White FR to Black Cupra - Cupra Now Sold :(
- Thread starter Scott-o
- Start date
It's not back on the road mate and I'm down in London, it's in my mates garage in a sorry state so I'm trying to sell it to someone who will look after it and get it road worthy again. Been looking at a 1.8t s3 or a s14 I like the idea of rear wheel drive but then I think of snow and sway to 4 wheel drive haha.
Saw your Cupra on ph mate you still set on selling it or you just seeing what happens?

Pretty set on selling but not going to drop price much. Got cash sitting there to LPG it but I'd rather it just went to a new home and someone kept it up to standards and progressed with it. Nowt but timewasters so far, both on px deals and cash deals, it really gets you down and gets stressful doesn't it.
Picked the mk2 up today though, done a few bits already haha absolutely love it! Love the character older cars seem to have. My mate I bought it off looked like I'd stolen one of his kids driving away, he's wounded
suppose I'll be same with the Cupra if/ when it goes.

Alrite scott, liking the golf!! Just looking for some advice getting my car ready for stage 2 next month as its been off road for winter I've been working away on it! The way it's stands is milltek TB decat exhaust, forge TIP forge MAP pipe Forge throttle body hose, split-r, ecs stage 1 clutch kit 14lb fly Sachs clutch, new coil packs, power gasket, full service, Brembo max discs n red stuff pads, N valves removed n SAI, is there anything else I should/could do for best power from johns map in April? Hope ya can help since uve done all this already! Cheers Scott!
As Damo said the dogbone mount is a good upgrade for stage 2 but it sounds like you are good to go really!
Got some updates on the golf to copy across soon and Cupra is serving me well as a daily again too. Done 750 miles so far and it's averaged just under 36mpg and not costing as much as I had thought, mpg is only 1-2 out from working it out manually. Economy has gone up since I ran some injector cleaner through it and fitted new genuine plugs after it sat all winter.

I get about 38-40 on the way to work and 36-38 on the way home. Used to be able to get better on the old map but this one is much better to drive.
newsouth power gasket or the badger 5 version (small port),wont definatly make more power but keeps the intake temps down and the inlet manifold feels cold after a drive rather than hot so its got to be doing good.
Should let you run more advanced timing I've been told as it keeps the charge cooler at higher revs.
Yeh that was right for my map Will, sure it's the same for lots of others too. You can always add it yourself with lemmiwinks and careful logging on vagcom too
Stainless overload tonight! Wind deflector arms turned up so set about fitting them. Ended up taking the deflector off and cleaning all the rain gutter out etc no before pics but a few afters:
Rusty standard arms:
Only a small cheap change but I'm so much happier about this area now. Sunroof is allot smoother and silent now when it closes too, winner all round!
These also turned up:
Stainless loveliness:
Cheers for sorting me out Matty, appreciate that! Hopefully get these on at the weekend. Just need a nice set of rm's/rs's to get it up to where I want it to be now. Doesn't seem to be many sets about though
Still no luck with the Cupra, boooooo

Aye it's gone now buddy. One of my mates from abit down the country has it, so it's in good hands so I'm happy to be honset. Luckily my office is moving nearer to the train station in a couple of months so held out on a diesel for now (and hopefully for good) lol
It's not as fast or half as aggressive but its just got everything, as an all rounder its awesome. Interiors are amazing (its got the heated half leathers) and its also got the sunroof, which is rare on them and since i got the mk2 i love sun roofs lol
