James T's Mk5 Ibiza Cupra - Selling up - who wants my parts?

[JamesT]

Sold!

 

[JamesT]

Updated pics now added as I've been playing with the new camera.

I'm not a fan of the OEM wheels or ride height. Some Pro Race 1.2's & coilovers are now on the agenda...

 

[CJ1985]

Looks good. Be even better with the planned mods

 

[JamesT]

Maybe something like this -

That is one beautiful motor you have there, I have the same car just wondered if you could tell me what springs you used and the height you've put them too, plus where on earth did you find the side skirts

It was only a few touches, lowered and changed colour of the wheels, get rid of the numberplate, and darken the fog light.

That's how I want it to look though. Am thinking about getting KW V1 Inox coils but doubt they would go that low!

 

[JBYRNE94]

Yeah that's fair. I wanna lower mine but also saw some 3sdm wheels that only do 18" and god knows what the ride quality would be like aha, keep me posted on what your doing would be good to see what you do with it

So a little update -

I took this out today.



This is the "soundaktor". I wanted to hear the real engine sound rather than something made up. The car is a lot quieter in the cabin without it. I prefer going au'naturale.

Couple of wobbly videos I made whilst on a German autobahn...

Really starts to struggle over 100mph, maybe that's it showing it's a 1.4 afterall. Or maybe I'm expecting too much?

 

[mjstokes85]

Your car looks great!

 

[JamesT]

Thank you mate.

Small update - fitted some FK 15mm rear wheel spacers. Thanks to Damian @ DPM

Before -



After -




Just need to get it lowered now!

 

[jreedy]

It doesn't hang about at all that mate

Impressive acceleration for a little hot hatch

Will look even better if you get the wheel done darker.

Cheers mate, yeah it's decent for a 1.4 that's for sure. Still returns 47mpg on a run, cheap to tax and insure as well.

Going to order some KW V1 Inox coilovers I think. Then will look to get the wheels done.

 

[JamesT]

Just a small update.

Ordered and fitted a Porsche 911 oil and coolant cap -

Before -



After -



Also, ordered some 10mm spacers for the front wheels.

Got a whiteline rear ARB coming.

Plus ordered some Eibach Pro Street Coilovers.

 

[MattMK5]

Don't hang about do you!

Car looks nice bud, look forward to seeing it on eibach coilovers, as far as I'm aware I haven't seen one on them yet.

Cheers mate. There's a 2-3 lead time for them to be made up, so expect pictures next month!

Piece of piss mate.

Passenger side under the scuttle right next to the top of the suspension strut.

1 x 12 or 10mm bolt, take that out, and unclip the wiring harness. Done!
