[Martin]

Never seen those fella..sweet pics specially the second one.

 

[Dan_mk1]

I want more moving shots

2nd one looks cool as f**k!

 

[Wantawilliams]

So what has been taken out interior wise? Does it have 2 buckets?

 

[Dan_mk1]

Try, whats left interior wise, would probly be easier!

 

[Martin]

Usually has 2 buckets but one comes out for 1/4 miling..

[Wantawilliams]

So how fast is the car with all the interior in? A lot slower?

 

[Martin]

Dunno, I dont have any interior to put in even if I wanted to.

 

[Wantawilliams]

What do you think it would run with all the interior on there?

 

[172beast]

Itd still run mid 14s with interior I reckon, Ive been in it a few times before Martin had it, it shifts alrate.

I can assure you it is revod gentlemen.

It was good to meet you martin - was impressed with your car, yes my starts probably could be worked on, but i wasnt embarresed losing to a stripped out hatch with a tuned engine.

One thing to remeber chaps - martins car is stripped out and must weigh half of what the leon does, has a larger usable power band and that gave it a massive advantage off the line. Once we were moving the distance stayed pretty much the same.

Getting the power down in the Cupra is a bit of a mission - its not at its best from a standing start but i went home happy in the fact i had done alright for my first outing.

until i logged on here - lol

Anyone with a Cupra R - until you have raced martin down the strip please keep snidy comments like "he was a sh*te" driver, i could of beat him" - to yourselves

re: GTI6 - i really fluffed that run up big time but i thought i had won till i saw the slip, i really couldnt figure that one out - but well done all the same.
