Fresh MOT and tax for the car today, shot this fairly low quality video but you can get the idea of the box noise.



Tried on my other shoes too, they really bring out the Brembo's nicely

The box sound is amazing!!

New shoes look really good also. What's next then?

Cheers I don't have any major plans for power or anything but I'm toying with some kind of wide body as said in a couple of posts ago... need to be careful though, it could end in tears and look gash.

It's a real breath of fresh air after driving the daily 306 around for the past year and half though!

Yeah read that post, I like the look of Ibiza as it tbh, nice carbon bonnet would set your red off nicely

Have you missed a gear yet and ground the cogs together lol?

I'm not too bothered by the carbon option, it's an expensive item and the car is really being built as more functional than form now. No gringade yet

It is a great sound and yes I love the feeling I did it all.

I haven't updated in a while and I'd like to report by saying I'm having a great time in the car and getting plenty of track time. Ultimately I'm not, there's really nothing wrong with the car but I simply don't use it. I wanted to dedicate this year/ next to track time but due to holiday restrictions it means I can only go on weekend days (which there are basically non of)! Bit gutted really but I think next year I will be breaking it for certain.

If there's parts people want; start thinking or the car as a whole please let me know

That's a shame mate as it's such a nice car and alot of work has gone into it!

I understand if it's not getting used then why have it sitting there.

 

[wezza12]

That's a shame mate soon there will be none of these left the way there getting Broken these days

First dibs on engine lol

 

[scott5]

could be interested in gearbox/diff depending on price and when you'd want to sell it

 

[joehirth]

These things have to come to an end, also will free up money for bigger and better things

 

[R4cup]

NOooooooooooooooooooo

This was 1 of my favourite ibiza to date, shame to see this come to and end.

 

[chriscupra02]

You still got this

 

[joehirth]

You still got this

Hi Chris,

Yeah I have, breaking it in January.

How much as a complete car?

 

[joehirth]

Took the car to Silverstone GP this weekend, had a fantastic time after sorting out tyre pressures and doing some unintentional 360s to start with!

Had some work cut out with some of the cars pictured below. The car held it's own though and brakes were awesome, not a single hint of fade all day and they were hammered. One thing I did find out was that the ABS systems aren't great and seemed to kick in way too early, before the brakes had kind of done what I wanted them to do.



















Oh yeah, that's ice on the other side of the pit straight!







Couple of mates of mine hired this for the day too:





These were quick...









Really impressed with the car as were other spectators/ drivers on the day

 

[cupra.al]

not convinced you to keep it then?
