[yayseat]

ive just got a Seat Ibiza sport 1.6 navy blue 5 door it's already got a nice cd player and speakers but anyone have any ideas what i can do to it which wont cost more than say £150?

edit: ok this is my car =]

Look in the for sale section and see what second hand bits you can pick up. Theres some bargains to be had, suspension kit would be the best one.......cheaper if you can fit it yourself too.

£5 says you can't find any ibiza on any rim that will out corner a Formula Ford that runs 13" rims

the diffrence with an f1 is the low centre of gravity the slick tyres and the massive downforce generated by the spoiler to keep it pinned oh did i mention the width of the tyres aswell

and what size rims you got again

ive cleaned it up a bit now but i took these when i got it about 2 months ago

What difference does the wheel diameter have on lateral forces?

bigger wheels wider tyres you dont see many sports cars with little small rims, track cars such as formula ford maybe, but most small rims have very skinny tyres

not actually true j.cavo!

if you have a 1.4 and stupidly wide tyres, it'll be detrimental to performance (due to, too much friction to overcome, causing more lag)

and F1 cars have smaller wheels as they lack torque (as they are so light) so smaller wheels = more torque, bigger tyres = better top speed

 

[sl1m1thy]

blah blah blah all that matters is that tiny wheels with stretched rubber look best

no ones put 18's on a mk2 yet have they? (well i heard they look stupid anyway)
i think 16's look fine IMO!

im not saying put 18"s on it but deffo 15 16 and maybe 17 better than those pepper pot wheels you see on most cars

i never said you said "put 18's on" did i? i asked a question to everyone, as a while back there was a thread, and someone said no ones put 18's on yet, so wondered if anyone has?


i think 15's look good (but you do have to drop your car) as it looks tractor like, i love ronal turbo's, one day i might get some...(well say that about alot of things haha)

but i also like my 16" multispoke ronals (normal 16v wheels)
