Title: Dan's N5T LO daily - VR6 Turbo build starting #95
Post by: Dmonday on 13 March 2011, 19:00
Easy guys, after the MK3 estate i pretty much built from the ground up and having no motivation at all to finish off the VR6 conversion she got broke and this is now the new 'sensible' daily :lipsrsealed:

MK3 Ibiza, 77k 1.4MPI :rolleyes:

First things first, off with the 'Chill' stickers and badges. (iPhone photos)

That's exactly what I was angling at  :grin: and def keep them the HCC blue aswell.

Good luck with it by the way dan you've set the standards pretty high for yourself with your previous car, there's a lot of expectation, can you handle the pressure? :laugh:

Nice one mate, must be nice to have a reliable daily.

Good luck with whatever you do to it. Although I think we all know, even if it's wrong, that this will be on the deck.  :grin:

Post by: Dmonday on 14 March 2011, 19:11
Thanks a lot guys :cool: i sold the banded g60's pretty cheap and now he's selling them straight on for a profit? didn't realise that's what the scene was about :rolleyes: but i've definatly got plans :) going on the deck for sure haha, feels good having a fuel light too :D and the heaters heat up fast, so much more comfort but i'm considering putting my mk3 seats in it. Ordered a few little bits as i've just sold the brakes, so by weekend it should be on the deck and look okay for now :) i think i need something polished on this one to go with the paint / colour but i wanna murder it out :evil: blew one of the tyres and a bulbs gone in the first 24 hours of ownership (5am on sunday) but got a new tyre and ordered some philips extreme bulbs, not going down the hid route.

Really looks nice that. surprised on your choice after the wagon but then I guess it makes sense right now... I'm sure you'll get this sorted wherry style like a bellend in no time knowing you.

Just try not to bottom this one out too much.  :lipsrsealed:  :grin:

Thanks dude :) I'm sure i will end up back in a MK3 soon enough :D but this little car is nice just for the comfort and now i don't think i'm shrinking, the underneath of the car is straight and only thing that hangs down is an exhaust bracket, so if it scrapes i'm not too fussed :lipsrsealed: :grin:

Going to try and not break this one though :) every person i've said that i had a new car too the reply was "Don't break this one.."  :rolleyes:

Didn't realise you were selling the banded g60's man. Wouldve been interested but thought you were keepig em.

Gutted on your screen man. When we were down the pub a Ibiza cupra came in same shape as yours. Was a bit low on wide wheels - looked minilite style, don't know what they were. It looked ok, but was sporting stickers claiming to be low and wide when it wasn't really.

Waffling.

Try and find a cupra seat set, they looked naaaaiiice!

Yeah dude, pretty impressed with them look better in person!

Fook me, does it need to go any lower!?

what did you tint with?

Yes! :D the front needs to come down about 1/2" - 3/4" and thanks man ;) i used fly eye tints, it's really easy to play with and can crumple it in a ball and pull it back out and it's fine, no need to use a hair dryer and is mega flexible, it's like loads of small holes so gives the effect that your lights are tinted but doesn't actually change the light output (passes MOT with any colour) a bit different but cool non the less :)

Bloody hell  :shocked: What brand of coils is it on? I'd like a 9n3 after my current daily and that's not nearly low enough  :grin: Some larger wheels would help the look though. Back on topic, the Ibiza looks awesome :afro: Half smoked or all red rears would be sweet.

Raceland specials haha, they are suppose to go lower then most too. I think we're sticking his beetle steelies on for now anyway and then i'm gonna chop a coil or two off his springs :) and yeah i'm considering smoking the rear lights, unsure yet! Just picked up arch roller then realised my tools are at jacks (the polos) house, so will probs pick them up tonight and get them done tomorrow :) had a word with my mate and he's going to do the welding for my notch the weekend coming x

The front has more clearence than on these flicks :) but doesn't scrape on speed bumps other than single ones :D can't  wait to get the front down some more! Once i've paid off my debts (6 weeks) i'm getting some fresh wheels, splits so i can get the perfect stance :evil:

I like originality, hopefully this one will fit into that category. But my bros just lost his job down south so moved home, we might be buying a mk2 as a project, he doesn't know anything about cars but wants to learn so could be sweet, so that might get all my money to be honest.. Think it would be nice to have a fresh seat though, not many tastefully modded ones about!

Got the front down tonight, 20mm on coilovers and murdered the bumpstops. Sitting slightly lower on the front but still not happy :( left driveshaft knocks and rubs with someone else in the car and the steering arm rubs on full lock when moving :D need more lows..

