cars now up for sale if anyones interested revo stage 2 map text me on 07854011081

if you put in the wrong resistor how can the airbag deploy when its removed? i have done this to my lupo, removed all airbags and put resistors in, altho my wheel airbag fault keeps coming back after a few hours of driving. the wheel airbag must need a specific resistor unlike the passenger airbag as its worked fine

hopefully look gd on

battery tray for boot some cheap rubber

exactly, the resistor fools the airbag module into thinkint there is still airbag present in the system thus making the airbag light on the dash work as it would if the airbag was still present. only time will tell if it'll pass or fail i guess, but rally cars dont have airbags and need to be mot'd to get from stage to stage so does this mean that'll be the end of rallying

just convert it to throttle cable be much easier otherwise you'll need an engine loom from a fly by wire engine

hopfully have it out its maiden voyage tonight

Seats finally in

only running issue i seem to have is coolant loss, its either a ****ed rad as it looks like it may be leaking or the head gasket is on its way out (smokey when running like is burning water)

Ready for some sump killing action If only there was some seats in it.......... Sound proofing finally removed Because race car Yeah buddy

i do drive properly, just rather unlucky shall we say

not at all, hes kept me outta lot of trouble when it came to my licence

doing at estimated 60 in a 30. but the cops caught me when the fastest they drove was 50mph and they was at a standstill. none of the math added up but still got found guilty, wasnt impressed that day ill tell you

i would of prefered a mk2 arosa over the lupo but was hardly any forsale at gd prices

i like to hope i do lol

and thats pretty much the stage i'm at, just waiting on my head back from the engineering shop

At long last my cams came ;-) Now I can send the head away for some work Still moving along slowly

Well project can start moving again.......... Well I finally decided to start pulling my finger out and start doing odd jobs on the car while I wait for parts to arrive. Last week I finally got round to fitting the exhaust heat shields that will separate the prop from the exhaust. Finally fitted the new headlight after that **** smashed into my car And latey I've just been buying in parts really, bought myself a cylinder head off an early 1.8t which has larger ports on the inlet side of the head which will help flow air quicker. Only problem with a large port head Is my inlet manifold is designed for small port heads which means I'd need a new inlet but all large port inlets the throttle body sits on the left where as my engine it sits on the right............so more money wasted on a sem high flow inlet manifold which suits large port heads and houses the tb on the right ;-) Whilst ordering the manifold I got a deal from the company and got a larger tb at the same time so I'll now be running a 75mm tb. With all this I thought I'd be as well get the head worked on, so it's going to be sent away to get ported and polished next week hopefully once I receive my inlet as they are going to port match the 2 manifolds to the heads. Once all this was running threw my head I then somehow got it into my head I needed updated cams and decided to go fork out for some catcams lol. Once all these parts arrive, hopefully next week I shall get some pics up ;-) Well it's only took about 3-4 weeks but it's here Well it's sat night I have the wee man and x factor ain't started yet! So I'll update this thread lol Well my manifold eventually came along with the throttle body And seeing as I've bought a few grand worth of goods from this guy he said he threw a surprise into the box.......... A number plate surround for an American plate???? Nae much use to me pal but I may use It somehow

Anyone wanna buy a cupra? its kinda complicated, i took the car 300-400 yards from my house to my garage to drop off all the tools and test the brakes, when i was pullin out the garages i could see her coming down so i stopped but my nose was sticking out and she just wasnt looking at the road and i knew she was gonna hit me. next thing i know my bumpers all over the road! Well Chaps it's been a while since an update, not really had much time to touch it in the last 3 weeks as have been flat out doing homers from lowering numerous cars to doing a clutch on an rs4 :-D Any way I had to fabricate my centre vent to house my diff controller and am very pleased with the end result, every one that's seen it thinks I cheated and bought this vent until I flip it round and they see the rear ;-) pics will do the talking lol The diff controller switch looks **** and I plan to make it look better and less out of place. And if anyone is wondering why I've placed the switch to one side, all will become clear in due course when the second part of the project starts ;-) Small update old turbo set up has been removed Well progress has been slow, ain't touched the car for weeks, just been gathering a few parts so I can blitz the next part of the project. While doing the new turbo I plan to rip out as much shiz as possible to clean up the look of the engine bay, so I'll be removing most of the pcv system as half the hoses are split anyway and replace it with a simple catch can system, Also got an uprated inline fuel pump and exhaust pieces to build my own downpipe also eventually bought a headlight lol

