My Seat Ibiza PD130 - Big Turbo Time ;) GTB2566VK

Hey,

Stuck in third :( internal on the box, getting it sorted, box comes off monday, cheers!

I'm going to be selling the Ibiza sadly over the next few weeks, getting a 2007/2008 Ford Fiesta Zetec-S will under 30,000 miles on the clock, cheap to run, cheap to fix and reliable.
Cheaper Insurance, going to keep it 100% standard.
Few years time I will go out and buy something like a Skyline or Silvia...

aw its a shame that youll be selling her..
getting a petrol next time then? dont think we can keep any car standard :p
 
Ha cheers guys,

Another change of plans, looking at mondeos instead, went to buy a fiesta ZS, was put off by how slow it was.
Test drove a 2009 ford mondeo tdci last night and love it....
Looking at getting a 2010 Ford Mondeo TDCI 140bhp Zetec, hopefully Saturday....

Seat Ibiza Cupra Mk5 ;)

Cheap to insure, cheap-ish to run, and rapid ;)

No thanks :p not the car for me!

My gearbox has been sent off today after a huge amount of hassle of the gearbox company blaming the garage the remove/fit the gearbox!
Gear-Change Bridgwater are a bunch of ellbends!

Anyway hopefully have the car back next week!
Still looking at Mondeos, nearly bought a Mondeo ST TDCI yesterday!

Seriously nice car!! Very mean looking, and is diesel!!
 
Picked up a new inlet manifold gasket for when I clean out the inlet, also wanting to buy an egr delete kit for when I do this....

Waiting for Coilovers and think im going to buy some lenso alloys rather than bbs, smaller, cheaper and look more standard, which I like :)

Will update on which wheels I buy.

Intercooler and gearchange shaft going on Saturday with all new boost pipes from turbo to EGR!
Was thinking whilst typing, maybe I could cut the inlet to fit a silicone pipe straight on with a bit of playing around ? hmm...

Cant wait, plymouth cruise here I come!
 
Coilovers arrived! fitting them tonight!
heres the whole kit!

So far, love them, ride feels amazing, good kit, took ages to fit and top mounts fell apart from old shocks! Drop links are short enough from the kit, not a very hard ride but gets bouncy after 60mph!
All depends on the road!

Getting BBS's tonight....
