Cupramillo's MK3 Ibiza Cupra Gone, EVO 8 MR FQ320 CARBON ON!!

[cupramillo]

As i am prone to spot purchases, i decided to put the brakes back up for sale Im going travelling to Japan in March and just needed the cash too much!

Not to worry, going to save up for what i really wanted anyway.... a set of Brembo 4pots from Badger 5! Should be getting them around April time!

 

[cupramillo]

Next mods i have on the cards are a set of wheel spacers....probably 20mm ones, a set of AP Coilovers to get her abit lower and then a new clutch and fylywheel, probably the vr6/g0 combo then thats it..for a while anyway!

Future things i have i mind to do would be a ko3s hybrid, but thats going to have to wait....for now!

Comments welcome

Future plans look good mate, i'm abit worried that you might be abit drunk with that spelling and its not even 9 o'clock yet

Been looking around for a set of brembo's to see if any pop up, set went for £350 on ebay a few weeks back, bargain.

The car looks really good, makes me miss my red one now, lol.

 

[cupramillo]

haha my keyboard was playing up...just replaced the batteries, seems to be fine now! Yeh i was gutted when that set went for 350....came up for sale like 2days after i bought the TT setup.

 

[cupramillo]

Think im just going to bite the bullet and save up for a brand new set from Badger5. I need that stopping power in my life!

 

[Riko]

ooOOOoo have you put them in the for sale section yet? If not how much you want for them?? lol. Car's looking sweet tho bud and nice progress so far.

 

[cupramillo]

Yeh sorry mate they got sold within about 6hrs of them going up for sale! Went soo quick. Good setup aswell, im just a sucker for Brembos, have to have them or i wont be happy. Cheers for the comment. Im really happy with the way the car drives, nice to know you have the power to call upon if some knob head in a saxo or civic tries it on!

 

[Riko]

Dang those calipers are so hard to come across! I know what you mean about the brembos tho, one of the most important parts of the car yet I jus can't bear parting with that much money!!! At the end of the day they'll save your life so well justified.

 

[cupramillo]

Mate keep an eye out on edition 38, ive seen a few sets for sale since i sold mine. As for the brembos, its abit like when i had to splash out for the Forge FMIC, i just saw it has a really important part of the car that needs money spent on it. Thats how im trying to justify spending 840quid on the brakes, when your running more power you need better brakes, and like you send, given the right cirumstances they can save your life!

 

[cupramillo]

Actually, right now on edition 38 there are a set of 4 pot wilwoods for sale for aout 400quid if you got some cash burning a hole in your pocket, check it out! Look in alright nick aswell

 

[Riko]

I often has a little lookey on there tbh, trouble I haven't got £400 burning a hole maybe half that? Looking for a k03s and DP. Anyway I don't want to junk up your thread dude, it's suppose to be about your car lol!!

 

[cupramillo]

lol dont worry bud, its all good. Its kinda related to my car anyway

 

[Yaboy]

nice ride, hows about an r splitter and some rear spacers.

 

[dubz_wm]

Looking good man, need to sort that camera out!!! lol gonna look real good once its been dropped.

 

[cupramillo]

Yeh the camera has finally died! RIP SONY! And a week before i go to Japan!

Trying to hold off on litlle mods like, strut brace, spacers and a splitter, want to keep all my money and plough it into brembos! Then AP's then clutch if it doesnt go before hand, then the little things, spacers, ariel,wipers and a LCR splitter!

 

[cupramillo]

A few updates to report. Bought a Seat Sport strut brace off a member on her. Going to get that fitted soon!

Also bought a Spec Stage 3 + from another member, so that needs to go on asap, should make a nice difference.

And as there was a group buy on some brembos(shame on all you mk3 owners for not jumping at the chance) i took the plunge and got the credit card out and bought a brand new set! Cant wait for some 4-pot power! Current brakes are pants. My discs are shagged with a big lip and pads dont have alot left!

Pics to follow when everything arives!

 

[cupramillo]

Right been a while since i updated. Few things have arrived, first major thing was my brembos!! They look amazing, and cant wait to get them on!

Here are a few pics

 

[cupramillo]

Next up was a Seat Sport MOMO strut brace. Had it sitting in my room for over a month, nice weather the other day so popped it on, took all of 5 minutes. Cant say i notice any real difference, but it feels ever so slightly taughter.

 

[ChrisCurzon]

No matter how may times i see Brembos i still love um
Hurry up and get um on now!

Cars moving forward mate, good work

 

[cupramillo]

Finally i got some bump strips sprayed up red in roder to try and colour code them. Turned out quite well, there is a slight colour difference due to the bump strips having the fresher paint and the body work having 8years worth of weathering!

Anyway im happy with how it look and i think makes the car look alot sleeker!

A before and after shot.
