Engine Bay

[nogutsnoglory]

i think phil was kidding, considering his is probably the ibiza with the most "unstandard" bay!
but im half serious lol

 

[Tizer]

lol i never said anything about not getting resisters. i just have not read up on how to do it yet

Sorry guys quick question

When fitting the seat strutbrace what do you do with the bonnet sensor?

 

[Reuvers]

bonnet sensor?

 

[Mat]

bonnet sensor?

Yes, bonnet sensor. Dunno about EU cars, but we have like a sping sensor on the passenger strut (drivers side for you), which is part of the alarm system

 

[SEATCOOBER]

on the seat momo strut brace there is a treaded nipple that the alarm sensor moves too!!

 

[Reuvers]

hmm i might have had it if I had alarm.

but I don't

but thanks for explaining mat

Sorry guys quick question

When fitting the seat strutbrace what do you do with the bonnet sensor?

I bolted mine to the threaded bit on the seat sport one but it seemed a bit high and seemed tight when shutting the bonnet, so i just cut the sensor bracket down and bolted it to the strut brace.

Cheers guys was just a general question i don;t have the strutbrace yet but intending on getting one.

 

[PhilW]

Couple of mine, more changed to come for 2009.

 

[Mat]

Never get tired of seeing that phil! looked awesome at edition!

 

[PhilW]

Thanks mat.

 

[Mat]

no probs.

If you decide one day that you wanna get rid of some of that bling, feel free to throw it my way

 

[Mat]

Phil: Just noticed your selling yours! WTF!?!?

Guess you've come to "the end of the line" with what you can/want to do?

 

[C3 LJG]

Looks good phil, I would run the black hose to the catch tank under the air filter pipe tho

Always wanted to do more with my engine bay when i had it.

 

[Reuvers]

that is truly amazing.

but whats this I hear about selling? Surely you must have a great reason selling in these times? your cupra won't be worth what it actually is...

 

[shantybeater]

phil looks stunning mate, where did you find that oil cap? its chrome isnt it?

 

[PhilW]

Thanks all.

Mat, i got a few more things to do on it. More wire tucks, hide the power steering tank, smooth the bay or respray it, braided lines for the catch tank, new fmic pipework....

C3 LJG, it wont fit under the inlet, kinks too much to do, i did have it like that before but ended up blocking the hose goin to the catch tank.

 

[Tizer]

It now like this after removing the black tray =]

 

[wilz]

Phil that must be a custom rotor cover? or off a different vag? Was looking how you plumb in your catch tank and noticed the difference.

Going down the same route as you with the polished look aprt from a powder coated rocker cover for me.
