ian_cupra's progression thread - track time

[M87NER]

haha true, mines one after the other with problems.. mines fine now.....except for limp mode lol

 

[ian_cupra]

thats one thing i havent had yet (touch's wood) which is good, even on the track all day it didnt once go into limp mode, just blew manifold gasket

 

[gttdigolf130pd]

Hows it going with the car Ian, I saw it round by the training section today.

 

[ian_cupra]

all is good really, had no problems with it since putting the standard manifold back on, apart from the clutch pedal. just got to wait until jbs have made this new manifold then we'll see

hows yours running?? still loving the new power?

yeah was on guard training last 2 days

 

[gttdigolf130pd]

Yes I'm well pleased with the map, but Clare recons it needs an LSD since I’m getting wheel spin in 3rd when it’s damp. But I think the next job is a pair of ARBs, may be an LSD next year

 

[ian_cupra]

yeah, i'm definately in need of a lsd now, 4th sometimes shruggles for traction, bit worrying

defo get the arb's though, made a massive difference on mine

 

[ian_cupra]

right, small update, made FMIC did more stealth like (pics are not the best due to the crappy light)

before:

after:

also i gave the engine bay a much needed clean, was minging from driving to work and back, alot of crap off the road getting through the front and all over everything so defo needed a clean

and also, i finally got around to sorting out the play in the steering, was the usual 2 bolts on the join in the steering column near where it goes through the bulkhead, no play anymore

 

[Reuvers]

Looks great mate.
Almost looks like there isn't a IC anymore lol.

Bay looks very good as well!

 

[ian_cupra]

Almost looks like there isn't a IC anymore lol.

that was the plan cheers mate, only thing that gives me away now is the brakes and the stupidly loud turbo whistle

 

[Reuvers]

you know you like the turbo whistle lol

 

[ian_cupra]

o yeah, i thought it was loud before, but the hybrid is silly loud

 

[Mat]

monitor at work is poo, and was using old phone yesterday.

will look later - nice to see the bra on. 1st pic without it looks strange. Must be first time i've seen it without bra LMAO

 

[ian_cupra]

you'll see it tomorrow anyway mate

it didnt have the bra on at cadwell it fact i hardly ever have it on, should put it on more often me thinks

 

[Mat]

now on a proper monitor LMAO

looks sweet as dude!

 

[ian_cupra]

cheers mate, just want to hide it from unknowing chav's

 

[Mat]

your sooooo gonna get owned by the next corsi sxi or saxo vtr LMAO

 

[ian_cupra]

prob, as he has so little power he can get traction

 

[R1ch85]

My car is at JBS for the hybrid treatment at the moment! can't wait to get it back! If it goes anything like people say yours done i'll be well pleased Only one issue with it at the moment, the high flow manifold I bought doesn't fit so I'm having to stick with standard for now. I'll be getting a flow one as soon as funds allow, don't know whether to go for a tubular or the new JBS cast one though.

 

[ian_cupra]

get the cast one mate, i'm getting rid of the tubualr one in favour of the cast one

you'll love the hybrid i'm on standard manifold at min and its still great

 

[turbo009]

o yeah, i thought it was loud before, but the hybrid is silly loud

your hybrid is crazy Nice pictures your engine bay i could eat off it and like the idea what you have done going black on your FMIC your car looks even more meaner in a good way that is lol
