Random1989's Mk4 Ibiza FR

[cupra.al]

i went for the softer bush and got the slightest bit of vibration at first then once i had done a few miles with it on it settled down and i didnt hear it ever again i loved the difference it made with the new bush it was worth every penny.
how does it sound with the larger tip on?
do you have anymore plans?

 

[Random1989]

Recirc valves sounds abit sexy much louder with the extra boost, plus car wasnt running a revo map before and the power is so much better i cant believe it really.

 

[cupra.al]

its quite a nice difference after they have been mapped,i remember pulling away in my car for the first time after the map and it felt like a brand new car.

 

[Random1989]

yeah i get excited everytime i jump into it now like i do a new car! yours must have been crazy going straight into stage 2 !

 

[cupra.al]

it was quite insane it made me realise id been missing out on all that extra power for the previous year of owning the car.

 

[truss]

mine went straight to stage 2 aswell, as said its a shock when you first nail it!
is the mount easy to fit?

its really easy,when i removed the dog bone,i just pushed a flat head screw driver down the side of the bush and it popped out then just tapped the new bush in with a hammer. it took about 40 minute including jacking the car up and putting tools away.

 

[truss]

cool, may be a job for the better weather for me then lol

 

[Random1989]

yeha like said above easy and quick

 

[Random1989]

got too much power for these tyres now there proper crap but dont want to keep the wheels either i want some 17's and higher profiles 35mm is just a no no where i live

Whats the deal with your 70mm custom TIP then mate? It looks pretty awesome in the thread yo umade in the mk4 section!

Did you notice any gains with it, or did you do other mods at the same time? I want one really... fancy making me one?

 

[Random1989]

I've just noticed i havent put my custom tip in my thread so here we go.

the top silicone pipe is just for show as im going to use a 70mm alloy bend and get the ports welded into it

 

[Random1989]

Problem 1: coolant pipe was cut (junior hacksaw blade very tight) just after its sercuring bracket and a piece of flexible coolant hose jublee clipped on does the job and no leaks so far(fingers crossed)

Problem 2: Cables mount that was in the way, cars working no problem had to remove one of the bolts to give abit more room for the 70mm pipe.

Vac hose position is the lowest it can be and no error codes come up, this it connected to the actuator via a valve of some sort.

unfortunely i got abit excited when i got the pipe made up and dint take a picture of it complete but got some others.

the top alloy bend is wrong really (but this is what prototype are for i suppose) to get the cone filter and maf sensor on i had to add a 90 degree silicone pipe.

 

[Random1989]

Update, 18" current alloy has a nice big crack in it so i bought some TT competition and i'm in the progress of refurbing these also ordered a weitec GT coilover kit so i can lower the car onto the lovely wheels. pics to follow

 

[Aimez]

whoa lots done look forward to seeing it at the shows this year! I want some coloured hoses for my car but I have no clue about stuff like that!

 

[Random1989]

These are the tt competitions i bought and best thing about them is that they have got newish goodyear eagle F1 on.

there is some curbing damage but and they need rebuffing up but im upto the task.

 

[Random1989]

also working on a dump valve reloaction which should be quite easy to add to my current set up

 

[Random1989]

And here is my cracked alloy wow i love british pot hole roads

and i think this is just strange and peking the piss on my newish wheels

Got a nice new toy though but there not going on yet.

shiny !

 

[Random1989]

Car failed the MOT but only on the wishbone rear bush and screenwash empty, so got some powerlex rear wishbone bushes and fitted them on friday night i'm a good believer in if something breaks then an upgrade is required.

If anyone buys these bushes then dont use the grease they provide as its copper grease which is an abrasive so overtime the bushes will wear them self's away, a general purpose grease is much more efficient, the only use for copper grease is for things that will get hot

good looking car mate!
