Ibiza 130 TDi Sport - 11th August - Splitter + Yellow Film

[dervpower]

Right. So now after thing about it i have started to change some bits on the car.

Bought the car back in April, going from a diesel ford focus estate (which was cool)

I decided i need a car then is good on fuel, fast and cheap to buy. This was the only thing that came close to my specifications.

Only done 74000 but i do about 15000 a year, so soon be adding to that.

I love the power, so much fun, and diesel is defiantly the future.

Anyway some pictures.

After a wash a couple of weeks ago

Needing a clean:

Did come with this though when i bought it:

I then fitted some aero wiper blades. Very nice actually:

Decided i don't like the chrome:

So took it off:

Also decided i don't like the badges:

So only took one off, as i was unsure (now it looks more sleeper styleee)

Standard interior shot, well apart from a dangling dice:

I have rather annoyingly scratched it, caused by my bike falling on car:

unsure of best way to go about sorting this...

Did buy a little aerial, but reception went rubbish so back to standard, have also got some LED side lights, but fitting them was so hard i gave up


Now for future plans:
- Looking at hitting it with the stick, so looking at buying these. They look very good, and a good price, also nice and low. However it is my daily driver, and there is some town driving on commute so unsure on ride quality issues. LINK

- Once lowered thinking of getting some 20mm rear spacers, just to make it look/handle better

- After that, then i think a stage one re-map from P-torque may be in order

- Wheels...well have to wait and see what it looks like

Thats it for now, and tips/advise be great.

Would those springs be ok?

 

[dervpower]

looking at getting those springs ordered now, will they be ok?

 

[BKR]

dont do it they are over priced

you can get the same 1s cheaper here

i run these springs and have for almost a year with no problems

 

[dervpower]

thanks for that! Saved me some money

 

[BKR]

i do my best

 

[dervpower]

Right. Just going to order them when noticed that somebody in your tread said you were brave running 45mm on standard shocks? I do 70 miles a do to work, so would this low be a problem? Thanks

 

[BKR]

its never been for me

and i was doing all twisty a roads on mine mostly

 

[dervpower]

cheers, there cheap, so if they last me i'll be happy. Edit. Just ordered the springs. Should be here on thursday. Off to mates to get them fitted.

 

[kelford1988]

could you let me know how these workout?
I'm in a similiar situation to you I do 120miles a day and my cars standard shocks have been on for 100k miles. So god knows how long they'll last.

Oh and by the way nice car

 

[dervpower]

No worries man, i'll keep you posted with pictures as well.

They should hopefully arrive at work tomorrow. Then just the fact of sitting them, which could easily be another week or so. Basically next time my mate is available to fit them...

 

[dervpower]

Few more pics after a clean today. Did cleand and wax last weekend but it was ditched due to mileage this week.

First of all on wednesday some plonker reversed into my car. Not too much damaged, but just annoying:
Did the following damage:

These also arrived, so need to get my mate to fit them:

Then continued to debadge:

Then added this lol

Apologies for pic quality, all taken on my phone.

going very well mate, suttle touches really add up! i think ive fitted about 12 suspension kits to cars now! 5 of them being mk 4 ibiza's including my own!

let the modding begin

 

[dervpower]

Thanks pal Should finally get the springs on around saturday...

Obviously photos will follow.

 

[kelford1988]

looking good shame about the numpty reversing into you.

 

[dervpower]

Yeh it is. Rather annoying, at least now i have no excuse to not get the few paint chips i have done.

 

[dervpower]

So today was spent lowering her.

Got around to mates, and started what should be around a 2-3 hour job.

following this there was lots of swearing etc... as both front shocks were stuck in their position...

Also found out that we needed a 14mm hex bolt removing thing, so had to go and source one of them...came back £18.90 lighter as well

Anyway, 4:20pm after starting at 10:00am it was done.

Loving the height, still quite a good ride, but then standard was bloody hard. Nice and low though!

The car is dirty, so will be cleaned tomorrow. with better photos from my proper camera added.

 

[philsip]

awesome mate! i decided to craft my own tools for doing the top mount bolt! but yea looks the part

 

[BKR]

looking good dude

need rear spacers now

 

[dervpower]

Cheers guys! Was thinking rear spacers, but i actually quite like it how it is... I'll think about it.

Just plucking the courage up to book it in to P-torque for a map...

Went crazy on the photos this afternoon as well. Gave it a good clean and wax, so now it's looking sweet.

 

[BKR]

looks good mate some quality pics there and the ride height looks loads better
