It's already had a fair bit done to it so im happy for now. Still on standard turbo though so around 175-180hp and 280ftlbs. Torque can be whacked up a bit with the sachs clutch its got, will be getting the revo stage 2 taken off and the bloke who did my petrol cupra will be doing it haha

Not really no. Been sat on my parents driveway since Inters last year. Since it last made an appearance, Ive bought my first house and been playing about with my daily driver, and just not had time/funds/motivation to fix the few niggles with the Ibiza.
Heres a couple of pictures from my Jetta daily/project (the one that was staying standard) just to keep this thread alive anyway. Hopefully have time/money/motivation to get back to the Ibiza come summer time!

what set up you havin on it tom still thinkin of it on the the honda if i dont sell it lol

Gone for Airlift V2, with slam bags, twin Viair 380cc compressors, 5gal stubby tank, and a bit of a showy but practical boot build. Get it done Adam!

mate iam loving your darkside mods, that thing shifts. A ridiculously expensive visit to darkside is on my list to do aswell

Thanks mate. It went even better with the shorter ratio box I fitted just before taking it off the road. Looking forward to getting the niggles sorted and getting it back out really.

Ah, now I know who stole my Mercedes rims ^^

:cartman:

Good to see your still around Alex! How's the business venture going?

Update time. As some will know, the engine is back in the car, and running. Took it to GTI International last weekend, and it got a lot of attention.

The car is now back in the workshop, and the gearbox is coming back out, as the company who rebuilt the bottom end, havent fitted the crankshaft oil seal right, and its pissing out into the bell housing. Hopefully only be off the road for a couple of days though.

Also got my new Forge intercooler fitted. Bumper has been well and truly butchered!

Made myself a catch can too. Fancied something a bit different, and knocked this together Friday morning before setting off to Inters.

Dude your catch tank, what happened to the tip end of it? On my pd150 a pipe goes straight from crankcase to the tip.... Would I be ok putting a little filter on this and getting a tank made with just an input from the crankcase?
