Swordfish103 introduction... Ibiza 6K2 Cupra, Leon 1P Cupra

[swordfish103]

Hi guys,

I've had an account for quite a while, but was mostly lurking around. And purchasing stuff though Breaking MK3 ibiza on Facebook
Since seatcupra.net is much more alive than the Dutch Seat forums, I'll try to get a bit more active here.

Name: Nick
Age: 26 years old
City: Ede, The Netherland
Hobbies: (In Car) Audio, home-cinema, fireworks, photography and of course: CARS!
Unfortunately I can't post any pictures yet, because I have less than 15 posts.

I currently drive:
SEAT IBIZA 6K2 CUPRA 1.8 20VT
In the non-metallic black color.
Milltek turbo-back exhaust with sports cat, non-resonated
D2 Big brake Kit with Frodo DS2500, steel braided brake lines all round.
KW Var. 1 coilovers
OZ Ultraleggera 17" with 5mm spacers on front, 25mm on the rear.
FMIC, Forge Tip, Forge DV008
Class 3 alarm
And a lot of other mods.

The interior has been removed completely and I've used Silent Coat to completely damp for my car audio. Complete floor, doors, hatch, roof everything is covered. Al plastic parts too.
My car audio:
Pioneer DEX P90r and DEQ P9r processor
Pioneer 12CD changer and iPod + USB adapter
Phonocar PHV16 voltage stabilisator (Up to 16V continuously up to 200A)
Northstar NSB90 battery
2X Ground Zero Uranium 4.125SQ
Ground Zero Plutonium 1.3000D
Ground Zero Plutonium 165SX compo
Micro Precision 5.8 MKII midrange
Ground Zero Uranium 12XI subwoofer

I've had a completely different Hybrid K03s turbo setup, but I sold this due to selling the car within a couple of months.


Around mid-december / beginning of January I plan on buying a Leon 1P cupra in Inferi Black.
There's already one on top of my list which I will test-drive in 2 weeks.

A little bit earlier than expected, but the Leon 1P Cupra is already in my possession.
When I take some photos and have enough posts, I'll open a readers ride thread / project page

Welcome along! Look forward to pics!

I'm not allowed to post any pictures yet...
Nor any external links. But the Inferi black color is magnificent IRL, but a tricky color to capture on camera.

Hope to see pics soon as I have swapped over to black myself after years of red, and think cars look good in that colour. Even my current bike is black too.

and as we all know, black is the fastest colour to have.
maybe the Dutch forum seems so sleepy because all the owners are in coffee shops?
just a thought.....

Hahaha thanks a lot for this perfect stereotype image Andrew


I'm part of a small forum, Team-Ibiza...
And because a group of 10 guys are all in a whatsapp groups chat, the forum itself became a bit less alive. And when people switched to a Leon they stopped posting.

But the amount of technical knowledge and also the offer in used parts is much bigger in the UK.

Already bought some upgrades for the Leon:
Forge oil catch can
Facelift climatronic
And in order to have matching colors I ordered the frame around the tacho, 2din fascia and the FL clima fascia. Since the FL colors are a lil bit off compared to the pre-FL silver.
