Yeah, it is

Good point, they are much wider than my original reference sport alloys.

nice camera btw - saw it in the reflection of a picture you took...makes you car look really good!

and thanks for the advice guys.

Haha well, it's not mine. I occasionally grab my brother's SLR or get him to help me with a shoot (such as my sig). My camera is my crappy one on my phone, as seen in a couple of pics.

 

[marksy93]

ah right...great pics though

spend your money on improving handling so you spend less time slowing down, I have a 1.7 SDi 60bhp Lupo and it beats anything around corners yet they'll eat me alive on straights!

Most corners I just come off accelerator a few metres first and I can fly round!
Bigger cars have to slow down ^_^

 

[Chris_a_73]

So you're suggesting something such as a Rear Anti Roll bar? I've heard it's a great mod, but only seen on faster models.

what handling mods would work on a 1.2 ibiza

coilovers
bushes upgrade, I can feel the different between sport & fr, FR front end is so nimble! can't imagine what the cupra is like

same as on phase's polo!!

lupo

lupo

Hahaha, sorry mate, corrected it straight after I realised my mistake!!

 

[Chris_a_73]

How much is a bushes upgrade....? I'd consider coilovers, but really can't justify the insurance premium and actual mod price, considering my wage is a mere £270/month.

I think you have to get the wishbones too to make it worth it, don't know on a cost

thanks for editing your post haha !

Rofl! I can imagine. Seems like I'm not the only one

 

[marksy93]

does suspension and bush upgrades help? can you feel the change?

 

[.Phase]

It gives you more confidence in cornering! Makes the front end feel solid and shows no movement in suspension etc.

Will affect comfort

When i put the cupra bushes on my FR it made a massive difference make the front end feel like it gripped alot more and made it much better over bumps! but my bushes were propper nackered!

 

[marksy93]

ah right, are they difficult to fit?? (bushes)

quick update - got my theory test tomorrow!! done a few (hundred) practice tests and have passed 95% of the theory and just got 52 out of 75 on the hazard perception tests
