Improve handling of cupra

[depresion]

sell it and by a Cooper S......lol cooper S makes a prelude look like a wallowy fat mans coupe, eh Davels serious go-kart thrills!

But Seriously i would repeat what others say and look at coil overs as the most cost effective means, other than that, but a different car is the only real option. If you think you can better what cost SEAT millions to develope in a short trip to halfords you will be sorely disappointed. you can only build on it.

If you want a serious handler you buy what are recognised as the best FWD handlers, ie, Mini, clio 172 cup, Civic type-r or integra. sorry,

Also not sure the LSD would revoloutionise the handling too much, will be much better for getting traction down and solving the silly understeer you get on the higher torqued 1.8T's and TDi cupra's. But 1200 quid is a lot of money to add on top of money spent on engine mods and price of car etc.

An LSD will transform the car but it's not cheap, I think the Jabba ARB is fantastic addition as it stops some of the rear end rolly polly feel drop it a little on coilovers as well and it will be a good combination. Just remember that you get more grip with a softer more complient setup than a hard bone shaker.

never said that a limited slip diff helped handling AntFR


just went a little off topic

Yes transform to a certain type of car. look at the Focus RS and the effect the ATB diff has on that, not to everyones taste. But one of the real downsides i found of the ibiza ( not that it was silly bad on handling) is the chasis itself. I think #1200 quid would be a waste if you had'nt done the coilovers and uprated roll bars etc.

Also another cheap mod is spacers, widen the track a bit can help. Also wheels and tyres. 17's seem to be the optimal size and just right on the beeza,

i would love a go again in a 1.8T ibiza as starting to forget what they are like. Althougfh my mums Polo GT does occasionally remind when i borrow it.
