Not at all. Doesn't cover mechanical failure. And the cost of repairs is less than the amount I'd have paid out in track day insurance

the back of ya car looks melted?????????????
Track day insurance for me is less than 100 quid.
£130 for track day insurance. For every track day ;-).
The bumper is a bit melted. But I know a good painter. So it's not an expensive fix

turbo let go?
Yeh. Looks like the shaft snapped and then it started a small oil fire.
So new turbo, mani, oil cooler and we'll try again for 350
On the plus side, it never got passed all night

This is a pic of your last lap, just behind me. I looked in my mirror on the pit straight and just seen a massive cloud of blue smoke behind you, then on the second corner the red flag was out.
I've got a few more pics from Wednesday night that I'm going to add to my readers ride thread soon.

Cheers mate, It was big eck on here that told me about the track evening so I signed up to the Leon owner club to get my name down for it.
So not really mk2 related but I was looking under my dads mk3 FR 150 and I noticed that his rear suspension seemed to be abit of a step back.
It was the old rear torsion beam and no independent wishbone and suspension job which I was surprised about. I presume the Cupra will be independent just expected the FR to be.

184 and 180 are but anything smaller doesn't, unless you buy a golf or a3 which is on all I think
Fair enough pal. Didn't realise I thought all FR models would. Is it same with the 140mk2 and 170mk2 then?

Same on all MQB c segment cars (mk7 Golf based) based cars, only those over 150bhp (higher powered FR and both Cupra models) are multilink. Everything 150 or below is a (well sorted) torsion beam. All mk5 golf platform cars (including the 1p leon) are multilink.
I ticked over 50k miles today on the plus side, did manage 274.9 miles from 30.38 litres on a long motorway stint. That is 41.8 mpg I believe. Wasn't really trying, just cruising down leisurely

Okay well Google says were both wrong, it's cars over 120ps for the golf, so the 150 would have it, but what do you expect for the extra cash it costs
