The White Lion! - Cupra Revo

[GtSport]

Thanks, mate!

Yes the contrast with the black rims is excelent but from 20 meters on you can't s what they are. Now I'm thinking I should go for anthracite.

Nice car mate, personaly i would of kept the bottom lip white and just painted the black bits either side of the number plate,

Also i think we need some drive by clips of the exhaust, i've heard a few but they all sound different.

 

[GtSport]

Thanks, m8!

I'll make some drive by clips and I will post them as soon as posible.

Now I have a real problem: my clutch seems to be failing! I would expect that but not so soon.

Please advice me what clutch should I choose for Revo Stage 2+ and stock turbo?

NEW PICTURES:




Anyone? Advices on the clutch issue? I think I will choose between Southbend and Sachs Performance, I didn't hear good things about Spec.

I received new toys today:

I wasn't really a fan of the MK2, but this looks really good

 

[GtSport]

Thanks, mate!

I haven't write here for some time. I've installed Ferodo Racing DS2500 rear brake-pads also.

I've just ordered some toys, hopefully they will arrive soon so I can comeback with some reviews:

- Southbend Stage 3 Endurance SMF Clutch
- APR High Pressure Fuel Pump
- BSH pendulum mount
- Bilstein B16 PSS10 Coilies
- H&R sway-bars (26mm front, 24mm rear)
- Wavetrac LSD






STAGE 2+ on the way!

Has anyone experienced the Wavetrac LSD?

I like your progress fella ! Doing good mods keep them coming

I love the bbs wheels you posted, but if team dynamics are more rare there i'd get them. Good wheels !
Also I would agree with looking at compomotive as they are very good too!

 

[GtSport]

Thanks! Can't wait to test the new mods. I'll come back with pictures.

I'm thinking of changing the brake disks and pads with Tarox F2000 and Carbotech XP12.

 

[GtSport]

The new parts are here, I'm so happy right now I can hardly sleep:



I like the buid quality of the coilies, you can see clearly the attention Bilstein has put building this:

 

[GtSport]

The cluch was sent covered in some foam and I've uncovered just enough to see if the flywheel has six bolt holes because a friend of mine got one with eight and he had to send it back:



The most fragile piece I think was the APR pump, so it was also very good packed:



The H&R 26mm front / 24mm rear sway bars:

 

[GtSport]

The BSH Pendulum Mount:



An the final piece of the puzzle, the Wavetrac diff, build like a tank (the ARP bolts should also be ordered):



Anyone knows the torque that shoud be apply when you screw the ARP Bolts?

Today I will have them mounted. I hope everything goes well.

I got a lot of wheel hop so I've installed the VwRacing Mount Insert. The wheel hop is not completely gone, I think I also need the other mounts:



Then the Audii TT Lower Suspension Arms so I can have -2.3 camber on the fron wheels:



New rotors and pads (Tarox F2000 + Carbotech RP2):



A set of OEM Leon FR Rims with Federal FZ-201 Semislick tires:



The finishing touch:



An went for my first trackday on 2012.03.19 at Hungaroring.

 

[GtSport]

This was the result:



The result is pretty decent for my first track day, but I've made a lot of mistakes:

- I've learned the track after the 3rd session out of five so i didn't use the best lines
- I've set up the rear suspension too low so the car understeered after just 4 laps when the tires overheated.
- I've boiled the racing brake fluid on every session because the 7J FR rims were too small and the brakes weren't vented enough. They even touched the calipers At the end of the day the calipers were black and I had a very soft pedal. I need a new set of 17" rims, 8J I think.
- Didn't use racing brake lines
- When it got hot I felt the need for a bigger intercooler than the S3 one and I had misfire on cilinders 1 and 4.
- I need more Toe In

Overall I'm very pleased vith the result as it was the first time. The car was better than me and I still need to learn it. Next time I will set it up a bit different.
