Congrats on the 2nd place! I'm sure you'll get 1st when your Cupra gets lighter.

Loved the video.

Thanks man!

I've just talked to fuscobal again, seems that the WOT-Box on track is not a good idea, because the gearbox is severely overheating. For me that is the worse news ever, my gearbox is already overheating after 2-3 fast laps, when I've installed the brake ducts I covered a part of the gearbox cooling duct that Cupra has. I will redo the brake ducts from the fog lights to get more gearbox cooling, check inside the gearbox and clutch and abort WOT-box installation.

Yeeey, the goodies are starting to arrive:

The front tyres are concerning wide, I really hope they will fit. Seems that Yokos, 250 is really a 260. i only bought 6 ...

The new tyres are huge! I hope they fit! I know I'd need to roll my front wings since with 225 tyres they almost rub...

Yes, Pirelly 235 are really a 225 tyres and Yokos 250 are 260.

Usually the width changes when installed. We'll see.

Hope you feel the benefit of the alloy hubs :-)

I hope they will compensate the grip I will have on the front side.
Do you know something I don't?

Just read the whole thread, great effort!

Tfsi_Mike · « **Reply #114 on:** November 07, 2016, 12:19:05 pm »

No, it's something I'd like to do as part of the full package but quite a cost for an unknown benefit. Hope you notice a nice difference :-)

teo_parvu · « **Reply #115 on:** November 07, 2016, 12:31:44 pm »

I hope so too. :D
I will try to review them but it will be hard to see the benefit because of the rear slicks, I've never run on anything above semislick.

Today was ebay day.

I've ordered 2 new cheap China radiators, one to be used as on oil cooler, the other as an additional water cooler. Also I've ordered the aluminum oil filter housing from an A4 2.0 06b115417f so it can be adapted for the 1.8T oil pump, which i still need to order, by my mechanic. My plastic oil filter housing was leaking oil due to high temperatures. I bought a new plastic one, but it will happen again so this aluminum one is immortal and will replace that too.
