My 04 1.2SX Ibiza....

[Davecutts]

This is my Seat Ibiza 1.2 2004 SX model,

When i bought it, it had 27k on the clock and now has over 60k. I was getting a bit bored of it when it failed its m.o.t. last weekend.

Since i have been working under the bonnet on it and taking bits out and fixing little parts here and there i have found a new
respect for the car whilst getting it past the mot.

Yesterday she repayed me by giving me the most responsive drive she has ever given me, everytime i put my foot down she picked up straight away, every move of the steering wheel and gear change was like poetry. It was a beautiful drive home from work!

thinking of getting the FR Grills and spraying bump strips. red calipers and drums. then get bodywork touched up and mopped. (dont like ott bodywork - subtle is king)

then working on the engine what would be the best things to start with on a 1.2 engine? not neccesarily to get more bhp just to make the ride sweeter?...

1.2 engine....nothin can be done to it tbh, just keep spark plugs and stuff up to date and oil change, just a regular service basically, maybe think about a panel or cone filter, thats it really

I have a K&N Panel filter in mine and it certainly pulls smoother, I also try and service it about every 6 months, keeps it running fiarly sweet. Click the "fuelly" thing in my signature and you can see the sort of MPG I'm getting with mine.