As said the fronts down about 20mm ish but still not low enough! Seems like the steering arms are rubbing (constantly) so going to have to flip the tie rod ends over soon as really, turned out it wasn't the driveshaft so pretty happy about that! Going to try and get it done this week if i can get the parts :)

Thanks dude :) ahh that sucks, guess it will be down to who does the MOT in the end :undecided:

This weeks updates, as above the steering arms are rubbing all the time so i've ordered what i need to flip the track rod ends so they bolt from the bottom instead of the top, also ordered bike carbs :lipsrsealed: got told by my mate who ran his breadvan on carbs that it would be a pain in the arse to do my engine so may be looking at carbing something a little different and whacking that in also i've read that you can run carbs off coilpacks / ecu so not too sure? Chopped the back of my merc hubcaps off to so im rocking them tiewrapped onto my wheels :cool: hub caps on alloys.. now that's cool!

Pics tonight!

If you have the 1.4 16v engine then you might want to look into ITBs rather than bike carbs. Apart from all the Polos that have done it there was a mk2 with a 1.4 16v ITB swap that was pretty mental  :cool: :grin: I don't have any thread about it though, someone just posted some videos in a vwvortex thread  :sad:

Machine polished her today though, i'm not a detailing person but came out okay :)

f**ked work off and took a trip to scrappy and bagged another engine mount.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i122/dannymonday/1-2.jpg)

damage was a sheered bolt, snapped engine mount and a slightly battered gearbox (which is fine)

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i122/dannymonday/2-3.jpg)

manage to struggle and replace it on my todd, ended up using a mk2 golf scissor jack to raise the engine instead of the crane :D

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i122/dannymonday/3-2.jpg)

But all sorted now, looks like one of the CV joints could be leaking though but should get me to work now!

Then the drive shaft went :D i knew it was on its way out after the engine dropped so i was just too lazy to replace it.

Well today was sh!t, went to scrappy in a massive rush as it was shutting and managed to get a drive shaft off in some form of record time only to find out i got the wrong driveshaft when i got home.. unbolted the driveshaft and it's welded its self in, any ideas on getting it out because i've been trying for most of the day, might have to whip engine out this week if i can't get it out..

Took about 5 hours all in all.. after talking to dan ended up taking a hammer and chisel under the car in the most akward position ever, it still has a 2" lip stuck in there that the cv popped off but at least it's one step closer..

Doesn't look like the engine will need swinging out, but definitely building an alternative engine and going to get it all in on a weekend :)

Been a rather unlucky past week for us, Engine fell out, both drive shafts went and my mate wrote his car off, no one was hurt but they are very lucky, one girl didn't have her seat belt on which is pretty f**king stupid.

Chassis bent out about 3" coil over snapped in half, and pretty much everything you see is bent, smashed the bottom end of his engine off and will have to pay for the lamp post he went into, he doesn't think insurance is going to pay out.

I was in the car behind when it went down, not even sure what happened but just glad everyone walked away from it, the car ended up on the other side of a dual carriage way into a lamp post.

Similar thing happened to me when in a mates car when I was 17. Coming onto the m5 from weston super-mare, took the slip road too fast in the wet. Back end slid out, opposite locked it, but it whipped the back round too much, hit the barrier about 2 feet from the end, the buried itself into a ditch the other side. I was stupid enough not to be wearing my seatbelt either and was sat in the back. Lucky I just came away with a black eye and a nose bleed. It really does bring it into perspective when you see how close from the end of the barrier we were and could have been sideways onto 3 lanes with artic trucks barrelling past!  :embarassed: :sick:. Glad everyone is ok though.

What's not to get? Cheap daily run about slammed on it's arse  :grin:

its not cheap because it goes through driveshafts like i go through crisps
its hardly a runaround because it wont be able to go anywhere and is not fit for purpose. infact i doubt its strictly legal (construction and use blah blah blah)
its not 'stanced', its is literally on its arse because theres so much reverse rake, and does not look good. just broken.
its still on standard wheels that make it look even more like the suspensions collapsed. If it had aftermarket wheels of some description with a bit of thought put into ET's, then it may look ok. 
it definitely wont handle that low

in summary, it was a semi nice car thats been ruined.

this is what i do not get.

its not cheap because it goes through driveshafts like i go through crisps

Haha go hate somewhere else, i'm not some pussy that's worried about scraping, if something brakes i'll fix it, simple. No sh!t i have reverse rake.. what 10mm if that? As i stated in earlier posts, i'm flipping the tie rod ends to get the front down more and i need another chassis notch since i've raised the engine.  Driveshafts have cost me £5 - 10.. hardly breaking the bank here, since i've raised the engine i've not snapped one. It's not currently stanced because i'm working on getting my wheels at perfect fitment, two are finished and i'm getting the other two done next weekend, this is while i am paying off my debts from my estate (pretty hard when you're 18 and mummy and daddy doesn't pay for everything..) As for handling low, it's a 1.4 8v, i couldn't get enough speed up for it to handle badly :D read my estate build thread, that went through so many stages and i learnt a lot, won't be to everyones taste and i got soo much hate for building it, but just shows i don't care.

