My Ibiza FR 1.4 TSI

[CraigFrTsi]

Not to sure myself but if you try unit 26 in Bicester the postcode is ox26 4ul, they are a franchised dealer for a make of exhausts called longlife and I heard some pretty good things about them and they do custom exhausts bit like powerflow.

ok thanks will have a look

I think supersprint do an exhaust for the FR. milltek only do them for the cupra and boc so i bought the polo GTI one and i went to my local exhaust place called exhaust uk and they made the custom bit up for it to fit.
The polo exhaust tips are too far to the left and for it to fit on the FR they needed to come to the right abit to fit inline with the rear diffuser on the FR.
Also theres a milltek for the audi A1 which might be a better fit i dont know but the A1 and the GTI have the same chassis just different body work.
For fitting and the costom bit making up and fitted cost about £130

nice fr! thinking about getting one of these in replace of my 56 plate 1.4 sport , is it proper fast, 130 no problem? and what about mpg if youre sitting 60/70 how many miles would you get out a tank?

 

[CraigFrTsi]

My standard FR most I've had is around 120 on private land(exRAF) as for mpg I'm avg. around 30-40 but its the initial acceleration that hits you first because of the smooth dsg gearbox

 

[lukej18]

Ah right sure it would go faster than that top speed meant to be 132 not that you need to go that fast haha, roughly how much miles do you get out a tank?

 

[CraigFrTsi]

I'm roughly getting about 270-320, but increases to over 350 IF I drive carefully

 

[lukej18]

not so bad then! well my 1.4 sport which only has 85bhp is the same price to fill up and I only get 350 miles out a tank so be good to get the fr which actually moves when you want it to and is economical when you want it to be! just have to wait and save up some cash now :/ !

Hi mate, just wondering does the stubby aerial affect the radio reception at all or works as normal?

 

[CraigFrTsi]

The one I have does as its just a cheap replacement from halfrauds but others with the stubbies from the like of Citroen, Peugeot and Honda should work just as normal, with mine its more for the looks as I never use the radio

 

[negy]

the stubbie aerial works sound no loss of signal or quality. i changed it because i didnt like the original.

 

[TopManTaz]

cheers for that, just a quick question how do you add the link to your RR under the comments you make?

 

[nightflight]

Go to the "User CP" (control panel) and then look for the "signature" option on the left hand side.

Use BBCode as follows...
[ url = linktoyourRRthread ] title of your RR Thread [ / url ]
Minus the spaces (you can have spaces in your RR thread title though)

where did you get the smoked indicator surrounds? Thanks

 

[negy]

Off eBay. If you type 'side indicator seat' you'll see loads

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160987219523. Am sure these are the ones I got

 

[LewMcC]

thats great thanks, they hard to install

 

[negy]

Nope just use a very thin flat screw driver n just prize them out if u want to protect your paint while you do it just wrap some electrical tape round screw driver
