GarryGti's Mk3 Cupra

[GarryGti]

My Cupra actually clean.

In the really nice dry summers we are having i managed to pick a day where the sun almost came out and me and my bro finally got some good pics.

Finally this is the engine now i'm going to one day get the SAI out and remove the n294 and n112 with resistors and get rid of the black tank above the water washer tank and maybe move the battery and washer water into the boot.

Hello all,

I've been a member on here for a while now and i've thought it was about time to put a progression thread up. I bought the car with a few modds now i'm inproving on it. some pics when it was real cold.

Done a little tidy up of the HID ballest.sprayed the inter cooler black whilst my front bumper is in the paint shop.

Please forgive me for the poor quality pics.

Passenger side had a perfect place to mount the ballest.

Drivers side wing ballest hidden under water bottle

I'll get some pics up of my smoothed bumper when its on.

Next on the to do list.
Got the resistors for the n249 and n112 and the forge blanking plate and 4mm vac hose. That will be done when i do the cambelt @ auto barn

4 wheel laser alignment @ west tuning to come when i have spare cash.

On the hunt for some Cupra R brembo's

Removed tha Sai unit today and blanked it off. check the pics how we done it.

Look at the at the state of the work shop! Its like working in a muddy feild ah well its a place to work.

Engine bay before we started.

We cut the pipe first the pipes from the pump to the engine then set to work on the bracket that holds the pump in there is three nuts to undo bit of a piant to get to. 7mm allon key. First we done the bolt near the dipstick.

Then do the 2 above the pump

Then move to the block

What we done to get the part off the block is undo all the allon key bits but one won't come out unless u take the water pipe off so we just cut it.

Put the plate on

Hear are the ressisor in place on rocker cover just to check its ok the no problems

I'll clean the bay and get a fully finnished pic up next

 

[GarryGti]

Cleaned it up.

 

[GarryGti]

Dont know if i should powder coat the altinater cover red or black or get it polished??

 

[cuprachrissy]

if you can get it polished but i prefer black, all m engine work i done in matt black so im a bit bias! mint looking bay though

 

[Mat]

how did you get it that clean?

 

[GarryGti]

autosole then some metal polish with a bit of p2000 grit that i had laying around work done the job a treat!

 

[turbo009]

Very nice and clean,your alternator cover would look good in red,or polished up!

 

[GarryGti]

She's been sold now! and i well regret it!!

 

[GarryGti]

Update!!!!!! Bought the cupra back!!!!!!! Its in a poor state now In need of some body work, well dents removed and respray!!! Had to get the cracked Manifold Replaced with a JBS cast one and cooked the breaks with in a half hour cane so Got a set of highspec 4pot 325 x 30mm disks off ed38 now it stops but makes the rears look so tiny. The delightful red seats needed a clean but when dont they!!

Just put on. Wheels getting reconned in a light gun metal grey and Prada spec2's all round

Have had problems with boost as the actuator was moved when the mani was put on so was only making 21 psi peak! Wound it back to hit 24psi now. Although i'd say the Atp Mani lets it spool up quicker but the Jbs has more of a thoaty sound to it.

 

[GarryGti]

Redone the wheels in gun metal
