iTB Ibiza Cupra 16v Track Toy - Engine Rebuild, Aero & More Page 73+

Well I had enough of my garage tent thing, because of the tarmac being so crap in the car park the wind managed to pull two 19mm Rawl Bolts out of the ground!

So decided on getting a shuttle type trailer either a Brain James RS3 Shuttle trailer or PRG TracSporter but everyone I found were either new or sold but came across this PRG one... Brought in July 2010 done 3 weeks work and then the bloke put it up for sale.

Sorry about the pics just got it home and the tent put away so it's dark and the photo's taken on my iPhone.

Will get better pics up in a few days, pretty happy with it because I can open the bonnet and work on the engine while it's in the trailer

 

[Dave_R]

aye

Thanks again fella!

 

[cupra.al]

have you got a wheel clamp to stop anyone hammering out the draw bar lock and taking the car and trailer?

 

[Dave_R]

Have two my old man is fitting them, I had to shoot of because of the snow up my way. The hitch as a lock and there will be another hitch lock going over it as well as CCTV on the trailer and cars!!

 

[cupra.al]

good good.

its a crying shame that we have to do this sort of thing to stop the arseholes of this world nicking our stuff dave. nice trailer by the way.

Is worth it all when you go for a good spin, a trackday or a car show! And at least you have something to show unlike spending money and drink & drugs!

Is a shame how you got to protect and over protect stuff so it doesn't get stolen! But if they manage to take this then they will need to try hard!

Exactly, I dont go out drinking that often and dont take drugs so would rather spend my money on something that I like/enjoy or a hobby instead of just wasting it.

Just the way society is today I suppose, 20-30 years ago you could of let the trailer the way it is and it would of been alright.

Trailer looks good btw Dave

Here's a few tidy pics!

Not sure if the side door opens this far or the struts are playing up because of the cold weather but looking on the PRG website they seem the same!

Very nice bit of kit their Dave.

 

[PhilW]

Awesome dave!!!!!

Now we got somewhere to put tools when on track. lol.

Cant wait for next year now.

 

[ibizacupra]

the side door is to allow you to get out of it then dave yea?

 

[Copey]

Great project, havent read every page but most of them, what were the final power figures?

 

[Dave_R]

Yea only got this till I find a house tho, thinking about fitting a 230v invertor so I can take a compressor with us

the side door is to allow you to get out of it then dave yea?

Yea Bill the side door makes it easier to open/close the car door... don't need to use it but saves you trying to rub yourself up against the wall and car once you drive the car in.

Great project, havent read every page but most of them, what were the final power figures?

Thanks fella! It should be in here somewhere, it was 206.7bhp

 

[crazyazz]

Awesome work man, is that 206.7bhp at the front wheels or flywheel? I have a 1998 ABF and would like to do some NA mods for more power. What basic upgrades to you recommend first?

Either look through this thread or do a search it's been covered lots of times in the Mk2 ibiza section and I've been there once (a long time ago) and it's all in this thread! Just usual first mods, filter, exhaust, manifold

EDIT: Just noticed you're from OZ so you may find it a pain to find parts, they were bad enough for me at times!

 

[Dave_R]

Well I've just ordered the Snot a late christmas prezzie;

New rims because I have had enough of my Flake-o-Motives and got a lovely spray job last time the paint was too soft and the tyre fitter marked everyone of the alloys but they did warn me before fitting so couldn't say too much and when I pushed my thumb into the paint it marked it!

One of them things when I couldn't let the paint harden fully because I need the car on the road! Here's the new rims, same design as the compo's but I love the look of the 5 spoke on the car!

These will be used for my road slicks and then the Compo's will be fitted with normal road tyres (Goodyear F1's) for the use in the wet at trackdays and winter time.

And had my wheel nuts the other day for the studs;
