My new Mk3 Ibiza Cupra Yellow

[jonnyblease]

Hi,

Some of you may have noticed i posted that i had just bought a blue Ibiza but to cut a long story short i didn't buy it and began the hunt for a new cupra. I have now found one and picked this one up before excitedly posting another thread. So this really is my new car;

Mods so far;

Star performance remap nearly 200bhp and 251 ft/lb of torque
15mm wheeel spacers (rear)
Green cotton panel filter
HIDS 6k
Momo 280mm scene wheel


I used to have a 6n Polo so this is abit of an upgrade although i did love my polo and it did well for me winning several show and shine trophies;

With this car I plan to put an oval exhaust on it (miltek) if they make one, Coilovers, proper air filter, boost gauge and eventually change the wheels nothing major but i will try and do lots of little touches to it. Im a clean freak so it will be getting a full overhaul throughout the week and a machine polish before Tatton NWVW on sunday if im lucky (and if gareth is reading this thread )

What do people reckon, any advice/mods i should do?

Looks like you have yourself a minter this time!! Looks so good standard I wouldn't want to mess with it.

But it has to be done!! What are you looking to do with it?

I do feel a little less inclined to mess with it as its so clean standard but that won't stop me. I think first thing is too give it a whack with the lowering stick. any suggestions for good set ups?

AP coilovers seem the way most seem to go. But it depends what you're after. If you're looking low go for them or better. Or if you're looking for a decent height with better handling go for a decent set of shocks and springs i.e. H&R or something else in that price range. You get what you pay for basicly.

thanks, i have been looking at AP coilovers mainly tbh, im after some boost gauges whats the best one to go for? I quite like the digital boost gauges with the bar rather than the numerical output

To be honest I think it's just personal preference with gauges. They are all pretty accurate. I personally went with some retro Nomad gauges

Nice and clean that, exactly what i wanted when i was looking for mine but couldn't find any!

Just keep it nice and clean mate, mods like the polo and you cant go wrong! That looks really nice!

First mod i did was the N249 bypass, then fmic. Just ordered some AP coilovers from awesome so il let you know in week what they are like

Nice car mate, very tidy. AP's get the thumbs up from me, cant knock then at all!

 

[jonnyblease]

Its good to hear some positive things about AP, il get some ordered after i get paid.

Noob question but i have read alot about the N249 bypass what exactly is it and what are the advantages of doing it. Forgot to mention the car has a forge re-circ valve on it i am thinking about getting a forge splitter valve instead though just for the noise

Nice example you have there,

You will have to go for blueflame or supersprint for an oval tailpipe desgn, the millteck is a twin tail pipe that suits it well in my opinioin.
