yellow cupra k1, polish testing

[cuprajake]

My thoughts exactly when I saw it, the pipe outlets are like 13mm, which I feel is too small, always thought it should be around 19mm so it's not restrictive,

Just have to chalk it up as another sh*te ebay experience, last week I bought a spoiler that turned out to be non genuine and fibreglass. Not getting my money back for that either. ,

very nice car jake, subaru looked stunning too

[cuprajake]

Well a slight up date,

I keep thinking of selling and then not, I think as there's nothing a can do to it that wont cost a fortune, that I keep getting bored.

It's getting close to 60k now so still low miles for its age,

Did look at stage two but its stupid money, so guys what cheap mods can I do haha.

I may look at getting the internals cleaned as that's never been done,

Any suggestions for the north west?

Also think the wheels are due a refurb to a new colour again, suggestions

It needs a pre facelift tailgate putting back on

I may have a 3" BCS decat down pipe for a couple of hundred quid soon if that's a mod option to help toward stage 2/2+

[cuprajake]

Have you not found one yet?

Stage 2 is about £1k including mapping if you shop about.
Mate's Leon cupra paid like 550 for full exhaust (sports cat), had my old Evoms for free in exchange for some audio work, 350 for mapping at rtech.

[cuprajake]

its not just that though,

clutch and fly wheel £600 ish
fuel pump £250 - £500
down pipe decat £90 -£300
intercooler £150-£300
map £350

then fitting etc,

that's what puts me off

[xjay1337]

Stage 2 is only intake and exhaust.
Stage 2 plus is  fuel pump and cooler.
it depends how good your clutch is, some slip some don't. map it and if it slips, replace it. helix clutch is only about 700. i say only, is not that much really, and you can put it down to normal wear and tear maintenance anyway.
