Newbie - coming over to the dark side

[BoostinHard]

Hi all !

Just registered to get some info and have a poke about, currently on the hunt for a lovely Ibiza Cupra mk3.

Little bit about me

My names Tom, originally from the midlands, but just moved down to sunny Dorset, I'm a mechanical / electrical and electronic engineer. My car history pretty much consists of the blue oval and Metros, bit of a jump in build quality coming up shortly for me ( I hope ! )

Will reply with some pics when ive found the right car - goodbye for now !

Havnt messed about - bought a Y reg Ibiza Cupra on Thursday; shes flash red, with a few tasty modifications, sorry took so long to post up my success but Ive been busy enjoying 1.8bar of happiness and working out a few teething troubles.

good man not wasting any time what the spec on the cupra then?

 

[BoostinHard]

Been bored to 1851cc, forged pistons and rods, k04 hybrid, very smart exhaust manifold, 630cc injectors, red 2.0t coil packs, running 1.8 bar of boost
Front and rear strut braces, 17x7.5 bbs CVs, coilovers, scorpian exhaust, ds2500 pads, braided hoses

Plans are -

Get some new driveshafts before these implode, need to fix the aircon, battery box in the boot as its just held down with a right codge up at the minute

Get a stubby drivers side mirror, LSD, tidy up the engine bay, tidy up sound system, bigger front snd rear arb's
