Alright mate, yeah the Ibiza is running well, had a few little hiccups recently but all is well. You going o get started modding the PD130 then? What colouur did you go for rhis time?

I've been playing about with my Liquid unit again. Not a bad reading with Traction Control still on,still need somewhere where I can open it up properly to get a full power reading(peak BHP reading top right):

Also, ordered some cheesy new stickers for TFS, bit tongue in cheek but they amuse me, will put them on next time I wash the car:

Not the biggest mode, but possibly one of the more useful!

Will hopefully whack that in ASAP. I have missed having a sunglasses holder after having one in my old Corsa.

Your car looks good in those pics :)

You thought about spacing out the rear wheels?

Thanks :)

I did, but have a bad history with spacers so decided against it in the end.

Still looking great will bet you put some hours into that paint work.

still running fine ?

Thanks John, yeah I do get quite into the detailing side of things, it's had a heck of a lot of paint cleaner, polish, glaze and 3 coats of collinite leading up to those pics. Is still running good, just saving up to have my INA manifold fitted now :)

Car will be on stand with Ibiza OC at GTI Spring fest next weekend.

what changed in a month for you to get spacers then!? lol

Lol
Still not happy with the handling...although tbh I think I've solved it without using the spacers now, but they're going on tomorrow(got sent tapered bolts instead of Radius). If there are any I should be able to trust it should be H&R! lol They're only 10mm each side...and weigh next to nothing, which is great as unsprung weight is not good. I think the 15mm ones were too much, showed too much of gap between arch and tyre. Combined with the RARB and uprated bushes I think it should finally give me the confidence I've never had in the car since I had my accident in the old one.

10mm spacers are going on tonight...only issue I'm having at the moment is how stiff it is, gives me back ache at times, do like the ride like that tho! lol

Right got my 10mm spacers on. Perfect for the look I wanted tbh...didn't want them sticking out too far, in fact I wanted it to almost look like I wasn't running spacers. They just stop the back wheel from looking so lost in the arch and more to the point even things out a bit, as I run 3mm spacers up front to clear my brake calipers.
