wow some fantastic cars there i always end up at crappy chavvy car shows but them cars are all done really well, lush! Makes me wanna keep goin with mine not that it would ever look that good thou!
Hey people bit of an update put the ibiza into the stealers today(Alexandra parade Glasgow) for the rough idle as the car vibrating pritty bad over last week, yet when the air con is put on it goes away. Showed one of the mechanics in the morning what was wrong in the morning when it went in and he was puzzled but said he would check it out.
Picked the car up later on and was fed complete bull from the service manager about how vw diesel engines are set to just be on idle and no more as to use as little fuel as possible
and apparently the only reason im feeling the vibrations is due to having coilovers fitted.
To my surprise i asked how the hell has the suspension got anything to do with the engine speed and the amount of power drawn from the battery, which he replied "im only telling you what the computer has told the mechanic!"
As if that didnt anoy me enough when I got the car home the passanger seat will no longer fold![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")

Sounds like they've snapped the seat cable.
Lumpy idle is quite common on the dervs (sorry if yours isnt derv)

Hey guys not updated this in ages so thought it was about time.
recent work that ive had done to the ibiza is;
revo stage 1 map,
20mm rear spacers,
de-wipered rear with glass insert and a
smooth tailgate
heres a pic of the tailgate, any comments welcome good or bad.
Next mods are hopefully new alloys, upgraded cluch, miltech system and front mount.

Nice , But i recomend getting your wheels sprayed anthrice insted it will set it of real nice..
Looks nice - can you see any ripples in the filler or is it smooth? That's the only thing that'd put me off is with it being black you'll see if it's not perfect.

! Maybe I should de-
Been thinking of getting dark alloys possibly bbs ck's if christmas doesnt kill me.
Its not been on a rr as yet but it is ment to be near the 180mark, hopefully will be
confirmed soon defo feels alot smoother through the gears.
The boot is smooth no marks at all that would suggest its been worked on. Also I still
have the original tailgate for when i want to sell which is a bonus.
The glass insert i picked up from venom-motorsport looks great dead easy to fit
plus its tinted to match the glass so you cant notice its there duppends on what angle
you look from though.
Thanks for the comments guys will hopefully have better pics up at some point this week.
