Seat Ibiza (6L): Air suspension and more.....SPLITTING/FOR SALE

[Tom.]

Looks good mate, but as you have stated in your post it doesnt quite sit low enough. Have you removed the adjusters from the rears?

Should drop it a bit more if you have not.

Once the stance is sorted it will look fantastic.

Cheers man. Adjusters are still in place and I've been tempted to pull them out but it will only give me about an extra half inch drop which still isnt enough. So I might keep them on for now and save up for a set of coilovers that can go lower. And the AP's can help me out on the financial side.

2006 Black Ibiza. Updated 13/09/2009

It's been a while since I updated this thread so here it goes.

Wheels have been done to death, but hell they look good on the ibiza.

So as she stands, modifications are as follows:

Engine
- 1.4 16 valve[85ps]
- Custom exhaust system from the Catalytic converter
- Polished manifold cover (DIY job)
- Audi R8 oil cap
- K&N pannel filter

Chassis
- AP coilovers
- Audit TT wheels 7.5x17 wrapped in Hankook 195/40/17 tyres
- 40mm spacers on the rear axle

Styling
- Debadged front grill with surround sprayed black
- Debadged rear
- Honda S2000 aerial
- Rear diffuser from 1.4 TDi
- Oval tailpipe
- Rear wiper removed
- Pressed plates (Road legal)
- Audi valve caps
- Removed mudflaps

Interior
- MTX sub and amp

Over the winter months, the wheels will be removed and polished and the interior will be under some serious attention with the current audio install being stripped and rebuit to a higher standard with a few extra bits on the side

Cheers man. Side strips are untouched. On the 'to do' list but not fussed about it at the moment!

Just purchased an Audi R8 oil cap, K&N pannel filter (probably won't make a difference) and a polishing kit from e-gay!

Much obliged. Bought a DSLR but I have no idea how to use it.

 

[momiwi]

What kind of camera is it? Canon, Nikon or Sony?
I do photos with NIKON D40X. I am very happy with it.

It is a very big difference in image quality betwin compact camera and DSLR.

Yeh the image quality is amazing in a DLSR compared to a compact camera even in auto mode.

Managed to get my hands on the Nikon D60 which I've read is more or less the same as the D40X. Just finding if difficult when setting the exposure, aperture etc!

Practice makes perfect. Good luck !

Everythings better in two's ha.

A lot of people say when you run stretched tyres you get reduced handling but honestly, I find the handling to be fine with no wobbling or juddering. It's also managed to free up a little more space allowing me to go lower which is always a bonus.

The TT comps have now been sold to make room for a new set of wheels which should be here prior to the new year.

The interior is also underway with the rear seats currently in the trimmer. Will post pictures of the interior once complete.

Cheers man. The 17" wheels were just too big so had to sell them realy.

Purchased them off ebay a few months back, can't quite remember the amount I'm afraid. If you are looking for a set, theres quite a few for sale on w.h.e.e.l-w.h.o.r.e.s.com (take away the full stops) or have a browse on ebay. They're Audi TT Competition wheels.

Thanks mate, just had a look on there. Not got an Ibiza yet, but i'm already torn between Cupra 17's or the TT comps!
