Mk3 Ibiza Cupra owners.....

[fishtoasty]

Looking to buy a seat ibiza cupra mk3, but was wondering if you can get a tdi version of the cupra in the mk3 model???

If so which is better in terms of speed, acceleration, torque etc, and which is most readily tunable??



Thanks guys and girls...

Dont make a Tdi cupra Mk3 mate no.

 

[fishtoasty]

they do in the mk4 though???

yup

They do a TDi Mk3 Ibiza, but it's not a Cupra, so no toys, bumpers etc.

In the Mk4 they do the 160bhp Diesel and the 180bhp Petrol 1.8T. Both are tuneable, but depends what you're after. For big power the petrol will be the most tuneable I would of thought, 350bhp region. Not sure how far you can go with the diesel engines.

Not sure how far you can go with the diesel engines.

about stage 2 and then your quits, the torque slips the clutch and imagine the extra torque on all the bearings etc, petrol tuning is much safer IMO

The 110bhp TDi is like the 1.6 Sport. Side skirts, computer, suspension, etc... just no Cupra bumpers and higher power figures.

yea, the tdi sport does have toys, the sport is basically a cupra without the bumpers and the power

 

[sssstew]

yup agreed, mines nearly the same spec as the cupra, bar some nice stuff like 1/2 leather seats, painted side skirts and bumper bottoms.

The mk3 TDI sport was the top of the TDI range for only 6 months in the UK so are quite hard to find.

I seen sumwhere that they do make a mk3 cupra diesel but its only an imported one, could be wrong tho but hey

 

[sssstew]

not that im aware of.

you can make your own diesel cupra. There are some people here that have done that. Just with replica material.

70 pound for a replica front bumper (primed) for example.

Isn’t very difficult to make and you’ll have something special

 

[sssstew]

you would need front bumper, front grille meshes, bumper inserts, front and rear seats, gear knob, dials, wheels and to colour code the side skirts... theres probably more if i thought about it...

The 110 Sport is a good buy, just buy some decent 16s, slam it with a Cupra front bumper and stick your Recaros in (yes, they'll slot in!)

You're on clubpolo aren't you?

 

[fishtoasty]
