my mk3 ibiza ***new toy has arrived ***

They are a lovely looking bit of kit and look well manufactured. Fitting should be straight forward but in a tricky location.
We will get these on, the bolts on the turbo might be the hardest part so lets start spraying them with lube.

the bolts on the turbo will be your hardest part!

Me being a gumbo is the hardest part LOL! Will get on the wd tonight LOL

NOICE!

You bought the car an Apple!

And why do you sleep with an exhaust in the bed?

Any holes a goal mate

Mmmm exhaust smelling like sloppy seconds

i wouldnt waste 2 fingers on that!!

id waste a fist on it though

well, how she stands now:
before:


after:


also some prep work for tomorrow hopefully:




this is now surplus to requirements:



thanks for looking!

Aww the Bezza looks sad with no front on.

Whats going on tomorow night(Ive probably missed the post) Im not to bad with oily bits/getting my hands dirty and all I cost is a few cups of Strong Tea.

i think it looks like its frowning turn that scowl upside down and all that

hopefully new intercooler mate, with hopefully 90% less problems!!! it wont be done tomorrow though, more of a work in progress this week. and hopefully have it done by the weekend so i can finally, finally enjoy it!!! after that its just the zorst but im not fussed about that,

just want to be able to use the car without worrying about things falling off!

i like strong tea too, my mum basically has warm milk!! yuk!!

its finally here!!!!!



dont worry there wont be a fitting guide guys :S started fitting the new crash bar tonight but it started pouring down so been rained off now

If you leave that silver and it can be seen behind the bumper, thats going to look rather intimidating coming up behind on the motorway!

Stu

itll stay silver, but i have to remove the mesh it wont fit otherwise, its tight anyway, thats why they supply you with a new crash bar!


i cant wait to get it fitted, hoping to do a bit each night

looking smart mate really smart , what u dooing with the old fmic ?

thanks mate, ill hold judgement till its fitted!

getting rid of old one mate! no good to me anymore

ok, your all sick of me going on now but i took em so may as well stick em up













slowly getting there now!

That's a big fuckoff FMIC you got there... Does the car run hotter now or is the rad still getting plenty?

i havent been able to run it yet mate not had time to cut bumper etc, but its a kit thats used a lot on the seat forums with no problems so should be fine

although if there ever was a problem ill be sure to get it dont you worry!

Looks good Si, is it just the two brackets at the top holding it on though?

cheers mate yeah, i think it relies on the ridgid pipework coming out the bottom to support it too. its surprisingly sturdy though.

also the universal one i last had was held by two threaded rods in the top.

That looks sick!!! like a big hungry basking shark!!!!

Expensive??

I'm a n/aspirated man, so excuse the stupidity, but what sort of gains you going to get dude???

hey brindle love that shark comment

depends what you class as expensive

well i already had a fmic, so i cant see it feeling much different, but this replaces some of the original pipework too, one piece which was quite restrictive.

its more for future developments as its got a higher power rating/ better flow rate

Cool! whats this bad boy running then??

currently around the 200 mark, hopefully a bit more with the exhaust when it goes on
