Gooner_Mike's Ibiza FR 20vt

[Gooner_Mike]

Not a bad car for still being at school mate.

I'm a teacher pal!

So these really are easy to fit then and look to do the business, all for £150 or so is it?

The ARB is great and well worth it. (Only had it fitted for a few hours but you can really notice the difference!) I was a bit skeptical at first as the Mk4 Ibiza rear is a beam setup anyway, but it seems to do the trick. Loads of people swear by them and now I know why!

What setting did you go for, Mike?

Medium for now, just while I get used to it! My neighbour said I should go straight to the stiffest...

 

[Breezapom]

sounds good mike it seems people swear by them its just the price for a little bit of metal that puts me off

No hint to whats up next then - we talking turbo or styling?

The only trouble with modding a car is... the list never stops getting longer! A few plans but mainly styling.

Yea, it's really annoying - if this forum didn't exist we would be loaded.

although each mod makes you love your car a little more...wait, is that weird?

I got mine off a member on here who was putting his car back to standard before getting a new car. Try putting a thread in the WANTED section on here... thats how I got mine!

Did you see that Louis Theroux programme about the bloke that LOVED his car (he even :w4nk: over it!) It was a pink Beetle. He even had with other cars in car parks. They caight him tossing off over their film crew truck!

Thing is, none of the mods I have done have been expensive. Just adds up though...

I never want to write them all down and total the price, think i would be shocked if you added up the mods you have done to your car(s)

I did'nt think I had spent that much until I added everything up £2.2k+ in about 16 months...

That's only £140 a month. I spend that easily a month on petrol!

Should have brought a diesel

£140 a month on petrol

I only live 7 mile from work but still spent £40-45 a week.

Should have brought a diesel

I know, but I have been doing the journey to work for 3 years now, so it doesn't really bother me anymore. One day I might get a diesel. I did have a go in a Fabia VRS last month!

I have applied for a job that is 2 miles from home.. that will make a massive difference if I get it!

My journey is a cruise up the A3 and back. No need to boot it everyday... just at weekends.

 

[Breezapom]

did you have any luck with the cruise control fitting?
