Cupra things

[tonijov]

Well I'm the new owner of Phil's little red car and thought it was about time to make a thread for it.

Picked it up May 31st and while driving back to Melbourne the speedo and tacho randomly died.


Arrived home into the garage with 83,000kms on the dot!

Roadworthy was next and the main things needed to pass:
- New valve cover gasket
- New muffler
- Working instrument cluster.

Pulled cluster apart to replace both stepper motors


The muffler outer sheet had rusted away


In the quest for maintaining the stock sound I decided to cut out the lower sheet and expose fresh metal, it worked.


When it came time to replacing the valve cover gasket I took it a bit further.
Cleaned out the entire intake and gave it some red paint.


Up next was ECU chipping


Before putting it back together I cleaned out the raintray and replaced the cabin filter


SWWWatercooled


Then a great deal came up for a remus exhaust that I had to take


Next on the list is to repaint the spoiler


Meanwhile the black Ibiza has been parked outside and a hit and run right outside the house!
How they managed this I have no idea. Devastating.

Mate I think I need to come around and visit your Seat gang!

[tonijov]

Ha yeah we do have a few Seats including a parts one


Another update to the Ibiza after 16 years the remote fob is finally complete with a cut and coded key!

Some updates:

Did the timing belt, tensioner and water pump along with some cleaning (the hardest part).





Stay tuned for repainted spoiler, led lighting, coilovers and some camber/caster top plates!!!!

Mmmmmm jealous.

I know of about 3 cupras here in Melbourne would be awesome to get them together!

[Cupra]

you are making me feel guilty now Toni with all this work you are doing to her. Great work keep it up.

I'm so glad she has gone to the right person

Replaced the wishbone bushes tonight. It was something I just had to do after feeling the difference it made to the other car.

Powerflex black series front bush and Audi TT solid rubber rear bush.

The goods
