Project Buzzin Hornet - Complete!

[antnee]

I thought I should start a progress thread to keep you guys informed whats happening with my Ibiza

Picked this 2000 1.6 Sport up last weekend

Its standard bar cupra badges and powerflow middle and back zorst which gives it a really nice tone.

So got some bits for it last week,

Osram night breaker bulbs
new left old right

Hard to tell from the pic but they are much better.

Next up were some Aero wipers (Bosch Aerotwin retro fit)
before

after

They are such a good buy, clear the screen so well!

Then yesterday I gave it a semi-good clean, needs a proper paint clean but it will do for now

interior

and at night (love the red lights)

And the engine bay

Just love driving this thing! So much better than the diesel Golf I had before!

More updates as new bits arrive!

 

[antnee]

Stubby!

Old

New

Looks loads better I think, was only a £9 one of ebay too!

And a beading shot!

 

[nam]

looks good mate, very clean

looks nice I've got a yellow ibiza sport aswell. Let me know how you get the paint to look after a proper paint clean as I have some fading too. Rob

 

[antnee]

Gave her a wash today as she was foobaring dirty! (british winter for you!)

More pics are here http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g138/antnee-m/Seat Ibiza/


Also on the paint correction, I think Im going to leave it as I think some bits may have been resprayed, so it would look worse. May get the car resprayed in the future though. At the moment, the fading is pretty constant accross the whole car so its not too bad

 

[Mat]

looks nice bud. better in life

as i said last night, coilies, spacers and lcr splitter

maybe colour code bumpers and skirts

 

[chumsofmanutd]

Yea I'm thinking along the same lines regarding the paint, after a wash it looks good anyway and the fading isn't too noticable so I think I'll leave it for now.

 

[Daymo]

looks good so far mate, is the power flow zorst specific to your ibiza or is it a universal jobbie??

 

[antnee]

daymo-I believe the zorst is a custom jobbie

Got some more bits done

Before

During

After

Still needs a metal bracket to support it (cable ties FTW!)

But the most important mod,

 

[Daymo]

has the induction made any difference?? i.e. throttle response and the like? how much did it set you back? is it a 1.6 specific one?

 

[antnee]

Small update, moneys a little tight atm so cant afford much

New mats

LED sidelights (4 white led's)

Before

One of each

Random shot, whoops!

Still need to get a shot of the induction kit finished (well still needs a little attention)

Daymo-I just bought an adaptor for the maf pipe and the cone is off ebay, just search 77mm inlet

 

[antnee]

Forgot to say, when fitting the induction kit, the cupra badge on the front met the screwdrivier

 

[chumsofmanutd]

Liking the yellow mats mate! where did you purchase if you don't mind me asking?

 

[antnee]

Got them from Justmatz, took about 3 weeks for them to come.

Not been going well over the past few days, the blowy exhaust is getting worse, the new air temp sensor doesnt work and my pass side window broke today (think its the regulator)

Just before Xmas too

 

[antnee]

Re-did the bracket for the induction kit, so its held on firmly now

During painting

Finished

And with the filter in place

Also the gearknob had a inch long bit of plastic which had lost its colour, so it turned yellow of course!

 

[Daymo]

lookin pretty good mate, noticed you've got the honeycomb grills aswell, did they come on it??? have you noticed any difference with the air filter then??

ive found the cone on ebay, but dont know what you mean by the adapter for the maf?? (i dont really have any knowledge of how to do things myself, hence the tons of questions!)

 

[antnee]

You need this adaptor http://www.greenfilters.co.uk/Air_F..._various_Audi/Golf_fitments/product_info.html Which bolts onto the pipe where you take the old airbox off from, the attach the cone onto the adaptor, which has a 77mm inlet btw


And bad news, CV joint has go on the N/S so I think any mods will have to wait for the time being (it may end up being my xmas pressie too!)

 

[antnee]

daymo, didnt notice your other question, with the cone filter it definately picks up a lot quicker, would say it makes acceleration a bit quicker too. Its not really loud unless you have a intake pipe directing air onto the cone and you have your foot flat down.



O and good news, its going into the garage on monday to have the CV joints done, which is also my Xmas present from my parents!

 

[antnee]

Got the car fixed, my mechanic said the n/s CV joint literally fell apart as he took it off!

 

[bertrum]

Good news about the CV fella ! Looks nice and tidy. Get another cold air feed straight into the middle of the cone look forward to seeing it... eventually lol
