My Mk4 Ibiza FR - then MX5 - Then M3 - Now E36 328

[wenman]

Well I've been on here a while and have finally to do this for my car?!
Its a 55 plate Mk 4 Ibiza FR petrol, I have had the car for just over a year now.
I previously had a 1.1 Peugeot 106 which I loved but the step to the Ibiza was massive!
I have done a few mods so far:
Fitted my stereo system which comprises of:
Kenwood KVT 524 single din flip out screen.
Kicker components up front.
Hertz components in the back
Diamond D3 Sub
Kenwood mono amp
Mutant 4 channel amp.

I have also sprayed the standard wheels satin black.
The front grill and badge and the rear badge have been sprayed matte black.
I have also sprayed my mirror covers satin black to match the wheels.
I have de-wipered the boot.
Put a C2 stubby aeriel on.
Fitted 6k HID's with white sidelights, silver indicator bulbs and white fog ligh bulbs.
The car is on TA Technix coilovers which I purchased off anothes member on here,
they are all the way down on the front with the helper springs still in and all the way down on the rear with the adjusters out.
Seat Sport strut brace
Stickers and SpongeBob
And the last thing I can think of is Toyo Proxie 4's all round

I also have planned:
Turbo back Milltek
Seat Sport FMIC
Forge 007p
Open cone filter
Forge TIP
Stage 2 map
Lamin-X Subtle tint the rear lights and side indicators.
Maybe custom springs for the coilovers to drop it another 2 inches

Lastly here are some pictures of the car today after cleaning it!
(Bad quality phone pics )

Looks very tidy - in fact - I'm just gonna make sure mine is still on the drive as yours looks near as dammit the same ahaha!! All I need is to get some coilies on next month and I'll have it's evil derv twin!

 

[wenman]

Haha thanks dude.
We would have to park up next to eachother at shows would look sick!

 

[Mattwood]

I'll pull my finger out, get it low and hit the shows then - make a weekend or 2 of it haha!

 

[wenman]

Sweet

 

[Mattwood]

as a by the way - i note your on the 'budget' coilovers that so many seem to hate on here - how are you finding the ride and that with them? only ask as my car is my daily and I dont want the ride to be unbearable

 

[wenman]

Erm they creak, can be quite bouncy but on A roads, motorways and roundabout theyre great! haha

 

[wenman]

Small update, i have ordered some limin-x subtle tint for the rear light and new front grilles as they were broken
I will update with pics as soon as all is here and fitted

 

[will7291]

let me know how those lamin x tints go, im thinking of buying these aswell for the rear lights

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Liking the look of your FR pal! Keep up the good work. Maybe spacers for the rear wheels needed?
Have a look at my RR thread to compare our cars!

 

[wenman]

Will, I thought the lamin x was going to turn up today but it didn't!
I will put pics up as soon as its here and done
Cheers Mike, it needs spacers all round! Its super tucked haha,
the offsets really high on the FR wheels I always thought it was lower.
I should have some A4 comps coming soon
I will have a look at your RR Mike I haven't looked at it for a while

 

[wenman]

Lamin X is now on, might re do the indicators as they didn't come out to well!
Rest looks ok just gotta wait for a few small bubbles to go.
I will update with pics tonight.
It was quite easy to use and with the help of a hair dryer it goes on nicely

 

[wenman]

Completely forgot about this!
As before Lamin-x is on and has settled nicely with no air bubbles!
I have since fitted a green cotton panel filter, drilled and smoothed the airbox.
Fitted a Forge Split-R, but I think i may just change to the 007P
And lastly I have just bought a cupra/ PD-160 intake so that should be here next week to be fitted
Plans for the moment are to space the wheels or find something I like, make it lower and next month get a Milltek cat-back exaust and maybe a Forge TIP if I have the funds

 

[wenman]

Audio update!
Well my mutant 4 channel decided to die
Which gives me the chance to get some thing decent!
I'm looking at wither a Genesis profile 4, JL or something of similar quality.
I have also ordered some Hertz HSK components to replace the crappy Kicker ones
So by the end of the month every thing should sound 100 times better!

 

[wenman]

Hertz speakers have arrived!
Will be fitting soonish depending on when I get an amp

 

[wenman]

Quick update.
I have finally sorted out an amp for my car but got carried away and have bought two!
I've got a Genesis Profile four and a profile sub
So a nice matching pair, I will be doing a full boot build and getting pics up as soon as it's done.
I'm also on the lookout for new wheels hopefully some D90's

 

[wenman]

BIG UPDATE

My cars been spoiled this month much to the dissapproval of my girlfriend
The new amps turned up, Genesis Profile four and a profile sub, which will be fitted along with my new Hertz HSK components.
I got new personal number plates for my b'day
And new wheels turned up today!
Can wait to split them and get them resprayed and shiny!
Pics tomorrow of the new stuff

 

[Blanco92]

Whilst you're out getting pics can you get some of the lights and indicators you've lamin-x'd? Really interested to see how that looks.

Should look mint when all the bits are on, looking forward to the pics mate.

 

[wenman]

Ofcourse mate no problem

 

[wenman]

Amps and new components are in
It sounds amazing! I'm so please with how it sound :thumbs:
But I forgot to take pictures
I will try to get some up later in the week of the new wheels amps, and hopefully have my new plates on
