Small update. Took off the strut brace as it was rubbing on the engine cover and doing my head in. Gona order a seat sport one when I'm back from holiday.
Treated my self to a seat sport gear knob today though

looking good mate, like the black style gear knob, instead of the metal looks good.

Eventualy got round to fitting my center sun visor today, only had it about 3 months (had to pinch the retaining screw to hold it in out of the gf's mk4 golf as I forgot to get one hope she dont try to use here's) and got round to properly sorting out the wiring for my boost gauge (no more beeping on the start up sequence now )

My parents have an 08 plate FR and they have an indent in the roof lining but dont have a centre sunvisor. So if I made a hole in the roof lining for the screw - you reckon there'd be the bit behind that i could screw it into?

Didn't wanna risk it on their brand new car and then get left with a hole in their roof lining.

 

[Damoegan]

Yea mate there will be a hole for the screw to go into. I just used a pin to locate it and then made a very small cut with a knife where it was. It took a while to finde the hole as the roof lining is actualt quite thick (about 10mm)

Another small update. Has anyone noticed the huge restriction in the cupra intake!! I set about it with the dremel and the differance is great. I was gona do the airbox but bot rained off, but I'll have another go tomorrow.

forgot to take a pic before I started but here we go anyway.

The restriction that I removed

The results

I'll give the airbox a good smoothing tomorrow as long as I dont get rained off.

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Yeh it is pretty restricted as standard. Big flap covers half of that!!! I cut mine when I put my PD160 intake in. But i did a neater job than that.

All i did with the air box was take the big pipe that comes out half way through the air box inside.

 

[Damoegan]

I know it dont look that neat in the pics but once it was finished off with a bit of wet & dry and cleaned up it had a very good finish to it.

I'll see how busy I get at work tomorrow and pray for no rain so I can get the airbox done.

 

[Damoegan]

Smoothed the airbox today

The finished results were alot better after some time spent with the wet & dry. Turbo whistle is a bit louder now

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Mine didnt have that....must just be a Cupra thing?

 

[Damoegan]

That is the top half, after the filter. The bottom half has a few bits I will take off when I get the time but noware near as much as the top.
