rashcupra's 349bhp mk4 cupra

[rashcupra]

18s will defo work!

anyways update on the car

ive hidden all the hid's and neatened all the wiring

also replaced the weeping rad and the fan and have got the front end back on the car via bumper, new headlights and intercooler pipework (red silicone hoses going on with ali piping)

ive payed for all the intercooler piping just waiting for arrival also forge map sensor pipe is on the way and my custom bits to make a new boost pipe for rear of engine is on route aswell!

engine torque damper (to illiminate futher turbo gaskets going is also in the pipeline having to make custom brakets from the strut brace and engine mount for that! will look GREAT when on tho!

modifyed the front pannel to gulp more air in! by cutting all the other restrictive flaps and grooves! as you know the wheels are being picked now still making final decisions!

front mount intercooler has been re polished not a siny as i wanted but oh well

front bumper as had the front grill moded so now has honeycomb all the way along so red pipework will now be visable and also get extra cooling

not much to do now and she'l be ready for the road again

Top work mate

When I got mine I said to myself that I'd leave it standard but cant help doing things to it all the time. Before I know it I'll be going for your sort of power. Every time I see your car I just want to go and max out the credit cards. Damn you

 

[rashcupra]

only more to come

 

[Damoegan]

Whats the plans power wise mate? Leaving it as it is or going for more?

 

[Matty.]

Go for 400
Haha

Nice work rash, good to see its getting back into shape

 

[rashcupra]

power plans at the moment are to get the 350 i have running reliably with engine torque damper and then if funds allow i will get internals done and push for 400 area just tidying up the conversion i currently have with the intercooler hoses and custom boost pipe im making, imagine i can hit 400 on the turbo i have, by just uping the boost and of course intals and bored out to 1.9

284 BHP per ton... impressive

 

[dancupra]

Looking good rash cant wait to get mine back, its in the garrage at the mo having service and pads done whilst im on holiday in the dominican republic, but will spend some time on her when im back next week

You made the right choice to keep the ibiza. How about 18" BBS lm replicas?

 

[sooty22]

i love the vs wheels! as for the car just a work of art!

 

[rashcupra]

lm's are nice but more exspensive and imo not as nice as the ch's or the vs-xx's also ad lavs already done that

 

[beattie17]

replicas

 

[Matty.]

Why go replicas, when real things give you the satisfication of knowing you have them lol

 

[CupraJimbo]

Well played mate! 400bhp Ibiza would be truly awesome, may even stand more of a chance with a Typhoon in a Top Gear shoot out than that dog slow Veyron! Super car slaying Seats are the future

 

[Altech]

That bumper grille mod looks familiar! Looks a lot better with the honey combs cut out doesn't it

yer took me litrally 10mins tho took you hours of agonising drilling and filing! i just belt sanded the back bit off

replicas are bad new laccur peel and no near as good as the real thing if you cant afford the propper stuff dont get it

 

[rashcupra]

gonna be a busy weekend for me just got back from picking up some silicone hoses! (thanks h170ch ) also got my map pipe through from forge and my boost pipe that ive gotta custom make as the standard 1 is just hilarious and restrictive!!

pics anyways! VVVV

soon to be boost pipe VVV

map sensor pipe

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

SO glad you're keeping this beast! The Golf was a great project car but the Ibiza is just an all round beast.

You have some nice mods lined up mate. Why did you get new headlights? The old ones steaming up?

I'd like a SEAT sport intercooler for mine. At least then it'd clear the fog light.

Looking really good though Rash. Keep us updated.
