We know why connie's video did so well shes bloody gorgeous and the catsuit she had on wow lol and her laugh is infectious james is deffo a very lucky lad
Was thinking the same. I dont understand why someone would like this pops and bangs... But i hope 2024 is the year i've got a 5f cupra :) Greetz from Holland!
Nicest Cupra i have seen well done and not too over the top, sounds lovely. Although i was told by a number of tuners that so much overrun is bad for the engine and turbo? I tuned mine down on my A45 AMG because of the longevity of the components.
I run Reyland discs as well - great company but the J hook are a bad idea. I know people like to go for J hook because they look cool, but they do not disperse heat as well as curved or standard grooved discs. Lots of stuff online about unevenly worn/scorched discs because of this.
@@barrywakefield4942 Pretty sure you can deactivate them when u get out of Sport or Cupra mode. Atleast with my cupra it doesn't pop and bang when I put it in Comfort :)
Please stop cutting the owners explanation of modifications short just because you know what they may be / their use. You are forgetting about your audience by cutting off with yep yep I know yep
What people complaining about pops and bangs, if you put the car in comfort mode it does not make these noises. Makes it obvious you havent drove this kind of car before if you make this comment tho... xD
Are you saying that Comfort mode DCC also changes the ECU fueling map? If so, it's obvious that you have never driven one either, since it is not the case. G7.5R DCC remapped driver here...
Yeah a bunch of clueless comments. The pops and bangs are natural in sports/cupra mode. Although this guy has mapped his to be slightly.more than the regular amount
Once you lower car with std DCC, you really need to optimise the geometry to keep camber and tyre contact maximised under hard corning - was this done?
KW’s or any quality coilover is definitely worth it. I’ve been an H&R lowering spring fan for years and never tried a real set of coilovers but decided I would this time around on my MK8 GTI and they’re awesome.
Should have just tinted the whole thing @30% or whatever may be legal over there. I have 20% all around and 30% on my entire windshield. Been running that combo on my last three vehicles.
Yup sounds like a tin fartcan. Sounds way deeper & better on my GTI Clubsport custom Invidia/Cobra Sport system seen/heard on my channel videos. But it seem insanely fast 4 sure! And beautiful exterior modding on this Seat! 👍
Is that the one that was on officially gassed doing the fuel tests? I recognise it for some reason and noticed the devil developments sticker. Epic car mate!

Normally i dont like pops, but this suits how crazy this car is love it.

She came on to show off her car and mans talking about a catsuit 😂
John Cena has some words to say..
Def the best Cupra I've seen on the Channel- Absolutely Quality 🔥💣💥
Love it! Obnoxious cars FTW. A cat and res delete were the first things I did on my Cupra 300. Gotta get that full asbo!
Not a fan of the windscreen tint and pops and bangs, but appreciate the time, money and details spent. Lovely car.

Was going to say exact same.
Clean build. I see people talking about the windscreen but I think it's fine on this Cupra tbh.

Smart man. That’s y you should not tune your performance car
Don't forget to give James Wattis a pm for details on how to order the leapworks spoiler
Glad to see a fast manual getting thrown around

I spy in the background a much better looking Golf R with a trimmed down front splitter. 👌🏽love the look of this Cupra!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Impressive build really like it but the Chameleon windscreen 🤢 🤮
Agree. I dislike them so much and also not a fan of 4d plates! 😅
Awesome clean build but the pops and bangs need to go 😮
Great build, but those pops & bags would drive me MAD👎🏽

@@barrywakefield4942 Yes they are embarrassing.
He’s got the exact same cupra in spec, colour that I wanted in MANUAL. Just couldn’t find one in the lowest of mileage.
Nice bit of this this is - fair play to the owner.
Very tasteful mods with the wings n bespoke bonnet looking almost oem sport plus or R/S version of the cupra . Looks rapid as well in the dry 😳
KOOL mods 👌 wheels look good also 👌wings look pukka 👍
Can drive as well 😜

THANK YOU! Came to the comments to say the same thing. Really bugs me
Does it all the time. And the obligatory "like my car" comment.
Just like my ‘amg 45s’ which in reality is so dull

Those front fenders ❤
Luke’s little girl chuckle gets a bit annoying tho doesnt it.
It feels quicker because it’s a manual well done James 👏
Know this guy from Misha's channel. 😊
Bilstein b16 dcc coilovers here James if your interested 😂 just removed them from my cupra.
How much mate?
Hi James, is this power ok for stock internals? Assume yours are stock? How many miles since you went stage 3 and how has reliability been? Cheers
Really nice that 👏🏻👍🏼

The car is so nice apart from the windscreen🫢
Different colour??

Yeah looks wank
Should be blue not orange
Thought you were on about the bird shite 😂
Pretty much booked up for my next bank robbery car! 👍
Never skip leg day
😂😂
What a strange comment, this is a car channel pal 🤦♂️
Very strange
He doesn't look like he trains anyway so dud comment. Nice try though
@@redeyejedi17 like your haircut
Watching this video makes me wanna buy a cupra 🔥🔥
Doen maat haha
Yo tengo uno y es el segundo Cupra que tengo ya😅
As I get older the over kill of pops and bangs are just not nice
Hey luke great video , wots not to like big power , front wheel drive and a 6 speed manual box
drive it like you stole it!
Stunning beast has she been fully forged engine and gearbox
Yes James, awesome car 🤌🏻
I want that hood! What is it called?
James I love you bud, but as a friend them pops & bangs are the worse than your chameleon tint😩 love you from nath
Love you to mate! Can't please everyone now can we 🥺🤣

It was indeed mate 👌🏻
@jameswattis4222 credit to you mate. That car is a fucking animal! No wonder it makes you smile!
Thank you mate! I appreciate that a lot! It sure does, that's the main thing in my opinion!
@@jameswattis4222 absolutely mate! That's why I went against every friend and bought a hyundai i30n 😂😂😂😂😂
Give me some ideas for mine I also have a mk3 manual cupra 290 just finding the right mods for mine
Quality motor 👌 Pop n bangs a bit ott but good bit of fun 🤣
absolutely fantastic car
What year model is it?
Hi guys! Can someone tell me what spoiler lip is that? Thanks a lot! ✌️
How do these people get insured with that many mods?!!!
Phone up the insurer and add them to it? Isnt that what everyone does? Certainly what i do 🤷🏼♂️
Use an insurance company that specialises in modified cars

@@jameswattis4222 Can you leave the link of the bars you installed? Front and rear
Thanks
@@pb3382 without it being a ridiculous price?
Damn 👌👌 super nice build 👏
l380x 470bhp? how, they make about 440bhp.
Mines technically like an L380xl as has a slightly bigger compression wheel 😅
the l380x already comes with a slightly bigger compressor wheel, so is yours even bigger?@@jameswattis4222
This car would be perfect minus the windscreen & pop/bangs
0-60 time or 1/4 mile maybe?
I want one 😅
Standard manual is just as quick
I got the pwer
Is this a 1.8 or a 2.0 turbo ?
Cupra 280 is 2.0t ea888
Chavtastic!
Has this got same engine as my s3 8p
Those bangs are gonna ruin that car
470bhp on that turbo never
Looks the dogs bollucks as they say
What clutch ?
