Got a couple of options for car meddling coming up soon. Both company cars (not mine) coming off lease with an option to buy.
First is an Ibiza 2.0 TDI FR facelift, other is an A1 S Line with the same engine, etc.
I've decided to make a derv monster hatch - which car I pick doesn't matter so much at this stage, but I'd like to know if anybody has tried to liven up an Ibiza with this motor? I'd be aiming for 220 BHP and 300 lbs of torque. I'm guessing the clutch would need upgrading and I've had a few VAG gearboxes go so that would worry me? Colour wise, track grey with white mirror caps and OZ wheels, A1 would be black everyhing.
I'd be willing to spend £3k pon map and clutch, if the end result was fast, reliable with little maintaining.
Should I just lease a Leon TDI 184 instead? I've got a 2.0 TDI anyway... I've been told not to mod that though by my bedroom assistant which is a bit annoying
Thanks
