Are you going to GTi Spring Fest Rob?

Toying with the idea yeah, if I get mine working again in time then I'll more than likely be there You?

 

[Robbie C]

Alex, is your Neuspeed crank pulley dampened??

Just linking this to http://seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=208928

I've been considering the Fluidampr but undecided at the moment

 

[Backdraft]

Its not, but ive had no issues so far. I dont rev it silly high either. Been thinking about changing for a Fluidampr, but i dont have the money to spend on it at the mo. How much are they these days?

 

[Robbie C]

$360 seems to be the average going rate, not cheap

Are you heading to Spring Fest?

Hey Alex, I've got one fitted, cheapest I could get it for was $370 from USP Motorsport.
Chap to deal with is Jeff and he is pretty quick in email responses.

On a different note what are your views on the NGK BKR7E Spark plugs, have you used them on your setup?

Still not cheap and have have no spare money to spend on the car.

I have used NGK plugs before with no issues. Then I have had no issues with the denso plugs as yet either. The iridium version of that NGK plug is also good.

The Ibiza needs to go now. I will be putting an add up in the for sale section. Looking for 12K at the lowest. If the car is not sold by the end of June then it will be sold in bits. I dont want it be broken up as ive put so much time and effort into the car that it will be a massive shame.
