Tfsi Mikes Money Pit :: AKS built Cupra :: TTE420 :: Rtech Tuned

Those bushes should tighten things up on the Cupra nicely Mike. 

I felt like it handled very well on the Trackday so I can't wait to see what difference it makes 


@ Robin, I look forward to your review!

Well you've seen the difference they ade on my car which has only 11k on it, so like you say yours has 60k+ so should be an even bigger difference.

Believe me Mike there is a massive difference.

A more direct involvement in steering for one.

Everything is just................tighter.

One of the single best mods I did.

I've lost track, Mike, are you out of the UK?

[Tfsi_Mike]

Sorry, Robin.  Basically my deployment was meant to be April, it has been postponed a number of times throughout the year to the point im getting fed up of preparing for it financially  / mentally and am struggling to take it seriously.  Couple of weeks ago it was a day before the confirmed flights that we were told to stand down again.

I got a refund on my road tax and gave alex a list of jobs to be doing while 'Im away' but dont want to put it on the road untill I know whats happening

I sympathise! And can understand not wanting to put her back on the road until you know where you are. That must be so frustrating.

Frustrating isnt the word, has had countless implications

The battery tray is complete.  Just need to drop it off with the powdercoaters to be done satin black.  Will upload the pics tomorrow.

Thanks so much to Alex for everything so far.  Puts up with my nagging and questions on a regular basis!

Lots more to come (work on the car not nagging).  

Here are the AKS shifter bushes before fitting



An inexpensive mod and when fitted alongside the dd42 shifter bushes and a short throw linkage makes for a fantastic feeling gear shift.  Very 'direct and connected' without being stiff or notchy

....So what do you and Alex say will be the advantage of adding those tops to the KW V3's?

[This is a foolish question to ask because it may empty my wallet yet again]
