Ben's stage 2 Ibiza 20VT FR Last drive

Re: Ben's Ibiza 20VT FR

few updates.
got a 35mm drop kit fitted a while back. im not too happy about it, the rear is rediculous compared to the front. I have a dispute in progress with the manufacturer through my supplier which isnt going anywhere quickly at the moment.
Here's some pics:

it has settled abit more now and the front tyre sits on the arch. rear is still terrible.
And the 3" downpipe and 200cell sports cat is on too. its amazing compared to the stupidly small standard item.
heres a few videos. just my luck, coming back down the road it pops like a bitch!

few changes today.
car got a stage 2 remap today at P torque. standard rolling road at 159bhp(9 over standard) and finished up at 218.2 bhp which im chuffed about!
Also finally sorted out suspension problem with supersport who sent me some more rear springs. this seems much better.
Few pics:

Thought id do a brief update, its been a while.
Supersport pulled their finger out of there arse and sent the correct springs for the desired 35mm drop. it looks a shed load better.
also, since lowering, ive noticed how far in the arches the wheels are. 20mm spacers sorted that out. Anyway, pictures!
before spacers:

the spacers:

and after a foam, quick wash and zaino z8ing all over this morning:

seatsport cooler is soon to be here, along with some forge pipework.
Thanks for looking.

Intercooler is on, forge throttle body to IC pipe and there new boost pipe makes up the top half of the piping, while the bottom was just a reducer into an elbow onto a straight run of silicone. nice and easy!
took it out for a quick spin and noticed a few more exhaust pops which is nice!
Looking menacing:

nice car mate.
what 0-60 times do you get and is it economical.
i miss petrol turbos

 

[truss]

cheers! 0-60 is sub 6 seconds im not entirely sure, and its as economical as you want it to be lol, its 30+ mpg cruising about normally, but once you start to push it a bit, that drops to 20ish. i keep looking at diesels, but everyone says ill miss a petrol turbo!

 

[cupra.al]

did you replace all the pipework that goes from the turbo to intercooler?

 

[truss]

nah, do you think that'd be wise?

intercooler looks great mate, trust me you will miss the petrol turbo! Derv's are just not the same

 

[truss]

nice one! yeah you're a prime example regarding diesel!

 

[cupra.al]

nah, do you think that'd be wise?

i plan to do it that plastic pipe that runs along the bottom seems restrictive aswell as the ally pipe it attaches to that comes standard on the cupra,when i replaced the top pipe with the forge pipe that made a massive difference.

 

[truss]

i never thought much about that, the pipe looked like a decentish diameter.
the forge pipe is a great piece of kit, made fitting up so much better than some of the other fixes ive seen. car pops like mad now, im guessing it has something to do with the new pipework.

 

[cupra.al]

if you compare the lower plastic pipe to your new forge pipe the diameters are different which bugs me.

 

[truss]

yeah that makes sense to be honest. lets see what forge deliver!

 

[truss]

whiteline rear anti roll bar ordered. expensive month but worth it i suppose

 

[Bean]

Whiteline's worth every penny mate. You wont regret it, completely changes the car

 

[truss]

yeah everyones saying! i missed the last DPM groupbuy but im no way missing awesome's on atm!

 

[truss]

2 new toyo proxes 4 on today aswell, the wallet empties more lol. the old front ones were bald as a....

Hi Mate, liking the car! I'm pretty much after my car looking like yours when I've done with it. What Cone filter are you running? I'm in the process of buying one now.

 

[truss]

Just seen this, sorry! im not running a cone anymore, ive gone back to a green cotton panel filter as the noise was starting to drive me up the wall!
