That one is an R by the way :)

My last one... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=305564&highlight=Cupra

As far as i'm aware normal brake disks are not heat treated. IIRC only high spec racing disks are treated. (the type you find on full on race cars) I think if road cars disks were treated then your pads would wear away rather quick.

Using a 3mm ball ended cutter so theres no sharp angles in the grooves to cause stress fractures. (i work for a high profile company that does alot of work for Maclaren F1 engines so know how to avoid stress fractures). The discs above were Brembos IIRC and no i didnt face them over all i did...

1-0 to me then ;) They do look mean from the front in your rear view mirror, especially when slammed.

True, but i can groove any discs, such as ones that dont come with groves as standard. Now that the program is written it takes me 5 mins to set the machine as its only one tool needed.

Cheers for the info, i'll have a look at the rears, i know i have the tooling to get in there and do it but its the programming that would take a serious amount of time as theres no straight lines, its all curves and being one continuous line means that i cant edit my existing programs so would...

The Ibiza has been undergoing a rebuild this year ready for next years Castle Combe national windscreens championship, its had so many turbos on in the past that unsure exatly what it has now but heres some info... http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=151723 Very impressive car tbf.

I'm sorry but i live next door to the biggest 1.8T tuner in the south of England. I've had 2 modded Cupras, my brother and my missus both have mk4 Golf 1.8Ts, my mate has had 2 Cupras all tuned by my neighbour, who incedently has a 500/600bhp Ibiza in his garage that hes built from scratch near...

What would people be willing to pay for having grooves machined in to their disks? Another forum i'm on has suggested that £25/30 per disk is the norm if you take your disks to an engineering place, thats assuming they have the know how to write what is quite a complex CNC program and are...

Well that i cant comment on as i've never driven a 197 ;)

Easy to think a remapped Cupra would be faster as they 'feel' fast as most generic maps give a boot full of power between 2500rpm and 400rpm but if you take note of the actual pace of the car you would be surprised at how 'slow' for lack of a better word it is. I'm surrounded by 1.8Ts of all...

This seems to be the only info available... http://www.vibrant.ms/A556A2/Vibrant.nsf/pages/0201 http://web.ukonline.co.uk/gazfives/172_cup1.htm

On the road you WILL see a difference, a standard Cupra wil get owned plain and simple. When you say a tuned Cupra that is a very open ended statement as there are absolutely tons of Cupras out there running anything between 200bhp and 400bhp+, there is no 'norm' when it comes to tuning the...

Also worth mentioning that the turbo on both the Cupra and Cupra R is quite small (k03) which means it tends to run out of puff at 5500/6000k.

Yaaaawn. 200bhp in a semi stripped N/A Clio is plenty powerful for track/road use. Search the forums to see how 200bhp is achieved. Should get somewhere near by breathing mods, matched inlets, gas flowing and custom mapping (RS tuner maybe?) Cars not overly heavy so no need to go over board on...

Cupra (156bhp) is ok, even the R is flat in standard form (180bhp). 197 will have it in a straight line and in the corners. Cupras cornering is shocking, mine had to have Bilstien PSS9's to even make it bearable. Speaking from experience as i've not long got rid of my 220bhp Cupra. Get your...

lol

Amen

Mine seems VERY close to where the peak power feels to be so works out well as a shift light.

If it had a normal bonnet, mirrors and wheels and was painted in Mondial blue it would look ok.

Dunno mate, not fitted one to a clio before (loving my standard airbox). But i've fitted loads before on other cars, even swapped the turbo and downpipe, and fitted a front mount intercooler along with a BMC CDA to my last car and all it al boils down to is a few clips and bolts. Not even looked...

Found it.... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=333880&page=2&highlight=induction+wait+see Not very conclusive though to be fair.

Didnt i read somwhere on here that a magazine was doing that sometime soon?

Couple of jubilee clips mate and thats it :)

He stated he's paranoid about the Cups wheels locking up, just thought it worth mentioning that if he finds the brakes are locking up alot (on the new Cup) then maybe uprating them might not be the answer :)

Surley uprating the disks and pads will make it lock up easier (if you have a locking up problem) as the disks and pads will have more friction and work faster and sharper? Running Brembo disks and standard pads on my cup which stop very well and never ever lock up. Control of your right foot is...

Also interested in pics :)

Will have a word with my mate who owns a head working place before i do anything and see what he comes back with. Cheers guys.