Fair one you might have a nicer car than me, but i'm 18.. this is what i want and i'm getting it how i want it. This is a build thread, i'm open to suggestions and take ideas on board but your input is pointless and quite frankly boring.

Thanks to everyone who comments though, sorry i haven't been keeping up to date. Was working in london this weekend and i have no money :D most of my debts will be paid off next week so we can see bigger / better things to.

Raised engine means less angle and therefore stress on the suffering driveshafts.

i meant the whole concept of this car in general. not the raising of the engine.

I think it's only Dan that does!

:D i've heard that before..

i'm open to suggestions and take ideas on board but your input is pointless and quite frankly boring.

your clearly not open to suggestions though, your just crying because i dont like it.
my suggestion was that it would look better if it wasnt so low. It would also be nicer to drive and wouldnt break so often.

that sir, is a suggestion, a point, an idea, an improvement even.

I also feel that if you find it boring, it could well be that alot of people have said its too low and not fit for purpose maybe? If thats the case then maybe you should take heed.

Just because my opinion differs from your doesnt make it pointless. Opinions are like arseholes my freind, we all have them and are entitled to use them.

You didn't state them as opinions you stated them as facts, "it's this and it's that" not "i think" or some variation.  Yeah i do get it off a lot of people that it's too low, but in MY opinion i think it needs to go lower, you might (along with others) consider it an improvement to raise my car which is fair enough, but what would the fun in that be? I modify my car to be different, but then if i was to raise it to the same height as everyone else and do what everyone else thought i should do, then all the different cars would be the same.

Fair point i can understand where you're both coming from but this is just how i roll, i'll most likely get a 'decent' car with a Chris White approval stamp in a few years but while i'm young and still live with my rents.. why not, could learn from my mistakes or i could have a sweet car at the end of it, who knows eh. But i'm building it so that i can go low without breaking things, raising the engine, chassis notch, tie rod flip etc, eventually re-enforce the bottom of my car / sills.

You've cut notches in the legs that provide crash crumple zones and support the engine in the car.  You've raised the engine out of where it's been designed to fit and deform in a crash, you've flipped the track rod ends so they may be acting outside their design parameters.

Not only are you a bloody danger to yourself, but also to others on the road.  Your suspension will be incapable of sucking up any bumps, to maintain the wheel's contact with the road and thus grip, increasing your stopping distances and (as Chris has mentioned) the car's fitness for purpose.

Frankly I doubt your modifications are insurable, let alone insured.

You strike me as quite possibly one of the stupidest people modifying cars on this forum today.

It's not 'how you roll' it's a danger to the rest of us and I hope it finds you points and fines before too long, as given your age you'll be off the road and uninsurable for some time.  

Even then I suspect you'd probably drive unlicensed and uninsured, because 'that's how you roll'.

'how you roll' is no excuse for the b*stardisation you are committing to this car.

It's a licensed, legislated-for mode of transport, not an iphone cover or some other BS lifestyle enhancing accessory, which is what you're treating it as.

Grow up.  Cars are for adults, skateboards and BMXs are for children like you, who shouldn't be allowed a tonne of metal missile to drive into other road users with no idea of the consequences.

When it was lowered I could have done it a whole lot faster and it would have gripped and it was at the bottom of the threads.

noone said this was about standard vs lowered. Yes, a golf dropped about 30mm or so with flat whisbones probably will corner quicker than one at standard height. a fully dropped one might FEEL like its cornering quicker. but when the standard one let go, it did is progressively right? With a full drop, your roll centres will be all over the shop and when that car does let go, it will do it very sharply and very suddenly.

theres so many variables in your ''test'' that could affect the roundabout speed that its not even worth considering. had diesel been spilt, did you take the exact same line, where your tyres the same, same tyre pressures all round, braking point identical, how did you feather in the throttle, its just NOT a valid comparison in any way shape or form. Please bear in mind your trying to proove this to people who have had many years of track experience or have studied for degrees in motorsport engineering. Quite frankly, to expect people to consider that as a real life example is basically insulting.

was that arrogant, ignorant or insulting? or am i just a 'hater whos gonna hate' because my opinions and views differ from yours? 

