Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Been thinking about the Vrs plan and I don't think now is the right time! 
I am going for a new job soon and if I get it my mileage will be slashed dramatically... allowing more money for mods! 
I even went to see another Vrs today but it wasn't great in lots of ways
Rear bumper was half hanging off and the drivers window did not even close (the bloke said it had just been cleaned and water can play tricks with the electrics!)

sounds like a gem
i think its a wise desicion you have made espically if your changing your job as no one is safe at the mo

My current job is safe but this would be a promotion and working in a different school!
now sign up for the rr day
Which one? My car is standard apart from Green filter and modded airbox, so I would be surprised to see any gains in BHP over standard! Who wants to see a standard FR on the rollers?
the jkm One
Just booked a service there next week! I will have a chat with them about it then.
Thinking about getting them to fit cruise control too, if they can do it!
lazy man's mod hehe
Yes, yes, I know! I do soooo much motorway and dual-carriageway driving it makes sense.
Booked in for a service at JKM on Wednesday! 
The FR will like being pampered as I don't clean it much at the moment!

Got a Whiteline RARB on its way to me next week from another member on here! I was thinking about painting it red to match the strut brace... any thoughts? Will get lots of pictures up when it arrives and I get round to fitting it!

Will get lots of pictures up when it arrives and I get round to fitting it! nice i will be looking to get one soon when i can afford it just splashed out on ss intercooler strut etc but is one of the top mods on the list 
i cant really see much point in painting it tho as its under the car and will only get seen if your working on the car from under it?

Hadn't thought of that

Nice one, Mike. I still aint got round to fitting mine
yet due to there still pack ice in my street. I cant wait to get it on now.I also have a Seat Sport front strut brace coming too
Should make a good difference to the handling between the two of them..

Awesome! I think the RARB will make more of an impact than the front strut brace. I did notice something different when I fitted my strut brace though!

A note about this trumpet, I would defo keep it in place. Generally speaking, having rounded edges on a pipe will greatly increase the amount of flow a pipe can deliver.
But the turbo is sucking air in at a certain rate/pressure, its not being forced in by the "ram"effect! The only thing this trumpet will possible do (the one in the upper part of the airbox) is maintain an even flow of air through the MAF I think... I removed it out of curiosity and I honestly haven't noticed any difference with it in or out (I just haven't put it back in yet 
)
I havent checked my Ibiza, but there should be a grill before the MAF that is there to straighten the air flow. The trumpet makes sure the turbulences created by sharp edges do not hurt the airflow when running big quantities of air.
When I competed in caraudio sound pressure competitions, I made measurements with and without aeroport in a ported box to increase maximum SPL by 2-3dB's when running a round port.
Also speaking with my friend that has build some V8 engines, running similar ports on intakes to carburators resulted in greatly increased airflow.
I wouldnt expect much horsepower differences on Ibiza running with or without it, so youre right that its probably not noticeable.
