Minted mate. Love this car, and looks fantastic in the flesh.

 

[Mylo]

very, very nice

Think the back is riding a bit high though

 

[air121005]

looking good

IIRC, it was 'only' 320'ish bhp when you had the IHI fitted, what have you had done since to get 349bhp?

ps, thats a very clean engine bay

 

[Ninja]

gorgeous car.. definately in my top mk4's!!

 

[jedi knight]

You should really think of modifying your car


That is 1 hell of a great looking car

 

[DPJ]

Yes, it looks lovely.

 

[Mr_Dave]

Only one word.. WOW!

 

[nibbles]

[cupra_brown]

Sits a bit high

[John-Cupra_TDI]

[Stu_pot]

I'm pretty damn fussy but I must admit i DO like that, liking the bonnet bra as well, wouldn't work on any other colour

@ LEE MERIN jbs done the turbo covertion only

@ AIR121005 the car was rolling roaded at jbs about 6 months ago at 333bhp but the clutch was only stage 1 and the engine mounts werent uprated and the gaskets on the turbo were blowing every 5 mins so im guessing the gaskets had slightly blown when first done but went for anouther rolling road day about a week ago and it was freezing and ive had

gaskets uprated
custom vibratechnics engine mounts (dogbone, gearbox and engine mounts)
stage 2 spec clutch

349bhp and 338 lb ft

@ the rest of people comments THANKS! YOU MAKE IT ALL WORTH IT

 

[air121005]

its got to be an amazing car to drive!

fairplay to you Rash, well done in creating such a desirable car!

on a side note, did you notice an improvement when the engine & dogbone mounts were fitted?
i ask because jabba now do a dogbone mount for the fabia / ibiza, but wonder if its worth £140?

 

[nick-barnes07]

looking nice , very sexy

 

[cardaft]

Really like that, very smart

And 349bhp!!!!!!!! thats imense

 

[leoncp11]

now thats a low car is it adjusables or air ride nice car !

 

[rashcupra]

@ air121005 the rear dog mount made a big difrence in my car but my old dog mount was absoulutly raped by my car and desperatly needed changing as i was geting massive knocking coming through the gearstick but imo the rear engine mount isnt worth eting unless you deside to go bigish power as only diffrence i felt was quicker accelaration response and very vibraty in the cabin so only really for the TRUE PERFORMANCE PEEPS (not the dash rattle moaning crew )

@leoncp11 no its not on air ride (too much weight but ive got it on fk silverline + coilovers will be raising it back up when i can be assed as the handing is not great that low and rubs a little and im more a performance man myself so will only look like this at the bigger shows

 

[dsmithmobile]

Stunning car,saw it at the jbs rolling road day and thought it looked great and has a nice amount of power too

 

[rashcupra]

i know! im right on the limit! the internals cost £3000! so i dont fancy that but! might just uprate the rods as they are whats prone to go!
