As i say i need to downgrade to just 1 car so itll be going soon...
Its a lovely car to drive though...

Since owning it ive tarted up the engine bay a little bit as there was some stray wiring and just some untidy aditions... and driven it like it should be and thats it

So fast its unbelievable, hopefully though my other ibiza http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=182668
will be mapped shortly and ill be able to get the full potential from the GT2871R After driving both, i notice the larger turbo of the two kicks in a lot later which is a little dissapointing but im sure once its mapped itll all be worth it :D

ha yea i know :D
it was overfueling but thats all fixed and runs a peach :)
yea standard internals, no receipts for anything inside anyway so i presume its all factory.

Dream to drive though... in comparison to my converted MK2 its so much quieter, smoother, and refined haha

yea its really good actually, little bit of rust started on the drivers rear arch and just under the glass on the back, otherwise its spot on...
Not had it on the rollers as of yet, id like to, infact ill have a look about and see if theres a day open anytime soon... more for curiosity than anything else really.

haha...
yea its his old car, just sorted a few bits out on it, and its up for sale... cant afford to run both, didnt realise i couldnt use NCB on 2 cars so the insurance is a nightmare!!

Thought it was his car, looks nice.

Yeah you can't, what's making it a bit harder for me to get a second car, but not that bad tbh :D

Someone will get a beast :D
