drive by wire?????

[gus]

hi guys and gals just wondering if my ibiza is drive by wire or does it have a eletronic throttle control? its a 51 plate.
and does it have a ko3 or ko3s turbo, and im really sorry if it has been covered a million times, its the first time having a turbo car apart from escort rs turbo
also anyone bought any 8k hid/xenons kits and they good, not messed up or anything, and where from and how much???

Sum guys have got 6k hid's, i take it 8k is even brighter!!!!!! But probably very expensive and could be spent a lot better imo but it's your car and everything!!!!

I think 51 plate would be AYP only X and Y plate are AQX IIRC

8k isnt brighter its more purple than white. 6k is the lightest you really want to go, its got a very pleasant blue/purple tinge but also lights the road up (to be honest slightly less than 6k is perfect but its not as pretty!) 8k light may look brighter when staring at it from in front but purple light doesnt travel as far as orange/white light, police might not like them either). As a random aside, this is why street lights are amber, it simply gives better light.
Sooo, as I said 6k is as far as you need to take it.

So is AQX throttle cable?? Is it true that they are better for big power??

Is this turning into a AQX v AYP thread again?

No but last time this wasn't brought up and people were taking the piss!!!!!

 

[blackturbo]

Apparantly u get alittle more power from tuning an AQX over an AYP doubt its anything to write home about tho!

Maybe its just X with a few run ons into Y reg then?

 

[R953 VSE]

mine is an x reg aqx and i don't don't have a throttle cable, i don't think.

 

[Rick-24]

mines an aqx aswell and i have no throttle cable

 

[acidstrato]

as far as i know no ibiza cupra is non dbw no matter what engine code

and tuning one better over the other is bollocks and just things people like to say. the only difference i actually thought existed was no post lambda on the aqx

 

[Rick-24]

thats bollocks... mines got a post lambda sensor

 

[acidstrato]

cant remember who said it but i believed it

in which case....the only reason i can think for the change is introduction of part revisons
