Cant remember of anything else at the moment.

I know ive got too much gear to install but since i am working on a construction site, i aint got any day offs the last few months (years maybe)...

The car handles and drives really well i can say. Running 9boost 8 or 9 advance during winter (after logging it of course), the Toyos made a HUGE HUGE difference on the Greek worn tarmacs...in fresh tarmac the car drives 100 times better than before. I am not a fan of drag racing. I preffer twisty country roads

Need to take a few days off to install all of my engine gear at least, as well as a new 70mm cat back system (instead of my 63.5 one), adjust my coilovers and ionstall double bump stops as my plastic arches have huge holes on them, update revo a bit and a couple of things.

My car hasnt got many miles in it yet so upgrading the turbo isnt what i am currently planing for. (rather keep the money and get a 09 busa is what i am planning to do)

Thats it for now.

Will get back with some proper pics of the engine, interior and exterior.

car looks good in the pics look forward to seeing the pics with the new stuff fitted. your current exhaust is a very different approach.

 

[brwmogazos]

Nah.

Arround here these cars are popular.

I currently had a 63.5mm exhaust...went decat and 70mm on the DP to lower the CF of the car and for more power on high revs...the car is running full boost anyways.

Going Full 70mm i think...

Car runs a lot better with the 70mm dp and decat...drag raced a mate before the difference was big. At the end of the day it depends on the code of the car and the peripherals...


Thanks for the comment Al...youre the only one lol...

 

[Hartosh1]

Nice car dude but it is a different approach to the exhaust did you not like the standard look?

 

[brwmogazos]

You mean the rear tail pipe?

The stock was good. I upgraded the whole exhaust so the rear pipe had to go. These tail pipes are quite standard arround here nowadays.

In fact most manufacturers use the same layout. ie jap style exhausts.

Its all about performance. So 63.5mm is what everyone used to go for. However in the road to fine tuning 70mm exhausts etc became even more standard so...

 

[brwmogazos]

Ok nearly finished with my mods...

well in fact i think ill stay with my current setup for a while....its running great on 9boost and 9 timing (maxxed Revo settings)

Fitted the rear S3 brakes, the fog bone (the vibration was intolerable in the beggining...but its a lot smoother now...still with climate control on its driving you mad....lol), fitted the thermostat, rear anti sway bar (rear is a lot better now) blah blah and i also changed all of the coolant with the best performing Repsol Puro. I know its not G12 but the organic is not imported arround here. Repsol states there is no prob whatsoever...



few pics from the recent mods and the exterior view of the beeza

looks good, will be even better when the stuff "sitting on your desk" is on

 

[cupra.al]

where did you get you the honeycombe centre grill from?

 

[turbo009]

Nice list of long spec. Pictures are good,looking really nice and clean.

 

[brwmogazos]

Ouch been ages since i last checked my thread...

lol

The honeycomb is made by MS designs i think....the previous owner bought is so i dont really know details...its a kit with the side grills...


Ordered some 330x32 6 piston brakes with callipers and 2 piece discs etc...gonna be installing a new smaller jap style looking end muffler soon as well as painting or foiling with 3M carbon foil, the lower lip of the front bumper...

Finally when the weather gets better i will be repainting the wheels in dark grey since antracite is not known arround here....unfortunately...

 

[turbo009]

anthracite been the fashion for a few years now here. But looks good on almost any colour car

 

[brwmogazos]

SO..

spent the last few days in garages in Athens in order to upgrade a few more things on my ride...

I think it looks meaner now...

Fitted my XYZ 330x32 6 pot calliper brake kit...Stopping power is better..also bite of the callipers to the touch on the brake pedal is quicker...sorry for the bad description but my english aint that good...

Havent had time to test them from v high speeds or in uphill runs...since they are still quite new...300Kms driven approximately....


Also...i wanted to paint the frong cupra lip on my bumper to match the antracite look of the grille etc...
Decided to do some car foiling there with 3M carbon foil. This foil is excellent and has a v good quality. You can feel to the touch the pattern. I decided to foil the mirror covers too to match them...
Spent 160 euro there...which is not cheap...oh well...

FInally installed a new end muffler. Went for the jap style look a bit since i got bored of my huge end muffler pipe... The new muffler is tiny. 120mm in diameter and 450mm in length with a tailpipe of just 80mm to get that big turbo look i always liked.) Its more noisy of course...but hey...who doesnt like engine sound lol.

Gonna order the INA manifold too in a few days to get some extra power out of my maxxed K03s...and then maybe my first and last dyno run...
Will get the wheels repainted, hoping for the painter to match the antracite colour i initially asked for....Maybe ill ask them to match the color of the OZ ultraleggeras...graphite...I hope they match this colour this time...

Will keep you updated.

Heres some random pics from my garages visit in Athens to complete my mods...

Small update...

have already driven the car for arround 600kms...unfortunately the wheather has been rainy most of the time.

I can see the marks made by the pads on the discs are bigger now...nearly all of the discs are worn slowly so the pads are making better contact now.

I think in a few more km driven they should be ready for some serious testing lol...

That also explains, the feeling of a better bite when pushing the brake pedal compared to the Galfers.
Stopping power is better with the 6 calipers, however i need to take the car on a twisty road when the wheather gets better in order to have a full idea on their performance...

I am sure with a new set of pads (DS2500) in the future, stopping power will be even greater

Lovin your Ibiza! Wish I had a red one now! Mind me asking where you bought your front grills?

 

[brwmogazos]

They were purchased from a store here in Greece.

they are MS Design if i am not mistaken.

they were quite expensive too along with the side grilles.

Youd be better getting an FK grille or make your own one. It will be much cheaper...

 

[ado_boro]

Ok, thanks for the advice!
