my mk3 ibiza ****NEW CAR LAST PAGE****

[sparkie1984]

im as good with mechanics as a chocolate teapot would be at holding hot water

only thing im doing is spraying the bolts to try and help em come off easier! (cars not used all week)

ive got loads on order, brembos, will have new wheels for brembos, forge fmic on order, got a airfilter relocator, but ill do that when i do the fmic so its easier.

my bedroom looks like a storage depot and its doing my birds head in lol!!

Ha Ha, would offer to help you but your a bit of a drive from me!

No exactly what you mean my mum keeps on at me for all the bits laying around, currently got a full engine rebuild setup in the dining room!!!

 

[sparkie1984]

lol nice, why the new engine mate?

my forge fmic has been shipped today!!!! yay!!! cant wait lol, how sad you think, but when youve not been able to go above 3000 rpm without waiting for a hose to blow off for the last 2 months youd be excited too

not sure how long their delivery takes though? hopefully have it for next weekend!

 

[Cupra20]

Preping for BT mate rebuilding my engine got conrods, valves, gaskets etc stacked up waiting to be fitted, i'm sure i can hear them calling me sometimes!! Lol

Not sad at all mate, i'm the same when i order stuff want that day!!
I'd definatly say you'd have for next weekend, they are pretty good on delivery.

 

[sparkie1984]

lol im so impatient it hurts!

so you almost ready to drop it in? cant wait to see some piccies when its done, you doing a work in progress set of pics?

must be amazing to be able to do things like that to a car, i think me and my mate (who also ordered a milltek for his mk4 gti) are gonna attempt the zorsts sometime, again want it fitted yesterday lol!

 

[Cupra20]

Ain't even got it out yet going to do it in a couple of weeks when my mate is of work so he can build it for me. I'll try to get some pics but can't promise anything.

I'm no mechanic but its handy having a mate who is and another who builds engines day in day out!

Exhausts are not that hard really just take your time and it will be done in no time, hardest part will be getting the dp on and off i reckon, i'll tell you next week what its like got mine a p34ch3ys to do.

 

[sparkie1984]

well, how she stands now:

thanks for looking!

 

[sparkie1984]

yaaayyyy its arrived:

nice intercooler. good luck fitting it.

was shocked when I saw how long the nipple is on the forge tip for the N75...its huge!!
Also try getting a straight coupler in the same color blue as the TIP, should look loads better.

Really making an improvement on the car though. good luck working on it

 

[sparkie1984]

thanks reuvers is there any harm in cutting the n75 nipple down? as its a bit too long really! tight on charge pipe!

never really thought about the coupler but its a very good point i just need a straight coupler so should be easy to find on ebay! will get on that actually as like things to look as good as poss!

i think im slowly getting there. but most importantly im learning to do it all myself (very very slowly) luckily i have some good mates who are willing to lend a hand when needed!

 

[Reuvers]

yes, there is absolutely no problem cutting the nipple down on the TIP. Measure the piece of the N75 thats going in, and cut it so the nipple is that much longer. That way the plastic piece of the N75 won't be 'inside' the actual TIP.

Yes its an ordinary hose joiner. I forget the MAF size and don;t know the size of your CAI, but easily measured/searched.

shouldn't cost you more than a tenner delivered.

Its always good having people help when you're not great yourself. As long as you're helping with the work you'll learn

think thats how we all got started

 

[sparkie1984]

yeah ill have a measure while im out there this week!

see what you mean about the n75 mate, another little thing to get sorted!

yeah im slowly learning but considering i could do nothing before the cupra im quite impressed so far

 

[turbo009]

i am jealous Hurry and fit it mate

 

[sparkie1984]

if i could have tomorrow off to do it mate i would! got totally drenched fitting the new crash bar tonight | think i have issues.....

Issues with the car or just issues in general?

When we fitted p34ch3y's we fitted the IC then the crash bar if it's any help.

 

[turboboy]
