Aiming for the Masses - Uzi's 305BHP Mk4 Ibiza Cupra TDi (MODs & Pictures on 1st post

FINALLY!!!
so after a long day at the garage finally got my car finished put the new calipers on, new pads on, did another oil change and bled brakes with racing fluid. car sounded absolutely amazing after starting it up.
took it out on a run and all i can say is WOW! bearing in mind the car has yet to be stage 3 mapped for turbo and other mods done. verdict so far
- new hybrid turbo is great, alot less lag and much harder pull (great whistle to it also )
- brakes are much more responsive with the fluid upgrade
- feels a lot smoother through the gears and in genral
- clutch is much lighter and feels better
- ride quality has been dramatically improved (got a few noises but thinik something is rubbing, maybe spacers will check it out in the morning)
the new map is due to go on next week, car is booked in for alignment tomorrow (needs to be done because suspension upgrade)
overall i am very pleased with the end result, despite all the delays and set backs, it was well worth it.
car needs a good clean and polish, so will do so tomorrow and get pics up

Have I missed something? Why have you got a new hybrid turbo? I thought you were running hybrid turbo anyway?

my normal turbo blew like a month ago and i bought the hybrid to replace it, along with many other mods...been fixing up car since turbo went.

here are the calipers, discs pads and hoses i bought...they were in black hence why i painted them again

washed the car and took some pics of it, nice and clean...still needs a good polish but thought i'd get some pics up wth the painted grills, and show you guys what it looks like with the suspension, spacers and calipers etc

will upload more pics soon, need to transfer the rest from my memory card

Cheers, gulo! Thanks for all the help, even though u did most of it, painting grills and callipers! We now need to do some quick logs see how the air intake is behaving!

I am pretty sure that was you behind me heading into giffnock there. Showing off as we got close to the speed camera!

If not then someone has copied your car in ever detail!

yea the back end looks awesome, feel better on the road too, wider track, better handling

yeh black roof would really set it off, if u try urself and it dont turn out right, dont matter as the bodyshop would have to strip it down anyways, thats why i decided to ask my bro to do my bumper lip.....
