Mk4 Ibiza Cupra (picture heavy)
 

Heres a few pictures of the new car when i first got it, completly standard from seat main dealers in Derby, next to my old saxo:

These treats arrived:



Lowered it on the TA Technix





and added the forge 007p and open cone filter

Removed the fogs and sound proofing, this is how it sounds


(sorry about this shit quality)

Nice ;) I bet that shifts!

Tint filmed the fogs yellow using lamin-x

Added a dicksound stickers, one on the rear window one on the front:

Cheers man :y:

Very nice :D
I'd quite like one of these as my next car. Need to decide where i'm going to live to find out if i can insure one first though :p

What's the inside like? My mate used to have a Mk3 one... that was really nice :)

Insurance isn't too bad, mines £998 fully comp on this and a saxo vtr, all mods declared on both

i'll get some pictures of the inside up in a second mate

Best time for the day:

Reaction: 0.3545 seconds

The back looks lower than the front, shouldn't it be level for handling?

Looks nice though, love vag turbo engines.

it is level mate, the front end lifts up really easily when you put your foot down, if you look at it on a flat its sound :y:

lol... try mentioning handling on the VW forums!


I just had a look at insurance for this car... just under three grand :( Think i'll be sticking with my diesel for a while :D


you got any plans for it?

looks good man!

im looking for coilovers for my MKII Leon!
and a set of Merc wheels! lol.

Absolutely love this mate, still considering buying one of these for my next car come October time after 2 years no claims (touch wood), tossing and turning between one of these and;

Clio 182
Fiesta ST

how old are you mate? my insurance is £998 fully comp on this and a saxo vtr, and i'm 21




yeah man do it, merc wheels look spot on, the ones that look almost like full hubs yeah?




cheers man :y: yeah i was looking at the ST too, never really been a fan of the clio, when people ask you what car you drive and you say "a clio" the image people first get is a shitty 1.2 sport or something, in the end i settled for vag, plus i've always wanted something with a turbo

I'm 20, but going to be 21 in a couple of weeks time. Only just got my second year of no claims today though... so i think that's holding me back. On my home postcode my bora would be 2300 to insure!
It's under a grand at my uni address though.

I've never crashed or anything, but i didn't know that if i cancelled a policy after 10 months i'd loose that from my no claims. I've actually been driving for nearly four years with the same insurance company... but through me scrapping cars and going on holiday, i've only managed to get two years on continuous policy :(

Oh well.. at least i'll save me pennies on fuel. Saying that i put 75 quid of diesel in it today... and it wasn't even full :(

£75 and not full? lol. I've got a bora and it cost £62 to fill up.
whys the insurance so much to? for me to insurance a bora tdi 110 its 1.5k fully comp without any no claims

sorry for going off topic

to continue with the off topic, cost me 90 + to full the leon :(

to get nearly 300 miles out of it :D

I get 600 miles from £62 :D

150 miles to £40 for me

£2300? thats ridiculous, what engine is the bora?

Only the 1.9 tdi. like.. 110bhp :(

It's all down to post code, put in a different postcode and that price halves. Just need to get the money together for the deposit on a new policy now!

if i remember right this is where i left off - video of me on the strip

Nathan introduced a new car to the dicksound club...




got some pressed plates made:

then this happened...




i lost drive to all 6 gears, each time i put the clutch in the car would made a very loud knocking noise, i could pull the clutch out in any gear and the engine would also continue to idle fine, i originally thought i'd fucked my clutch, but it could also be my driveshafts or diff - anyway i was towed off the track...

heres my score paper showing my 'run aborted'



i was then towed again, out of santa pod up to the main gate to be recovered by the AA



and after waiting for 2 hours for the AA a van finally arrived



and the driver said he couldn't tow me, and gave me this



"vehicle to low to vrs" - which meant i had to wait for another three hours for a flatbed







i finally got home at 9:40, having broken down on the strip at 2:30

Adam Kelly (a lad from cupranet) came over and we had the wheel off, the driveshaft on the drivers side is completly fucked, this is what fell out when we removed it



i'm looking at ordering a replacement tomorrow, i was lucky that the diff, clutch and box are all fine :y:

also someone came across this from modifiedcars.com

so for a week i was driving a 54brake 1.0ltr Nissan Micra Inspiration:




Until the new driveshaft arrived:

a few pictures from the latest EM markeaton meet:





I also cracked my windscreen by knocking the rear view mirror...
