Hi, just got myself a 52 plates Seat Ibiza S 1.2 the other day. I know it aint the biggest engine in the world but im pretty happy with it. Im going to be doing a few modifications to it when I get the money. A few of these mods will include:

• 17" Audi RS6 alloys
• All round tints
• Lowering Springs, around 35-50mm
• 3" oval exhaust back box
• Green panel filter
• Cupra front and rear bumpers
• ECU remap

Will post some pictures up when I start modifying it.

welcome to scn

should look good! id recommend you get coilovers instead of springs as it doesnt go low enough imo! ecu remap will be pointless will save you a little on fuel but wont be much power gains

enjoy the car mate!

nice to see another 1.2 beast coming to the site, welcome mate!
and i was born in harrogate just thought i'd share that lol

Wouldnt put 17s on the 1.2 will kill the acceleration on it. No point in a remap at all matey lucky to see 4bhp out of 1, coilovers as rash said would be a better option as spings dont lower it much. Cupra bumpers look class and the green pannel filter makes a nice noice for the price.

Welcome!!

Wouldn't bother with the remap, spend the money on coilovers instead.

Enjoy!

4 bhp? is that it. hmm. i was told by the business that are going to do it for me that they would be able to get around 20bhp out of it. whether or not there bullshitting i dunno, cus quite a few of you have said not to bother with a remap.

 

[John-Cupra_TDI]

To gain 20 Bhp form a remap alone on a N/A engine is a bit optimistic to say the least.

 

[Ad Lav]

20bhp would need remap, exhaust, proper air filter and cams at least!

 

[rashcupra]

as stated above get coilovers with the remap money instead of springs!
