ScottHmk4 - 1.2 Cupra replica (Now Sold)

[stezo2k]

Tbh mate unless they're SCN users not many people would pay the extra/notice the difference with the mods. Personally I'd say remove the pricey mods and either sell them or put them on another car. I'd personally stick with a MK4 for the looks and great prices but its up to you fella, at the end of the day its gotta suit you really

Shame really, you've got probably the best looking car on here

Save up and buy a Mk5 1.6 Tdi... Powerful enough and only £30 per year on road tax iirc...

.G.

I agree, but that ones hideous.

Something like this would be a bit more tasty

 

[ScottHmk4]

thats the exact same car really, eh i dno i like the mk2 leons, but a dno yet will see in time

 

[markmeus]

It's all about the subtle differences - plus the first one is a 5 door and 5 door mk5 Ibizas look like the ugly love child of a Kia Cee'd and a BMW 1 series!

 

[oneofthetwins]

if your putting your car to standard and selling some parts i will be your best customer

 

[ScottHmk4]

ahah dont jump the gun now bud, wee while to go yet, and plenty of decisions to be made

 

[Veyron]

Don't sell it as is, you will earn so much more selling the bits but if you love your car (which you do) go for an engine transplant and you said your brother works for seat if i remember correctly? Could he help with it?

 

[ScottHmk4]

yeh he could do it but that would involve like another £1500-£2000 going into the car and for a 2002 plate i dont think its worth it.

 

[Veyron]

It might not be worth it but it's your car and look how much you've already put into it, time and cash ..

sweeeett

argghh my bros putting ideas in my head telling me to keep the car and get an engine planted into it, said it wont be the same selling it and buying another, too good looking to let go he thinks :S

He seems to be talking sense even a couple of grand to do it is an hell of a lot cheaper than buying something else and a FR/Cupra is going to cost a fair bit and not be as personalized!

 

[MrNorma]

Hmmmm something about engine plants scare me..... Im sure you could pick up a cheap engine these days, just got to remember you have all the wireing, brakes, ecu, etc to do and not just the engine.

O can you let you bro know i will need to come see him again. Strut tops still need a bit more of a tighten and something is rattling from when i hit the curb. Sounds like brakes.......

will let him know bud, yeh i know about all that, would ideally need a decnt written off FR and just have everything there waiting to be removed

What else thou bigger brakes front and rear (need different hubs maybe) structurally there maybe be some differences too I do not know what that maybe. If I were you I'd get an an older FR and throw all your parts on it. The insurance and trying to sell on a an ibiza with different engine in may be hard work unless you put an amazing big engine in there who would buy it?

Anyone providing the price was right Or look for a Cupra / FR owner wanting to downsize and swap !

 

[ScottHmk4]

in theory its all well putting ideas here, but in practice, this aint gonna happen, i would much rather get another car and begin again and make a 2nd show car over time. quite fancy black!! dno why just do aha
