Long time since last update.

Some time ago I installed a “CTS Turbo intake” kit. I like the sound from the intake, not to loud :D.

Can you tell me the part that your vacuum line is connected to? I switched mine over from a GTI so it had the air breather which now would have a big hole. I could email support just thought you could help.

Thanks,

R / CS S front Brakes

Did an upgrade of my front brakes last week.

It’s the same discs and pads as the GTI Clubsport S have and the new R 7.5 option “performance brakes” (OEM parts). They have centre of aluminium alloy. Significantly lighter than the others :D! See other treads for more info.

Item no brake pads front: 5Q0 698 151 G
Item no brake rotors front: 5Q0 615 301 C

This tread is about my Golf 7 R. I sold it a couple of days ago.

A Seat Leon Cupra R 310 (limited edition 799 units) have taken it’s place.
It had 10 km on the odo when I picked it up two weeks ago so it’s a new car but manufactured Feb this year.

Golf 7 R – A wonderful car, have had many joyful sessions with it, here is one:

Wow, you own one of only 499 built with manual and 306 HP! Guess there was no getting a discount on it.

I got a decent discount, I wanted the car very much! No 504 of 799, 30 distributed to Sweden, 24 to UK. Rather rare.

Thanks!

I’m very satisfied with my Cupra R. The new WLTP classifications rules stops for the moment manufacturing of new Golf 7 GTI /R. In SE (or EU global for that matter) we can’t order them before the classifications are fulfilled. Therefore I started searching for an alternative, found an RS3 (with 600 km on the odo) and this Cupra R. Couldn’t find a Golf R 2018 new/not used.

This Cupra R was not demo used at all, had the speed limit left of 30km/h as they all have from factory. As everybody for sure knows it’s a Golf 7 under the specific bodywork. Same goes for RS3.
