Altech's Ibiza, Replacement Is Here! Can You Guess What It Is? Pg 33

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Has to be the Mk4 I like the Mk5 but there's something much more appealing about the Mk4. I've looked at all different kinds of hot hatches but I always end up listening to R32 videos on youtube

Milltek system will defo be on the cards. Unless the car I buy doesn't have one fitted already

Good lad! I totally agree. I think I'll go for a Mk5 next. Unless there's some lower mileage Mk4's about when I look to change. Or I'll just put an R36 engine in mine

I must admit, I was the same. I know R32's arent the quickest hot hatches by any means, but the 4wd was a huge factor, the other was the noise. I still love the noise mine makes. Got the sports cats and non res cat back on mine. Getting the manifolds done soon hopefully. Not cheap, but frees the revs up and the noise is unreal

There was a Mk4 in DBP with loads of good mods and 30,000 going for £9999 a while back! SOooooooooooooooooo cheap!

Happy hunting mate. The rear springs are a common thing to snap, check for wear on the drivers seat bolster (very common), full leather have saggy drivers seat bases and the most expensive problem is, put the climate control on, set it to AUTO. Both fans under the bonnet should run constantly at a slowish speed. If one or either fans stop, then spin like mad then a resistor on the fan has burnt out. MEGA expensive. New fans + labour = not cheap. Works out about £300 for the fans alone I think!

let me know if your selling the alloys seporate mate, not scavenging, just if you are. this car does looks awesome, hope it goes to someone who will look after it, modded or standard.

Cheers for the info mate I think I'll join R32oc soon and swat up before going to view one. One thing I do remember reading about are timing chains snapping and costing huge amounts to fix!

It will be sad to see this Ibiza go , i really like it
I must admit though i do like the R32's

If Scott decides not to have the wheels, i will be more than happy to consider having them off you

woops, well i love it anyway - which would you say is better facelift FR front or Cupra Front?

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Very different bumpers. I would go for FR instead of Cupra....

 

[bboarder]

Another question...
How hard was it to fit the exhausts?
and did you get it done in a shop or did you do it?

cheers

cupra. imo the FR is too much like the basic 1.2/1.4 facelift fronts. just bigger honeycombs.....

I designed the exhaust and then got a custom exhaust place to make it. They said it was a hassle to make due to getting everything centred. It fits easily enough though

Before the de-modding began I persuaded my mates to take some rolling shots of my car. The ripped me at first (there not into cars as much as me!) but when they saw the pics after they thought they look quite cool. Anyways here are the pics,

So, my Ibiza is pretty much back to standard and has been joined on the driveway by my new toy I'll update this thread soon with some pics of it
