Tom.'s Darkside Developments big turbo'd Ibiza TDI

[adam kelly]

Ad. Its running about 170 i think. Done a fair bit since last RR though so who knows.
We will be bringing your cooler sunday all being well. Going to be packed in my car with all the
stuff im bringing.
Mat. Already seems good mate dont you worry. Got near on 150 miles on it tonight alone.

BKR. Yeh may come down bud. Give me a txt tomorow. Should put my mileage up by about 120 miles.

what else ya bringin apart from alot of clothes to wrap up in cause its goin to be freezing like last time i went to jap show and a old guy hit the wall with his s2000

 

[Tom.]

Considering bringing a second pair of wheels as well. Got some 15's that came on the car with quite high profile tyres. Think these would be better to be fair as i can let a bit of pressure out to get a bit more grip.
Dont worry ive been doing my homework on this 1/4 mile business

 

[adam kelly]

hope ya was pleased with your times as wel would of liked to take im down might do it next time dont no yet theo .

 

[Tom.]

Good to meet you too mate. Hopefully not the last time.
Could tell the second i accelerated in second gear that it wasnt mapped. Didnt quite have the urgency about it of a mapped car. Will be good when it is though.
Glad your happy with the cooler too. Just need clutch and a stage 2 map now.

Yeh fairly happy with my times to be fair. Cant really complain at a 15 dead. Certainly wasnt down to my launch as my 60ft time was 2.2seconds which is pretty respectable from what i believe for a FWD car.

Proper link

Helping you out a bit mate. Nice run, golf sounded good

 

[Tom.]

Ah balls didnt realise it had turned out like that.

Cheers.

You tashed it 0-60ft and/or reaction time!

He ran a 14 dead? Cant have been a standard one, you should get them to change the title to "R32 vs 5 door diesel"

De-wipered.

Got a bit bored tonight so decided to have a ride to halfords for some rubber gromets.

Heres the result:

De-wipered.

Only broke one clip when removing the plastic interior panel, but its one of the end ones so doesnt fit great now. May get the super glue out another day to sort it.

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

I am thinking about doing this! Then pikey'ing up a spray for the FMIC.

I took the trim off once and broke loads of the clips. Bought a new trim and didnt think of de-wipering. Don't want to break the trim again so may leave it for a bit!

 

[Tom.]

It looks a lot cleaner on the back end now.

Yeh im looking into making a pikey IC spray. No doubt me and ballbag will sort it on both our cars, so will let you know how it goes once its done.

Just thinking of disconnecting it from the washer bottle (if possible) and re routing it from there instead of taking the whole lot out the car.

Will then get some washer jets and mount them in the cross member.
