rashcupra's 349bhp mk4 cupra

[rashcupra]

it is a massive step and a flamin costly one too will also take the whole year and probably a snip of 2009 to complete it but i feel that it would make mine one of a kind and also give me no limits on what i want to do in the future

guessing il be getting a written off a3 quatro or tt and welding new floor pan in and then all the electrics and shafts ect swapped over redesign the exhaust ect ect ect massive massive job and a real headach but hey what a mod!

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

be running around the same for now.
but much more reliable

the plan over the next few years is

2008-get car running 350bhp reliably
2009-internals and bored out to 1.9 will be completed
2010-4x4 convertion :shock:
2011-massive turbo 450bhp+

Nice to hear you'll be keeping it for a bit then....

Jeez fair got some plans ahead of you rash, all sound good.

Just dont write it off with all that power at the wheels!

 

[dancupra]

nice plans rash.... unfotunately my wallet isnt as deep as yours but good luck for the plans you have got matey as for jbs's stuff and how they done things on you car..... ill just say i take it you will be removing the jbs stickers off the manifold etc now?
Jabba do imho have a better rep than jbs anyways so good luck with them doing the car

Amazing plans for the Cupra rash.

Hopefully you should be able to get some info on the 4-wheel drive conversion on the web, as their have been a couple of companies who've converted a Fabia vRS to 4WD and ofcourse the Fabia WRC is 4-wheel drive.

Best bit is that is you would be converting the rear suspension to fully independent which combined with 4WD should make for one seriously good fun handling car.

 

[h17och]

the jbs stickers are long gone. lol

as for 4 wheel drive.....IF (which i doubt) i keep mine i will also be doing it. had a good price on it

 

[mixupz]

how much hooch??

 

[h17och]

they wanted to use my car as a demo and make a kit for the mk3.

£2000 and i supply all the bits

 

[mixupz]

hmmm why dont u du it then mate??? sounds like a great opp

 

[h17och]

have you got 4k lying about ? lol
i havent. trying to fund 2 project cars and 1 run about aint cheap.

also like i said i doubt im keep the ibiza.

 

[rashcupra]

h17och send me the number for that company 2k sounds soooo tempting also need your mob no as ive broken my phone lost it mate

jabba so far have been brilliant but only time will tell

 

[diss_50]

h17och send me the number for that company 2k sounds soooo tempting

hahaha!!

 

[mixupz]

sounds like..rash will prob have a 4wd 350bhp mk4 ibiza by the end of the year...!

 

[Guinness]

JBS really bad then? Was going 2 get some work done by them but this thread has put me off a bit, with the unreliable talk

 

[danmay]

god there's plans and there's PLANS, as for as this goes it's a PLAN

 

[beattie17]

4wd would be awesome

 

[rashcupra]

your all feeling the 4x4 then

mixupz wouldnt say by the end of the year maybe end of next year tho looking into a3 quatro 1.8t's now will need a written off one as il need pretty much everything

fuel tank, floor pan, prop shaft, driveshafts, wiring, sensors, diff's, rear suspension omg sooooo much BUT it would be certainly diffrent and allows me to increase the power further down the line

guiness im not commenting on your question

 

[Matty.]

I would say just buy an A3 and convert it, but i feel half of the forum may come after me... aha

Plans sound good though mate, cant wait to see them in action
You still working on interior/styling of it? Or is that put on hold for now

 

[rashcupra]

youd exspect an a3 to be 4x4 as its standard so its not a big deal but in an ibiza which is probably lighter than an a3 and has never been in 4x4 production really would make it a jaw dropping car i like having things that are diffrent! so doing it to an a3 yes would be 1 hell of alot easier and cheaper but the final outcomeis bland this is somthing that will take time and alot of money id imagine!

the styling is on hold yes specially as il be cutting the floor out ect people will rightly grill e for not just buying an a3 or a tt but i want something a bit more special

I certainly won't. Mucho respecto for what you're doing. It's good to be different. Most people don't dare to be...
