Very Nice Ibiza you got there Rash! was rather privileged to see it in the flesh at the Milton Keynes Mega meet, shame i never got to have a spin in it, but from what Mike was telling me it rapid.

have you been running the standard clutch on 349bhp untill now?

I thought i remember reading you had uprated that when the big turbo went on?

anyway, good work!

your car is a minter!

 

[Ad Lav]

He had a stage 1 then it slipped and is now having problems with the stage 2 clutch...

 

[stuart86]

very nice car mate

 

[CupraElliott]

Absolutely stunning. And that's an insane amount of power!

 

[rashcupra]

@air121005 as adlav said i had a stage 1 spec clutch when ihi was fitted and got major clutch slip so got it uprated again to stage 2 spec clutch but have had a faulty clutch fitted so spec have supplied a replacement could run that power on standard clutch be dead

@stuart86 & CupraElliot & waugh thanks for the comments! should get car back this weekend!

 

[CupraJimbo]

Awesome!!!!!

Dude, it looks awesome!

I've only just got my Cupra, literally a week ago and despite not wanting to touch it its already happening!

I'm learning as I go at this point as its my first 20v Turbo and i'm loving it but wondered what tyres you have on that (size would help if poss) and also were you got that excellent bonnet bra from as i'm needing one to protect me from the daily commute!!

What ARB's did you opt for as i'm currently considering some to go with the possible purchase of some Koni top adjustables!

Any pointers will be much appreciated as its costly when you buy the wrong bits!

Thanks
Jimbo

alo

ive got perelli p7000's 204 40 17 on my cupra i like them as they last forever and grip well in all conditions but arent AMAZING im happy with them!

bonnet bra is custom made from a trimming company bloke has died so no longer available but autobra do them i think! or you can go to a trimmer near you.

ive got a jabba rear arb on the rear but tbh its not all its cracked out to be imo!!!! specially £205!!!!!! there is a new whieline arb just come out and costs half price take a look its not as thick as the jabba arb but looks good!

front arb you imo dont NEED changing as the cupra has a 20mm arb anyway but can be uprated to a fabia vrs arb to get 21mm or go the full hog with eibach for a 24mm one!

strut brace off seat dealers (£49) 20mm hubcentric spacers rear arb & coilovers is A GREAT SETUP imo really holds the road and im happy with it!

fancy doing a remap?

 

[CupraJimbo]

ah ha

Thanks mate thats a great help - especially the legendary looking Seat Sport strut brace, i'll be purchasing one of them bad boys asap!

Also, i'm liking the stance with the 20mm rear spacers.

I notice from the engine bay shots that you've kept you airbox on which with over 340bhp makes me think thats more effective than an induction kit. What have you got inside it????

Also, any exhaust suggestions and is it a much harder ride than standard???

 

[rashcupra]

ive not gota standard box actually

ive got the pd160 diesel cupra airbox as it has a 3" maf outlet ect and the 20vt has an ickle 2.5 then ive smoothed the fins inside the airboxfor more airflow and replaced thestandard seat air filter fittament for a green pannel filter (£40 iirc)

as for exhaust what you sugested on anouther thread the miltek non resonated cat back is a great choice but imo id save up a bit more and get the sports 100cell cat aswell as this really does transform the car it revs quicker and goes better to very costly full system at about £450ish! but a great mod!

the coilovers are harder the lower you go i found that my fk's were much more comfortable and handled alot better too but now im sitting like this VVVVVVV

it is very bumpy and rubs a bit but willl be raising it back up when i finally get my car back!!!

 

[Mat]

looking mint Rash! Loving the bonnetless shots

 

[revo]

I'll see this wheels on you car.
