having some great fun atm (not really just having a moan)

1. boot lock has started jamming shut
2. passenger window switch has completely bust i think so need new 1
3. central locking has de-coded itself and as such cant use my remote lock
4, driver's door is connected to the remote central locking so it only open's the passenger door and boot when coded and when the boot isnt jammed.

great fun atm and ive been off ill from work so got no funds to repair any of it.

right so i had a fun little weekend i fixed my boot lock that was the first thing :D, and i managed to re-code my central locking, i think if correctly diagnosed by jezyg then i need a new remote door lock mecanism for my driver's door so just that and a window switch to buy :D washed it as well will get some pics up this afternoon if weather holds.

Woop March is here again

hey guys, got my years NCD again!
its a year two days ago now since i had my accident in my first Ibiza and ive decided im gona "TRY" and keep it for another year to build the NCD up a little bit before throwing my self at something with a bigger engine
im thinking of getting an exhaust system fitted not sure on cat back or just back box, anyway got teh prices for both i know i only have a 1.4 but you know im fed up of no sound in the engine hehe.

anyway just a few things to consider,
will i need to cut the bumper, to get the tail pipe to fit properly (im thinking an oval or a small straight twin) or can i have it dropped slightly lower so i dont need to cut it, i would prefer this as then if i come to sell it it can be put back to a standard system. im not lowered yet but im only planning on around 30-40mm as coilover's on a 1.4 is pretty pointless.

went for a clear earlier got some pics to post later on cant do anything atm at college lol

Looking good mate! :thumbup:

I understand your lack of car funds pain!!! Hard modding on a shoe string, but does make everything more rewarding :)

In a similar situation, I'll be finishing uni soon and then hopefully be getting a job too :D

To be honest it's just a photo I found on my computer from years ago. No idea where I got it from! But then just added some text to it in paint ;)

fun fun fun!

so today started off pretty slow as usually for a thursday (my one day off in the week) was awoken for no f'in reason by my mum (again) luckily however for one of my friends as their car had gone thruogh a hedge luckily enough the nice farmer let her drive it out the field and only pay £20 for the damages to his hedge and fence, so after a little trek back to the home town and my friend safe at home and off the road with the car in the garage, i went home and got very bored, however i started thinking about my airbox as id never taken it off the car or checked the filters since owner ship from october.

anyway cleaned it up gave the filters a hoover :p and just a general clean around te engine bay, had fun learnt a little bit and noticing it pull a little better as a result so the day was not lost unfortunatly got no pictures of the car while it was in the field.

i might write up a tutorial in the near future on a good method to clean airbox and butterfly valve for te 1.4 as their isnt one yet

Always good giving the air filter and box a good clean. Amazing the amount of crap that collects in there!

Thought about smoothing the inside of the filter box? I did that on my 1.4, obviously didn't make massive amount of power difference, but deffintley was smoother through acceleration.

you should post your issues on the Mk3 forum, you should get a lot more replies :)

anyway the car looks pretty tidy for a Mk3, looks cracking in black
