My Mk2 Ibiza GTi 20VT Track Car Project *The end is here*

[Martin M]

how do you manage to buy all these goodies? lol

I still live at home and have nothing else to spend my money on!

good price was it?

HoocH

Not too bad, cheaper than it was direct from Quaife.

 

[Martin M]

have they got another one

Probably do mate! Isn't your box different to mine?

Can't wait to get it fitted but i think it'll be a month or two before it goes in.

I thought you had no money what with the turbo problem

I've got money, i'm just unsure of what way to go with the turbo as i've got a few options. I've also never been happy with how the car handles, so i didn't want to be 300bhp+ just to stick it into a corner and lose it.

The handling is what's kept me off of track rather than the power.

Fair enough buddy do you know if they do diffs for mine?

I'm not sure what box yours has mate but i'm pretty sure they could get you one!

 

[roly]

I knew you'd end up buying it, i bet it's fitted before christmas

I'll pop round in the next 1/2 hour and pick up my bits if that's ok mate

Haha. I'd obviously like to get it on asap but it's the bolts and fitting costs that are stopping me!

Yeah mate no problem, i'm doing nothing!

 

[roly]

Bolts are sorted and im sure John could probably aquire suitable washers, you can tell i want something else to do!!

Just gotta go get juice and i'll be round

There's still loads that can be done on mine mate

I just want the diff on, it's annoying it being sat in the box!

 

[roly]

I'll start the search for parts next week then we'll have it fitted by the end of the month

 

[Martin M]

Cheers dude If you can get a price from John for fitting then i'll defo make sure i've got that too.

Just making a list of other bits i need and still need sorting!

Thanks I can't take all the credit as Ben (Roly) has done a lot of the work.

I'll be at meets and more trackdays/shows next year.

martin, what have you left of the ibiza's that you and ben stripped?

 

[Martin M]

martin, what have you left of the ibiza's that you and ben stripped?

Not much mate, mainly interior bits and a few engine bits. What are you after?

 

[crezz]

tbh i done know, i was after a dash but is a tad far to travle lol..what engine bits you got?

 

[Martin M]

I binned two dashes not so long ago. Not really sure on engine bits, nothing massive as most of it i sold. I've just got a few boxes of bits left. If there's anything you can think of just give me a shout and i can have a look for you.

 

[Martin M]

I stripped the interior out today to see if i like it without it before i go and spend out on a roll cage.

Also ordered a voltmeter gauge that matches my boost and oil temp gauges (sadly it's a christmas present ) so will be ordering a Cupra R center colsole mount for it next week ready to be fitted at christmas.

The car is still using alot of oil so i'll be monitoring that over the next few days.

Sadly i've just got alot of ideas at the minute and not enough money to action them

 

[roly]

I bet you end up giving Mr Branson a call and doing everything in 1 go
