PD100 would do just fine! They can be remapped to 130bhp with no additional mods!

I'm jealous man!

You transferring the wheels off your silver one onto this? Would look better :lol:

Yep I will be getting them professionally painted (not just my blue bodge job) when I have some money again.

F*cking love the colour though, our drive looks like a Seat dealers as well now. My silver one, mums black facelift, and now this! God knows what the neighbors are thinking.

There are a few little niggles that need sorting out but nothing major then there is no excuses not to get modifying !

Nearly crashed within 5 mins as well, let the engine warm up put my foot down in 2nd jesus its rapid haha

massive high right now!

Bet you've got a grin from ear to ear :D

What are the niggles? Are the rear wishbone bushes okay?

I've got a few Ibiza bits and pieces lying about, if it needs any parts I've got you can just have 'em.

Yep :D picking the brother up from manchester airport tomorrow in it to give him a surprise

As far as I know the petrol cap key hole has cracked, one of the folding seats wont budge but not to sure why and need a new battery for the key. Cam belt was done 2000 miles ago so dont have to worry about that. Ive only given things a quick look over with my non mechanical mind everything else seems ok (will probably get my uncle ((mechanic)) to check it over some time)

Bush wise I think I will get cupra ones fitted anyway, they seem fine but knowing ibizas they will crumble next week. Inside already has the chrome vent and gear surrounds which is one less job to do making a big list in my head already of what i want to do :)

As you say mate, all sounds really minor, nowt to worry about from the sound of it.

I don't believe you're going to Manchester Airport tomorrow, I am too! You're not going to be there at circa 7am, collecting someone off a Continental Airlines flight from New York are you? :lol:

I saw one of these kind of things on 'Wheeler Dealer's' do you think it could be a gear stick lock, so you put it in gear and the rest of the device locks the stick in, meaning can't move the car. Effective but sooo before my time. Just an idea?

Wheeler dealer haha, this seems to fit the bill after looking at pictures on ebay.

I did think at first like Blanco and Alex said it was a phone or sat nav holder type thing. But it is bolted in rock solid and made out of very strong metal. (it goes through the plastic trim next to the gear box and bolted in down there). I will take it off eventually have to see how hard well screwed in it is.

Few more things for me to be getting sorted as well. Fans only working on 3 and 4 (resistor?) and rear washer pipe needs mending, whos doesn't? ;)

Anyway think I will leave this thread here and get a new one started when I start mending and moding things.

Thanks all who have posted. Will miss my first Ibiza! But now I have her big ugly smelly smoking brother!!! :D
