The "Q" car just went on steroids....

andy ellis · 26-11-2004, 18:47

Well its that time of year and the modding bug has bitten again....
1) Cupra intake, yep less smoke more poke
2) VRS springs gone in favour of eibach tdi springs. WOW the front will make a great snow plow now!!!! The car has a real bad boy look as I had a feeling that the front was riding high on the vrs springs and hence lifting at speed. We reckon we took 20-30mm out the front and about 10mm out the back. Still got VRS stock dampers and it seems to be a good match and rides the bumps well.
3) G60 clutch on Monday.
4) If it gets from Germany in time eibach arb on Monday.
5) Black Diamond all round, parts on order and fingers crossed as one front disk has a suspected fracture!!!!
Will post reviews later.

Anyone for a driving lesson?????

FabiaTDi · 26-11-2004, 19:23

Sounds good Andy!

How much torque can the G60 clutch take?

Hmmm - methinks cupra intake will be niiiiice for me too then!

andy ellis · 26-11-2004, 20:11

G60 good for 320lbs imho

Lummox · 26-11-2004, 20:35

Glad you got the springs ok and you seem to be happy.

Did you get the new top mounts?

andy ellis · 26-11-2004, 22:42

Ross, sorry not to say thanks sooner! You are a top geezer who knows his stuff!!!!! Yep did the top mounts and its a lot quieter especially on lock to lock, cant wait for the new arb to really quieten down all the squeaks!!!!

Can you elaborate on the top mounts mod, how much and where from, likewise the source of the Eibachs?

Lummox · 27-11-2004, 00:39

Nowt but the std parts from Skoda for the top mounts. Andy had some issues with noise (as did I) new top mounts have sorted it.

Eibach's Andy was trying to sort out a group buy, dont know if anything came of it, sadly lack of funds before Xmas means I couldnt go for it myself.

***Neo_VR*** · 27-11-2004, 00:41

Andy.. is the G60 clutch a 320mm or a 340mm item?

Lummox · 27-11-2004, 00:43

Std vRS 130 PD clutch is 240mm Colin.

andy_ccr · 27-11-2004, 15:53

Andy, just wondering how you manage to insure a 'modified' driving school car !?!?!

RichVRSEnvy · 27-11-2004, 17:31

andy ellis · 29-11-2004, 22:22

Because its a 4figure (and its not £1XXX) sum for insurance to start with and they are not fussed about mods!

devonutopia · 29-11-2004, 22:31

What do the bloody students think of it?

I bet you got all the local chav scallies queuing up to learn in your motor!
