Tims Mk3 Imp Blue Ibiza Progress Thread

[Cupratimmy]

Hi guys Bought my Cupra back in April last year with about 77k on the clock was clean car and being blue i couldnt resist it lol. It came with a few mods, including Milltek cat back exhaust, forge 007p, and some crappy air filter and very pikey wheels.



Plans for the car:

-K03s Turbo
-Blueflame full exhaust system
-Ap Coilovers
-Rear Spacers
-Intercooler, (Pro alloy one possibly)
-6k Hids
-Relocate Dump valve & Intercooler piping
-Tart up engine bay

Current Setup:

Engine
-Custom Code stage 1 Remap
-Jetex Filter
-Milltek Cat back
-Forge 007p recirc valve

Body
-Leon Cupra R front spliter
-Colour coded Bumpers
-Bosh Aero Wipers
-Polo Rear wiper

Wheels & Suspension

-Refurbed Standard Wheels in Antharcite
-Toyo Proxy Tyres

After changing the wheels that were on the car ( trust me u dont wanna see them lol ) i took a few pics of the car. Then shortly after i bought a custom code remap from storm developments in reading. Best £220 quid ive ever spent lol! I also Fitted my filter and repainted my calipers as they were looking a bit sorry for themselves

I Then Decided to refurb my standard wheels. I choose ford graphite grey to do them . What a long, pig of a job it was to do. Certinally paid off tho!

Finally Tim, good lad - like the Leake Street photos also like your plans for the car, can see quite a few items on my car that maybe of influenced you to choose such things ...

Good luck

 

[Cupratimmy]

Yeah! Not sure wether or not to keep the milltek you know my downpipe/ cat is still blowing I got a quote from longlife exhausts for a 200 cell sports cat for £250 quid including fitting. Maybe I should go for that and tart up the milltek, needs a good clean lol not sure wat to use to get the crap off it. Would save a few bob for something else maybe =]

 

[mazzerati]

Looks ace, love standard Cupra wheels, stupid brembos

 

[Cupratimmy]

Yeah! Wouldnt front spacers solve the brembo problem with my front wheels?

 

[mazzerati]

Need about 15mm spacers to clear them :/

 

[Cupratimmy]

Grim. Don't really wanna change them either. I know high spec do em that fit cause Robbie has em but im told there quiet pricey

 

[Ads_Vag]

looks smart pal my alloys are exactly the same

 

[joehirth]

Very pricey lol well not too bad if you can get some secondhand! Longlife make some ace exhausts did my mates old one on his Polo and it came out really well, sounded just how he wanted it to.

 

[mazzerati]

Brembo' are hardly cheap though :/ replacement disc and pads are £310 and the kit is initially like £1600 lol

Hi specs are wicked though had some on brother fez, real good!

Why you want rid of the milltek?

 

[Cupratimmy]

It ain't loud enough for me lol! I wanna make it louder allot of the cupras on YouTube with a milltek don't sound all that interesting =\

 

[mazzerati]

Really? Get downpipe and decat and they are stupid loud. Can clearly hear mile from a mile away if I thrash it from the roundabout lol

 

[Cupratimmy]

If I get this sports cat from long life or splash out and get the milltek one you think it will be allot louder?

 

[mazzerati]

Probably not with the cat in, get the centre box removed?

 

[Zac]

Really like this mate

 

[Berg]

Nice looking car

Im looking at the HiSpec brakes too and to be fair they are much cheaper than brand new brembos
