My K04 hybrid powered MK2 Cupra Sport track slag (it's now left the building)

yeah laguna intercooler with custom pipework and map sensor housing, was interesting cramming it in but all fitted once the angle grinder came out

 

[Romeoisgraham]

well done........ some cash spent I suspect !!!!

 

[roly]

far to much!! and it doesn't look like stopping anytime soon

Really nice engine conversion there, nice colour too. Was the dash conversion difficult?

 

[roly]

Bar two of the mounting brackets not lining up the rest of it bolts straight in, internally the MK2 & 3 shells are pretty much the same

I remember seeing the build on another site seat enthusiasts or something.

Hey look thats my seats in your car.lol.

Guessing the full cage is the reason i have the rear strut brace

Little update on this weekends fun

I've removed most of the interior so i can remove uneeded wiring loom and sound deadening

Started off with scraping the sound deadening from the floor, a pain in the arse to do but much easier with a hot air gun and a scraper, next the dash came out so i could get to the rest of the sound deadening easier and sort out the wiring.

My plan is to remove any uneeded wiring such as airbags and air con looms to get the weight down a bit (okay it probably wont make a great deal of difference but every little helps)

Hopefully i'll have some new mirrors turning up in the next few weeks so the standard elecy mirrors and all wiring will also go.

The sound deadening i managed to remove weights in at 5kg

Yeah there was a thread from the build back in the day (almost 2 years ago now)

Once we'd made the cage there wasn't much point having the rear strut brace as the welded in tube was doing the job

Stunning car there Ben l

ooking into doing this conversion also, as father is a mechy along with his friends personal expeirence of cars

Well old cars though should be good fun

 

[roly]

It's good fun doing it, im no mechanic i just jumped in had a go and it paid off

 

[wilz]

Midnight Motors in your sig?? i thought you were some seat mechanic ot something, bluddy well done for managing that then

 

[tris]

I just cant belive you mate lol

 

[roly]

Midnight Motors is just something me and a few mates came up with, i work on my/their cars after hours and usually untill stupid o'clock in the morning so the name kind of stuck.

I work in what used to be a Seat main dealer as Parts and Service manager (we we're still a main dealer when i built my car)

 

[roly]

I just cant belive you mate lol

What can i say mate i was bored!!

I can't get the oil cooler sorted before Cadwell so thought i'd do this instead

 

[wilz]

Well the name makes sense then.

So acquiring parts wasn’t a problem for you then.lol

 

[Martin M]

Watching you set it alight was funny.

No that was the easy bit, luckily i've still got some good contacts in the dealer network so still get parts very cheap

Watching you set it alight was funny.

It was rather amusing i was having more fun doing it that way aswell

 

[F2 Stu]

Watching you set it alight was funny.

Again?

How?

 

[roly]

My pyromaniac streak!! before using the hot air gun and scraper i had the bright idea of brake cleaner and a lighter

It certainly covered and removed a larger surface area but parts of the wiring loom suffered

 

[F2 Stu]

Theres still fuel being pumped from the tank to the engine so its not that bad