I simply don't agree with the whole progressively letting go.

With it up high, my car as a general rule understeers like an absolute b!tch, and when it lets go it just tends to go, quite sharply.

When it's low, there is a private roundabout and some road in Chatham Docklands and I have had my car at various sharp angles and can feel when it's going to let go.

When it's high, although still controllable, it's a suprise when it goes, lowered, you know when its about to.

Maybe it's just because I'm used to it being low but I know I certainly, personally can drive quicker when it's on the floor.

I'm sure if it was somewhere in the middle it would be even better but still.

Leave it at that now guys, yes you will almost definitely have more track experience than us but i'm not building this car for track or handling really :) i know it was brought up but i'm going to lock this thread soon and keep my build thread elsewhere.

Hundreds of people have chassis notches, i'm sure they would fail MOT if they where that unsafe?

Track rod end flips, most corrado owners do this do they not? they are at less of an angle once flipped so would that not mean the geometry would be better than before the flip (once the car is lowered of course)

Raised engine, as above.. i've seen multiple engines pass MOT with raised engines, my engine sits a lot firmer now it's raised and the drive shafts are at less of an angle so for me that's win in both ways.

I'm not arguing, or trying to start an argument.. simply a discussion because this sh!t's boring ha.

Example of "on paper one thing, in theory another".

I'm sure the car is fine. You just adjust your driving style to suit.

Before you start, I can assure you, I raised my car to standard height today. Went round a roundabout and the wheels lost grip under power and the car understeered.

When it was lowered I could have done it a whole lot faster and it would have gripped and it was at the bottom of the threads.

That's real life example for you. Plus the brakes are sharper.

noone said this was about standard vs lowered. Yes, a golf dropped about 30mm or so with flat whisbones probably will corner quicker than one at standard height. a fully dropped one might FEEL like its cornering quicker. but when the standard one let go, it did is progressively right? With a full drop, your roll centres will be all over the shop and when that car does let go, it will do it very sharply and very suddenly.

theres so many variables in your ''test'' that could affect the roundabout speed that its not even worth considering. had diesel been spilt, did you take the exact same line, where your tyres the same, same tyre pressures all round, braking point identical, how did you feather in the throttle, its just NOT a valid comparison in any way shape or form. Please bear in mind your trying to proove this to people who have had many years of track experience or have studied for degrees in motorsport engineering. Quite frankly, to expect people to consider that as a real life example is basically insulting.

It's not like he drive everywhere at a million miles an hour and clips pedestrians on a regular basis. A low car with bits that break sometimes, dare I say that this is one of the least relevent/important things to complain about ever?

Post by: Horney on 10 May 2011, 10:49
To be honest, at least you're doing it properly. Too many people drop their cars on the deck and bang the driveshaft off the chasis leg. With the notch and engine lift things should be less likely to break and you won't be banging your sump on cats eyes or mushing your driveshafts every 5 mins. You should be be able to get the geometeryt in a better state than with a standard slam as well.

As long as the notching and engine lift are done correctly and to a good standard I can't see the harm. Plenty of people modify the turret tops on track cars to add adjustable top mount set ups and give more suspension travel. Wha't the difference?

I think some people are very grumpy this week.

The thing to remember though is that like most people on this forum Dan spends quite a bit of time and money on his car and therefore logic would suggest he is going to take care of it and not drive it round like a tw@t because he doesn't want to damage it. Yes it has eaten driveshafts but he is working on rectifying that. As for the chassis notch, its been cut and welded, yet there are cars out there with rusted sills etc which are more dangerous. DH I think it's about time you go and rant at un-insured drivers, drunk/drugged drivers etc because your 'advice' is just falling on deaf ears here. Like I have said to you before you obviously know your stuff but the way you talk to people makes you come across as some sorta c u n t! :)

Meh. I think some peopl are just over reacting. People have been tubbing arches, body dropping over modded chassis and the such since car modding began. As long as you approach it with the right attitude and get the work carried out to an excellent standard I don't see the issue. I much prefer thigs like this than muppets who cut their standard springs, shove in loads of camber shims and then drive round on bike tyres on over sized rims inflated to a million PSI.

Not sure man :D it just works really well.. that spray on stuff just peels off when your car gets hot and a few lads i know have used copydex and is still holding strong :cool:

Yeah man but it drys pretty quick on the headlining, i did like 30cm's at a time.. just got two mates to hold each corner and i pasted the copydex on and rubbed it down! The pillars are quite awkward from the way they bend but nothing a bit of patience can't solve :)

Finally news of wheels..

