K04 MK3 Ibiza Cupra Track Ready - RIP

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Just received my powerflex bushes and look at this little car keyring that was free

 

[cupra.al]

murdered lcr managed to get his front wings on his mk4 golf r32 custom made i believe so probably worth asking him about who he got to make them.

Did u get a full bush kit mate? looking at getting the full kit soonish.

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Nah just front wishbone bush. Don't like poly bushes really order VT rear bushes much better handling.

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Look how nice VT bushes are compared to poly bushes

Ill have my wishbones with rear VT bushes and front black series fitted already for sales soonish

Make your own moulds and then lay up the doors and wings yourself. I think the dash weights a kilo if the mk3 is the same as my mk2, balsa wood.

The mk1 leon tdi se with no aircon from factory was 1289kg fully fuelled and no driver and full interior standard brakes with 17inch mvk5 and 225/45/17 tyres. That looks like a mk2 escort key-ring.

 

[rae1001]

When they are for sale pm me with a price mate, could be interested with have a look into vt bushes instead the now

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Autodata MOT regs thingy list the mk3 cupra at 1300KG. Either way its to heavy haha

Handy to Know thanks. There's a few carbon specialist near me but guess its pricey.

Most the dash will stay in and be flocked, is what I'm thinking ATM but all could change.

Yeah will do mucka. I went from standard to powerflex (purple ones, pig to fit) to the VT bushes which made massive difference. I'd defo say there worth the extra.

Hmmm interesting that, ill compare that to what autodata says and refer back.
I thought that's about the keyring too lol

 

[rae1001]

I had a look but could only see the wishbone rear bushes, are they the only ones available?
On another note, have you had the problem resolved with your steering rack?

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Yeah man just rear. I run black series powerflex on the front they feel like plastic lol

Ill post a pic when I'm home

Not yet, trying to trace on through work, but GSF have bloody discontinued em lol, trying to find a new unit aswell not recon as I want get my surcharge money back for returning a PAS rack for a Manual.

 

[rae1001]

Cool sounds good, do you run powerflex elsewhere? (Rear beam, drop links, arb etc?)
Ahh ok, well hope you get it all sorted out then. How much weight do you think you would save removing pas system?

Rear beam is currently stock lol. I have powerflex rear bushes sat here but gunna sell em if ya want em?
Arbs are Neuspeed one using there red poly bushes but when they wear ill use the Black series powerflex bushes I reckon.

Not sure tbh mainly want to bin it for the feel and feedback really and you can't cook pas fluid on track if you haven't got it lol. (Berg haha)

They'd defo do a better job over stock bushes just not hard enough lol ill be going VT rear axle bushes when I do

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Moved the car over to me garage to crack on with some serious work at the weekend. Haven't driven it since I got back from the ring forgot how much fun it is to drive even with the steering banging around.

Before I did tho I removed a few items

Be pressing my bushes into the MK3 golf arms tomoz and sort a steering rack out.
