Mk4 Ibiza Cupra

[Marcus_550]

Got my 15 posts so will put a project thread up, Own a 57 reg Mk4 ibiza cupra in inferi black, got it with black wheels and some stickers on

First day


had to go back to get a new 1st gear bearing and gear selector shaft, no clue what the hell the previous owner did to it but after that its been spot on

on with the mods

K&N panal filter also drilled and smoothed the airbox out


Carbon Wrapped The S badge


Then invested in some porsche caps


Smd side lights


On with some red vac hose


Wanted some more red so invested in the seat sport strut brace


Shorter arial


Did a few other little bits like number plate bulbs and interior

Forge Dv 008 came along, great buy at 100 pounds brand new


Then a creation motorsport tip, start making some turbo noise by then

 

[Marcus_550]

Decided to tint my lights

Fogs


Indicators


Rears


Then i set about repairing the steering wheel




Shift bushings came from the states and a creation motorsport short shift




Made the gears very close together

Fitted a boost gauge



Time to lower so bought some jom coilovers and braided lines and splitter







Then fitted a filter, ran like **** and took away torque and power, sounded amazing but soon came off



Piper decat and down pipe


Audi TT mirror

Bit of fabric wrapping









and a bentley ciggy lighter


Painted abit of trim silver


added some glove box lights


Got some porsche rims for a steal, sorted some tires and adaptors out






And last but not least, piper straight through


any comments appreciated

looks very smart this is the only inferi black ibiza cupra i know of other than my own.
do you have a vid of your exhaust i can imagine that being very loud having a complete straight pipe.

 

[Marcus_550]

cheers bud, yeh does seam a fairly rare colour, just one of a few revs when it first got put on, noise has changed now its bedded in and pops and crackles somet shocking, goes on for ages but i love it, silencer goes on tomorrow

 

[Marcus_550]

lil bit of a update

got the calipers painted


started doing all the bypasses just waiting on the blank to come


painted fogs and top grills satin black


had to bang filter back on and my airbox was getting pulled over and coursing it to snap


also got some new porsche caps to go on


thats all for now

Thanks very much matey, trying to get it ready for stage 2 now, diff, clutch n flywheel, better discs and pads and tfsi coil packs just all money

 

[rae1001]

Stage 2 will give you plenty smiles im sure! Thats what it is, money, money, money.
Do the tfsi coil packs give any advantage? Heard mixe views on them.
I have a mk3 with tonnes done to it, i got my stage 3 paddle clutch from usa, cost a fraction of the price and works great

 

[Marcus_550]

haha hope so, the mods iv done since getting it standard have made it more lively but doesnt blow you away, came from a stripped out 180 bhp fiesta st so this feels on par on the motorway but cupra is quicker round down due to the torque, ill have a gander through ur thread, iv had a look at the techniclutch carbon ones so might get that for 225 quid comes with lightened n balanced smf, do you have a lsd ?

 

[rae1001]

Ahh. The cupra will be a lot more able, probably just a little more work keeping it in good running nick though
No i dont have lsd yet. Saving up now though. I have a spare gearbox in my lockup so when i get that rebuild ill hopefully have lsd put in at same time

 

[Marcus_550]

yeh got the belt to do and give it a service before it goes to apr for a map, heard nothing but great things about a lsd like, you will need one with the bigger turbo n higher horse power haha

 

[rae1001]

Yeah, loads of people on here saying its the best thing theyve ever done so must be worth it haha.
Yeah i definately need one, its forever spinning up haha

while im sending you links if you havent already get yourself one of these http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/for...iza-6l-cupra-18t-cupra-19tdi-0202-p-7754.html made a nice difference when i had a 20vt as it replaces a very restrictive ic pipe its the top hose going to the intercooler behind the bumper.

 

[ibizacuprabates]

Looking good mate

not sure why anyone would say that check out post 107 of this thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=280661&highlight=seat+sport+fmic+top+hose&page=6 in that thread there is proven before and after dyno graphs as well.
when i fitted it i found it pulled harder on boost if i remember right i think i posted the difference it made in the link above.
its not a difficult part to fit at all aabout 45mins to an hour thats with putting the tools away etc.
