K04 MK3 Ibiza Cupra Track Ready - RIP

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Little tiny Update as the money this month dried up completely now! Lol
Thought I'd do a few cheapo free things !

First off stuck me forge sticker on

Then starting fitting me curpa r gauge holder with some gauges from an earlier project

There not plumbed in or wired in yet as I couldn't find my vac hose

Then started to polish my inlet manifold soon got bored of bashing my finger on throttle body top pipe and decided I would take it off and get a phelonic gasket whilst it's off.

I thought I'd treat it to a wash aswell! I'll post them pics in abit
Found a pic of me old Cupra aswell

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Cheers mate, I loved me black one lol but needed money desperately so had to sell, I always wanted another but there I always thinking what if it's not as good and so on lol which is why took me 18 months to find this one!

Tbh the guy I got it from brough a new bumper and had a body shop do it, but it looks as of they've cut the bar out and leveled the side off and painted it lol it's very good theres no joining marks or filler or fibre glass that I can see lol

Some one said to me ive got my dump valve the wrong way round??! Can any confirm this? Pics on this page were I've relocated it to the cold side!
Cheers

The Forge valves will work both ways (well 007p does not sure about the 008 you have)

But you do have it fitted in reverse

Spout on the bottom goes to tip, spout on side goes to t-piece for the normal way round

Do you get a chirping sound when it goes off? thats normally what it does normally when fitted how you have it

I've swoped it round the right way now sounds better now i think! cheers bud

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Right ooo, got round to fitting me rear strut brace to find out the rear strut top mounts had gone!
So had to change them! But that has given me time to order and receive my powerflex bushes for the wishbones and
ARB and ARB links and power steering rack (but waiting for the ARB linkage to come direct from powerflex!) and a new steering but waiting for the boss!
With my powerflex bush for my wishbone needing somewhere to go, I got my self some bare bushless wishbone from work and on my lunch use a demo press to press em in
Now just waiting for a weekend off to get em all fitted when the rest turn up!
Will get some pics up when I've sorted my photo bucket account out

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Oh think the wheels might go black but need some cheap cheap wheels to roll on whilst mine get a refurb if anyones got any?

 

[mc funbot]

get on ebay mate there are a few wheels kicking about on there an il ask my mat ebaout his old ones

 

[Berg]

What steering wheel are you getting?

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

What steering wheel are you getting?

I've got a momo team 280mm love a go kart size wheel lol

 

[Berg]

Ha i thought mine was small compared to standard yours is 50mm smaller lol

Proper go kart wheel

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Yeah cnt wait to get it fitted! Not looking forward to doing any 3point turns tho lol

 

[yellonvi-R]

Wont it affect the mot no airbag?

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

No my mots get posted through my door!
Only joking nah shouldn't do as long as the lights not on! If one is fitted it's got to work and not have a light on etc but If it's hasn't got one then cnt be tested but with the new Mot law the airbag light cnt be on!
Think that's how it works anyway lol I've always had momo wheels in my cars anyway lol
