looks good mate. But you changed all vac lines, but why not do the n249 bypass while you're there?

 

[sparkie1984]

hi mate, bought it like that, otherwise I would of although it might be above me to do that! I don't even know where it is. Lol

Looks clean mate, hope you are enjoying it!!

Future mods sound good, wish i got round to doing them

 

[sparkie1984]

I aj, I love it mate! Was chugged with how clean it came out. Had cambelt etc done at weekend, water pump had 4 broken blades lol, so be warned people get it done!!!!

 

[AJ©]

ooh i didnt no that mate, could that of been costly if that had of gone?

 

[sparkie1984]

i dont think its the end of the world, but it was due anyway (i think its 60k?) and im one of them people who has to get things sorted (a bit weird)

the mechanic was saying they tend to go and the car overheats. but i had no probs anyway! he replaced it for the uprated metal one and did the belt, tensioners blah blah blah!

but worth remembering to get the belt done!

still well chuffed with the car mate! spent the money yet?

No mate sat in the bank till i get back from oz!

Found the standard DV and airbox in the shed the other day im gonna bin them unless you want to pay postage and have them?

Looks tidy mate! Coilys and spacers would be the next mods if it were me. Seems to be a lot of silver cupras popping up lately!

 

[sparkie1984]

yeah how much postage mate?

id be interested in them

 

[sparkie1984]

bump?

 

[sparkie1984]

fitted me forge tip this weekend:

new and old:

the other crap i cleared out of the engine while i was in there:

got stuck like this for what felt like ages:

catch tank roughly in position (note the insulation tape lol :

tip fitted:

obviously all pipes have been clamped down etc now but it was too late to take some piccies! so this weekend im gonna order some 4mm hose and tidy it all right up and get some new pics!

 

[Cupra_Martin]

car looks sweet mate, keep up the good work, you have it in the fastest and nicest colour too

 

[sparkie1984]

lol thanks mate

 

[sparkie1984]

does anyone know where I have to plumb in an anti vibation t piece? At the mo the boost guage is plumbed on the top of a little black plastic thing which I think is a brake hosev

 

[sparkie1984]

got a few new piccies today:

needs lowering now, and hopefully a stage 1 map this coming saturday, if i can find somewhere open

 

[Reuvers]

Still looks good mate.

try looking for some rear spacers maybe 20mm hubcentric ones. There was a thread discussing them called something like "20mm spacers" a few days back, with a link to some for good prices.

 

[sparkie1984]

thanks reuvers, do i need new wheel bolts then?

Looks good Simon.
