seat ibiza 1.4 mk3 - to this!

well some may have seen the car at shows etc and some know me on the forum

this was my old mk3 1.4 biza





now she's gone.... and made way for this





i know some people may slate me for getting it but its nearly perfect for what i want in a car.

its a 2.2cdti Honda accord 54 plate. Full leather, electric everything, sun roof, xenon's etc etc etc.

140bhp and 215flb torque as standard but once remaped it should be 192 bhp and 300 flb torque. and still return more mpg than you petrol go-ers!

anyway, let me know what you think good and bad. Since i have had the car 3 weeks i have not had a chance to do any mods but they will be done in the future as i have plans for :
new 18's wheels
new suspension
front and rear 'lip' and side skirts
remap
new exhaust
tints
audio

and loads more but i have to get the money first!

Adam

thanks guys

mark diesel is the best thing i have come across in my life!

on my last tank of fuel... i was not gentle with my right foot as Ed will tell you and i got 60.2mpg

the seats where out a mk3 cupra R.... good luck trying to find any!

no idea how low it really was, but multi story car park where a nono and speed bumps where avoided.

30mm is no way near enough. i recon at one point i was around 80 - 100mm lower than standard 1.4 ride height

well since im now manicly saving for a house.. modding has been halted for the time being.

so far i have done:
Xenons
LED conversions
wheels
remap 193bhp and 298flb torque

will get some pics up, but im at work so dont have access to my photobucket accound here

Daniel.. dont bother making a cupra by getting the exhaust , bumpers etc.


My car was running:
'standard' 1.4 front bumper... slightly modified and colour coded.
'Standard' rear bumper, again slightly modified and colour coded.

Custom back box. not chav in the slightest, gave a nice little pop and bang every so ofer through down shifts and a nice LITTLE growl as you accelerate.. big boxes on a 1.4 car just isnt worth it... buy a saxo if you want to be in that crowd.

Cupra rear spoiler
LCR splitter
1.6 side skirts
Cupra R interior
Custom sill plates
AP Coilovers

etc etc etc...

i wonder if she's still alive ?
I still look back and think i did a good job.. not chav, cupra esq but not cupra either.

a long awaited update:

first thing i did was to fit some xenon units from a 2.4 to replace the crappy halogen bulbs i had...
the result is pleasing



these are factory fit wheels but i have had them powder coated.



also i was going to be fitting these :



but due to the lack of space behind my current wheels i would need to get new longer studs, aswel as custom spacers made. it would have been awsome to do.. but i dont have that type of money at the moment
