Progress made on Project Barry

Looking much better mate, if the glue doesn't come off from where the spoiler used to be, I guess you'll have to buy a standard tailgate and reposition the number plate!

For some reason your car has early MK2 Ibiza 1.4 rear lights, the standard ones are shown by surculation and a few others.

jib has been rumbled by the mk2 masses lol

I like bodykits Nothing to be ashamed of

I like some bodykits, as long as it isnt one of those over-the-top,lairy types or people trying to create something that there car isnt e.g trying to turn a corsa into a jap car by sticking one of those jap bodykits onto it.

Yeh i got the rear lights from the scrappy after temporarily loosing mine.

Things have gone bad to worse now. Yesterday i lost more brake fluid. I couldnt see the leak but found it today and its the bottom of the brake fluid bottle AGAIN. Even with the new bottle it is doing it. So i believe the problem lies here:

yes that strutbrace is touching it. OMFG the strutbrace is hard to get off. Ive given up on this side:

i cant get to that 10mm bolt and that other one refuses to budge, i just cant keep hold of it hard enough with the grips. I only have one 13mm socket. so its either one for the bolt, or one for the nut. it sucks sooo bad. So im going to have to wait till tommorow for a mate to come round.

Can anyone suggest a strutbrace that i WONT have problems with.

Wierd, mine stopped the coolant cap coming off but cangetto the brake fluid no probs.....

 

[Jamin Berry]

Anyone tried to fit the ones that came standard on the mk3 cupra R?

 

[Jamin Berry]

Is this Inferi Black?

 

[Boi Ninja]

isnt that the one that shakira designed? i doubt its infiri black mate,

 

[m0rk]

Is this Inferi Black?

Yup - that's inferi black

Mk3 Cupra strut brace will sit even lower, because the turrets are lower on the mk2

 

[Electro Ted]

Yes! Another Ibiza saved from the depths of hell! Good work fella, it's all worth it in the end.

My strut brace doesn't touch the brake reservoir cap or come anywhere near the coolant reservoir cap. Although, it does get in the way of the brake fluid cap I can still refill it.

Can i have a link to where you got it? How hard was it to fit it yourself?

Thanks.

NO.

 

[Jamin Berry]

Where can i find OZ RACING GENUINE CENTRE CAPs for my wheels? Cheapest on ebay are 7.99 EACH. thats nearly 32£ people!

 

[Jamin Berry]

I found out how to get that bolt off!



Well that sensor;

was only held on by the strubrace, so i just pulled it out. What is it? Anyone know? Where are yours held on?

 

[Jamin Berry]

Bolt can easily come off now:

the bottom of the sensor, i dont know how or who damaged it.

Strutbrace off:

The seal isnt perfect, so when i move it about it dribbles abit out. ill see if it loses more without the forces of the strutbrace on it.

How do i get a bolt out of my hub that has snapped? Just grab it with plyers? or is there a tecnic?

 

[MarkW]

The best way I'd say is to buy a bolt removing kit from machine mart. They're like little drill heads that you drill/screw in on a dye, once they've dug in they start to screw the bolt out.

My friend has some I've used . If its an extremely high tensile bolt I'm not sure. Can you fit two nuts on it? Thats always a good trick!

Sorry dude, it was on the car when I bought it.

Any answers on that sensor? I get the feeling it's immobiliser related..

 

[Martin M]

That sensor is for the alarm i think.

 

[Jamin Berry]

WEll its disconnected and my alarm isnt going off so we are ok!