Now running camber on the rear wheels, with mole grip pulled arches :D going to sort them out once i get wheels / tyre setup on.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i122/dannymonday/IMG_1775copy.jpg)

Dropped them off a week or two ago, picked the first two up this weekend as i was working in Slough last weekend, they're 14x8 (originally ET50) and i think they're corsa steels this flick is with 35mm spacers on the rear, going to run 20mm up front with 165/50 tyres all round. Need to pick the other two up next weekend and get rear tyres ordered on friday ;)

Fook me, there was sooooo much to read to catch up... To be honest it was getting boring with all the b!tching.

I couldn't give a sh*t how crazy you mod your car as long as you don't drive it like a wayneker which i'm sure this car prevents you from doing regardless of engine size anyway..

What I will say is that I think you're crazy but persistent and for that I take my hat off as personally I couldn't be ars*d with all the hassle.  I have never seen someone go through so much trial and error at 18 for something they really want and if you want it that bad then keep it up and i'm sure you'll get there in the end.  I just hope that this doesn't end up dead like the wagon as I was really gutted that the project ended on a bad note.

PS... Purple wheels.

Haha thanks Shaun, i'm planning on keeping this no matter what (to a degree) if engine goes, something bigger & better will go in :) haha trail and error is an understatement :D but it's running okay now, no more drive shafts and brakes are all working again and at this height it's perfect! Same on the wagon man :( worst decision ever but had to be done, i'm still on the edge with my job at the moment, but most of my debts are paid off, so if i get laid off i won't be in as much trouble :) (still looking at another wagon..)

Yeah man that sounds like the place :) good road for a blast, shame my car's running like a pile of crap :( won't go above 90mph (on private land of course..) thinking about whipping the engine out this weekend and giving it a nice clean, it looks like a sand pit since the visit to dolby, dragging half the road up with me.. :undecided:

Went into the back of my mates MK6 today :( both our faults really, he has a couple of little chips and a 1/2" gash out of his plate recess (lucky my car was low otherwise it would of been boot lid) and my grills are snapped, bumper snapped, light bent inward and the bonnet is bent, just before DC too which sucks, don't think i will have it sorted for then :undecided: but ah well sh!t happens.

He was quite a nice guy to be honest, i bumped the curb at mcdonalds and the tiewraps holding my license plate popped off. He just had a go at me for not over taking him, wheels protruding the arch and my sidewalls been worn away, then left me with a £30 fine :rolleyes:

Hmm, if it's legal I would have been miffed still because they might keep tapping you up for £30 every time they see you now....  Unless you wanted them to leave quickly before they spotted something else!  :grin:

Haha, I thought this was your daily to save funds?  :undecided:

Haha am only joking thou! Sounds like a good idea! And doubt its being done, I'm looking at a mk1 with a 1.8 16v kr with zx9r carbs fitted and it sounds awesome! And apparently goes very well! But bit out my price range, in fact most things are, even henshaws mini skips at 49quid are too expensive, lol

Just wonder what sort of mpg they do thou ..

Fixed wheel bearing & hub lastweek, now running on all 4 cylinders.. just need a new TB and need to invest in a welder to do my exhaust.

Not low, not clean.. but it's kinda working..

One arch semi-bodged until we chop them out;

Could you get smaller hubcaps and cable tie them to the face of the steel? Inside the dish I mean. Two piece splits innit?  :grin:

Bora 16 hubcaps seem to be the hardest things in the world to find. A mate ran them on his 2 over a set of turbines and lost 1. Couldn't find another for sh1t!

We had some polo 13" caps but would be hard to cable tie them in with the steels been banded :(

Yeh that car's siccck, the MX5 has had the rear bumper chopped out and had the plate put in to keep the car to the road (instead of a big ass spoiler) :D i don't have a clue if i'm honest!

Tbf, it's a 1.6 mx5, the last thing it needs is rear downforce.

I think it looks cool though.

They're my perfect wheel for a luxurious German car, but for a utilitarian, ratty JDM drifter I think they're too expensive... When the wheels look like they cost more than the car, something's wrong.

Then again, they look sweet on Mk3s which seem to be worth about £30 at the moment.

winnies mx5 is a beast, sounds metal, stripped out, caged and turbo charged. the wheels did cost him a fair wack but like dan said its in for a full paint at p b customs soon. he's actually basing the paint colour around the wheels coz he likes them that much.

the rear diffuser is from a lotus i think?

it will look awesome when painted! its also his dailly  :cool:

....

oh and sorry to hear about the job dan. hope you move onto summat you enjoy a bit more!

