that looks damn good. Ive been wanting to get an arm rest for ages but have always been a bit annoyed at how none of them really match the cupra interior... i might have to look into learning how to stitch. haha.. can i ask how much u paid for that on ebay?
 
got myself an arm rest off ebay,

but they only come in leather and this one really didnt match the stock cupra seats

that looks damn good jake, have been wanting to put an arm rest in mine for ages but none of them match the cupra interior properly.. i might have to take some stitching lessons. haha.. can i ask you how much you paid for that on ebay?
 
the £70 was refering to my ebay bargin of a arm rest,

this is an oem mfd2- i used an av interface, to wire in a playstation2 and then had to repin the wires with a 5k6ohm resistor to get the auto pal switching working as the oem satnavs are american ntsc
 
Just fitted the neuspeed turbo discharge pipe. The throttle pipe isn't arriving from America for another couple of weeks. Ill be honest I wasn't expecting anything noticeable. How wrong I was. With v3.31/3.4 APR. the cars throttle response is greatly improved and the torque on boost has certainly increased by the way it feels to me. That is not placebo. I will be logging to double check :)
 
Well after trying and failing for an hour to get my Hids on the passenger side to stop flashing on & off ( either new bulb or control box need sob sob ) I thought I'd fit my brand new from germany arm rest ( got it for £40.00 posted ).

Its a genuine armrest but its the older kind that sit about 4" above the cupholders ( here in lies the problem ):its just to high @ the mo & makes changing gear hard work.

But im an engineer by trade so refuse to be beaten, this weekend I'll be attacking the arm strut and fixing mount to hopefully reduce the height by about 2"....im also hoping to fit my ipod in there with the wire going through the bottom of the arm rest...

For £40.00 I'll make the damn arm rest lower & more comfy to use....
 
Couple of hours logging and tweaking my Revo stage 1 with the SPS. Happy with the setting on there now, plus it can go back to standard for when the other half uses the car. Result! :p
 
Managed to steal the LCR from the wife today and had a clear run down a lovely road.

I enjoyed myself. Moreso than in the old mapped CR170. We'll just leave it at that ;)

Look up flashing led or CFL lights on google it may be a similarly linked problem.

Yeah bud, under tray off, arch liner off, couple of clamps and torques, turbo coupler changed over for neuspeed one, coupler taken out of standard discharge pipe for intercooler pipe and put onto neuspeed pipe, and one silicone hose fitted. Piece of piss with good instructions :)
