Mats Mk3 Arctic Ibiza Cupra

[cupramillo]

Looks fooking brill there mate. The difference between the size of the callipers is night and day!

Look very subtle and stealthy and suit the look of your car perfectly!

Would have looked better blue

Nah man up to yourself they do look good silver as well I suppose

 

[Mat]

cheers people.

how's it goin jack? what happened to the Cupra? What you rolling in now?

Paul, I was on my phone when I did that!

 

[Riko]

They do look very swish Mat! So are you not planning to lower her? it would really 'make' the outside, think of all that body movement when under heavy braking and accelerating, a lot of wasted power and energy there??! My areas not exactly great for speed bumps and crap roads, but your driving adapts quickly to it

 

[Damoegan]

I didn't know they done a 4x4 ibiza, Mat

 

[Mat]

TBH, the front only just gets over speedhumps, and I scrub when leaving local pub! as for the rear, when the seats are in, I get scrubbage when hitting dips in the road at speed.

It is about 25mm lower than standard on Bilstein Shocks and Eibach Springs.

Coilys aren't in my budget ATM, but I MAY look into it one day.

edit: it looks slightly higher in the pic Damoegan quoted due to it being jacked up lol
does look funny tho

 

[M87NER]

Very Nicely done Mat !

 

[Mat]

cheers fella

As promised, some updated pictures with rear brake sparyed to match the Brembos, and refurbed the alloys.

Alloys refurbed

Well, finally picked up some more resistors last week after buying some in January and then losing them.

So hopefully, this weekend, I'll be doing the N112 bypass and SAI removal. Also gonna change all the Vac Hosing to 3mm. Noticed over past month or so I aint boosting as much as I used to.... Noticed it when I had a split hose near the DV. Since then, I've never got 25-26psi. Only get to 20psi

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

26 psi is quite high isn't it? thought most of these spiked around 22 ish

genuine curious question

 

[Mat]

yeah 26 is high. in fact, the guage flashes at 24 or 25....

TBH, I'm glad in a way it only goes to 20-22 (24 now n then) as it'll save the turbo in the long run.

26psi was only underload, 5th gear flat out TBH

 

[Mat]

N112 bypass done on friday. And also cleaned up the charge pipe a little (nasty black stuff from heat shield on it )

Didn't do the SAI removal as I couldn't be arsed to get jack out and get under the car!
