taffyjason Posted August 4, 2012 Author Posted August 4, 2012 ahhh cheers for that info, i guess the only realistic weight saving for day-to-day car is the seats then? although i would think the carbon tailgate would be a much simpler swap? Quote

Yeah the boot is simple and saves alot but then you are removing most of the weight from over the back of the car so you may find you have a tail happy car which is the reason i'm not doing it until I can afford the adjustable wing I want Quote
370Ad Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 This thread makes me sad, how most of the guys on here think the Zed isn't a quick car. Yes some of the super dooper hot hatches of recent years are quicker/just as quick but my god i think any car with sub 6 seconds to 60 is quick! Give the Zed the respect it deserves Quote

What wing are you after? Quote

docwra Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 The day my brother bought his car he got hassled by an Ibiza, as we reached the dual carriageway we were laughing about how the Ibiza was going to get blown away ........ it came flying past him as he went in 4th and carried on up the road. The lad was gutted. My brothers car?? A 380hp Evo8 ......... aye right, I don't believe that for a minute ... Unless the ibiza had 4wd and +350bhp either that your brother didnt know how to drive the evo. My mates ibiza cupra r has 250ish and still cant get near the zed on track so for a 380hp evo to get spanked theres something seriously wrong . OK mate, whatevs .......... Ill just leave this here. IIRC Ibizas dont have 500hp or 4WD but it seems to have caned that R34 .......... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 OK mate, whatevs .......... Ill just leave this here. IIRC Ibizas dont have 500hp or 4WD but it seems to have caned that R34 .......... i can see that ibiza is really struggling to put that power down Quote

Theres more videos of it and others similar still spinning the wheels in 4th on youtube. A standard r34 gtr has around 280bhp from factory An evo 340MR would easily leave a standard r34 gtr let alone an evo with 380 horses. My point was that a standard ibiza cupra would never beat a 380 horse evo. Quote
Neilp Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Something similar... Yeah putting that power down well Quote

Ian Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 No MFD display in the middle, its got the 3 gauges like the GTT does Quote
Neilp Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 No MFD display in the middle, its got the 3 gauges like the GTT does Does that mean 2wd also ? Quote
Neilp Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Yup, it will be RWD Cool which means that as the skyline will still be spinning up its wheels also with that power its not an accurate video of a 4wd 380hp evo compared to a normal seat ibiza cupra of any power variety. Quote
Ian Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Indeed I used to own a MK4 Cupra before the Z, not a hope in hell that it beats an Evo (Although I'm sure Docwra will have driven multiple tuned versions of both cars to give his opinion ) Quote

The Chubby Ninja Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 My friend had a cupra with a larger turbo, remap and some other goodies. It was pretty quick but my evo pumped it Quote
Ricey Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 You can very easily remap a Cupra r upto about 285 with no additional mods (I think) Quote
spursmaddave Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Surely this is more of a pub conversation rather than a thread Quote
Ricey Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Yeah if the op doesn't end up being a chav mong and instead starts off humble, realising he's asked a bit of a silly question then it's no fun We need da whip! Quote
Squee Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I've showed this thread to Mr Squee, a Leon FR driver. He now feels much better and much less emasculated having a girlfriend who owns two zeds! Thanks OP! S. Quote

I have a Zed and a Leon FR so I am both emasculated and exfoliated all at the same time Quote
