My ibiza cupra ihi track car project

[gatecrasher3]

Looks like a proper track slag.

I'm assuming that the throttle body was modified for a cable to allow the use of DTA?

Do you have any info on what work was carried out to change to cable operation?

 

[nathan.]

Nice track car mate.
What track is that at?

 

[Alps Pacino]

i thought that the 20vt poblems with the dump valves were due to the standard managment, mine is on dta.

I'm not sure about what was involved with the throtle cable oonversion but i could pobably find out, i think the peddle box has been changed but not sure which one is being used or what throttle body it uses which would be usefull for me to know really.

The pics were taken at croft whe dicko had it

 

[Alps Pacino]

Forgot to say i should have a few pics of the cage sometime today which should be well underway or finished by now. I'm away working on sweden at the min and cant wait to see the pics so hopefully they will be here today for when i get off shift at 12 mid day

If you are able to get any info it would be greatly appreciated.

i notice your running a split r dumpvalve ?? does the car like this as i have found 99% of the 1.8t dont like atmosperic dump valves ??

[Alps Pacino]

Interior's looking well butchered, good work!!

Do you have any pics of the polycarb windows? Any issues?

 

[Alps Pacino]

I haven't got any pics of them, i was only home a week then back away working now. I should be home mid january so will have pics of the windows and a few other bits i've bought and hopefully a finished and painted cage by the end of jan

Liken the bumper mate.

 

[Alps Pacino]

ye its surves a purpose, i'm going to look into some form of brake cooling ducting when i get home. Might not be needed bt worth a look. The **** thing about the bumper is that the toying eye cap has been smoothed in so i havent got a form of towing at the front of the car, this should be sorted hen i get home and fit my trs towing strap though

 

[gazcuprablk]

can you get some pics of the cage up m8? how much it cost etc and if it runs through the dash or around it pm me if you dont want to discuss on here price

 

[Alps Pacino]

i dont have any pics of the cage as i'm away working at the min and i'm waiting for him to send me some. The cage is 1100 all in and will probably go through the dash as thats the best way to do it apparently, he said he hates "dash dodgers" lol

 

[gazcuprablk]

lol i know what you mean but i want a fast road part trackday car that still has the speedo climate controll and radio as i use it everyday and not so keen on butchering my dash to make it fit cheers tho m8 and make sure you pop some pics up of the cage once fitted

top work keep it up

Sounds a good idea for a track car mate, did u have the bumper made like that or was it that when u bought it??

Yea notice that, worth it tho looks sweet.

Would like something simular myself

 

[cuprabaz]

Ok no bother. Which ones did you go for? Any fitting issues?

 

[Alps Pacino]

Rab the bumper was like it when i got it, it look salright but tbh the gaps are to big on the sides so looks a bit odd when you get up close casue you can see everything that is normally hidden by the bumper.

Baz i went for the plastics for performance ones and i dont know about fiting issues yet as there still sat in the box they arrived in lol

 

[RabReith89]

Oh right... serves ur motor a purpose tho, and looks mean as fook lol.

Noticed ur charge pipe is heat raped, i not long done the same

 

[cuprabaz]

Noticed ur charge pipe is heat raped, i not long done the same

Is it legal to rape charge pipes?



No worries mate, did you go for the tinted ones?

 

[RabReith89]

LOL you sure mate...
