My Mk3 Cupra Thread
My Mk3 Cupra Thread
Right well bought my cupra 2 weeks ago and thought id start a progres thread!
here it is as i got it.
Here is the spec:
Revo Stage 1
Bilstein Shocks
Lowered 30mm on Eibach Springs
Cat Back Milltek Exhaust System
Boost Gauge
so the project began and i got a civic stubby aerial, an lcr splitter , and wiring in my my boost gauge in
so i wired in the boost guage so it fades with the existing dash light and moved it out of the cupra r guage holder into a single guage holder, which i think looks muchbetter
what do you think?
have more plans in the pipe line, fmic and milltek downpipe

As above i have had a busy weekend and here are the pics of my work!!
Wasn't helped by the flat tyre i got on friday night screw in the tyre
Rolling on 2 inch wheel with 20mm spacers i think it needs 50mm hahaha!!:D
Anyway after i sorted that out with a new tyre on saturday I got to work on the stuff id planned
1) Replaced all the vac tubes with silicon alternatives and carried out the N249 bypass
2) Fabricated a bracket to hold my new jetex filter in place its not solid as a rock and doesn't look to bad either!!!
3) Relocated the fusebos and added a nice shiny battery cover
Im very pleased with it all the bracket looks nice and holds the cone well, and the DV now makes a much sharper noise!
Here are some pics of my resprayed door handles that i did a couple of weeks ago in gloss black
What do you all recon
