mk3 ibiza cupra 'estate' 20vt

[roly]

They are different if the mk2 has air con, they've got a stupid ridge right where you need to cut the master cylinder hole, Martin's 16v gti had this so we had to pack it out a bit but it all works fine

MK3 fans fit fine, im running mk2 16v non air con rad with mk3 cowl and fans bolted to it, had to chop about 2-3" off the cowling at the bottom as it's to tall but apart from that it fits straight on

If your running mk3 front end tho you may aswell use mk3 rad/fans as it will fit the front panel properly

heater/ fans i ment. thinking along the lines of different bulkhead.

mines got a/c

 

[Riko]

THEN!!!! i noticed it h as a full set of bilstein pss9 fully adjustable coiulovers....£1300 worth!!!!!

wot a deal. got pics will post later

I have a set of those puppies on mine... very impressive!

 

[h17och]

you still got that steering wheel?

 

[Riko]

Lol yeah, wuna buy it back?

 

[h17och]

the airbag lol

 

[roly]

Yeah heater fans etc all fit fine, if it's got a/c the heater box will bolt in properly, non a/c bulkhead means you have to loose one of the mounting bolts.

I could be wrong on the clutch part and the ridge but every mk2 with a/c i've seen has it

cut the holes today. all was fine. no bumps/ridges like you mensioned game on

got the wiring loom out of the cupra along with the engine.
mounted throttle pedel etc.

also gave engine bay another clean up.

put the black carpets in and it looks soo so much better than the grey it used to have in there.

just got to whip the coilovers off of the cupra r and i will be sending it for scrap.
then full steam ahead on the esate.

im also now putting the brembos on the estate. just for the jokes lol

im going to take longer over the conversion now than i planned as im gonna make it a show car i think

cant wait for 1st trip

 

[Martin M]

Good stuff. Will the Brembo's clear your new wheels without spacers?

It'll be sweet with the coilovers on it sitting at a nice height.

 

[h17och]

not sure about brembos. no biggy tho

 

[caney]

HOOCH,looking at that 1st pic i'd say you've been hitting the gym since i last saw you

 

[Feel]

Nah, it's lifting that manifold in and out that's done it

 

[Tom B]

I'm sure the guy that used to own it way back was called Yuc_R, think he was on t'other forum though! I also have a feeling it was traded into MK SEAT and the R ECU was swapped with a Cupra one. Chances are someone's remapped it since though as I'm sure it didn't have Billy's back then!*

Sounds like its going well, can't wait to see the finished product!

* I could be wrong, and probably am!

 

[h17och]

still got an AB ecu.

your not wrong caney. put on 4 stonne since march....this year. 15 stonne now lol

feel, the mani is soo flimsy and light, its a doddle to manuver it lol

 

[caney]

your not wrong caney. put on 4 stonne since march....this year. 15 stonne now lol

 

[roly]

Sounds like it's coming along well, should be good when it's done

Tom

Sure it was Yuc R (Andy i think his name was) who owned it back in the day, i remember having a few races with him many moons ago coming back from southend

 

[h17och]

the cupra r is ready for the scrap pile!

got the rear beam, front suspension and brembos off. so all ready to go!!!!

mork. i repaired the hole you made under the ecu.... was that the front door for mice?
i just bonded an ali plate on and im going to underseal over it then paint it red. good as new

HoocH

 

[h17och]

forgot to add that ive started modding already. picked up a red sfs tip today love it.
ive ran a forge and samco tip and i have to say the sfs is far better. being wire re-inforced its solid

also bought another project totlay different tho. a robinhood kit car, like a lotus 7/ cateram/westfeild!!
will also be 1.8t powered

 

[h17och]

anyone know if a mk3 5door ibiza was made with black door cards?

if not, anyone painted door cards before?


Hooch

 

[Molehill_Mike]

Hooch, was gonna say I came across a 007P in my garage at the weekend, dunno if you want/need it tho...


Good luck with the many many projects.... it seems you spend all day working on projects now, when do you earn your money to fund them fella!! haha
