Did you ever get those braided lines on mate? Ive still got mine sitting here but Scott-O said they needed modding to go on the rear dont fancy that.

Sorry for late reply dude. Monster motorsport fitted my lines. Took them ages to get them on as they had to mod them, massive respect to Monster motorsport for sorting it though, and they didnt charge me any more. ****ing Hel are useless *******s, nobody that works at that company is aware that all UK Ibiza Cupras come with the AP racing brakes it seems.

Some in car vids of my car going round Mallory park at a recent track day.

Was utter carnage, 8 crashes, 1 serious. Luckily the Cupra tdi came out safe. 4 brand new Uniroyal rainsports are a big help in the wet. Watch how the Lotus Exige on the 888's doesnt dissapear too far into the distance

CUPRAS!!!! CLUE IS IN THE NAME, THERE FOR BEASTING ON THE RACE TRACK, NOT FOR BEING SAT ON A DRIVEWAY BEING POLISHED!!!


5th track day in the Cupra tdi. 4th trackday with the performance torque stage 1 map, 20k with the map on and stock clutch still going strong. 18k with the map, 48k in total.

Anyway, 2nd Rebel only track day at Llandow race circuit! Some awesome pics, and some great in car cam footage. Used my flip mino hd again, same setup as mallory, but have mastered putting the vids on your tube.

280bhp i think, but he had cooked his brakes by then, so was going easy. Pulls like a train though.

20mm hubcentric spacers on. Bimecc bolt through spacers from ebay, aluminium alloy, really light and well made. Very pleased with the improvement in looks, and back end feels tighter in hard cornering. Few decals of the tracks i have done added also.

All mods in time for a quick session on Castle Combe Spring action day... not for the faint hearted....

Ah ye that's right, there for driving, not for polishing.

Few pics of car on Rebel motorsport club stand at the Combe action day and few more track shots. Really happy with the way the car sits now. Doesnt scrape on anything. Really must get some more shots of my car sat on the driveway after being cleaned...

Car is looking great on the track Kahn! How does it feel after a few laps can you notice any heat soak?

Not so you would notice. Definitely pulls harder in the cold, or when it's wet and water is getting on the IC though. Always give her a good steady in lap, get some air through the engine.

Got urge to get RWD though.

Brake fluid replaced with Motul RBF 600.

Expensive but worth it.

Poor little diesel commute slag was yet again pushed to the limit around the Welsh rally course otherwise known as the Bont.

Remember, cars are for driving, not for typing about.

Those last shots look amazing mate, i really want to do this myself.

How much planning did you guys do before, ie campsites and so on?

I did virtually no planning, other than getting my car and myself ready. Vast majority of the planning was done by Lyn, Malc and Anne on Rebelmotorsport club. They did a hell of alot of work, working out awesome routes and finding great campsites. Sadly Malc recently passed away, but i have fond memorys of him, especially on that trip.

However if you wanted to do it yourself then it is not too hard if you put some decent research before hand, what you need for each country etc. Dover Calais ferry is dirt cheap if you pick right times. And honestly there are massive amount of campsites in France, and other euro countrys, so booking is not massively important from what i've seen, Germans are a bit more anal and organised as you can imagine, but they have epic beer, its cheapest of countries we went too. If your going for the driving, i would suggest you don't do more than 300 miles a day especially cross country.

Yes on Mways (unlimited ones of course ) we did alot of high speed stuff, 120mph+... they were in and out of VTEC in 6th lol, pretty much double the fuel consumption. Plus diesel in most euro countries is a fair whack cheaper than petrol, and especially premium petrol. I spent £260 quid approx on fuel, and we were not hanging around for most of it.

Taking the Girlfriend to south of France in September . Once you have got used to driving next to the curb all is good and you can get around really quickly, there roads are infinitely better than ours in terms of condition.

Having said that, at some point every single one of us found ourselves back on the left hand side of the road with the car behind flashing and honking...

Wtf are they flashing me for... oh ****, swerve all good fun.
