Post subject: | Cupra UPDATE 19/03/09 Suspension + other bits |
Well, I sold the pug last week and a cupra popped up locally to my home so I went down there, it was a bit over my budget but with some haggling and few hundred quid borrowed ![]() I absolutely love it, it feels so tight and new to drive, dash board is amazing. It's running 209BHP and it really does fly, buckets of torque too. It's got some pretty budeget tyres on it but has billstein shocks (standard springs) and it handles a lot better than I was expecting, it's quite a bit lighter than an a3 or golf equivelant too. Anyway, I cant stop driving it. Done £60 fuel already in 2 days ![]() Here are a couple of pics..... ![]() ![]() Will get some pics of the interior soon, the seats are half leathers with red inserts so pretty sexy. What do you think peeps? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Emlyn |

Looks nice, i think those wheels need changing though, they are doing nothing for the cars looks! Bet 209bhp feels pretty quick in that little thing! Dont really know much about them tbh, aslong as your happy tho ![]() |

Thanks Yeah the wheels are a tad bland, they look much better in white or even a nicer shade of silver. Might get some of the cupra r OZ's, not sure yet. Emlyn |

Nice! I was considering one mid last year when i was selling the '6 as a potential car. Loads of power to be had from a little car, but I looked around a few and was dissapointed with the bland looks and interior instantly in my op. Not to my liking but they are very decent cars none the less! How much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking? Ry |

Thanks peeps. Happypaul- with a ko3s it will be 245ish BHP and with an IHI can run 300BHP on standard internals safely ![]() ![]() Diesel FTL, just kidding they are good, just a tad agricultural for a sporty car and on full chat diesels get near on the same mpg as petrols, only cruising they get mad mpg.

Allways had a soft spot for these really nice cars. Quite difficult to find a good example nowdays. |

Cheers Terry ![]() ![]() ![]() Paul- It's hard enough finding one within 200 miles tbh let alone a clean one ![]() I got very lucky though and this one popped up local, it turns out the guy is also a friend of a friend and he has had it back to sort out a couple of things a day or two ago free of charge. great bloke ![]() Lucky me ![]() Emlyn |
