DaNnY_LaD's IHI'd Cupra ( End Of a Eara 08/11/2009)

[Robbie C]

Been a while since I've had a good read of this thread but fair play to you Danny, really and truly.

While I don't always agree with your methods, you're defiitely not scared to get stuck in and try things for yourself are you Good on you for having the balls to do it as I know I never would go to these extremes myself, as I'm sure the same goes for a lot of others.

Hope this all works out for you and you finally decide what turbo to stick with!

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Thanks Lads..

I love doing it myself as i know its done to a Standard which i could'nt let any Spanner Monkey do...
But i know were to draw the line when doing it as it comes in to a Specialist Catagory....But still the same is still interesting to learn..

Like All i have todo now is rebuild the 20v cylinder head then the builds complete...

The Thing i aint doing my self are:

* Rebuilding Head
* Re Assembleing Cams Ect
* Fitting Timing Belt Kit
* Torqueing Down Head

as il be getting John (cupraMvr) todo the above bits but i can learn all the same...

Anyway i started to take apart the head and lable everything for John to re assemble it back together...

Anyway Pics:

P.s i wouldn't recommend doing this in your Bedroom as my misses it utterly pissed off and has stormed of down stairs...good times...

Arr can just smell used Oil and its like a breath of fresh air.. Anyway Sod her its different when i have to taste & Inhale that horrible Hair spray she uses at 6am in weekends when she has work...

Pay back FTW...

[DaNnY_LaD]

Right Me and the misses have me chatting and We Feel we need a Reliable car...It has been on my mind now for a fair few months and Blowing money in to it dosnt seem to be the right think todo...

I know i could finish it off but i think its time to sadly move on....I mean Id like to but a deposit down for a house due to me having a family and i can't allways been Spending money on the car....

I don't really feel that gutted tbh as i know id be better off with another New car something around the 06 plate + .....
I will have another toy but not just yet ...

So il be Righting out a full parts list tonight with prices so every must go...Looking at it id need 4% for a decent deposit on a nice house ....

 

[RobDon]

Sad but totally understand! Hate to be a vulture but I'll take the exhaust valves off you m8!

 

[wild willy]

Good luck with the house hunting, hope you don't get the home DIY modding bug though.

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

lol Yeah Il make a thread in a moment with all the parts ect

If it makes you feel any better...

4% won't get you a mortgage rate worth having
an 06 plate car will still break down
grow a pair, tell your missus to stop doing 'girly ****' to save money
Buy a cheap run around, leave it the f*ck alone & hey presto, reliability comes.

Mork.

4% on my current House which with my mums discount was valued at £52,000 it should of been £123,000 so you can see my point...

Once ive got it then my mum can move out...If nothing todo with breaking down mate just time and money i no longer have..

What im gonna do before i can actually go a head with it is get something sorted and see how my funds are,If it means the cupra can stay but will take time to be complete then il cover it up and do as you say...

 

[CupraMVR]

OMG i cant believe what im reading . i would never of through you would of put this as your next post. after all the time and effort that you put in this engine rebuild.

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

John im really trying to make ends meet....I really am....

 

[CupraMVR]

I Need Some Advice guys...

What experiance has anyone had with the IHI underslung manifold for room?

As my Best friend tottally smashed his p1 Subura up and hes now selling the parts it has a Zilla 20G on it at the moment would this fit or its it gonna be tight or even a Top mount jobbie?

I wasn't planning on spending any more money but its up for mates rates prices..

Nail - head.

Exactly what i done.

 

[wilz]

That is insane, but i understand family, houses all responsibilities.

So if you do come to sell it i shall be looking for parts that i need.

Good luck with the house and all that.
