Mani bolts are a right bugger aint they haha. Get a Kaaz or wavetrac. Depending on how good you are with a spanner but fitting one wouldn't be something I'd attempt to fit myself though probably best trying to find a supplier that will fit it also.
 
did it as you said mucka. 3 turns of preload. after setting it up at the 14 thread mark.

any way unfortunatly i have sorta come to an end with the cupra. contemplating selling it just now as I cant justify spending more and more money on it.

looking at possibly a 123d msport coupe :) something still fun but economical and newer. would love the new a45 amg :) but at 40+k slightly outa reach just now.

I want to get an old escort, mini, or an Mr2 turbo to restore in the garage for a weekend toy.
 
Just spotted you in Inverurie about half 4? First time iv seen your car in the flesh bud, looked really shiney. You know you'll miss it if you do sell, but all the best whatever you decide.
 
I kept telling him he will regret it if he sells it!! Should keep it even if just for weekend toy as he's put so much money and time into it.
 
cheers everyone, i will be hanging around don't worry. maybe in the future i will revisit the cupra's will see. anyway here is a look at the new motor picked up yesterday :)

Looks stunning mate, good choice. Any plans with it or just enjoy? Amazing cars already! Maybe have a squint when i nip up with cash for parts ;)
 
why don't you keep the Ibiza as a weekend toy. You will miss it, hence why I bought my old Leon back

Was going to say here here on this one as I'd buy my mk1 leon back if I could find out where it went to but I see I'm too late. Any car will eat your wallet but I don't think you'll be putting control arm bushes into that any time soon. And sure beams are dirty anyway :D. Just park her in the farthest space in the car park at the supermarket. Saying that, whenever I park this way and there are a million spaces, some plebe still parks beside me with a small gap to access/exit their vehicle. Just hope their Kate Moss and not Pavoroti :lol:

Good health to enjoy.

Iv emailed you about the cupra dude, I sold my track car but now missing it, cheers Ross
 
^^^ lol yeah, Will get some winter wheels nd Tyres.

Ok so not posted on here in a while the cupra is virtually all gone just the shell remaining sitting on axle stands.

I have a few little bits left still to sell, brembos, oz super t Wheels with Tyres, and twin nomad pod with gauges.

Any one got any ideas what I should do with the shell? It's so clean it would be a shame to scrap it.
