Alex's Ibiza

[TTS Roadsport]

Latest Bits:

Sump all fitted

With a new strainer as the old one was gettin on a bit and for £5 its worth doing!

Tapped the oil return feed on the catch tank so the braided line could be fitted

Finally got these bits in the post today. Eccentric top mounts and rose jointed track rod ends

Hopefully get them all fitted at the weekend once my new track arms arrive.

they going to fit under the strut towers? (diameter wise)

one of mines cracked thru its ally housing on the top (bearing trying to come out of the top)

Just noticed you've sold your K04 setup Alex, what you going for now then? Its obviously more power, something from Backdraft perhaps?

 

[cupra-neil]

where did you get the tt charge pipe from and was the fit ok with the pro alloy intercooler?

 

[DPJ]

Any updates, Alex?

[MichaelMr]

Track Rod ends for me too!

Group order possible?

Hooch - what fitment do i need - I couldn't figure out why that new set of yours was too short last time?

 

[h17och]

i think SEAT have fcuked up and there is 2 part numbers for the ibiza rod ends. ive yet to come across a car with the short ones but i didnt realise it was the short ones i had lol

you maybe better off with the standard ones. these aint cheap and your car is pretty standard. ur choice tho

 

[Backdraft]

The rod ends aint cheap. Around £100 a pair. I can get a definative answer when i get back from holiday.

Ive got loads of pics to put up, but no time as ive not even packed yet!

Sparco ones? Where did you get them from? For mk2 ibizas?

Its been a busy few days getting the Ibiza all drivable again after doing the worst job ever on it. Sound proofing removal. I picked up a Red Top 40 off one of the 24 hour drivers we had and chucked it on the boot. Had to weld in some brackets for the tray to sit on. I even welded bolts onto them so its quick and easy to remove ! Enjoy the pics...

I also managed to pick up another carbon seat for the passenger side. I had a fibreglass one in there before. Less weight is the best weight

I wish none of this thread was related to T TS Roadsport. Mods can you help?

Alex I love you car. So nice. And eventhough it puts out extreme power (what is the bhp figure by the way) it still looks great as well. Often the small details are left out on those cars but not this one.

really nice.
