lol Hello Oggs!

[Mike_Ibizacupra]

Here are some new pics taken this weekend after a good clean!

Gotta get her ready for next weekend!!











LOVE THIS SHOT





Must say only downside to having 350bhp is that when you spend all that time cleaning her and you go for a summertime blast....you get back and there are fresh bugs on the front bumper, bonnet, wing, windscreen!! Doh!!

Cheers for looking

Comments welcome....

Thanks Mate,

I wish it was my house, if I could afford a house like that I wouldn't have an Ibiza Cupra, no matter how many horse power it has!

Its a local industrial estate but its been built to look like a housing estate, with HUGE houses lol

Great for pics I must admit

Cheers!

Yeah arms do have to take a bit of a beating when planting ones foot! Tyres aren't bad, just control control the right foot if they start to spin... saying that, I love a bit of wheel spin when you change from 1st-2nd and from 2nd-3rd lol

Dyno run in 5th produced 330bhp...(4th they couldn't get power down)

Since then I've changed Induction to a direct cold air feed one, and uprated the spring in the DV. Using a friends laptop and software, we measured 4th gear, and using the MAF value and the calculation MAF x 1.331 and it gives 347bhp.

Won't know for definate till next rollers session....

Car has had the Jabba IHI conversion.
