Wheel spacers.

[Deano j1971]

Morning all, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice and a link on some hub centric wheel spacers for a 2017 st 300, what mm should I put on the front and what I should put on the back wheels. Obviously I would also need to purchase longer wheel bolts etc. Also the car has had a stage 1 remap and I was thinking about getting the revo carbon series intake system, does anyone know if this is a loud induction or only on hard acceleration. Many thanks.

Deano I have the carbon series intake I dont think its noisy as its a closed box system, I had the revo open cone induction kit on my car, the revo site shows it on the 280/290 but not the 300.

Racingline R600 Cup edition https://www.mdmtechnik.co.uk/product/racingline-cup-edition-open-intake-vwr12g7cup/ would be a good choice.

Or you can see if the old Revo one still works on the 300

Cant help with the spacer I am afraid, all i would say is are you going to change the wheels if so you can get the same impact with ofset changes.

Thats the one

Do you know if there is that much difference in the engine bay between 280/290/300 for these induction kits to fit. I’m pretty sure that it will fit the cupra 300. I’ll probably have to go to back to the guy who done the remap and ask him.

Don't know for sure but on my 280 the washer bottle is on the left (as you face it) but on some of the 300's its on the right, The actual revo box has a bigger head/Top but sits on the stock bottom part of the airbox so I don't suppose you will have to move anything.

Just thought I’d add some photos off my pride and joy

Just opened up the bonnet and checked that my washer bottle is on the left, so everything ok there then. Do you know if you got any power gains with this unit.

Revo says it does but that is on a Stage 4 Skoda, It will certainly be much better than you stock one and as you can see from the spec it will get the airflow to your turbo with much less turbulence.

Cheers for your info oldboy, all though I’m probably going back to my youth... with all these mods on the cupra... back in the day it would be engine out and big bore etc... so much easier now with “plug&play”... must be the only 47yr old round my way with a cupra 300.

Its called mid life crisis, you can still get your engine out and do forged parts etc when you go for the big big power

Enjoy stage one is very good and you will enjoy the extra, are you getting the DSG Mapped as well.

But I think the 75 year old guy with his tuned Golf R still has us all beaten - I hope to be that guy (if I get to that age, that is...)

 

[Deano j1971]

To the oldboy... I was told that the dsg could handle a stage 2 before it needs anything doing to it.. I’ve had resonator delete done, Akropovic dual exhaust,Rieger front splitter, Defo going to get revo carbon series intake system then I might think about stage 2 as the software from revo is only £50 more. Then she will be pushing over 400bhp which will be a scream.

You dont need the DSG Software to have fun, but you will get more out of the engine performance if you do. EDIT - I had stage 1 for a year and a half with no DSG Software so it does work but I think it makes it better

Checkout the revo site for full list of benefits.

I don’t think it’s a old mans car, I personally think that back in the day when we were speeding around in our peaugot 205 gti or Ford xr2 or Clio Williams or Renault 5 turbo or xr3i with 110bhp we all wanted an extra 50-80bhp. Nowadays cars are coming of the production line with this sort of power we all want one. Come on who would of thought that a Skoda would make a car that could produce 240bhp.

I was saying it tongue in cheek . It’s an awesome car and we are all young at heart and love em.

In my younger days anything above 120bhp was a hot hatch. So in relation we now have something on fire!!!

Oh I agree, these cars are f*#*##g awesome. She’s pushing 376bhp at the moment and I don’t think I’ll be happy until she gets over 400bhp
