Yeah thats my old one looks alot worse than it was but enough for the insurance company to write it off high millage and age, the cooler is a really good kit wanted one for my new one but no more A&M so went pro alloy instead, want alloy pipe work though.

 

[Matt S!]

Nice stack of parts you have waiting to fit there ....

Thought it was yours when you mentioned the fire. Yeh the cooler is awesome bit of kit flow's so well and the pipe work weights nothing at all

Yea nice stack of parts should be fitted by end of week

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Bet that's a right rocket.

 

[Reuvers]

Wow really nice car. Really like the replacement charge piping as well.
However do you not have a TIP?

 

[ChrisCurzon]

It is a little rocket, not sure how quick yet but will find out

Yea do have a tip if you look at the at the strut brace, near where the coolant bottle used to be will see filter and tip is there

 

[ChrisCurzon]

Bit of an update again!
Fitted my coilovers today, didn't take as long as i expected, and went slightly easier than i thought it would
The rides nice as well, its not too hard
Only problem is my alignments out now, so it pulling to one side, but its going into Awesome on Monday to be laser aligned, so hopefully it should all be sorted soon!

I think the heights just right, not too low and not to high

Next to do is the brakes, which is a job for Sunday i think

 

[arron2004]

[ChrisCurzon]

Cheers Arron handles miles better now

 

[David_smith_909]

cars looking good lowered, have you adjusted the hight of it or left it the same as i had it setup? (looks the same)

cars getting their now, happy happy days (you always said you wanted my car, well now you basically have it.... but in bits )

EDIT: il still need your old suspension at some point for a day so i can move my car

 

[ChrisCurzon]

not too low but just low enough.

Been a while since I last updated the thread, so sorry if it seems to go on for a while, but been mega busy trying to get everything fitted and the blowing problem on the manifold sorted out. Well finally got there in the end

I decided to try and get the car booked into the garage to sort the blowing manifold out as I have tried for ages to stop it but with no luck, so its been away for over a week, but picked it up today and its running perfectly, finally!
This was causing the problem

Well ive refurbed the brembo’s, so that they were yellow and black to go with the car, then attempted to fit them, this didn’t go so well as the brake lines were seized on, tried everything I could think of but they didn’t want to come off and seeing the state of my standard brakes i decided to give them to Awesome to fit, who ended up replacing the whole brake line from the abs unit, but I’m just happy that I finally have some stopping power lol
Then had to get some spacers sorted out for the front wheels as they wouldn’t clear!

Then today decided a clean was in order, as it wasn’t looking to great when I picked it up, so gave it a wash today

 

[ChrisCurzon]

Then had a few of things to fit - my braided fuel lines, new coolant bottle and new bulbs for the gauges as my old ones hardly lit them up, so got this done too

Oh and finally got a picture of the new intercooler fitted, been meaning to do this for a while lol

Sorry for the long update, but its been a while
Let me know what you think

Chris

 

[jamiebennett81]

lovely example Chris

where did you get your coolant bottle?

 

[ChrisCurzon]

Thanks mate

Bought it off a mate of mine who was selling it a few weeks ago, as mine had gone a funny shade of brown lol

 

[cupra-neil]

where did you get the braided fuel lines from and what size did you get?
