Aye not sure which they would look better with..! Will have to wait and see. I might not even put in harnesses.

They look like a niiiice set of arse-hugging seats you got there mate. Nice amount of side to side support aswell by the looks of it too. Good find!

 

[Daymo]

I was well excited when I found them! I sat in a set in a local shop and they were unbelievably comfortable! Fit me perfectly! So I'm looking forward to getting them in this weekend

Not really updated this in a while! With there being so much snow (well over 12 inches...) it is proving quite difficult to do anything. Although I have a garage all the snow underneath the car isn't appealing...

I have just bought myself 3 Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s (one is buckled) which I am going to use on the front with my Toyo R888s fitted. It's like having another pair of shoes for the car

I have myself booked onto Knockhill on the 6th of February which I am planning on taking the Ibiza instead of the 205.

Just changed the oil yesterday and was going to dial in -0.5 degrees of camber and check the rest for my trackday but my mate is a lazy bugger. I also changed the fuel filter for piece of mind since it was like £6...

I am on 2 minds weather I am going to go for the hybrid or weather I am just going to save my pennies and save for something that can handle alot more power for less money... I.e. a Subaru or Evo, but I am staying put until I see what happens with the complaints I had about my overtaking in the summer...

I will get more pictures of the car once all the snow goes and I get her clean again


Oh and happy new year to everyone

 

[cupra.al]

happy new year,what do you mean overtaking complaints?

 

[RubenD]

I like your motor, but how did you swap the standard aerial for a short one? I can't take mine of, I can only loosen it and lay it flat...

Hold onto the bit on the roof and pull the ariel against it, there's an anti theft device.

Hi Josh, liking the direction your taking the ibiza, looks good

oh and knockhill on the 6th, see you there will be good to have a look round your car in the flesh, if you approve that is

Cheers bud. Your more than welcome to have a look round the car! Is needing a few things done to tidy it up but it runs well and that's the main thing in my books!

Are you going to be on the track on the 6th? If not I might steal your turbo when your looking at my car

 

[Ibiza125]

Going to get my tracking done tomorrow for Knockhill. Not wanting my 888s ruined and want as much grip as I can get Might see if I can get them to throw on some track rod ends that I have bought. It doesn't need them but I might as well do it while I'm getting the tracking sorted!

888s are fitted to the wheels so now just waiting on non-radius seat bolts for it and I will be set to go.

Also bought some proper spacers instead of universal. I have been getting messed around by Venom Motorsport for a good few months saying that FK say they aren't in stock. Then I just went to FK direct and they are on their way

Also bought some grooved discs for the front. Might also fit the braided hoses and get a garage to pressure bleed the system, if not go and buy myself a pressure bleeder.

Do all of the above before the 6th to be 100% happy.

Why are you fitting spacers?

Do you need these to clear your callipers?

Did you get round to fitting your new seats that you bought, might have missed this update?

Yeah need 6mm spacers to clear the Wilwoods. I have universal ones on at the moment but give a hell of a feedback!!

New seats are fitted and have been for a while Great things! Only problem is I am anal about keeping them mint condition! Especially the side bolsters as they are huge!!

 

[Ibiza125]

Well I did a few jobs that have been on the cards for far too long!!

First on was changing my air filter that I have had sitting in the garage too long. So I fitted the Jetex in replacement of my Dynatwist and oh my god is it good! So much louder DV and turbo noise!!

Next up was braided fuel lines. I have also has these for a while just been waiting for ages for the finishers! Got F'd over by motorsport engineering and still have no finishers or refund from them...

Overall engine bay to the day:

And then after another long wait from Venom motorsport after sending me 5mm spacers instead on 6mm, then saying they couldn't get 6mm from FK, then for me to order them straight from FK and get them within a few days... I finally got the universal spacers off for some nice FKs

Your DV is on the wrong way round.

 

[Ibiza125]

Your DV is on the wrong way round.

Seems to work well that way... I have tried it the other way to see if it made a difference and it made nothing. Hella loud just now anyway!
