ive payed for all the intercooler piping just waiting for arrival ;) also forge map sensor pipe is on the way and my custom bits to make a new boost pipe for rear of engine is on route aswell!

engine torque damper (to illiminate futher turbo gaskets going is also in the pipeline having to make custom brakets from the strut brace and engine mount for that! will look GREAT when on tho!

modifyed the front pannel to gulp more air in! by cutting all the other restrictive flaps and grooves! as you know the wheels are being picked now still making final decisions!

Top work mate :clap:

When I got mine I said to myself that I'd leave it standard but cant help doing things to it all the time. Before I know it I'll be going for your sort of power. Every time I see your car I just want to go and max out the credit cards. Damn you ;)

power plans at the moment are to get the 350 i have running reliably with engine torque damper and then if funds allow i will get internals done and push for 400 area just tidying up the conversion i currently have with the intercooler hoses and custom boost pipe im making, imagine i can hit 400 on the turbo i have, by just uping the boost and of course intals and bored out to 1.9

Well played mate! 400bhp Ibiza would be truly awesome, may even stand more of a chance with a Typhoon in a Top Gear shoot out than that dog slow Veyron! Super car slaying Seats are the future

That bumper grille mod looks familiar! Looks a lot better with the honey combs cut out doesn't it :)

yer took me litrally 10mins tho took you hours of agonising drilling and filing! i just belt sanded the back bit off :) ;)

replicas are bad new laccur peel and no near as good as the real thing if you cant afford the propper stuff dont get it :D

SO glad you're keeping this beast! The Golf was a great project car but the Ibiza is just an all round beast. :D

You have some nice mods lined up mate. Why did you get new headlights? The old ones steaming up?

I'd like a SEAT sport intercooler for mine. At least then it'd clear the fog light. :doh:

Looking really good though Rash. Keep us updated. :D
