View Full Version : Stoo's Tidy VAG
Picked it up t'other day! Well pleased, surprisingly quick!
I thought it was gonna be proper lethargic compared to the old DC5.
Well it is, but it has serious torque, where the teg didnt!
Anywho
Its a MK4 Ibiza Cupra on a 54 plate in Emocion Red, 26k miles!!!
Got it for a real good price too
At the mo,mods wise, its pretty std.
Its just got a Revo Remap and a boost guage.
Running about 210-220 bhp, 230-240 lbft at the mo.
Will now for sure soon after RR day
It will have a few mods over the coming months but nothing too wild!
Well, thats a lie, but ill keep you informed.
First things first though, a bloody good clean!
Enjoy.
Stu

nice car! i do like the ibiza's... i've been debating about what car to get next, and i'm tempted by the ibiza 130tdi sport. remap, 180bhp and silly silly torque. and... when driven sensibly 60mpg. plus, insurance costs, gp7.
is it laggy at all? i am jealous, i need a job!
its not too bad, obviously if your doing 30 in 4th or 5th and try to accelerate its laggy,until the turb spools, then it pulls like fukk. But if you get it right, drive it properly, its hard to be off boost.
this does about 25-30 MPG pootling to work and back, about 20-25MPG in traffic and about 30-35 on the MWay
not too bad really.
PD130 is a good un too! They looove to slip the clutch though with remaps! clutch upgrade is the answer.
Nice car mate, didn't realise these came with the 1.8T
yeah
so did the MK3 cupra
and the MK4 cupra
and the MK4 FR
all have the 1.8 20vT
although the
MK3 has a K03 turbo with 150bhp
MK4 FR has K03 with 156 BHP
and MK4 Cupra has K03s turbo with 180 bhp std
mines remapped though
Thats a nice big red nob you have there :)
Nice car too!
hahahaha i hate that knob!
cheers

i went out with one that had just been remapped at where i used to work (red dot racing) and it was rapid... 6th gear on the motorway as well. i drive a dturbo 306 currently running 114bhp, so used to the short ratio's and tractor sound... i'd love a late fabia vrs, as they're 150 standard and they were remapped to around 200. traction conrol needed to be on, it'd wheelspin in 3rd on boost... so much torque. as you said, a standard clutch wouldn't last long...
Fabia VRs has the same PD130 engine as standard
130 BHP
229lb ft
but still, once mapped, huge torque numbers and rapid in gear acceleration
chimp007_uk
20-01-08, 02:54 PM
yeh i know... but some of the later ones were 150bhp... i was suprised when they went on the rollers and made 150 straight away... we had two in the same.
the funniest thing i saw was a 70year old guy really posh driving a clio 172... BUT... the guy had spent a fortune on a sweet turbo conversion, and wasn't happy that it was only making 250bhp.. he wanted 300bhp... nutter!
The Seat's have come on leaps and bounds in recent years!
My mate has the old shape one of these, its a cupra R and tbh they go really well, he cans the living ****e of it day in, day out and hasnt gone wrong once!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/lashednova/ShaneLeonCupraRTurbo.jpg
Also got very nice interiors!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/lashednova/SeatShane30.jpg
His is chipped too, was 225 originally, now approx 270-280ish. The Seat is very quick, but seems to lack as much oomph as youd expect in midrange if that makes sense?
Anyway, sorry to hi-jack your thread!
Paul
thats a leon dude
mines an ibiza!
but nice though!
i know what u mean about oomp
1st and second it pulls like fukk, 3rd is a bit bland, but 4th and 5th it goes like a train
in gear it pulls well too
tbh i thought yours was a leon, but just googled it and can confirm yours is in fact an ibiza lol
googled what ya mong?? lol
i 'google imaged' a seat leon + seat ibiza, and now see the blatant difference lol

Ordered an N75J last night, should be here tomorrow.
Along with my Red LEDs to illuminate the Boost Gauge.
I only needed one, but could only get em in packs of 20, so with the others im gonna do some ambient lighting like the recent Minis.
ie, illuminate behind the door pulls, the ashtray, the doorpockets and maybe the footwells
Gonna be ordering 6metres of red 4mm Vac hosing to do the engine bay hoses later on probably.
Thursday im ordering my LCR Splitter and a SplitR R DV from forge too and once that arrives, ill do the vac hoses, DV fitting, N249 bypass and fit the N75 all the same time. Think im gonna mod the engine cover too so i can still have it fitted with the SplitR

i can see it being TOO much red if painted!

Who's good with photoshop.....

Grille is already in hand
itll either stay as it is, which i prefer over debadged ones
or the slats horizontal rather than vertical

If I'd known you were putting dice dust caps on I'd have said they'd look tacky.... but you've managed to pull off a little bit of tack quite nicely. :D
Good choice on the rims.
Why thankyou very much matt
i dont care if people like them or not really, just fitted em cos i likes em, and they are something different and a wee bit of a joke really!
New addition today
FK Black rear lights
not overly impressed by the fit, but ill sort that at a later date, and as they are euro imports, i need to switch the wiring over for the fog/reverse

Looking good Stoo
Can you get tinted headlights? or are those as dark as they come?
Much more agressive rear end now, with the new lights, the fitting isn't that bad at all really
Its look very cool.
The lights/wheels suit the cars colour scheme very well :cool:
headlights are pretty darks as they are
i want darker side reps though
fit isnt equal both sides on the rears, but aint THAT bad really
i think it looks more aggro too!
just the way i likes it!
needs decking now though, worked out i can drop it about 80-90 on the front and between 90-110 on the back

15-02-08, 03:56 PM
How about taking a can of Satin Black paint to the rub strips down the sides?
Would add to the theme well imo
get out my head oli!!

its going in for the repair to the wing soon, so i may have them done gloss to match the mrrors
but im not sure yet
i wanna do something with the roof too, but unsure on solid black or a black/red checker

I reckon carbon fibre the roof, lower it and lose the rub strips and you're done! Maybe a bit pricey but think of the weight savings:D
Its for sale its for sale its for sale!!!
