**Breaking** 418.5bhp (Parts list pg24) Joe's (GT3071R) Ibiza Cupra R
- Thread starter joehirth
- Start date
Little update - I'm away with work for the majority of the coming week and insurance runs out this month so I've decided to take the car off the road of of today and start doing some work on it.
Plans for Christmas/ New Year are:
- Grind down, paint, polybush and fit new hubs, disc guards, discs to a spare rear beam I have.
- Fit bucket seats, harnesses, harness bar and roll cage.
- Thinking about getting a Peloquin diff and Rear anti roll bar too but that might be waiting for a few months.
I went on the rolling road at Marlin Motorsports in Milton Keynes this weekend and made 418.5bhp with the TT Forum
After that I went to Silverstone to meet a mate and PureGT, met a few decent guys down there along with some SERIOUS metal, pictures to follow.
My mate (who drives Renault Cup cars for them) took my car out for 5 laps at Silverstone and it really highlighted to me a few handling things which need to be sorted out before I give it a go myself!
Oh and btw I've bought a full OMP roll cage - thanks to 4wdibiza.

I know LOL fools! Although they got the number plate right.
418bhp lol not too much of a handful then Joe
What cage have you bought, Mk2?
Ill have to join you on some trackdays next year, my aim to do as many as possible
It's a handful with standard diff haha!!
I think James.Judd.1 is up for some track action too Berg so we should get together and be Ibiza friends
My racing mate said he's willing to give me lessons too which I can't turn down.
This guy also used a MAHA dyno and had mental transmission losses...

Interesting there, I think that might be down to dyno lottery. I would of thought it was probably closer to 400bhp odd. I will take it on some other dyno's to try and get a more accurate result of the true power.

Lol i can imagine
Ill be going to Nurburgring again late summer you should bring yours over
Jesus mate! I didn't know you were running that kind of power! Love this car, looks top! You're forever working on it aren't you!
some nice figures you have there, cant wait for mine to be done now doesn't look so good when its been tucked up in a garage for 16 months lol
Sorry to bump this old pic up mate, but where did you get this paint from? Is it from a can?
Cheers

Can't get enough of it, I said I was going to spend next year saving for a deposit on a house but I don't want to stop the project yet. As for power I was hopin for 400bhp really, anything more is a bonus
Cheers
my gearbox has standard, but brand new, internals. At the moment without a diff I don't think it's taking that much strain because the wheels are allowed to spin. Once the diff is fitted I'm not 100% sure on how long it's going to last Cheers Gaz, hopefully you'll get back on track with yours. Once you start it's so addictive, you'll remember the feeling soon enough.

LMJ - it's hammerite black of some description, I think hammered black is what it's called. Got a lovely sparkle to it though.
Haha, I'm assuming that the deposit's out of the window for now then?
Spray can is it? You didn't dismantle it prior to spraying? (Anal I know!)

Well yeah - it is
No I didn't bother, it didn't really need it, just a spur of the moment thing when I had the paint in my hand.
