ian_cupra's progression thread - track time

[ChrisCurzon]

Just need to get your new manni ian, any idea yet on when thats gunna be?

But that a pretty impressive time on the standard manni

 

[lm_gauci]

Should be there with the diff and mani then, get a set of semi slicks and you'll be laughing.

 

[ballenapene]

Thats a very fast time!

 

[rich.h44]

thats well impressive mate well done!i think my may get low 12s maybe high 11s with diff and manni and some slicks

 

[cuprabaz]

well the car once again impressed me, managed a 13.16 @ 110.8 at pod today

Well done mate, that's a cracking time

 

[beattie17]

Good time, what sort of bhp it running now?

 

[ian_cupra]

cheers guys

power is in my siggy mate, waiting for high flow manifold to get it upto proper hybrid power figures

 

[cuprabaz]

Is that you fully lightened now?

 

[ian_cupra]

not fully, need to get a proper seat, door cards are coming off, and all the sound deadening is coming off plus dash is coming out to remove the air con stuff behind there and all the sound deadening too, but dash will be going back in

might remove front and rear crash beams too, but front will stay on until i do another 1/4 mile day

but thats not for a long time yet, all the stuff i took out for pod is going back in this weekend, its my daily drive at the min

 

[cuprabaz]

So a fair bit of weight still to come out then I'd be a little cautious about removing the crash bars especially the back one for track days.

Get yourself a heat gun and some decent tar remover for the sound deadening

yeah think they will only come off for 1/4 mile runs to be honest

was looking at the thread where people posted how they removed it, looks like a good day or so's work to remove all the sound deadning

 

[brad1]

i saw your car go up the strip mate pretty impressive times for your figures, good going and it sounded lovely

 

[ian_cupra]

[turbo009]

[SEATCOOBER]

wheres my back seater lol, looking good bud!!! need to do some logs on mine soon!!

 

[ian_cupra]

when ever i'm in at at work mate, trying not to use it much as minute, getting lift into work, but normally on fridays i'm in mine, as my lift stays late on fridays.

plus be difficult to take you out for a spin in it, as there is only one seat

 

[Ibiza125]

right picked the part up at 10.30, and all was fitted by 11.30, including a 20 min drive home

happy now, although its a royal pain in the tits to fit that spring!

I second that! I compressed it with cable ties to get it in, then struggled to snap them! They always snap when I don't want them too, and now they don't snap when I do want them too...

Nice looking car! Love the drilled holes behind the numberplate!
