Hey guys,

Picked up my MK2 Ibiza GTI Cupra Sport yesterday, and i'm loving it so far :)

Quick rundown of the details:

1999 2.0 8v
3 owners from new
69K miles with FSH (was previously owned by a Seat mechanic)
Red ( Not sure which one yet)
Twin exhaust (not sure whether this is a system or backbox, or what make yet, but sounds nice)
K+N panel filter
Lowered on springs (again, not sure on make or drop)

I'll let some pics do the talking

Cheers guys. Lexus was a nice car, but not really 'me'. Car needs some attention on the passenger rear arch, the paint has cracked, so will be looking to get that whole 1/4 panel resprayed. Plans are some nicer wheels, cupra mk3 interior and steering wheel, and just a bit more general cleaning here and there, and then enjoy. Was quite suprised at how nippy these are, was expecting them to be really sluggish!

Awesome :love:

Looking to get one of these at the end of this year (maybe a 16v if I can find something decent).

Look forward to seeing what you do with this, looks like its on 40/40 spring set up :)

Thanks mate, always loved cleaning my red Leon when i had that, hard work getting it clean but worth it in the end :)

Need some rims though, but i've gotta shift my old wheels from the lexus :(

as for the exhaust poke, just get underneath and loosen the clamps and give it more of a drashing into the middle box, do you find the exhaust bangs on the axle at the mo?

Not at all. Seems fine, as i said its not enough to worry me :)

Anyone know if a front lower strut brace off a mk3 golf will fit?
