What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Benjic2]

Good figures I guess! I always thought there was not as much reserve on the Renault 2.0T as there is on the K04 TFSI engine.. They are running quite some boost as standard I believe.

I must been reading the wrong info on forums/sites then because 320bhp is just as healthy as the Cupra.

After stage 1 it does kind of come to a dead end with the standard turbo, you can squeeze 330-40 out of it but it isn't cost effective as you have to start changing injectors and fuel pump etc, so many people go hybrid after stage 1 ( or stage 1+ [decat]) rather than going stage 2 on stock turbo as extra upgrades would have to be done anyway.

New leather seats through warranty

How the heck you managed that mate?! And what was wrong with your original ones - just incase I need to go try this magic trick myself....

 

[tonto]

when for a merry drive, not really driven her like that for a long time! forgot how much fun it was!

then let a mate drive it and told him he had to drive WOT and full boost, man it feels so different being sat in the passenger seat! i need more! I NEED MORE! and something to help the handling and hop!

Have you got any pictures of the bolsters you can PM me with - It's worth a shot if mine are in the same condition.

And are they replacing the whole lot or just fronts?

Just the fronts mate, the backs are never ever sat in. Ill get some pics. They ain't too bad. It's the supporting cushion that's rubbish. After a bit of investigating VAG changed there supplier to cost save for the seats..

Might get mine in aswell see if i can get anywhere with them

Can't do any harm asking, especially now Seat have set themselves a precedent...

Plus, they probably have a stock of these seats sat in a warehouse doing nothing now

 

[Smee]

do you think i could convince them the Leather fell off mine even though its standard cloth???

I fitted LED DRL and sidelit bulbs to the Supercopa today. Looks soooooo much better at the front now. Just amazes me that Seat fit horrible yellowy ones in the first place. And I'm error free.

I'm gonna order my Sportlines today, just gonna trawl and see what part number I need for a 62 plate FR soot chucker.

***edit***
Springs on order from Damian. I did go for the sportslines. Ill post pics of my lowered Supercopa at the end of the month

And I'm thinking maybe a set of these, but I've not looked into offsets or what tyres I'd need either but I'd like a slight stretched look on the rear...

Are there any warranty issues with fitting aftermarket springs? I want sportlines on my supercopa too, but currently trying to persuade the mrs that it wont void the warranty, ruin the ride quality or have the front splitter make sweet love to the local speedbumps

 

[NhojBob]

p.s. I took my MKII to Cheshire Oaks outlet, bought a new hoody, then came home.

if anyone saw a white supercopa doin a ton on m56 then it was me

[Jarre]

If you buy the SEAT accessories lowering springs then definitely not. But if you buy some other aftermarket lowering springs I guess they may try and argue that if there was something wrong with the suspension system it was down to the springs. Mind you most things are probably considered wear and tear items and therefore not covered by warranty anyway.

Finally found an engine cover that wasn't silly money, cut up and fitted today

 

[Tron-19]

That was my thinking, if something goes wrong suspension wise I might have been fight, but I'd imagine everything else would be fine.

You just need a plastic battery case now and it would look well tidy .
