Cheers guys!

Install date has now been confirmed for the 4th so im on track to be all maped up by mid april aslong as Bill can fit me in :D
 
Yup all fitted mate hopfully dropping it off to Bill sunday for him to start the mapping.

So boring driving off boost all the time! Managed 42mpg tho on the way back from dunstable!

Typical had my first coilpack go today, first one in 2 years!
 
Excellent! getting there slowly then. Bet you cant wait till sunday. How longs Bill gonna need the car for? Presumably the car runs ok with the 3" maf housing without been mapped to suit? Have you got any pics of it fitted?
 
Car looks ace Benny!!! I bet you´re excited on how she preformes when all done:)
Did you send your k03s or a regular k03 to CRturbos for hybrid treatment? asking since k03 has 2 vac. lines and k03s only one.

Prebs

Bill`s told me hes going to need the car for approx 2days to complete the mapping, yeh car runs 'ok' with the 3" maf housing although im taking it uber careful staying off boost N75 disconnected etc..

Cheers mate,

I sent my std k03 to them, they uprate the actuator to a garret style one rated to 14psi
which also has 1 nipple.

Well today i dropped her off at Bills ready for him start the mapping, Im hoping that there are going to be no troubles with the mapping. The ECU came out of a mk2 ibiza with the 20vt lump so Bill said there could be problems somthing to do with the immobiliser it can still be done but may take a little longer but hopfully all should be fine and ill have it back somtime next week!

I cant wait im like a fat kid in a sweet shop :D

Once shes back ill be getting some WIP pics of the bay, i must say i really like the matt black already.

And some decent stopping power to go with new power! :D
 
Think I'd be a fatter kid in a sweet factory if I were you! Can't wait to see the the results for my future reference. What have you done black in the bay, or is it a secret!? I got mat black spray for my rocker and possibly mani. Might try it next weekend?

So far i`ve done the rocker cover and charge pipe and rad filler neck and TB - oh and my hose finishers :D I think im going to keep my mani polished, im just not to sure if the strut brace is going to remain chromed yet or not :think:

Havent you got that k03s on yet!
 
cant wait to hear when it gets back from bills, seriously thinking of doing this so will be good to see the results of your little creation! all my bay is in matt black apart from blue pipes etc. need to do a readers ride thread soon!!!

Ah don't... I can't wait to get it on, just had no time on my hands! Trying to decide on 2.5 or 3" DP with sports cat?
 
Cheers mate, im hoping Bill can work his magic too...

Im hoping theres going to be a local`ish RR day otherwise i think ill have one on my own - it would be nice to know all the time/money has paid off.
 
The ecu should be fine, Martin's car is running full mk3 set-up including immobiliser so should be plug and play :)

Hoping to get mine to Bill in the near future for a tweek or two
 
What brakes you going for B3NNY?

Send me a pm if you decide to change the colour of you strut brace, i have a standard red one and it doesnt really match the blue, could do with a chromed one ;)

I`ve decided to stop beating around the bush and just go for a set of brembos from Bill after having 2 sets of porsche calipers, last set wouldnt fit under my 16`s and the first set the disks didnt fit inside the calipers my bad for not checking but i made my money back on both sets so lost nothing!

I think the strut brace will be the last thing to go if it does i`d like to see how it matches everything else before i decide what to do.
 
Re: sllipping clutch

Hi mate, have seen that you suggested soapy water for slipping clutch, can you tell me where you put the soapy water in?
I have a 2002 Ibiza cupra 1.8 20v and clutch is slipping really badly.
 
let me know the results mate, as I am too off to Bill's in May hopefully to get my hybrid k03s fitted and mapped :D
