hey guys, been in Northumbria for few days so Im catching up. Gordz, any luck with those springs mate? by 'springs', I mean getting the wheels off! hehe

ha, no not yet, still waiting for my crap halfords to order in the breaker bar I need to get the bloody wheels off!!!!

AND... i've hit another problem, i can't get my old back box off, all the nuts are completely rusted on and all the tools i've tried on them are just no use at all! i've come to the conclusion that at the moment, my car is just crap!!!!

BUT... exams are over :D so I can now spend every waking minute faffing around (technical phrase) with my beautiful ibiza!! :funk:

Not cut a gap in yet, but don't think i will, as i need a new back bumper anyway and am on the look out for a red cupra one!
Still i reckon it looks pretty good if i don't say so myself!

Well done mate, doesn't look too bad ya know!! Would look better with a cut out tbh, as it's highly unlikey a red cupra bumper will turn up anytime soon! Plus think about it, ud have to either colour code ur existing front bumper or get a cupra front bumper aswell??

looks nice, is it loud? vids? Oh and tbh im not so keen on your stickers on the back (tranmere rovers?):p

Yeah, noise is perfect, not chavvy at all, it's got a nice deep low noise grumble. lol. similar sound actually that you get from like subarus etc i reckon! Will try and get a video done, but only if i remember!
Guy at local garage who helped me with a bit of welding said that a mate of his bought this exact model back box for his car and it cost him £380!!!!!! I think i've got a right bargain there costin me just over a 100!!!! lol

Lol, i used to live and was brought up like 10 mins from the ground, so got stuck supportin the mighty tranmere rovers!!!
Still, i'd rather support a nice little club that's cheap to get in and can actually see the matches live, rather than a stupidly highly priced money making liverpool, man u or chelsea..... who needs champions league finals when you've got the Johnston Paint Trophy!!! lol

Well i'm gonna look out for a cupra bumper, front and rear this next month or so, and if can't find anythin then will just get standard rear and make cut out for exhaust.

sorry if sounding thick.... but what do you mean by 'pop'???? and yeah i've noticed that it's quite a bit louder today than yesterday. guy at garage reckoned will take about a couple of weeks till gets to it's 'full potential of noise' lol


need I even comment back? :cartman:

lol, no... no comment is required for that!!! talking of cups though... we did get to the final of worthington cup back in 2000 against leicester city at the old wembley which i went to :D who do u support anyway????

Gordz how easy was it to change over? Did you do it yourself, can you give a guide? I've seen a remus zaust im liking at the mo and the description sounds what im after. Can you do it yourself or does a garage need to 'plumb' it all together etc??

Well... it would have been really easy as it was a direct fit back box, so was exactly the same layout and pipe work as original, but I had to go garage to get the old nuts and bolts off etc as they'd just all rusted and wouldn't come off at all... on a couple of the bolts, the nut had rusted on so much that they had to weld it off!!!!!

So, i guess that as long as the original fixings of your back box / pipe leading to the front aren't rusted or coroded too badly, then would be simple 15min job!!!!!!

Some1 posted about that grill before. Looks ok, as in 'I went for this cos I couldn't get a cupra one'? Shame they haven't got a pic of it on the car. The fittings look weird and its a bit gappy!
