Badbill_UK's hybrid Mk4 Ibiza FR

[badbill_uk]

Just thought i would do an update. I have had cupra front rear wishbone bushes fitted as i got the dreaded squeeking noise when breaking and accelorating and also went for powerflex front wishbone bushes. the steering feels alot more responsive and best of all no more squeek I have just ordered today the miltek decat pipe as the sports cat i have is restrictive for hybrid turbo. I am thinking about getting a map switch box so i can have two or three maps standard, one i have now and a flat out mental map. just need to find such a box does anyone know where i can find one and how much ?? once i have that will get another map done see whats the most i can squeeze out the hybrid turbo

your offside tyre looks a little under pressure.

 

[badbill_uk]

yeah good spotting it was 24psi pic taken in summer i have had new tyres since and check them every week now damn pot holes around here lol

 

[cupra.al]

i made the mistake of not checking mine quite as often as i should hit a pothole and popped my tyre made a small mark on the wheel too only the other day,either way i think the tyre would of burst it was a massive hole in the road.

My Miltek CAT bypass pipe has arrived getting fitted in a weeks time was told by jabba sports that the miltek sports cat are good for non hybrid cars but restrictive for hybrids hence my 217bhp 511nm torque after they mapped it. Looking to get a rolling road done after bypass fitted to see if i need it mapped again should get 230-240 bhp from looking at all the other hybrids on here as they all have bypass pipes fitted.

Also Will at p-torque is getting hold of a DIY map box so i can store 3 maps and switch between them Going to have factory map, eco map and fast map. Just need to save up now

Nice downpipe! Should notice a big difference with that on.
That switchable map thingy sounds cool too!

 

[badbill_uk]

Thanks, yeah i hope it sounds better with it on aswell i have a non resinated miltek exhaust system and to be honest only tiny bit louder than standard with sports cat on. You have the petrol fr right sweet never seen one yet bet it sounds good when pulling off ?

 

[Gooner_Mike]

You have the petrol fr right sweet never seen one yet bet it sounds good when pulling off ?

Oh yes! Gets some nice burble and pops from the exhaust when lifting off or the TCS kicks in when pulling away from a wet roundabout!

 

[badbill_uk]

Nice Really miss that exhaust rumble from petrols. Hopefully mine will sound bit more like petrol after fitted. Went for test drive in the new ibiza bocronegra and loved the exhaust sound that made.

[badbill_uk]

Hi the aerial just pulled off. Screwed it out then yanked it and wiggled it till it popped out.

 

[badbill_uk]

Car def feels quicker with bypass fitted. Want to get her on rolling road to see how it's effected power curves.

badbill (same name ) , how do you adjust the height of the factory HIDs? Does the in-car regulator still work?
As far as i know, factory HIDs are auto-adjusted if you install the full kit.

 

[badbill_uk]

Hi m8, the manual light adjuster in the car still works as normal with factory HIDS, to adjust the beam setting there is an adjuster on the light themselfs little white thing with teeth on simular to the no hids lights but slightly differant place if i remember rightly. i just had my first MOT as car is three years old now and it passed after having the lights adjusted on a beam setter. I was worried it might not as no washer or auto adjuster.

 

[killbill]

Thank you my friend. I intend to install factory HIDs in the near future and your information was very helpful

 

[badbill_uk]

Your welcome Its an easy install the light connector from standard lights just plugs straight into the HIDs and job done.

I thought its time i got a video up. Took this on slightly wet road condidtions on a private lane so didnt want to go to mad.
