My Mk3 Imperial Blue Ibiza Cupra * Final Update 30/5/10*

Air con pipe touching oil filter

I have a Seat Ibiza cupra

I'm in the process of carrying out an oil change and noticed that one of the air con pipes is in contact with the oil filter and this cannot be correct. There must have been some alterations to the set up by a previous owner. Not sure if the part is correct. Please can supply some pics of your air con set up showing the view underneath around the oil filter area.

Thanks
Dave

Had the postman come round yesturday. Ibiza Cupra R brembo's

And last of all, got the car mapped today, wooooop
Need to get a new maf as mine is reading abit low and i didnt get chance to see what the car could do as i blew off an intercooler pipe. Hopefully it should all be good for a nice drive and clean tomorrow

 

[Matt S!]

Car looks great after the detail !

 

[lm_gauci]

Yeah really pleased with it. Well worth the money.

Just wondered, i have my new brembo's with the carrier, can i use my standard carrier bolts to attach it to the hub or are they different? (if anyone knows)

 

[tarzan]

lol poped of mine did two times to you know hove much bhp you got now??

 

[lm_gauci]

I've got plenty for the time being, lol.

Apparently someone with the same set up as me had 242bhp but i'll get it rolling roaded to see. Hopefully should see 230bhp.

nice pretty fast thenhybrid turbo next then

 

[lm_gauci]

The hybrid turbo can wait, need to get used to this power first.

After i had the car detailed by maz a few weeks ago ive been looking at buying a foam lance and pressure washer. So, a new foam lance and snow foam off ebay and a pressure washer from tesco which turned out to be

This was a perfect excuse to give the car another clean, i didnt get any pictures of the foam as i was playing around with it too much.

Cheers Liam I am so pleased you are enjoying the car now its been detailed and thank you for your kind words. You still owe me a ride in the car btw!

Im Gauci,

Car is looking fab mate. Loving the new look. Subtle mods but makes it look the business.

Really please for you on the detailing session. Looks spot on.

Your have to take me out for a ride soon. I bet the power on the car is awsome now? Spool up must be better etc? How does it hold. Enjoying the sound of the chattering from the FMIC?

Keep up the good work chap.

Steve

Loving it at the minute, although its dirty again with the crap weather

Last week was abit of nightmare though. A new maf and 4 coilpacks later and its running good again. Will be getting it rolling roaded as soon as i can be bothered to smooth my airbox.

Performance is crazy, cant believe the difference now. Still need to get used to the power though, i'm being very gentle in the wet.

Halfway through refurbing my brembo's at the minute and theres not much i want to buy for it so will get out and enjoy it.

Liam

 

[sooty16v]

Nice work dude!

Look forward to more updates!

 

[lm_gauci]

Not much of an update but i've been slowly refreshing the brembo's over xmas. Put my brembo decals on today, will hopefully get them all laquered up this week or next.

Just hoping they'll fit under my d90's.
