Looks good dude! Shame I missed you! :doh:

I went across that way to get out - jumped the queue. ;)

It was a shame as i was gona ask for a quick spin in the hybrid, wet my appetite a tad more ;)

funny that was the same reason i headed that way but i thought id stop for a piccy or two as the que was solid.

Didn't you worry about the splitter?

The sump is lower! :lol:

at that point i had to reverse and choose a different route as i could not drive any further foward as the sump was on the floor to:lol:

Hey Steve nice to meet you and see the car at Edition cheers again for the W8 light (it is fitted but not wired up to the switch yet!)
Just spent AGES looking through this whole thread! You have done similar mods to myself I too ma a bit of a detailing freak spent 2 days cleaning polishing and waxing my car last week lol! You have done mods I want to do so got a few questions!

1. Rear LEDs; I bought these like you well over a year ago to do the same thing but never fitted them as people said error come up on the dash did you have this?

2. Did you or would you recommend any other coilovers than the Weitecs and which Weitecs are tehy you have?

3. What is the ride like is it worse or better? I find my FR very bouncy and horrible standard!

4.You say this maybe temporary coilovers what would you buy are you worried about corrosion like I am or any other reason you say this? (by the way seem you bought it from a lad who lives about 15 mins from me lol!)

5. Any more plans I really like your ideas so far!

it was good to meet up with you to. its a shame you had left before i had chance to have a looky around your car. :(

hopefully ill catch up with you at another show / meet soon :)

As for the questions........

1. Rear LEDs; I bought these like you well over a year ago to do the same thing but never fitted them as people said error come up on the dash did you have this?

A. if you use LED for the stop and tail it sets off the ABS, TCS and EPC lights. you can use LEDs for fog, reverse, no plate no problem.

2. Did you or would you recommend any other coilovers than the Weitecs and which Weitecs are tehy you have?

A. the weitecs i have i would recomened to anyone. they are one of the best budget coilovers i have ever had. my friend had jmaxx i think on his gold and it feel so harsh compared to mine. i have the hicon GT.

3. What is the ride like is it worse or better? I find my FR very bouncy and horrible standard!

A. The ride i find is firm but comfortable. its not bouncy like the standard suspension. they are not much firmer then standard tbh but the ride is so much more controlled.

4.You say this maybe temporary coilovers what would you buy are you worried about corrosion like I am or any other reason you say this? (by the way seem you bought it from a lad who lives about 15 mins from me lol!)

A. they were going to be tempary coilovers as i was looking at KW (the stainless version of mine), but as they ride alot better then i was expecting i will keep these until something happens (iirc mine is the thrid car they have been on and for £50 i was expecting worse) and then ill prob buy either then weitec or the KW.

yep they came from a lad down your way. spent god know how many hours fighting in his garage to get his standard suspension back on, the weitec came off and went on a lot easier then the standard stuff.

5. Any more plans I really like your ideas so far?

A. as for plans im waiting for a small delivery of parts as we speak! :whistle: im hoping they will be here by the weekend.:D, so stay tuned for updates.

My car is a tad dirty atm and needs a good clean, but it will have to wait until next weekend unless all my parts fail to arrive!

Everyone goes on about that shop I can never see anything on their site for the ibiza? I emailed them once trying get bits and the guy ended up ignoring my emails!
Oooh can't wait will await your update then. Gonna order my coilovers next week yay!

they do not list ibiza stuff on there site and the only real way of ordering the brake from them is to phone them as it seems its almost like a side line business to them.
