my cars

[turboboy]

been wanting to do this for a while and thought id share with you the cars i have had since the age of 18.

first we have my y plate black ibiza cupra, i was 18 when i bought the car and it was only 1 and a half years old. there wasnt much in the way of tunning when i first had this car so it was mapped and lowered during the 1st year i had it. as time went on i added more bits as they came available. At the time i was working for renault and thats when the laguna intercooler came about. (this being the first laguna intercooled car) soon after a few guys started putting the ko3s turbos on ibizas and this car was also one of the first ko3s ibiza to be converted.

i had this car for about 3 years and really loved it. it was well known for being a very quick car. i then sold it to a friend he was also very happy with it.


next we had my boyhood dream car. my 1997 lotus elise, this car was a bell&colvile super 160 car.

i done about 8k during summer months in this and loved every single one of them i also sold it for more than i payed for it.

next up we have the fasted car i have ever driven. this car was a weapon, many people inc me thought this was too fast for the road. its my 330bhp ihi powered ibiza cupra. i bought this car already convered thinking it would save me lots of cash but soon after buying it i realized there were alot of things id like to change. i fitted a new pro alloy fmic, willwood 4 pot brakes, coilovers, strut braces all, round smoothed bumper with middle bar cut out defi boost gauge,full set of vibra tech mounts and lots of engine bling. this car very soon became a car people talked about alot and still to this day ask me things about this car. the power was unreal, every gear pulled pretty much like the gear you just changed from, it just didnt slow down it would wind the speedo off the clock with ease and i also done a proven 164mph in it.

i do have some better pics of this car but they are on another computer i will upload some better ones when i get the chance. i sold this car very sortly after finishing it due to the attention it got also i think if i hadnt some it i would of hurt myself. i sold this car to molehill mike

now the car i regret selling the most. my azure blue lotus elise super 160. this car again had the super 160 pack but also had a 4-2-1 manni, s2 shocks and springs with lowering brakets, uprated brakes and other bits and bobs. the best thing about this car was it could get out of shopping center car parks by actually goin under an unraised barrier. i miss this car sooo much enjoy the pics

this was ment for readers rides section so if someone could move it that will be grand thanks for comments so far im still uploading pics tho

 

[turboboy]

now my current car. its a ibiza cupra R, i bought this car standard last year and i really do like it. current spec is

ko4 023 turbo
225 injectors
3inch maff
225 tip
strut braces
ths fmic
h&r hup kit defi boost gauge
light weight g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch
forge dv007
decat
engine bling and other bits and bobs (its hard to remember it all)

since these pics its had a full respray i just havnt had chance to get some pics of it yet.

i had this car remapped again by bill (badger 5) the other week as i felt there was power in the setup i had. the difference between my old and new map is night and day, i really cant prase bill enuff for the way he has mapped my car its really nice to drive much better just crusing,part throttle and full throttle its also better on fuel as well. if your looking for a stage 3 map bill is your man you only need to look at his workshop to understand the standard that this man works at so from me. thanks bill, if you see this and still have my logs please feel free to post them.

so this is where i am at now, this car is finished bar little niggle bits i hope you enjoyed lookin at my cars and ill upload some pics of my respray as soon as i get some good ones

thanks turboboy

3 cupras! lucky man.. but which has been your favourite cupra??

 

[turboboy]

my current cupra R. its alot more useable power much more suited to the road imo and because its an R there isnt many about, i love the yellow and its lush now its been sprayed. its just all the extra bits as well like brembos the stitching in the seats ect.

 

[turboboy]

better ihi pics added... enjoy
