Wills Blue Mk3 Ibiza Cupra

[Willxr]

Hi guys, just become a full member so thought it was about time to show you my car!

Picked this up about a month ago, 80k on the clock,fmic, naff exhaust and filter ect ect which will be replaced soon! all for £1600

An hour after getting it home i was stuck in traffic and the car overheated, honestly thought id bought a lemon but then had a quick search on here and found out it was the fan fuse had melted! quick modification and a new fuse holder sorted that!

In the back of my mind i thought that the car felt abit flat to drive, backed up by the engine management light being on! Kindly Emlyn11 off here offered to plug it in to vagcom and after sorting all the codes one wouldnt dissapear.... cps correlation was out (something like that anyway!)

So yeah basically the timings out where the timing belts been incorrectly fitted
Will hopefully get it sorted soon though as i miss driving it!

Anyway onto some pics

has the 'S' badge changed colour, or is it just the light?

 

[Willxr]

Yeah its now black, had some black sticky back plastic laying about so thought why not

Looks better from afar though as i rushed it

 

[joehirth]

Never seen this around - do you not drive it lol, looks pretty smart though . Did you get the timing belt sorted in the end?

 

[Willxr]

Haha i drive it most days, i was working in Woking today actually

Cheers man, yeah its all sorted now. Spent a fair bit of money i wernt expecting on it but shes running sweet now

 

[joehirth]

I wasn't there lol. That's the only problem with these cars they require a fair bit of looking after . Glad it's all sorted

 

[Willxr]

So yesterday i took the 4 hour round trip to Cambridgeshire to pick up a Supersprint cat-back and front upper strut brace and today they got fitted! much better than what was in there before!

Also debadged it after that photo was taken

Since the last update iv also fitted 2 more coilpacks(all 4 now new), Airflow meter and 8000k hids which has brought the front end right up to date!

Next up is mapping and coilovers

Good progress

 

[conrad20010]

for some reason this car looks familiar where did u get it off mate? pistonheads?

 

[Willxr]

Cheers Claire

Umm na got it off of Autotrader, picked it up from the Isle of Sheppy so you may of seen it around there? :S

 

[conrad20010]

nah im from the midlands lol i seen it on autotrader im sure it was up for mega bucks when i seen it though? i was looking for one at the time and that kept catching my eye but was way too far for me to travel cnt remebre how much it was up for but was way more than 1600 im sure haha

 

[Willxr]

I think it was up for about £2500 iirc, turned up to look at it and the bloke was selling it for his son so didnt know anything about it. The engine management light was on and it drove like **** but took a gamble and offered him £1500 which he said no to, so i drove off and parked round the corner.
He rang 5 minutes later and said £1600 and we'v got a deal haha. Turns out the timing belt was a tooth out so an hours labour and it was sorted!
Cost me a fortune since then though

 

[conrad20010]

haha got a steal then what else u had to spend a fortune on just general stuff?

 

[Willxr]

Just general service items like plugs ect, then it went through 4 coilpacks, airflow meter and all the modifications. Should probably break even when i come to sell it though
