Tall-Paul's yellow beeza- Leaving the VAG scene!

[Tall-Paul]

Yeh i suppose it does, although the camera sounds slightly different. At the nwvag meet lastnight people we saying how it doesnt sound like a diesel but has a really deep bellow I couldnt imagine how loud it would be without the back box!

 

[Altech]

Car looks great mate, your wheels look like they're exactly the same colour as mine. It sounds really good too...hopefully mine will sound similar in the next few months

 

[Tall-Paul]

Yours look darker than mine, im thinking of getting them done a metalic black but its gonna cost £30 a wheel to get them redone. You'll have to go milltek if you want to sound like me.....funnily enought ive got a downpipe for sale

 

[Altech]

I did like your old wheels as well, being 17s I think they suit the Ibiza more. But slam wise 16s are good.

Have you thought about spraying the wheels yourself? I did a full refurb on my vRSs and it only cost me about £50 in materials and paint. Yours may be even cheaper if you just redo the faces. This is the guide that I made if your interested

I don't think my budget will stretch to Milltek so i might just go for a full mufflerectomy with a MK5 R32 twin exit!

Car looks and sounds great bud. wish insurance would allow for me to do similair stuff to mine without having to pay an arm and a leg. Also found this video under the related videos on yours.

How good does that sound.

 

[Tall-Paul]

what's that? sonds like launch control!!!! but isnt lol

 

[Tom.]

Not too sure to be fair mate. Like i said just stumbled accross it after watching yours.
Whatever it is it sounds great.

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

I refurbed my wheels myself too! Altech copied me.
Na i think he did his before actually.


Do you still have the middle box on your car Paul?

 

[Tall-Paul]

I think i'll giv it a go myself then, did you have to take the tyres off?


I had a look at my exhaust the other day when it was on the ramp being checked out for something and there is no middle box lol. Just a back box Maybe the resonated bit is the back box? and non-resonated may not have a packed (silenced) back box. I always thought it had a middle box

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

I always thought it had a middle box

They are meant to have two boxes yes!

And yes you'll need the tyres off - but you'll need other rims to ride around on while you do those.

 

[Tall-Paul]

I might give the garage who supplied/fitted it a ring to see, im not to fussed though. Looks like ive got a non-res then lol

Resonated is more expensive....

 

[sooty22]

that noise is the limiter my car does it..... otherwise sweet motor mate!

 

[Tall-Paul]

What is pops and cuts out really fast like that?? How come it does that? Mine just stays at the limit, holding the revs.

 

[sooty22]

its a liliter it does not cut out just pops ait like an electric limiter i think because when allards mapped the car they put a false liloter on....he said that if i go into the wrong gear it wil not blow it up

 

[cupraajy]

really liking that bud!
makes me want my cupra lowered! need a splitter too!

 

[crezz]

that rolling shot is cool

 

[stani540]

car is looking great mate, joe said your going to be running 32mm thick discs on it.

decided not to get the yellow one in the end and got a blue on and am loving it

 

[Tall-Paul]

Cheers for comments

I went for 28mm* 310mm in the end, should be ALOT better than what ive got at the min. Should have them on soon, pics to follow!

 

[Tall-Paul]

New brakes arrived today!

I ordered a complete new brake kit from Hi-Spec a couple of weeks ago and here it is! I got 310mm disks which are 28mm thick and 4-pot 'monster' calipers with the 30% bigger pad. First impressions are great, the calipers are much bigger than I thought they would be abd the kit seems to be really high quality.....just got to fit them now

(compared to the size of my wallet)

(not sure if the disc is put together correctly lol)

This is how they fit the wheel

Will let you know how they perform once fitted
