Pabs Platinum Grey mk4 Ibiza Cupra - Stage1 OEM++

[Pabs]

Hey All,

Well, I picked the car up yesterday, and have tonight spent most of the evening cleaning the car.

It's a 2004 mk4 Ibiza Cupra, finished in Platinum Grey Metallic paint. Currently, it has a shade over 33k on the clock, so nice and low mileage. It used to belong to a fellow SCN member, who will no doubt want to see what happens to the car as it develops!
I've got a few plans for the car, and I will keep this thread up to date with each change as/when it happens. But for now, here are the pics! Enjoy!

Pabs Platinum Grey mk4 Ibiza Cupra - Stage 1 OEM++



And one for those of you into your detailing: This is a basic clean, polish and wax. I need to claybar the entire car at some point, but this will do, for now

 

[sy785]

im a big fan of these my favourite ibiza and your's looks lovely mate

 

[R1ch85]

looks in great condition! What kinda stuff do you have planned for it? I recall that you Leon was very tastefully modded

 

[Pabs]

Don't want to give too much away (yet) but this will be, as my last SEAT, virtually a total standard look externally, but with some minor enhancements.

I'm not going nuts on it - but I am aiming for OEM++ type styling

Top bombing, Paul

Sounds great, I for one am looking forward to seeing what happens

 

[Pabs]

I have no idea what that means Damoegan, so I'll take it as a compliment

Looks very good mate

 

[Pabs]

Thanks mate!

 

[ATP]

nice!

 

[Pabs]

Well, it didn't take long, and it's nothing exciting, but the first mod is completed:



It's the Citroen C2 aerial. Total cost of £5 delivered.
Reception doesn't seem much worse than standard aerial - and for the amount I use the radio it should be fine.


I've also run a VAG-COM check for errors, and all seems ok, bar 1 code I can't seem to clear:

Address 09 -------------------------------------------------------
Controller: 6Q1 937 049 D
Component: 0000 BN-SG. 1S34
Coding: 16396
Shop #: WSC 06402
1 Faults Found:
01598 - Drive Battery Voltage
27-00 - Implausible Signal

I'm researching into this now.

 

[Damoegan]

Same aerial as me, Paul

 

[cupra.al]

car looks very nice very clean too.
was the forum member called edewer? think that was the name of the guy selling a grey cupra.

 

[Damoegan]

.....was the forum member called edewer?

 

[Pabs]

Yeah you got it mate. Think you've posted on some of his threads before now.

I've got to get on top of the boost issue, as I haven't really noticed it until today, so it may mean a new N75 valve.

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Looking good so far... and the best colour! Keep an eye on this for future mods

Ah, I saw this very car at the JKM rolling road day last month! Think it was 220+ bhp and around 270ft/lb I think. Check their website, the results are on there somewhere.

just come back afters years out of scn, was a massive fan of your leon build and guides, had a tdi cupra at the time, will you be going to that extent of the leon with your current ibiza, just got back into the fold myself with an A3

 

[Pabs]

Rich - yes mate, I know it was at JKM - they're my garage of choice for all work on my car(s).

Paul - no mate, I won't be doing as much to the Ibiza. I do already have a large shopping list, but it's nothing out of the ordinary, plus everything I do to it will already have been done before no doubt.

Hope you enjoy the A3 - i did look at a few before I got this!
