White FR to Black Cupra - Cupra Now Sold :(

[Scott-o]

Last Friday i sold my pride and joy to another member off here, even after driving 470 miles 6 days previous to go pick up the new BBS wheels

Last pictures i had taken of the car by my mate before we parted ways can be seen towards the end of my old thread and beginning of the new owners thread. Going to miss that car, really was a looker.

As we did the deal my mate showed up ready to give me a lift and just after alex left we set off on a nice short 55 mile journey to go and see a completely standard nice low mileage 54 plate mk4 ibiza cupra. The car had 2 previous owners, extensive fsh and seemed perfect condition except one mark on the drivers door. Was pretty much a done deal as soon as i saw the car!

As soon as i got back home i fitted my Apr r1 re-circ valve that i recieved in the post that day:

Saturday afternoon after work and i borrowed a jack and impact gun so fitted som h&r 20mm spacers:

Fitted some 6k Hids:

Took the sound deadening off the underside of the bonnet:

Fitted a c2 Ariel:

Then Monday night i took off my grill surround and 's' badge for my dad to spray whilst he got 5 minutes at work. Got that back tonight and he's done an awesome job:

Car as it stands as of about 30 minutes ago:

Oh and de-wipered the rear Monday night.

On order:

Milltek turbo-back decat, resonated center section with rs4 exhaust tip to suit cupra bumper
Weitec Coilovers
Forge turbo intake pipe
New suspension top mounts
4 new coil packs ready for mapping
K&N Induction Kit

Sorry for poor pictures, just off my iphone quickly

Looking forward to seeing what you do to this one mate! Less choice of wheels to go on this though.....

 

[Scott-o]

My old Porsche ones would have fitted no problem but im not doing the whole pcd adapter thing again, proper pain in the arse! Plus i sold the adapters today haha

Probably just keeping the standard wheels and refurbing them a nice bright glossy silver next time i need some tyres. If i ever get new wheels they will be some motorsport type wheels like compo mo's. Always loved them!

Cheers for the kind words, just cant wait until its all mapped with the mods etc hopefully will be abit of an animal!

Been following it for a good year or so, got a fair idea where to start, all the main bits should be done by end of the month then ill just add more and more little bits as and when

Finally good looking car bud cant wait to see what you do with this one

Cheers mate, yeh its taken me awhile, probably as im ashamed with the ride height

aaa good man bout time this made an apperence. does look good and i see you wasted no time on the mods so how long before your stage 2??

no point wasting time eh! Exhaust is going to take until the end of the month to make and be delivered so early next month it should be getting mapped, cant wait!

The ride height on the ibizas are shocking to say the least they sit so high! Should be a safety hazard coming out the factory that high so much roll

 

[dervpower]

Brilliant mate! Looking forward to seeing this progress!

Pretty impressed with the handling though to be fair, not sure how its so good, doesnt feel all that far off what my old one was really except it rolls more (allot more) Its good not catching roadkill with the under-tray any more though

Brilliant mate! Looking forward to seeing this progress!

Cheers Will, hopefully over the coming weeks there should be plenty to add into the thread!

Good look with the new car , Im sure it will be as good as the old one + Im only 20 mins anyway when u want to see ur old baby

 

[Scott-o]

will go for a photoshoot once the cars looking a little less giraffe like and got all the bits done, will be a good shoot!

 

[dervpower]

When the coilies going on? You going as low as before?

 

[Scott-o]

Hopefully end of next week or so, actually cant wait! and yep without a doubt the adjusters wont even get to come out of the box! Maybe 2 threads higher or so on the front though due to the wider tyres on these.

Yeh I'm looking forward to it mate! It seems quite well waxed for a standard car that hasn't been enthusiast owned, been really well looked after mind!

Need to get back into detailing abit, don't really have te time any more though it seems!