It was doing about 15-20mpg when the cat was knackered, blowing like hell at the manifold (im guessing the lamba sensor got the wrong reading) but now it does a lot more and just generally runs a lot better... got some Moon discs today too from a  friend :D had them lined up but he dropped them off tonight

Well i had Mike drop by yesterday to sort out my rear arches, got to say he did an amazing job and considering he has never done something like this before i think they look sick.

Probably not to every ones taste but it's a lot different to the standard gash Ibiza arches and if you saw mine from the mole grips they look a million times better :D

It's really hard to get a picture of them, need to see it in person really.

Just means i now need to go a lot lower on the front :D picked up some mini g60 steels the other day, going to get them banded to 14x9 and 14x10 :)

Oh and as some of you may know about my dickhead neighbour... i had another confrontation with him yesterday and he has really lost the plot :rolleyes: left all his doors open at 11pm after the argument and started banging, so i had to pop round to a few other neighbours houses just to basicly get backup that it isn't me in case they complain and try set us up, then he started again at 1am when i was out... he also told me to "go back to jail where i came from and get back on the weed" :D and when my dad came out (who has been living here for 22 years) he asked who my dad was because he has never "clapped eyes on him"  :huh:

This was all after i packed up and finished for 9pm and was stood outside talking to a a couple of people...

Bottomed out in front of the 5-0 and he noticed my rear strut wasn't secure so got VOSA down, they issued the PG9 and allowed me to drive home. Really nice guys and can't complain at all, just doing their job and did it well i thought. Think this is the only time i've had a good word to say about them :D

You too man :) haha i wish it wasn't in such a state yesterday still :( but as said before, it's getting there :D

Planning on getting everything sorted before i get it back on the road so should hopefully look in a bit less of a state next time we meet ;)

Thanks man, my friend David took them :) he has mad skills, shame the car's in a right mess :D

Yeah man, all the 'scene' business too... my cars have always been low, i've never driven a car without it being on its arse for more than a week. There's not a massive 'scene' in hull at all and most of my cars have never seen a forum apart from 1 or 2 flicks, if they don't like my project and have nothing constructive to say they can go lick someone else's arse.

"This still mings like a 50 year old fat sl@g in fishnets." - Got to be my favourite comment so far from DH though ;)

But i've got my new steels banded to 14x9 and 14x10, engine & subframe might be getting whipped out this weekend to tidy it up a little.

Well not really an update but having no car really sucks so just murdered out the new headlights which i've been meaning to do, MOT is 2 weeks today so should be all legit again.. hopefully. Also picking wheels up this week.

Going to work in some piece of sh!t call centre for a few weeks until i find a proper job :( going to be soul destroying, but i need money especially with the plans i have for under the bonnet ;)

Just need valves, also waiting on front tyres from demon tweeks.

Well rear tyres are still leaking, sort of... after ramming loads of gasket sealent in the bead (looks horrible) and some tyre weld, one's holding the others just gone flat after a few hours.

Also still no MOT :( he wouldn't do it because of de-cat.

But put i wanted to test fit and take it for a drive ;)

Tyre, bead's f*cked haha. Bought them off some lad on facebook because they where 'taking up space' he sold them on cheap so i snapped the opportunity as i was looking for that size tyre! Then turned up and the beads where ripped to shreds, worth a try attempting to fix them because toyo's being massive gays!

Haha well everyone who hasn't driven my car on here said it handled like crap :D but it handles tons better than it did on the other steels and i'm used to harsh ride quality so i don't really notice :D it had about 8 degrees of camber before, but this time round there's about 5 degrees, may lose a bit of that too :) just need to paint the wheels so they look a bit prettier ;)

I sent you a text the other day, i guess your number changed?

It said: "Oh Danny, you came and you touched me inappropriately, then i sent you away, oh Danny" Don't ask me why i sent that, i was bored..  :grin:

Haha i aim to please ;) and :D nah man, i dipped my iPhone 4 in some girls drink at edition and started drinking out of it (don't ask why.. i don't know myself) so now i'm waiting on insurance to send me a new one :D will reply when i have it <3

Oh and an update, the plates went on today :)

another update, i got my ribs inked and was the worst 2 hours of my life, only another 3 to go! :(
 

Cor, imagine waht that'll look like when you're old and wrinkly.   :grin:

Hahah i don't think i'm going to make it to that stage to be honest :D

Haha, they have been okay with them so far :D

I hate replacing drive shafts, but one hasn't gone in about 3 months? Ish.. not sure :D but it's just the angle of the drive shafts, raised engine has made it better but i'm not too fussed to be honest, hopefully this engine won't be staying in for much longer :evil:

Definitely.

We've seen 20VT conversions now.

Besides, not a lot of Ibizas running a VR.

