Revolver Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Google's pretty shit at finding car carpet dye, and indeed what car carpet's made of. http://www.dylon.co.uk/product.php?alias=fabric-dye-for-hand-use&products=product-info&alias-product=woodland-brown#instruction'>Here's some hand dye. I found some tips on there, and it can't dye man-made fibres, so that's no good. Edited July 5, 2013 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 There's some good stuff you can get from ebay called Rit that dies nylon as well, I used it to dye the plastic wheels for my RC car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1040 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Could be making the purchase of a cupra 03 plate for fairlt cheap mate is moving abroad for work so is offering me it for 2k just mot only 67000 miles just had cam belt ect done. Looking to keep it at the parents and strip.it out and track it while keeping the audi as a daily.sort of power can these things make for say 2k of mods? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 There's more to cars than power! IMO you would be better off with a remap (the K04 remaps well, probably would make a decent 260bhp), then handling mods, geo setup and some decent tyres.

greg1040 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Totally agree with you there about power if the car cant handle it well. Its the 180bhp so just a ko3 I think. But yeh brakes new seats remap and tyres would definetly be on the list and strip out what is not needed. any common issues with these cars I knew a few people off here are running them.

AdamR28 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Oops, yeah, for some reason I read Cupra R, sorry! Remap should give it a bit more poke, maybe 210ish?I'll let George and co take over now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 For 2k + 2k im sure you could get a Cupra R with a few tweaks. Since you will be wanting to fit most the R stuff to the Cupra anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yeah, if you have a ~4k budget I'd try and pick up an R as you'll end up switching half the car to LCR kit anyway If however you have a £2k budget now and will be doing another £2k of mods over a longer timeframe rather than in one hit then sounds like a reasonably good way of getting involved. Welcome to the fold either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I agree with the others; get an R if you're serious about it. That cupra sounds too good to molester into a track car! £2k of mods on a Cupra won't get you very far for a track car. Out of the box, they are pretty crap on track really. Ideally you'd want ~£500 on Brembo brakes, ~£700 on decent coilovers (not the crap ebay generic shit), ~£200 on a rear anti roll bar, ~£3-400 on a set of decent track tyres...and that's most of your budget gone without changing the power at all. I've probably spent £10k on mine, and would say there's still a great deal of things I could do to make it a "good" track car. Just ask Prawn how much he's spent to get to where he is now...just be prepared to wince! You'd be better of with something like an mx5 or a saxo or something along those lines for a track car, would be FAR better for the money, and would be a lot more fun.

Pashley26 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 For 2k you could buy my car, which would be infinitely better than buying a standard LC and then modifying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 They're just 18", tyres are pretty wide though, measured them at 260 (250 claimed) front and rear. Going to have unreal grip, however the most challenging thing about that is actually knowing you have it and using it. BTW, got sent this, 00:50 is the interesting part.

Haz Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Car is booked in to have my braided hoses fitted and bled, new front caliper to be fit and camber bolts to go in the front along with a alignment. In other news, why do throttle bodies sound so epic and why are they so expensive for Clios... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Stone RS2 my man. I have a friend selling a complete kit for £850. And it has been totally annodized red, apart from the penis of cause. The reason ITB's sound so good is because you can hear each individual phase of the pistons cycle through an individual "port" if you will. Bwaaaarrrrrrp.

Haz Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) That's a bargain, unfortunately, I've just paid for my holiday or I'd be all over it. If he has it at the end of the month I will take it, 100%. Edit: I'm actually going to see James @ Stone to get the above bits done.
