Damoegan's Mk4 Ibiza Cupra

[Damoegan]

Ok, a bit of history first.
I had a 51' Nissan Almera 1.8SE that I got in 2004 and then in june this year I got myself a 96' Toyota Starlet Glanza V Turbo, with the intension of selling the Almera. But the Almera took time to sell, so I ended up putting them both op for sale at the same time as I couldn't afford to keep both. And as sods law goes they both sold within a day of each other and left me without a car .
So I borrowed my grandads little micra while I got some funds sorted out to get another car. After much searching I decided I wanted a mk4 Ibiza FR or Cupra, and after driving them both it had to be the Cupra for me.
I picked up the Cupra on friday and I'm so happy with it.
So here they are, past and presant.

Yep, thats a nice ande tidy looking example. There is however, one thing bothering me...

Loose the chrome mirrors! They look awful!

 

[Octane2097]

nice cupra cheif
btw that glanza looks really tidy i wish i had 1

 

[Damoegan]

Yea, the mirror's are the first thing to go. I'm going to order some cupra black one, a new style cupra gearknob and a strut brace on tuesday.

@ Octane- yea the glanza was nice, undriveable in the wet though (it would just spin in 1st,2ndand 3rd), but it was realy good fun. Proper old skool turbo, lag, lag, lag and then boommmm, turbo would put you into the seat.

 

[Gazb]

Any mods planned for it?
Also those alloys look like they're darker than usual, have you had them resprayed?

 

[Damoegan]

Gaz - The alloys were like that when I got it, but I dont think they have been resprayed coz the spair looks like it has never been used and its the same coulor.

Firs thing is to sort out them chrome mirrors and get a new style gearknob & a S2000 ariel and a auto window close unit, hoping to get them ordered this week. Then save up for a remap.

 

[Big_daddy]

For the glanza, who did you insure with? as my cuz is having trouble find insurance companies who do glanza (NOT starlet GT turbo)

 

[Damoegan]

It was A-Quote my friend, was only paying £392

 

[amnesia]

The Seat looks miles better. IMHO. Good choice of car and even colour. Hope you have plenty of fun in it.

 

[Damoegan]

Yea, amnesia, the cupra is absalutly mint. I'm loving it. Just ordered some black mirror covers for it and just got my kvw 100 auto window close kit and just finishing off my flip key (just the transponder to swop over) and start to save for a remap

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Very nice. And in the best colour.

 

[sudden-impact]

nice car but aint so keen on them mirror lol they hav gotta go pal

 

[luke c]

think i spotted you on sat at the thinford roundabout

 

[Damoegan]

Thinfor roundabout? Where is that bud?

 

[Damoegan]

A quick update....

anyone know of someware that does wheel refurbs in the newcastle area?

 

[Black Ibiza]

Really smart looking car and i liked the Glanza As well looks like you've got quite a good car history so far..

 

[Doddsy]

Looks great ...I got an Fr 130 for a courtesy car and I swear it had been remapped as it went a bit to well... but it didn't sway me as I went for a Meg R26 in the end ...great cars tho

 

[Clone]

Very nice I also like the glanza.

Bit of an update

First off I got a p-torque stage 1 before christmas.

Around the same time I fitted my boost gauge and new head unit

Then I got a center arm rest of the gf for chrimbo

Then someone did this to my grill so I fitted a de-baged grill

I've got a green pannel filter coming in the morning from badger bill and a Baily dv on the way off ebay, then I'm gona order a N75h valve so it should be nice and frisky for the rr day on 6th March
Also got one of those stubby aerials http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=142983&highlight=stubby+aerial and a signal booster and the outo close window kit thing (kwc100 or whatever it is called)

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Blonde question but its the only way im gonna find out - what are N75 valves? Cos theres a few people replaced them. Where are they and what do they do?!
