Hey guys, and girls.. 
i decided after about 9 months of owning my Ibiza i would put together a build thread. i doubt much major progress will be on the cards yet, as im still only part time contract at my work. but as soon as this is resolved, i will be hybriding the car, changing all the suspension, poly bushing, and fitting an FMIC, wmi and some other bits and bobs.
Starting from the begining:
i bought a 51plate ebony black ibiza cupra it had 108k miles, and cost about 2grand, and has some goodies, the advert was:
Full Seat Service History up to ~75k. From then on its had its oil changed every 4-5k with VW Synta Gold 5W-40 Fully Synthetic oil. (Ive personally done 5 oil changes and 2 filter changes since buying the car with 78k on the clock!).
A/C, ABS, TCS, Electric windows + mirrors.
Timing belt and Water pump done at 79k with full coolant flush and change.
Had a full 80k service replacing the clutch and flywheel (listed below), fuel filter, pollen filter, spark plugs (one heat range colder as the car is mapped), oil change + filter along with new front pads and rear discs. I also replaced the coolant temp sensor as they are common faults on these. The n75 valve (solenoid valve which regulates the boost) was also replaced at 82k as it was on its way out.
The car has been inspected by several friends who are VW service techs and everything is in excellent order.
Modifications -
ICR 4 pot brembo upgrade (bought new from Seat by a previous owner!).
ICR OZ SuperTurismo Alloy wheels 16x7 4x100 et35 (Again bought new from Seat along with the brakes! These are specific fitment for the brakes and are modified by Seat at the factory to increase caliper back spacing. These are also rather rare!).
4 Brand new 205/45/16 Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's
New Ferodo DS2500 Front pads and standard fit Rear discs at 81k
FK Sport Edition+ Coilovers (height and 6way damping adjustable).
Seat sport MOMO front upper strut brace.
Revo Stage 1 Also have an SPS2 controller which will be included with the car. This is the latest version which includes a 100Ron fuel setting.
Pipercross Viper carbon enclosed induction kit with cold air feed down to the front of the bumper.
Lightened single mass MK2 Golf GTi 16v/G60 228mm flywheel and uprated VR6 clutch fitted at 82k along with new release bearing and pressure plate.
All solenoid valves (N249, N112s) removed and resistored from vacuum system to remove limp mode which is a common fault after remapping these engines.
All standard vacuum hoses ripped out and system redone using black silicone hosing.
Secondary air injection/EGR valve removed and forge delete plate used along with resistor.
Bosche 4bar fuel pressure regulator.
Turbosmart twin port half recirc/half BOV. This has been adjusted for as much recirc as possible.
AutoGauge 30psi Boost Gauge and Oil Temp guage fitted in Nomad twin pillar pod (backlighting matches dash).
Retro fit Aero Wipers/Rear wiper removed
15mm Eibach spacers and longer bolts on the back
Genuine B&M short shift kit and gear knob professionally fitted.
Standard SMIC and Cat-Back milltek stainless system (unfortunatley its a resonating centre section)
Standard Ibiza Cupra interior in black leather with blue Cupra embossed centers with no rips, tears or bolster sag, the rear headrests are modified to sit flush with the rear backrests.
Infinity 6x9 speakers mounted in the parcel shelf by a previous owner
MP3 tape adaptor with hidden wiring allowing for iPod or other mp3 player connection to the standard head unit.
The car has always been run on either Shell V-Power or BP ultimate (NEVER ghetto gas!) and has always been allowed to warm up properly and has again been allowed to cool down before shutting off. Its in excellent condition (I've washed it at least twice a week!), drives superbly and will return ~31 mpg around town and up to ~36 mpg on a long 70-80mph cruise!
since i bought this ive got a set of black Team Dynamics Pro Race 2's wrapped in Pirelli Pzero Nero's 205 45 ZR16 with 5mm spacers on the front to clear the brembo's.
ill put up some pictures and some of the stuff ive done soon...
