom for a while dude
