Hi Dan,
We would be interested in your progress as we'd like to convert ours to a more track focus'd car.
But as Pete has hinted it seems there are very few mk4 ibiza cupra track cars here.
Have we made a mistake! :-(

as you can see thats about all the dash i am fitting no heater box and i have purchased a light weight heater box just enough to clear the screen

subscribed :)

We've started with suspension, brakes, wheels, tyres, and a few engine basic mods.
So you are well ahead of us with the cage job! Proper job mate.

I need to post up some pics of our work here and I'll take some photos tomorrow.

Cheers, John

car looks great,
What trackdays do you both usually go to?
Mines a track car aswell, still need to get a roll cage though, need to wait till iv got the cash for it but once that's fitted that'll be my car just about finished.
I always thought the standard ap were great never any brake fade, I'm running k sport now because the ap were always a pain changing the brake pads/disks.

I had to rebuild my AP callipers as well, and yes its a major PITA.
I still want the old ones you have Pete!
I wish I had the cash for the K Sports as that's probably the best way to go Dan.
I have seen pics on here and it looks ace and still fits under the 17s AFAIK.

Pete my email is jannerboy at a very popular email account that begins with g....if you wanted to email me to discuss matters further? Send me a test email.

Look forward to reading your readers ride. Don't think I'll make one to much typing for me, plus can't remember half the stuff iv done to the car iv had it 7 years. Finally bought some bucket seats so looking for to not having to use my knees and holding onto the steering wheel to keep in my seat.

I'm hoping to head south and do some track days in the next few months might try booking on to the same ones as you Dan.