It's alive and launches well!! My old mother wasn't too pleased about the noise it was making Starting to look like a car again Well as im still undecided what turbo I'm going for I am still unsure what downpipe I'll be running so ive just mocked up a **** exhaust so the car can be run until such times the turbo gets swapped. As I didn't have an exhaust to fit straight on I butchered the old system of the a3

Well got the new carriers painted And went to fit the brakes to the rear, driver side went on no problem But for some reason the passenger side carrier fouls the disc :-/ I have a feeling that the bearing isn't pressed in 100% which is making the hub/disc sit just out of place Well finally managed to get the passenger rear caliper bolted on, turns out the fixing points on the trailing arm was slightly bent pullin the carrier too close to the disc, quick blow with a hammer and a hand from John (astrasxi) soon sorted it out, cheers John ;-) As I was feeling a bit better yesterday I thought I should try get some progress made So I jet washed and stripped the front subframe and suspension arms ready to Be painted and poly bushed. Very good progress tonight, managed to Get the Audi tt downpipe fitted so I can run a temp exhaust that won't hit the propshaft until I decide if I'm going big turbo or not. Once downpipe was on I could finally get the front part of the prop shaft fitted, I had to fit both downpipe and prop before I could get the subframe back on. Once that was done I had to fit my lower engine mount and arb back onto the subframe Then I set about Bolting it back onto the car and bolt steering rack back onto the subframe Then I fitted the wishbones and fitted the drop links

Well as I refused to pay the price seat wanted for rear brake pipe/hose Assy and no companys seem to make them either I decided to ask if Wallace could custom make the hose with a normal female end so I could make up the pipe myself and screw it into the hose, where as the originals are a complete unit where the hose and pipe cannot be separated. Whilst doing my clutch I noticed the feed pipe also has a rubber hose so I Thot **** it and dropped the original off at Wallace this morning and they made the 3 hoses for me. Just back from picking them up so I'm away to make up the pipe to complete The rear brake lines whilst the suns out Simple and easy, fitted the clutch hose and made up rear pipes and fitted to the hoses, just need to wait for my new carriers and the rear end is finished woop woop New rear pipes getting made Nowt worse than getting rudely awakened on a saturday morning! Unless of course it's the postman with presents Bit more progress tonight, I thot I'd start installing the diff controller, plan was to wire it all up behind the stereo as thats where all the wire seem to be, plus I need to make a surround to hold the screen and the control switch, seeing as the wires between the module and the screen aint long I've decided to do away with my middle air vent and house everything behind it. Some pics of my progress......... Finally it comes to life Ah ha the final piece of the jigsaw to finish up the rear end Even better........more goodies arrived today

Well after spending most of today on my arse staring at the rain I Thot I better go out and press on with the Leon regardless Because I'm stuck waiting for parts for the rear end ive had to start work on the front end, first off I had to hack off my locking wheel nuts coz I Lost The key :-/ Anyway to fit the new gearbox with transfer box I Thot it would be easier if I removed the subframe and polybush everything at The same time. Anyway subframe off Old gearbox out Boxless bay Well progress Is flying now that I'm onto the mechanical side of the build Removed the old clutch and flywheel then fitted the lightened flywheel and fast road clutch Gearbox looking pretty and ready to go Well about an hour later I got the box in place and bolted up

I also ordered a lightened flywheel and fast road clutch for when I come to swap over the gearboxes Some more progress made, finally managed to get the rear brake hoses to fit and flared the pipes to suit I also got the last of the welding done and welded in the mounts for the propshaft and got the rear half of the prop mounted ready for the gearbox to be fitted The rear arch liners off the Leon no longer fit so I had to use the ones from the a3 but they was slightly different as the Leon bumper sits wider so I had to chop up the Leon arch liner and do I bit of plastic welding to make 2 liners into one around the rear bumper. Nowt fancy buy it's functional I also got the skirts back on today but are a bit scuffed up from storage grrrrrr
