Skoda Superb III 4x4 280 - A sleeper’s journey – 280ps to 560ps

[Micloi]

Came across a Seat Cupra R, the fast one at Pod other weekend, it was running high 10s passes. #

Spoke with the owner, he has done similar to you, running 560PS, he also put the AWD rear-end in the car from the Golf R / S3 to make it AWD and was running it on Michelin Cup 2's, seriously quick bit of kit that looked completely stock, even under the bonnet looked pretty much factory.

Yes, there are two of those with the 4x4 driveline. I know one of them very well, I helped him on many of his decisions for the upgrade.

I saw that one a while back, though when I was last there he had crap tyres on it. Good to hear he's bought some new rubber!

Just for reference car is not lower now than when with the lowering springs, just handles better.

Sorry, was referring to the wheels rather than the height.

Those are the winter wheels, cheapest set I could get without worrying if they get scratched/damaged in bad weather.

Took it for the suspension work when it was still cold Now the summer ones are on again.

Unfortunately a house extension and one too many cars on the driveway bring an end to the sleeper story. Hope it goes to a good home...

Your selling it, why?

A large loan needed for the house extension so it was either this or the Abarth 595 and 500x. Tbh my wife decided for me at the end... I will leave it at that.

Sad to hear... Shared the ad.

Ouch. I imagine the car is going to be with that dealer for some time Hopefully you've just shifted it to them rather than having it sold on a commission basis if you need to release funds.

Commission basis unfortunately. We start building next year so took it there in advance...

I'd have them rewrite that advert, average joe is going to have no clue of the work that's gone on and would probably pass quickly over it. I know it mentions in the title but i'd still want a better listing.

Surely this type of car would be better sold on via piston heads / enthusiasts forums?

As above, regular AT buyers aren't going to understand this car or it's price.

Thoroughly enjoyed this thread. Hopefully you'll be doing another project car in the future.
