Hi all.
I have been visiting the forum for a while now but as yet never registered. Now that i have some sensible insurance quotes its time to start looking properly for a 20v T so i thought i would sign up and say hello.
Searched hundreds of old threads on what to look for when buying one and what problems to expect. So hopefully i wont ask questions that have been asked a billion times before.
At present i drive a citroen saxo vts. (yes i will expect some abuse for that).
However, its not a chav chariot. In my eyes its the perfect spec saxo.
GMC 4-1 heat wrapped exhaust manifold.
GMC btb exhaust
Enclosed induction kit with green filter.
Cam covers painted anthracite
277mm brake conversion
Brembo discs
Fedro pads
Bias valve adjusted
Billstein shortened group n dampers all round
Gmc 40mm springs with torsion matched perfectly
25mm Anti roll bar
Sparco upper and lower strut brace
Powerflex bushes throughout
Suspension geometry set perfect on a lotus test bed
New Falkenen tyres
GMC quick shift
106 gti leather seats all round. Perfect, crease marks but no wear.
Dimma grill with black mesh
A little pic
As i mentioned i am now looking for an ibiza cupra 20v t in either black or blue so the saxo is now for sale.
Living just 20 miles from Jabba sport im going to use them for pretty much everything.
Im pretty clued up with basic mechanics on the paxo but i have never once tinkered with a seat. Hopefully they have more room that sax's so i dont get so many scrapped knuckles.
Ideally im looking for a car that has had some choice modifications. I.E:
Ko3s turbo upgrade
Forge 007 dump valve
jabba remap
3"downpipe with a 100 cell cat
Helix clutch
Fast road engine mounts
Lowered 40mm on dampers and springs or coil overs
Brembo brake conversion
2 1/2" exhaust system with a 4" round/oval tailpipe
A+M front mount intercooler with samco pipes
Green dynatwist CAI
Boost gauge
Front Splitter
Hopefully i'll see 230-250bhp and il be happy.
I do have one main worry. My saxo is like a go-cart round my back roads, i love the way it handles. I've never driven an ibiza (i know im very presumptuous wanting a car i have never driven) and i dont want to miss the sax after spending around £7000 on an ibiza.
Is there anyone who has owned or driven both able to give me a comparison?
Any way, sorry for such a long post that isn't in the newbie section. I shall hopefully be a proud owner of an ibiza very soon and join in with some events.
