ibiza mk2 cupra - 8v or 16v to choose?

[vngtx]

only the Cupra 2 which didn't come to the UK and a few of the 1.6 Sport did. You sure it was a Ibiza G60 or G40? Only G60 I know of and it isn't in the UK, G40 is local to me but I know he's had a few running problems.

And for the "best colour" which ever colour you like!

im sure it was a g60 2.0 8v they took out of a golf.

A g60 engine is a 1.8 8v
That must have been just a 2.0 8v which was then supercharged
What colour was it by the way?

Only g60 that I know of is Zero in Portugal (IIRC)
Might be others that don't come on forums etc, but I doubt it

Yep Suj is right there.... G60 is a 1.8 8v

well it was an 8v sumthin cos is had the same cam cover as the AGG engines but i think it was that dark purple and was on a vw specialist dealer website.

get a black 16v

more whorage
as it was pretty much standard minus the alloys

If it was the purple one then you way off... that's a 1.8 16v

Yeah he was off a bit, look for a thread on here, it's got a lot wrong, bottom ends messed, the pulleys need to be sorted (as at higher revs it is causing the alternator to overheat, breaking the supercharger pulley) as you need a smaller percentage pulley

If you buy it, you will spend the same amount as a mk3, so save up and just buy one of them!
As insurance will shaft you if you are young mate

just lowered on 20mm springs in that pic mate

And you were saying the Mk3's were too much for you! I rather the Mk3 20vT than the old G60 with it's tired engine now, still won't beat the pound for power that the 20vT has!

Trust me insurance doesn't get any cheaper at 21 I was still paying over £1k from 19-22 with my Ibiza.... NCB is what helps a lot!

i get my 1st year no claims in march, im just puttin the cupra on my insurance for the same price i pay a month for my run around. will by 900 for the cupra in march.

I'm sure the Mk3 20vT is just one insurance group higher than the 16v...... 16v is group 14 and the 20vT is 15.

 

[vngtx]

cheapest mk3 i can find is 2795. cheapest mk2 is 795

 

[vngtx]

found it : 2.0 g60

looks like 1.8???

 

[ibiza_95]

the alloys and front badge suggest thats an 8v and not a 16v
could be wrong though, but id deffinitely check if you went to view it

 

[crezz]

my 16v says group 15...

 

[ibiza_95]

and that G60 says 1.8

 

[vngtx]

and that G60 says 1.8

misleading putting 2.0 in the listing.
