Mighty impressive times for FWD. Credit to the ability of the car in the first place that it'll take that power and put it down.
Hybrid sounds interesting. Hopefully not at the expense of too much at lower revs. And traction might become more and more of an issue... but I'm sure that won't put you off!

The tuning company can limit the power and torque by gear, so i can have a limited 1st and second gear with full traction and then let rip in the other gears. Traction will be an issue, but my right foot meters that! :laugh: :driver:

I've always liked the idea of that. Not sure it's something Niki can do for me on my old BWA though!
I assume you won't be too limited caliper-wise with the 17s. APs or something else?

Yeah, it will be limited, but I will be most likely looking at 4 pot Brembo's and the Clubsport S discs With Brembo pads. The Cupra is quite light (mine is currently at 1300 kg) and it shouldn't require massive brakes realistically.

Yeah I saw those discs on VBT, @Shoduchi put the link up. I'm tempted myself as they'd fit my setup. Although it'd probably be pointless for me - got bog standard 340s that haven't gone wobbly on me (unlike the first attempt) so I'm probably gonna stick!
I do like where this is going though. Less rotational mass with the 17s, less with the two piece 340s (than an OTT disc anyway), less overall weight compared to an AWD equivalent. 1300kg is genuinely lightweight these days. Hate the cliché, but... less is more.
How long til things start getting stripped out...?
Wolf Burger:
e-tuners next for me.
New clutch and de cat downpipe and lets see where we go.
