Elliott's MK3 Ibiza Cupra Update * carnage has begun*

[CupraElliott]

Pink Chris?

This was originally satin/gloss after the rattle can technique went wrong. So i got the spray gun out with some proper 2 pack gloss black.

Nice one are you going for more power? Bored of the hybrid? I'm not quite done with my hybrid just yet I got good figures at my local dyno

 

[CupraElliott]

I want more power so I am pointin towards a tdo5 18g which is a upgrade to the ihi so should see 360-370.

Chaaza, I will be selling my Miltek sports cat downpipe too, no good to me now.

 

[chaazza]

Iv already got a miltek dp and sports cat from James of here

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Mint cupra you got there
What rear arb you got mate and whats it off?
Awesome don't list the Ibiza in neuspeed!

 

[CupraElliott]

It's a 28mm neuspeed from a mk3 golf, got it from awesome.

You also need two little brackets to make it fit the Ibiza, badger5 sells them, or maybe awesome sell them.

 

[CupraElliott]

Will start stripping it next week.

 

[Damoegan]

You going BT?

 

[CupraElliott]

Not big big but enough to give me reliable Ihi power and a bit more, td05 18g.