Not the same side dude, past 2 have been passenger though, it's at a weird angle.

Thinking about a VR, but i'm running it way too low for it :( was thinking 1.8T because i can pick a donor car up dirt cheap, but i was also considering G40, ideally was looking for something N/A :)

Was thinking earlier how cool a 20V NA conversion would be.

Especially if you cammed it.

Not if you're someone who likes to be different.

I see 20v on ITBs or similar.  :cool:

Also, ITB or bike carb setup could mean a lot less fuss with ECU's and suchlike.

Have you decided on a colour for the respray yet?

Haha yeah man, would make sense but i don't really have any spare cash and as you say i haven't found a colour i want to go yet :D but once it's all up and running, won't be hard to just whip the engine out and give it a paint :)

Colour - Luminous Pink.

Do it, let the haters hate!  :cool:

I'm not happy you've ripped it out so soon though. Means we have to wait well over a week before we can see the engine going in!  :evil:

Ah that's alright then. When mine started looking ugly (no bonnet, wings, lights, suspension etc),  the only person I had to hide it from was the missus.

Is it mapped? Do you know what boost it is hitting? Could be a number of things, a boost leak is highly likely, what d/v does it have?

Mine isn't boosting as it should be, only hitting a peak of 11psi, fitted Forge 007p, replaced the MAF, new N75 Valve - all of which have been tested and are working fine. There are no boost leaks so it's looking like the actuator needs upgrading :wink:

Think wastegate is stuck, not boosting what so ever :( turbo is only a few months old too, going to take another sicky and start ripping it apart tomorrow :) haha.

Nah man was over £900 :D fixed it now though, the thing (not sure name) that opens the wastegate was seized from it being stood for 3 months, soaked it in WD and give it a few tug's and all is cool :) bay is a horrible mess, when engine is out i can sort it all out though!

Bonnet's bent in half and f**ked screen, there's loads of little things wrong with it (wasn't hitting boost to begin with) but rather whip the engine out anyway as there was soo much wiring and stuff i wanted to get rid of anyway, like the challenge :D

Think i'm going to have to get some form of skid plate made up :D don't fancy killing another engine!

Looking for a bit more power too, apparently the car had been through hell with a previous owner (parts rammed with filler) so just going to replace a lot of parts :)

so a fair bit of time was put into the donna at some point in its life, good stuff

Yeah man my friend owned the car previously, did a lot to make up for previous owners abuse but the wiring and other little bits are an absolute mess :(

Nice work on the engine, looks smart like that. I think I'll be respraying my engine parts again soon, was going matt black with the theme of things, but we'll see!

Thanks bro :) nah no rush at all to be honest, just getting bored so makes me get me on with it :D

As I've raised the engine I've had to raise the bonnet to go with it as it was so close, was a right pain fitting it on my own lining up the engine spacers and such got massive blisters on my hands :(

Same man, but the other bumper is f*cked :D will need chopping up to fit the intercooler behind, the sump is sat well above the subframe now i've raised it so i may consider rocking non-cupra bumper. Will need to use the rear for the exhaust cut-out, looks strange otherwise.

But thanks man :)

Thanks dude :) haha not much at all got a list below ;)

Right almost there, things to do;

Drill hole in bulk head for hydraulic clutch.
Drive shafts.
Brakes.
Dash & interior.
Re-locate boost pipes (hang too low currently)
Re-paint car.

Think that's about it! Also i think i'm being thick here but the main pipe from the coolant reservoir doesn't seem to go anywhere :unsure: every thing else seems to be connected fine apart from that (can see it in the flick below next to PAS reservoir) any one help on that?

Haha i dreaded reading your comment when the email popped up :D Not as bad as i thought though! :)

Surely it's more acceptable then before? I mean it even has practical wheels & tyres, just needs a practical height (and paint) and could be a decent enough car :lipsrsealed: oh and don't worry i'm sorting them dreadful rear arches!

Gah, i've decided to keep this car a little longer.. more dickheadness to come :lol:

Any way, as i was going to sell the car i gave it a fresh lick of paint (all one colour now :lol:) and put all the headlining / interior back in so it actually looks like a car again! But now as i'm keeping it, this is when things get silly ;)

Yes mate, I bought my VR in pieces and I mean it was stripped down to each part and the amount of bolts and bits I wanna replace is what's putting me off! I can't afford to do it atm, wanna sort the car out first. Although I'm looking at my HX40 turbo sat on shelf right now :D If I had space to have the VR here......

