IbizaAlex's MK3 Ibiza Cupra - From the Very Start to Present Day

[Indy]

Hey Alex could you kindly let me know where I can get hold of the "Rose jointed trackrod ends (inverted on car to help bump steer) and eccentric top mounts with extra caster"

Plus the flush fit bonnet pins?

Can get the bonnet pins off ebay.

 

[Backdraft]

The pins are from GPR. Im still trying to get prices together for the track rod ends. The place i get them from isnt responding! lol! Indy, they only do fixed rose jointed top mounts for your car. Im waiting for a price on those too.

Alex in the bottom pic what charge pipe are you running? mine looks similar to the top pic and the pipes are shockingly flimsy

Bay pic as it was before before the current setup

get an alloy one made

alexs top pic is the pro alloy

2nd pic is k04 setup with lcr charge pipe

now he runs the BDM kit with custom charge pipe

 

[nogutsnoglory]

looks like the LCR charge pipe would fit tho?

 

[h17och]

the lcr charge pipe at the turbo end had a funny kick. it throws it in a weird direction.

worth a try tho

 

[h17och]

or maybe swap with mine as im selling my proalloy front mount.....

Little update. Ive been working a little on the car this week so i got a few things done.

The original seat rails are getting there. They are such a bitch to remove. Progress is slow and im waiting for some extra drill heads.

Ive finished the top mount gear shift and the cables are run through the bulkhead.

I then whipped the engine out for the rebuild. Im glad i did as cy1 has had some issues. The top ring had started to flake apart and has scored the bore. Doesnt matter as i already have another rebored block im using. There has also been some exhaust valve to piston contact. Over reving i guess!!!?

I'm more interested in what turbo the KTM in the background is having put on it

 

[IbizaAlex]

The head is off having some fancy porting work done at JNL Racing along with supertech valves, springs and retainers. With everything off its rude not to get the paint out.

I wanted something different. I just dont know what colour to paint the block and do i polish the head? The turbo is also being changed for a 2871. The turbo to downpipe bolts were so tight i snapped my snap on 6mm allen socket!

Damn you eagle eyes. Its a secret until its complete. lol! It wasnt meant to be in the pic!

 

[barnsley]

how far have you been reving it m8

 

[IbizaAlex]

how far have you been reving it m8

There have been one or two times it reved to over 7.5k in 2nd. Never over that. Valve float can kill!
