ibiza gti cupra sport. 2.0 16v

[jackbmx2004]

Evening everyone. This weekend im goin to get my new car. Its a mk2 gti cupra sport. The car is standard apart from lowering springs. Im looking to modify it slightly. Im goin to get some coilovers a stainless exhaust and some new wheels in the future. What exhaust and coilovers dose anyone recomend? Also any engine mods that will increase power. The obvious ones i will do. Perfomance chip and induction kit ect. Can i get any other power gains? Does anyone run uprated cams? Any help will be great.

Cheers.

most people run hottuning/ta technix coilovers (same company, sometimes called Tech Art too)
(email edwin at hottuning dot eu saying your on SCN, suj sent ya, about £170 delivered)

wheels are all down to preference

i own a 16v, so will leave the mods to someone who knows

EDIT: hang on, sure it said 16v before? :S

I wouldn't have a chip, but dinky dave had highlift cams put on, and gave good gains

Yep definetely get the TA Technix coilovers. They are alittle bit hard but are excellent for the price, even on an everyday car like mine.

Exhaust wise either get a custom-made stainless system or get a mk3 cupra backbox. Looks really good with the twin tailpipes and is OEM.

As for anything else I will leave it to an ABF owner as I only have a 1.4.

ok cheers guys. will let you know how it goes. will have a look at the coilovers to.

as these guys mention ta technics coilovers cheap cheap,
air filters pipercross do 1,
exhaust super sprint to full exhaust including manifold
recomend doing polybuses and anti roll bars
brakes from a mk3 cupra R
20mm spacers(suj am i right?) on rear

MOST IMPORTANT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>take the rear wiper off <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<MOST IMPORTANT​

then you can think of doing more "Power" related mods

throttle bodies are expensive but worth the money
OR if your after MORE power (250+ do a mk3 dash + engine conversion) cost ya a fair bit but for the money its the easiest way to get power

Are the TA Technix coilovers good enough for a track day?

 

[suj]

Yeah can put 20mm spacers on
Only sissy's get rid of rear wipers

Bubbleboy, they can be used for track, as they are hard, so will help, my car feels great on normal roads, I can literally throw it into a roundabout and it sticks like glue

 

[BubbleBoy]

Then I have to order one of them coilovers then, do you know if they ship to Sweden suj?

Also, what anti rollbar are you running dave? cant find any one for the mk2 ibiza. Does the mk3 ibiza anti rollbars fit?
