Tom's Mk3 ibiza cupra, Porshe twists now on!!!!

[tjjammo]

Hi all.

Just a breif update first about me and my car history. Im 20 work in the insurence industry and allways been a bit of a 'euro' boy i guess more looks over substance lol
Only history is helping build a 450 bhp scooby!

Ive allways been a bit of a Fiesta guy. But only mk4's
My history. To see if anyone has ever seen me lol
few pics


Pug 206

Puma'd Power fiesta

. Now to the cupra!

I have own'd it about 3 weeks. It has problems but i love it!

I bought it through a friend of a friend after about a month looking.
Its had loads replaced recently by previous owner but evan better it has had a full re-spray about 5 weeks ago! Full windows out job with 44 hours prep worked logged!
That was the main reason i got the car tbh as its a good base car.

Plans are basically 250 bhp before i go to le man next year. Knowing me itll be more 300 lol

first mod was to get it detailed before winter! It had some tar on it tbh! And the fact my mates sh**t hot detailer!

during detail

Anyone with a good eye will notice a ford raceing puma behind my car in the pic above
After.



Then took it for its first decent run on weekend to the black mountains as there very close to me.

I am atm winning on a forge 007 dv. Getting boost and oil pressure gauges on the weekend. .
Plans before chrimbo is to sort a few lil problems. Clean under the archs.
After christmas, will be getting fmic, forge tip, better induction kit. de-cattd downpipe. Polly bushing the car, rear spacers. and then map time.


Thanks for reading and any comments/ advise would be great!!

Thanks tom

Just looking for some info.... im possibly getting a 007 with a yellow spring. Now my car aint mapped. will a yellow spring be ok ? or cause any problems

 

[Liamx]

What other mods does the car have? People tend to use the yellow spring at Stage 2 & K03S, otherwise its too strong and the green spring is used .

Update.

Missed out on the 007 dv. But bought a fmic. piller pod and boost and oil temp.

Pics will be up on the weekend. of hopefully everything fitted. and hopefully will get a well deserved clean for it too!

 

[chaazza]

Well it would be your old one lol As long as it comes should be on sat. Did paypal send you my address ok dude?

Just realised i never told u my username lol

 

[tjjammo]

Just thought id do a quick update.

Got my piller pod and oil temp and boost gauge today and got a load of intercooler pipeing.

Lowered the front by about an extra 10mm just close the arch gap a bit.

Hopeing itll all be friday so pics will be up friday.

Just main issue is cleaning it!!!

Next up forge 007 dv, downpipe and map time!

 

[tjjammo]

Just wondering what sort of boost should i be running.

Just trying to determine if i got any leaks.

should have pics up soon. intercooler is on but aint happy with the fiting yet lol too low.

 

[tjjammo]

Quick few pics.

Got the front mount on. Not Very happy at the moment. Its sitting too low more than anything and a slight leak as one of the pipes hasnt sealed 100%.

Gauges are in. boost one fitted just got to sort oil gauge out.

hopeing to get downpipe, tip, dv and map before end of Jan.

Then polybushing, new cluch, and gerally just makeing it mint!

Thats the only pic of it being fitted. but it has been mounted behind the bumper bar now.

As you can see too low!!!

and c+c welcome.

Thanks
