hi mate
how do your find the cupra to the is200 as looking at getting a diesel cupra soon
My New Leon Cupra - edeath - 14-09-2018
Yeah im really liking it.
The good points are it is much cheaper to run, all the parts for it are cheaper etc.... The 1.8t engine is great and the handling isnt bad.
Its just not a luxury car though. You can tell the suspension is nowhere near as sophisticated and there are more creaks and rattles than the Lexus.
Overal I'm happy with the change but I bought with the idea of modding it quite heavily.

Just bought a rear Arb (front not as needed as rear), some new engine oil (I'm going to change it every 6 months and the lower strut brace from the cupra-r to complement the rear arb. Hopefully fit it all this weekend if all the bits turn up in time
.

Well thats the lower brace, dog bone mount and engine oil done. The engineer is more responsive now and turns in a little quicker but no massive improvements. Hopefully going to do the upper engine mounts this weekend which should massively improve the engine control allowing me to put the power down even better.
