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

[adam kelly]

Yep the undertray is still on. It is very low to the ground though. Think i have 3 threads left on either side but thats only a couple of mm.
Im running FK's too. Which ones you got? Highsports by any chance?
I went for the sport edition plus as they were not much more and had adjutable damping. Highsports may possibly go slightly lower?

yer i think i have the highsports think cant remember they were about £400 or somthing they do me feel alot better than standard ones by far.might wait till summere and take undertray off and see how low i can have it i might take the cups out of rear aswell get t even lower.ya will see it hopefully on sunday anyways think the rears go down to 110mm or 125m cant remember

 

[Tom.]

Yeh sounds like highsports. Not taken the adjusters out of mine. Dont feel the need to as mines more for the performance than looks. I do like its current stance anyway apart from im wanting to space the rears out.
Yeh hopefully see it on Sunday.

 

[adam kelly]

yer i had to space mine out wheels looked lost lol went for 20mm spacers yer ya should see me sunday and my crap body work what needs sortin lol

 

[Tom.]

Trust me i know all about bad bodywork. Mines in need of some TLC after someone did a bit of a hit and run a few months ago. Waiting to get facelift bumper and get it all done at once though.

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Its crap isnt it. Ah well. Just cant wait to get my clutch in now as im fed up of easing in the power up to 3k.

I want mine to sound like sooty22's. His is manic on the limiter! Just bounces, sounds awesome!

 

[Tom.]

Clutch update.

Right well a slight update on the clutch situation.
Was hoping it would arrive today, but no such luck.

Good news is its been sent out for a pre 9am delivery tomorow, direct to my dads place, where its being fitted.
I just cant wait to have a full useable rev range again.

 

[Tom.]

Another thing I have planned is to powdercoat the wheels. I'm very tempted by a few different options but wasnt sure what each would look like so got Mat to do me a few photoshops of different colours.
Would like peoples opinions on them please.

Anthracite:

Black:

Blue:

Green:

Pink:

Red:

White:

Thanks to Mat for doing these for me.

ho dear bet mat will be brickin it now when at pod

i like the first colour but think the pink looks beautiful

 

[Tom.]

Cheers for input bud. Im swaying towards black, but im strangely drawn to the red as well.

 

[kenny_fr]

Black wheels would look sweet and theres always the option of changing the
colour again if you dont like them.

 

[Breezapom]

the green would be quality to be honest well for a trackday at least

 

[adam kelly]

red could work never seen it on a ibiza befor.ya will see my wheels on sunday i just mixed some paint up and painted them dont no what colour it is theo

 

[WildChild88]

Anthracite or black!!

 

[ballenapene]

I like the first one best, then black. Or pink haha lol lol

 

[Mat]

Dude, you need to get pink or lime green

should do a burberry scheme LMAO

what you gonna do if clutch doesn't get fitted 2moz?

 

[Tom.]

Clutch WILL be fitted tomorow. If not will maybe run standard unit until ive been to pod. If its not fitted in time then there will be hell on.

Helix have already had grief from Sarah at awesome about not sending it out yet.

 

[Mat]

would you run standard unit at the pod tho???

 

[Tom.]

Yep, dont worry your not getting out of the embarresment that easy mat. Been practicing my launches earlier as clutch is coming out tomorow. Got them pretty good too

 

[Mat]

I've not practised. **** that!