New piston rings, bearings, arp rod bolts, arp head and main studs, head spacing etc, etc.. been reading up quite a lot on it and that's what most big power VR's are running over in the US, so 400 wheel shouldn't be too much of a problem, thinking of aiming more for 500 with an AWD setup (B5 A4) :D

they couldn't even get it off, so used the leg off my engine crane as a breaker bar and that managed to crack it..

Nice, its just like pushing a baby in a pram, dub stylee :D

Good to see progress and sounds like a good setup. Engines are supposed to be pretty strong on standard internals and ARP rod bolts, so you'll be sweet with the head bolts and main studs too. I was going to aim for 350-400 with just the ARP rod bolts and dropped compression down to 9:1. Read up people running on complete standard internals, standard compression with a reliable 300+bhp (low boost).

Haha proper ghetto :D got a few looks..

Yeah man there's a company in the US that's running 700bhp on just what i've listed above, arp head, mains and rod bolts / studs with a head spacer, so i think 4-500 would be a nice sensible aim :) it's a long term project and would be a shame to just stick it in something FWD so going to be a pricey one ;) need to get my self a job sorted ideally!

Haha, i don't need a car at the moment and when i do i can just use my dads car.. so a long term project is perfect for me :) can't really get bored because it won't be finished for a while and going to be insane when it's done ;)

Going to get the block dipped, skimmed and honed (depending on what they say about the lips on the cylinders obv) next week hopefully, then start getting stuff ordered.

Didnt realise you had got so far with this.
I have a few questions as were doing similar things.

1)How thee cocking hell did you hold the crankshaft while trying to get the pulley bolt off?Ive had an inch drive windy gun on it and no joy!
2)Can you have a word with your scottish mate and get me a price for doing my head please.(i will strip it but want it porting polishing and new valve guides putting in)
3)Who is Joerg as i require a full pulley set like your cs pulley.
4)Are you getting your engine dipped locally?Nearest i can find is bloody Northampton!


I will be watching this.Look forward to seeing you at the pod  :evil:

Hahah, need to pull your finger out ;)

1) The crank shaft bolt is a pain in the arse, windy gun didn't have any effect! I put a 1/2" socket extention in the top, just dropped in place and that held it (can get a picture if you want) then got a big ass breaker bar and that cracked it off straight away ;)

2) He prefers to speak to people personally but his name's Dan, nice guy and this is his number - 07772 498471 :)

3) He's just my friend who has collected a few parts when he went over to the US, can get them off US ebay ;)

4) I'm getting it skimmed, re-honed and 'bathed' as they call it at Alex Carrs Engineering, about 5 - 10 mins from me, i still need to take it in to get a quote- http://www.alexcarr.co.uk

infact cockit im off in the garage to strip mine now  :grin:

Hahaha, get it done! :D I'm bored now waiting for some one to give me and my block a lift to alex carrs :sad:

There the ones!Nice one mate,bloody good price too!

Well you inspired me so ive just been and stripped the block bare including the crank  :smug: although i now need a waterpump....but i was going to buy one of them anyway ha ha.
Just been decoking the forged pistons and speccing up the rings.Hopefully be able to get them from Mahle but i will wait till the bore is done incase i need oversize pistons.

Thanks for the number i will be in touch with him once i get the head off the other engine so i can see which is best.

What pistons and rods are you going for?

No worries bud :) and haha the water pump on mine was nackerd too, worth replacing anyway.. look rats :D

Just using the stock pistons and rods (depending on weather i need to go for over sized pistons) i don't see point in going for forged ones unless i'm going over 700 WHP.. the spec of the 700WHP VRT in the US;

Thats an impressive but simple spec sheet.
Bet its noisy as f00k with a dog box in it ha ha

Luckily the oversize forged pistons and rods came in mine and are in perfect condition.
Any ideas on your snail of choice yet?
If you dont get your engine down to mateys before the next Rollin Crew meet let me know and i will set off early and take it through with you. :smiley:

Haha thought you meant post them down together :D but yeah that's cool man, they shut at 5pm week days so just let me know :) might do them a little cheaper if we take both in?

Sweet man :) what sort of power you thinking?

I was thinking it might be cheaper taking 2 in but im not sure i will get 2 blocks in her mk4 without her going tits ha ha But she doesnt need to know ;)

Im only going for 350-400bhp as anything else is a bit hard to keep on the road even with a peloquin in.Then im sticking a wet direct port of nitrous in as i still have some gear left over from my 300zx drag car and i reckon it will be cool for sh!ts and giggles.
Just means i will need a standalone ecu so i can have 2 maps installed.

Just looking for a box so i can start stripping it and rebuilding it with better components and a decent diff.

Got loooads of parts i still need though ha ha Not even sure if i can keep my subframe yet.
