[Carcrazy]

Great transformation done.

It is some wht type of specialized engineering.

Great,Keep it up and thanks for the information.

Hi guys, thanks for all your comments, much appriecated!!!

Few parts turned up this week, including my Forge blanking plate so I can rip out the SAI and few bits to remove the EVAP!

Waiting on delivery of the catch tank so I can get on with that

That's a very nice ride man!!!
Found you're project while searching for the Dotz Radium rims on an Ibiza. They look really great.

Would you happen to know how much they weigh? Are they heave compared to the original wheels, or are they light?

 

[Righttoe]

sorry i dont know how much they weigh, i will try to find out for u!

 

[nils 6l]

Ok great

 

[Righttoe]

Little update guys, finally got rid of SAI, Evap and battery, and fitted catch tank properly!

With battery gone could then move air filter down

Battery Before

Live cable at boot and earth point drilled

After battery moved, catch tank fitted and air filter moved(needs new ss pipe tho)

In boot

Evap gone

Happy Days

Is that the catch tank that is advertised on ebay??

It looks like it is, just wanted to check. If it is what do you think of it?

 

[Righttoe]

yea it is, i find it very good, same one philw has i think, only thing is it can get a little oilly around it as the breather filter is right on top, but i just keep it clean there when i get a chance. its got a little sump plug on underneath so its easy to empty to unlike the others i think

Thanks. Ive been looking at it and thinking of getting one as Im getting abit of oil by the breather hole in my airbox on my 1.4 mk2. There iant any getting on the filter but Ive been thinking of getting it. Was worried about the draining side but Im happy with the method. It easy to connect up??

 

[Righttoe]

um im not sure on the 1.4, if its the same as the cupra yea its fairly easy, theres a few threads on here showing you how

 

[tarzan]

nice how many milimeters is the cable you use from the engine to battery??
we use centimeters and milimeters here in norwayis your cable around 50mm

 

[Righttoe]

um now your asking lol, i know its called 4AWG so if you google that you should get a answer somewhere

 

[CraigW]

Im wondering if you can help me mate. Did you make the bracket for the catchtank yourself?? Also what diameter is the hosing you used and did you have to buy it seperate?? Im just wondering incase Im missing anything.

 

[Righttoe]

Hi mate, no there is a bracket on the catch tank i bought, just a piece of metal with a hole in it, which convenitly fits directly onto the old bracket for the airbox on the cupra model, was dead chuffed, the hosing is 19mm which fits fine onto the engine side of it, but for where the 19mm hose goes onto the catch tank i used a bit of 12mm hose to act as a reducer because the connections on the catch tank are 12mm

Hope this helps

Completely forgot to post pictures of fitting my front mount intercooler, its a ebay one and wasnt to bad to do

Pics

I made some brackets to make it sit further back, but it then hit the rad, I havnt got pics of it now yet but ive moved the rad back so its striaghter, and its not got black honey combe mesh infront, looks nice

Looking for a set of brembo or wilwood brakes atm so if anybody knows of anything please let me know!

Also what pads would people recommend for the rear?

Mike

 

[Righttoe]

Bit of a update, been doing alot of spraying recently, my wheels were looking bit worse for wear so decided to re polish up the dish and repspray the centres Vauxhall Anthracite, didnt quite know what the colour was going to turn out like but I love it, also painted the bumper trims in it so it all matches

Wheels

Refurbed wheel with no tire against old wheel on the car

Will get more pics when all 4 are finished and on!

Some new rubber for them -

While the wheels were off I decided to paint the calipers as they were faded and chipped

And some new toys turned up, Great thanks to Badger 5 for some brembo grooved discs and ferodo pads

Will post more when all wheels are finished, and brakes are on!!

Just got paid and ordered 20mm rear spacers, some silvertec indicator bulbs cos my orange ones are knackered, new oil pressure sender because mines buggered, and on monday will be ordering a universal intercooler!

Bring on next week[/QUOTE]

Hi Mate

Ive just seen your thread and was just interested in what spacers you went for in the end. Im in need of some for mine.

Very nice car by the way. I really like the wheels

 

[Righttoe]

Hi mate, I went for 20mm H+R spacers, which I think is the most common choice on here with great reviews, but they were a little wide for the wheels i have, and it did catch the tire a little over bumps so ive just gone back to my old 15mm ones, i have the 20mm ones if your interested in buying them? If your running standard wheels should be fine, and no one else seems to have problems with them
