LF: Ibiza MK3 Cupra R

[fatreg]

Hello,

Am very new round these parts but some of you may or may not know me from elsewhere under the same username,

anyway, In short, I'm after an Ibiza Cupra R MK3..

as per: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1389342.htm only issue with that one is, he doesn't seem to reply to email, phone calls or SMS.....

So.. does anyone where else I might find me a Cupra R? I fully understand there were only 200 in the first place, but I want one!

Cheers

EDIT: Found one, cheers

I've found one now.

Sorry should have updated this..

[boobles]

Nice one.
I actually fancy one myself. Got any pics?

[fatreg]

Will have soon, not picked it up yet, i'm in Poole and the car is up north somewhere...

[boobles]

Enjoy mate, they are very rare.

[fatreg]

I'll try my damnedest, it's going to be a bit of a change from my Corsa D....

[JB!]

there are 75 "R"'s in the country and under 500 Cupra's

if/when you get one, invest in some 20mm rear hubcentric spacers and some decent suspension!

a remap, filter and FMIC are all preferable too.

[fatreg]

Is that 75 remaining R's? as I was lead to believe 200 were made available to the UK...?

as for the mods, I'm entirely sure I'm going to do anything with it, it is totally pristine, I might whack a K04 turbo on though...

200 were made.

only 75 imported in RHD.

K04's are a waste of time, you might as well go for a garett/IHI/K03 Hybrid after you have messed about with manifolds and the like.

pics/link?

[fatreg]

Ah ok, you learn something everyday.. although Wiki says 1000 were made!?

as for pics, I will crack on with some later today

The car is a big enough jump from my ol' Corsa D for the time being, I'll wait until I get bored before I start fettling...

read the 75 thing on SCN, more likely to belevie that then wikipedia, lots have been crashed too, i wouldnt be suprised if only 50-60 UKDM remain on the roads.

might be 1000 combined cupra's and R's as both are fairly rare (however i know of 5 Cupra's in MK)

[fatreg]

TBH, I don't really mind, I've seen a few MK3 Cupra's in Poole, but have never seen any R's, the chaps at the local VAG group also don't know of any locally... so it's all groovy

I just bought myself a Leon Cupra. Cracking cars, love them.

best looking 20VT powered car IMHO.

Nice cars. Thought heavily about one, a friend had a very nice example for a while. Ended up with an S3 though which is clearly the best looking 20vt powered motor...lol

Welcome to the Cupra club!

What power do those put out?

I got offered one a few years back as a swap for my 206 HDI that i had back then but due to commuting and economy - had to stay with the sooty diesel.

[boobles]

the Ibiza cupra has 150bhp turbo but the R has 180bhp.
