Yeh i suppose it does, although the camera sounds slightly different. At the nwvag meet lastnight people we saying how it doesnt sound like a diesel but has a really deep bellow :D I couldnt imagine how loud it would be without the back box!

Car looks great mate, your wheels look like they're exactly the same colour as mine. It sounds really good too...hopefully mine will sound similar in the next few months :)

Yours look darker than mine, im thinking of getting them done a metalic black but its gonna cost £30 a wheel to get them redone. You'll have to go milltek if you want to sound like me.....funnily enought ive got a downpipe for sale :D

I did like your old wheels as well, being 17s I think they suit the Ibiza more. But slam wise 16s are good.

Have you thought about spraying the wheels yourself? I did a full refurb on my vRSs and it only cost me about £50 in materials and paint. Yours may be even cheaper if you just redo the faces. This is the guide that I made if your interested

I don't think my budget will stretch to Milltek so i might just go for a full mufflerectomy with a MK5 R32 twin exit!

I think i'll giv it a go myself then, did you have to take the tyres off?


I had a look at my exhaust the other day when it was on the ramp being checked out for something and there is no middle box lol. Just a back box :confused: Maybe the resonated bit is the back box? and non-resonated may not have a packed (silenced) back box. I always thought it had a middle box :blink:

New brakes arrived today!

I ordered a complete new brake kit from Hi-Spec a couple of weeks ago and here it is! I got 310mm disks which are 28mm thick and 4-pot 'monster' calipers with the 30% bigger pad. First impressions are great, the calipers are much bigger than I thought they would be abd the kit seems to be really high quality.....just got to fit them now :funk:

(compared to the size of my wallet)

(not sure if the disc is put together correctly lol)
