Right well bought my cupra 2 weeks ago and thought id start a progres thread!

here it is as i got it.









Here is the spec:

Revo Stage 1
Bilstein Shocks
Lowered 30mm on Eibach Springs
Cat Back Milltek Exhaust System
Boost Gauge

so the project began and i got a civic stubby aerial, an lcr splitter , and wiring in my my boost gauge in









so i wired in the boost guage so it fades with the existing dash light and moved it out of the cupra r guage holder into a single guage holder, which i think looks muchbetter





what do you think?

have more plans in the pipe line, fmic and milltek downpipe

very nice, what make of gauge is it? looks very tidy!

very nice looking ibiza matey! looks factory, which i my eyes is a good thing sometimes!

Crazy how the lcr splitter changes th front end i think........as above that boost gauge is tidy wat make is she....gotta love the red backlight makes it look like the gauge is standard.....good work!!

Got some bits ordered this weekend so a bit in the pipeline now!!

Since last update

LCR splitter
Have sprayed the interior door handles gloss black looks mint am really pleased pics to follow!!

coming this week

Big Jetex open filter
Silicon 45 degree joiner to go with it
silicon vac hoses to clean up the bay a bit

speaker adapters to get some better speakers in dont know if this will make a difference without changing the HU

Coming soon
Milltek Downpipe with high flow cat
Front mount of some sort possibly THS as i haven got loads of cash at the moment
Some new brakes (hopefully)
Forge tip (unsure due to the fitting)

In the future

New suspension not sure what hight yet
New wheels (schmidt modernlines if they will fit)
further silicon goodies and engine bay clean up!!





Jetex arrived yesterday and its about the size of my head!!

well fitted my filter last night sounds really good just got some slight adjustments to do and got to fabricate someting to support it

looks nice, jabba sport do a really nice heat shield for their induction kits, that will also hold it in place...not sure if you can get hold of it seperately though...

didnt fancy paying 200 + for it though!!

might enquire and see if they do the heat shield sepperately!

Right had a busy weekend tidying up the engine bay and adding things

Added the jetext filter
fabricated a braket to stop it moving around

Replaced all vac tubes with blue silicon ones

N249 Bypass done

Stainless steel battery cover
Fusebox relocated!!

Pics to follow!!!

As above i have had a busy weekend and here are the pics of my work!!

Wasn't helped by the flat tyre i got on friday night screw in the tyre



Rolling on 2 inch wheel with 20mm spacers i think it needs 50mm hahaha!!:D





Anyway after i sorted that out with a new tyre on saturday I got to work on the stuff id planned

1) Replaced all the vac tubes with silicon alternatives and carried out the N249 bypass








2) Fabricated a bracket to hold my new jetex filter in place its not solid as a rock and doesn't look to bad either!!!






3) Relocated the fusebos and added a nice shiny battery cover




Im very pleased with it all the bracket looks nice and holds the cone well, and the DV now makes a much sharper noise!


Here are some pics of my resprayed door handles that i did a couple of weeks ago in gloss black








What do you all recon

looks good! i was thinking of getting a shiny battery cover but wasnt sure how it would look, might invest in one now

Looks really good just tidies it up nicely thinking im going to get an oil catch tank aswell soon.

looking good

Bang tidy! Nice one matey

Looking sweet mate
