Turboboy's facelift mk5 cupra

[turboboy]

Thanks mate, I love it. Cars pretty much finished now, I'm very happy with the stance.

Fancy pics hopefully coming soon

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Cars definetly looking sweet just got to get mine off the stilts now aswell lol

 

[turboboy]

You can get entry level coilovers pretty cheap now, this is more than enough though

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Seen some H&R springs for £112 which is tempting me especially as payday on friday

 

[turboboy]

Go for it mate, mines a nice low and even ride height I only paid a touch less for mine

Also turns out I'm not finished with the car, ordered one of these to help the standard unit

Also fitted LED glovebox light and will do the boot one this afternoon.

Does an intake make any difference to these or is it just noise

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Depends on what intake, I'm guessing the forge and itg ones will be the most beneficial off the shelf units but even then I think you'll only see about 5hp at best but I find they tend to make the car sound more throaty

Not sure about Forge but with ITG, it holds through the revs abit longer and its made my car abit more faster, not sure how much ponies as I havent had it dyno'd but it has made a difference to stock. Sounds nicer too invest in one!..I got mine 2nd hand so win win for me

Where did you get yours from as I'm trawling through the web constantly but cannot find one to save my life

 

[yaue10]

I got it off a member on here called hurdy whose got a golf r now and he was breaking pretty rare to find a 2nd hand one on here but just gotta keep your eyes open for it bud.

Is this one of the universal front mounts that were on eBay recently?

 

[Molehill_Mike]

Nice thread buddy, looks sweet with kit and stance. Nice touches. It won't end though, always something else!

It's a universal intercooler but not that kit on eBay but I bought all the parts separately myself on eBay lol

£95 vs £250 for an extra 5mins of searching.ive put a link to all the bits i bought in my thread
In the mk5 section and will do a guide if people want it.

 

[turboboy]

It's fmic day!!

 

[turboboy]

Fmic fitted, gained alot more mid range torque then notched the TMC up to 7. It's quick

 

[TopManTaz]

One of the best looking facelift models i have seen! Top work, liking all the subtle changes! What headunit do you have? Was the kenwood sub a straight forward fit?

 

[turboboy]

Thanks, head unit is standard and the kenwood connects up to it. My friend that has is own car audio business fitted it all for me, if you know what your doing its not hard to fit but its had to fit neat and hidden if you get me, he done a cracking job though


Need to get some better pictures of the car tbh

 

[TopManTaz]

Ah right fair, are you still running standard speakers or have you upgraded them?
I'm looking into upgrading speakers as the distortion gets pretty annoying, already replaced one speaker with another genuine one but not any better

 

[turboboy]

Standard speakers mate
