richierich37 236 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 As I'm building this to keep (lol) next year I fancy going down the turbo route! To do this I was advised to up my braking game so today bought myself some Brembo calipers, 312 discs etc......I'm not sure what I'll need to make them fit as they came off a Seat Cupra R?!?!?! I'll get the fully refurb'd and colour coded to the mulberry paint...........I think! Another day, more parts buying and I thought owning a water pumper would be saving me money more than keeping my old Splittie?!?!? Sent from my iPhone using mind waves!

Lukey. 381 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Dont the Leon Cupras need the wheels they come with to have a high (or low, whichever one means they stick out a lot) offset due to the offest of the brembos? Or does that just apply to the APs on the Ibiza Cupra? Link to post Share on other sites
richierich37 236 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Yup I have been advised I will need to run 20mm hubcentric spacers for my 17's to clear the brembo callipers. I was running 10mm ones on my last car so with 20mm ones will need my arches rolled front and rear to prevent any rubbing. As I'm welding and smoothing my engine bay I can remove the plastic liners allowing me extra clearance to run lower on the coils! If it doesn't work I've just wasted another stack of cash!

richierich37 236 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Went to the trimmers today to pay him for his work, he has agreed to keep the interior until my car is finished then he can have a look at trimming the headliner and pillers in black stuff! Since it's a 5dr family hatchback I'm building I got a new seat for my son made........He is very happy with it! :-)Well that's it for now, no more interior photos until it's going in the car, fingers crossed bodywork stuff will be happening in the next couple of weeks!Sent from my iPhone using mind waves!
