I think money will stop me from rushing anyways mate

 

[Hartosh1]

Still no wheels yet but im hoping to get them within the next 2 weeks

I do have 1 small update though nothing exciting

Also purchased a new Jetex off Bill and its massive

 

[R1ch85]

Very nice bud, how costly may I ask? I need 2 new fronts pretty badly!

Also, pics of said Jetex? I wanna see how it compares to mine

 

[Scott-o]

Yeehhh, good choice on tyres you get 205's? Looking forward to seeing the 5's!

 

[Hartosh1]

Rich i got all 4 tyres for £267

I Scott they are 205/40 i love the tread on these paradas mate

Heres said Jetex i will need to get my old one off and compare them as the one i have on just now is pretty big but i reckon this is bigger

Im sorry for phone pics mate but my digi cam has decided to die on me

 

[R1ch85]

Seems a good price! They're supposed to be amazing in the dry, but I've not heard great things about wet weather performance unfortunately I like the Falken's I have now, but the grip is really deteriorating now they're running a bit low. They haven't lasted as well as I'd hoped either really. I'm considering Toyo T1-R's, but they don't last well either apparently.

Filter looks very similar to mine, FC8001 I think mine is

 

[Hartosh1]

I have the FR8001 mate its slightly bigger there is comparisons in Bills section! Ive had the Toyos before and they dont last long at all especially on the front wheels thats why im trying the paradas! Ive heard they can be a bit unpredictable in the wet but i do love the tread pattern

Ive got a friend who highly rates the Falkens mate maybe you could stick with them?

Allnewtyres was the website mate very cheap i saved £25 on camskill

your love the paradas there pretty awesome tyres in the dry and there not to bad in the wet either they still grip well no worse than some other brands.

Thanks for the info al thats what i wanted to hear

Right got one question guys i bought this LCR Maf a while back i was just wondering is it missing a part and if it is will i need it when i put it on for hybrid or will it be ok without it? Also will i need to swap the connectors round or is the LCR Maf good to go the way it is?

You can see the part im talking about when i compare the Ibiza Maf to the LCR Maf
Ibiza

LCR

Also made a start on removing the turbo all ive got to do is disconnect downpipe and oil and coolant lines then hey presto if only it was as easy as that

Also took my tip off to find it had a tiny hole in the side where it was rubbing on a clip which must of been causing it to collapse and hit limp mode (i hope) so thats another £130 for a tip

 

[Hartosh1]

Well ive waited over 4 weeks for these and finally they arrived today im well chuffed with them! Ive test fitted one of the wheels as i was in a rush to get tyres fitted today so i could fit the wheels tomorrow. These are lighter than the standard cupra alloys by a bit id say

Heres a couple of crappy phone pics with some soap

Pics of them on the car to follow tomorrow
