No late no problems at all. The guys chatting poop! I've even taken the helpers out of my front ones the other day and now it's sat on the bump stops so gotta cut them out now

Oh right! I might have a go myself
Have you got any pictures of them on mate so you can see how they're set up on the car? Like the strut without the wheel on or between the wheel and the arch?

Cheers

 

[phillpotts92]

Don't think so but I can try get one when the bumpstops get trimmed

Found a pic of my old coilovers mate :

Cheers mate. See these springs are flared, so like its small at the bottom and gets bigger but the TA technix springs are all the same size if you get me? And that's why my mechanic thinks he can't fit them

 

[phillpotts92]

You my friend need to change mechanics! This guys an absolute tool!

[Ellisimo]

i love your car, giving me a few ideas for mine! im thinking of getting a whole new set of pipes too..

 

[phillpotts92]

It's pretty easy mate just time consuming. And that's ok no worries. I have a link to all the parts I bought if you like

I see you have your MAF-sensor connected again. How did you attach it to your open air filter?

 

[joshy514]

On you Ibiza boy's tips, when you add a catch tank do you just blank the bit where toe original pipe goes from the crankcase breather into the tip?
why did i just read that you made your own boost pipe going to have to look into that now

Yea it will be mapped out propperly when I get my hybrid on tho. I just used a silicon 80mm coupler.

Yea you can do it that way or you can put the catch tank so it's just a pass through so you put the silicon hose from the tip to tank then tank to crankcase. Or do it like I have and blank the tip. What you mean boost pipe?? I have designed my own intercooler pipework if that's what you mean?

 

[joshy514]

What did you use to blank the tip? Same thing lol

 

[phillpotts92]

I used a door stopper rubber thing haha. Or you can buy a blank from auto silicon hoses.com
