LawrieIbizaMk4's Ibiza Cupra TDi *Coilovers!*

[ScottHmk4]

cheers scott, not much planned for it so far just cosmetic stuff tbh..brake calipers really need a refurb and the paint in general needs a good detail to get it back up to scratch. insurance was double the 1.2 but a worthy sacrafice!!

and the other rims are going on first thing 2moro

Good man. My first mods I like to get taken care of.....

.led interior lights
.led number plate lights
.cd player swapped
.hids + sidelights
.detail the crap outta it lol
.clean the seats and Hoover it all out
.debadge (depending on the badges)
.paint and tidy up engine bay
.calipers clean and paint

A short list of ideas of little cheap mods that tidy things up

If the clutch ain't slipping it should be fine. Most mappers limit the torque to under 300. Just don't floor it under 2k rpm's in high gears and it should last.

What HU you putting in? Can't be arsed lookin through yer old thread

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

payday! so many ideas that are all so so tempting! might order some red vac lines and a boost guage

so here's what's been done so far..
stage 1 remap (by previous owner)
HIDs (by previous owner)
Wind deflectors
CD player changed
engine bay cleaned
detailed

plans for today...

boot install
LED lighting
stubby areal
change wheels over
polish exhaust

plans for the near future...

replace vac lines
boost guage install
refurb engine cover (or just remove it)
facelift FR upper grills
get my private reg back on

any other suggestions are welcome, i'm listening

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

raining today so limited to what i can do

got some LED sidelights, turned out to be a perfect match for the hids

and gave the exhaust tip a quick polish, still a bit of more stubborn soot off when i get a dry day

here's some pics, plus some beading from the detail yesterday

 

[ScottHmk4]

what happened to the other alloys? thought they were getting fired on? looks good bud

 

[joelyboy5]
