Damoegan's Mk4 Ibiza Cupra

[Damoegan]

New job for the weekend

Just need to get hold of a set of axel stands now..

 

[kriso]

Ramps are easier if you can get hold of them mate

 

[AndrewJB]

did mine with stands !

get it fitted you definetly wont look back

 

[Damoegan]

I'll be fine with axel stands I think. Just got to wait for the snow and ice to clear first.

 

[kriso]

I just found it easier with ramps as the suspension is already compressed and there's nothing touching the rear beam as you need to mount the bar to it. Watch out on those icy roundabouts when you get it fitted

 

[Damoegan]

Thanks for the heads up, Kris. I might ectualy be able to get hold of some ramps, if not I am getting some axel stands off a mate on sunday/monday.

Realy looking forward to tasting it out

Where did you source the whiteline one from mate ive been looking about
and could only find a kw effort?

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Axle stands will be fine! You place them under the spring cups.

Awsome-GTI mate. Clicky.

Yea, thats where I was going to put them mate.

Just need the pack ice to melt so I can get on with it. But it has just started snowing again...

Hopefully my next mod... although the wife is ranting on about how we need to be saving money at the moment!

The only problem with starting to mod a car is: the latest mod is never enough, you always look to the next mod (and usually more expensive!)

Tell me about it mate. My next mod will be very expensive, either coilovers @ £350+ and/or turbo back exhaust @ ~£750

Ok, dont rub it in mate

That will be expensive! The trouble is knowing when to stop. I'm off to a party at a casino tonight so I might have some money to spend on mods tomorrow... or maybe not! Last time I went I left £250 up...

Good luck then mate. And if you have a BIG win send some this way please

Yeah right! Last time I had to buy the wife a new handbag to keep her from moaning too much! I give myself a strict limit though, so if I blow it, then that's it for the night! 9I have only been twice EVER so its not as if I'm addicted or anything... not like modding!)

I Never get that my luck goes the other way

I'm just saying if you can get hold of both, get the ramps. It's not impossible with stands or anything, but you can see from my pic how the stands under the spring cups can get in the way when you need to swing the bar into position:

 

[Damoegan]

I see where your coming from, Kris. It would be much easyer with ramps.

I'll see if I can get hold of some. If not I'll just have to make do with axel stands.
