Yup, lots of my time and Bens.

I haven't really touched it for a few weeks though. Fitted some solid exhaust mounts on sunday which have cured the little rattle it had and gave it a hoover. It'll get a wash this week and a tidy up and check over before Autotuner at Brands on sunday.

Just saving for a diff now

its looking better and better all the time mate,how you been?

 

[Martin M]

Cheers mate. I've been alright, just working a lot and trying not to spend out money on the car as i've just had to renew my insurance.

You okay? Spoken to Ben today?

 

[ryank]

I might take mine up there one day. I'd be interested in it's 1/4 mile time but i can't launch!

He's up at JBS for his remap but having a few problems it seems!

 

[ryank]

thats not good.im sure he will get it sorted,cant wait to see how it goes when all done

 

[Martin M]

Just a few pictures of the car on track at Brands from the weekend (Thanks Dan)

The handling of it still isn't great so the main aim now is to get that sorted. New trackrods, trackrod ends, bottom ball joints and get it all aligned properly after fitting a diff and coilovers too. Just need to get saving now

[Martin M]

looking cool as ever

Cheers Ian. Everything i've got planned for it now is expensive, so the updates will be alot less frequent

 

[roly]

Hurry up and get spending mate i need something else to do

 

[ian_cupra]

[roly]

I think it's suspension and diff next, i just want someone elses car to work on instead of mine

 

[Martin M]

Hurry up and get spending mate i need something else to do

I wish i had the money to spend! Give it a few months and i'm sure i'll have something!

ooo what else is on the cards for it then?

Yup, as Ben said, coilovers and diff next.

Thanks Paul!

They're O.Z Super T's. They came standard on the Mk3 Ibiza Cupra R's so are Brembo friendly I had them refurb'd in BMW Steel Grey.

 

[crezz]

yeah i had a set of those, brand new, never even put them on mine, sold them before i had the chance, if only i knew how rare they are!

 

[Martin M]

I think you can still get them from a dealer, but they're not cheap! I didn't want to get them painted at first but i'm glad i did now. I'd still like a set of 16" Compomotive MO's though.
