My Cordoba Coupe Trackday Car Project

[andyj]

'tis coming along nicely Stu!

Going to be impressive once it's finished

 

[F2 Stu]

It'll never be finished

 

[andyj]

good man, that's what I like to hear !!!

You have a PM by the way

 

[Addie]

Reading this makes me want to get another cordy! Good work!

 

[boyced]

It'll never be finished

sound like my cordy, what spolier have you got?

 

[golfturbo]

very very nice stu, loving the brakes and spoiler, you really need to put some air into the front tyres tho!!

I was thinking that too!

 

[F2 Stu]

sound like my cordy, what spolier have you got?

Its a spoiler made by INAC

 

[F2 Stu]

I was thinking that too!

tyres back upto 33psi btw

 

[boyced]

so where can i get some breaks made up like yours ? £200 is a bargin price!

 

[F2 Stu]

Well no,- the pair of calipers cost around that, but the whole set up cost in the region of £500 once I had the offset altered, bought the discs & had grooves milled in them, missing fittings for the calipers, Pads, Hoses, Fluid etc

I was intending to go the Ibiza R Brembo route until the prices shot up over night

I was intending to go the Ibiza R Brembo route until the prices shot up over night

much difference between thouse and the AP Seat sport items?

£500 is still cheaper than other 4 pots aint it?

Don't think they'd fit on my 6' Ibiza Cupra wheels though, good excuse to get some new wheels....

 

[F2 Stu]

Based on new parts @ RRP, the AP's would work out dearer than a Brembo kit from Badger5.

I went the AP route as the pair I got were an absolute bargain & I had the expertise to make em fit.

You'd be better off with brembo's IMHO,- a direct bolt on kit & friendlier wheel clearence wise.

Looking great Stu, glad to see the project coming along nicely

What's up next?

 

[F2 Stu]

Coilovers & front upper brace now I have a full set of new top mounts.

May fit the ARB's in the same sitting too if all goes well.....

 

[Icecavern]

What strut brace you using mate? Want to get one for the Cordy but as I don't know 100% what engine I'm fitting I don't know what clearance issues I might have grrr, too many unknowns lol

What coilovers you using too?

 

[F2 Stu]

OMP steal one, hugs the bulkhead real tight.

Your project back on then?

 

[Icecavern]

Indeed it is mate. Got a pic of the omp brace offered up to the car?

 

[F2 Stu]

No not yet, it wont foul a vr6 or 20vt tho, unless your sticking a big block chevy engine in it.

Good news, my Jetex system & other bits are in the country, so should have it by monday

 

[F2 Stu]

The work continues.....

Decided to pull my finger out this afternoon to get the Batmobile ready for the Brands trackevening.

The Omp strutbrace that fitted my old Ibiza a treat doesnt fit staight on as it fouls the expansion tank and access to the filler cap would be impossible.

And now its raining .

whipped out the coilovers in preperation and offered up the new topmounts and it seems the thread on the top of the damper rod is too short

hope I've got the right kit
