Defcon5 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 How come you got a chip rather than a proper remap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Ramy (the previous owner) had it fitted. It's more of a generic map installed into the ecu. So calling it a chip isn't really correct as you can't open the ecu and add a chip. I've almost done 9k in the car in 4 months with no problems. Ramy had it fitted for a long time with no problems.

Steve TDI Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Cheers Casper & NFBR. I've just paid for a BMC CDA to help air get in a little easier. I do know that it's not a straight forward fit but where is the fun if it was???That link to view the Video doesn't work. Is it my PC or does it not work on anyone elses?How much was the door strap? Was it hard to fit? My passenger door does it terribly its embarresing I know what you mean mate. You don't even want to open the door and when you do you look down and feel ashamed!It's £15 from Seat. It's easy to fit. Here is a "how to" link that I followed. I took my time and copper slipped it up and it only took 5 mins.http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34802 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Just bought some new rubber top mounts for the rear springs. They were a little pricey though........ almost 6 whole pounds!!!! Oh, that's for BOTH They should be here soon so'll i'll find out if that stops the banging once and for all!!!!!! If they do i'll add them to the "parts number" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve TDI Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 It seams to pick up well just after 2k until 3k but you can just keep going to 4k if you want to be a menace. What have you had done to yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardn Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 mines decatted,custom code rempa and jetex filter.my max power is just over 3k,amazing on the motorway,and can overtake in 5th on country roads if i have too,power comes in around 2000rpm,i just need a little more after 3k,its ok but needs that extra kick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 So that's where your more BHP is then. You've changed your exhaust and filter. Mine is standard.... for now. I've just bought a BMC CDA that I hope to be picking up tomorrow night. Then the fun begins trying to fit it. That's after the MOT next week though.

Steve TDI Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Woops.... My backbox has fallen off! Do'h!!! I'm going to get a straight pipe welded on to get it through the MOT then go to ExhaustUK and get a propper one made up, full system of course!

richardn Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 how the hell did that happen?just rusted away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Might have been the speedy fast 0-60 times of less than 6 secs It does just seamed to have rusted away. For a new one it's £80 or to get a cat-back one made up is about £265 so i'm going for that. Atleast i'll know it's going to last me a long long time.Oh, I had to drag it on the floor for about a mile There were sparks coming out the back of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 What does it sound like without the backbox on, is it very loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 mine has been off for ages!!!! it sounds awesome! hahai need to get one made to be honest! you say you are going to have a straight through put on to get it throught the MOT? doesn't it need the back box to pass an MOT?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I've added the little straight bit so it now exits the rear of the car. Only cost me £10. He used an old piece of exhaust that was cut off another car which has 2 pipes going to one. He held it up so that i'd have two exits...... I said that he wouln't dare put that on..... It's a shame the spare wheel well was in the way otherwise he'd have done it. I asked he said to me that you'd need a backbox to get it through an MOT (his garage also does MOT's). I said that the place I take it to just said as long as it exits the rear and is not very loud then it's ok for him. It just goes to show that what one garage can pass something and another won't. It does have a nice burble to it. I'll record a shot vid of it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 hmmmm... i'll have to find out before i get my MOT donw then! would love to have no back box for longer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardn Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 MOT places can be very picky with things like that,i wouldnt worry though just slip them an extra 10 quid win all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve TDI Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 It was the MOT guy who said that it would be ok with him. If it wasn't due so soon I wouldn't have had to ask as i'll have the money in a couple of weeks time.It's one of those things, Bad timing.

Steve TDI Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Well, it passed it's MOT. I've taken some more pics of the exhaust and a vid but never loaded them up.... so here they are......He was going to fit it the other way but it didn't fit!!! How it looks now.....Slammed...?Or full up?The cars I had for 1 week....The Grande Punto was my sisters (now sold) and the Range Rover is my mates. He went on holiday for a week so I had his car and fitted 2 screens (dvd headunit and roof mounted 10") DAB tuner and satnav. All Alpine!!! They all work as I fitted them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
