Yup.. you just can't beat that sound. My manager didn't believe me when I said it was standard exhaust and engine.., said it sounds as good as his Focus RS! Ha Ha!:p

Well I know that if I had an extra couple of grand burning a whole in my pocket I'd have a 16v cupra mk2 over anything else. Love the look of them. Fancy a black one, the newest I could possibly get!
Like your idea of building one though, would love to see the look on peoples face when they hear the turbo hisssss. :D

Never had that happen to me :blink:

I find them pretty reliable! :)


something to do with the throttle body and butterfly valve being filthy? think that was it although as you can tell im not overly mechanical!

anyway whatever it was was cleaned and solved the problem, ive heard it from a few people

when you press the brakes firmly and they work great but press em again and they go DAMN HARD - still work ok but takes more pressure than the clutch

think its master cylinder time :(:(

That'll be easy to convert him, I was looking at the Mk4 Astra Sri's randomly opened up the Auto Trader and saw the Ibiza, went to view it that day and handed the money over.... never looked back :)

I think thats the problem im having now, its driving me insane. Thought it was coming from the engine bay but now concluded its the dash.
Slightly off topic, but how the hell do you stop it!!!!

Check the positioning of the middle silencer - If it's too close to the heatshield brace thing it will bang against it under engine load. The exhaust moves a fair amount under load..

cheers - it moves a hell of a lot more now i got coilies on bangs and wobbles :lol:
