[brandon19]

ah yeh i was thinking try get a universal one to fit somehow due to cost, let me know how that works out

erm question for ya, someone selling remapped ecu for one of ours, if i bought it will that just plug into mine?

cheers matey

 

[joelyboy5]

Dont know if it is just plug and play as it were with ecu's on these mate someone on here will know, they are awesome remapped though trust me!
When i get the intercooler done eventually i will put up pictures and how i did it! Sorry i cant help with the ecu question!

 

[brandon19]

no probs mate, yeh i wanna buy it but not sure if it will just be plug in and that's it i'll have to find out
when you put fmic on you'l have to get it mapped again w you?

 

[joelyboy5]

Won't need to get it mapped again as it just stage 1 will just improve how the car runs supposedly colder charge going in and bigger boost pipe diameter should help! Don't really want to pay for it to be mapped again as i intend on going hybrid in the long run! My mates got a hybrid tdi golf and its animal lol lot of money though!

 

[brandon19]

ah right i got ya. . . yes i've heard they are pretty mad when hybrid that's way off yet for me haha it's mega money

 

[joelyboy5]

They are pretty crazy lol! The standard intercooler strangles the cars as wel as the standard exhaust so any changes are better! What colour ibiza you got mate done nyfin to it yet?

 

[brandon19]

mine's black mate, haven't had it long at all, only done hids, tints, honeycomb grills and fr aluminium mirrors so far

 

[joelyboy5]

I like the black ones looked at 1 in black but wasnt sure about it, looked at a black vrs as wel but decided i preffered the ibizas interior to the vrs. Are you gna gets some pics up once uve done more?
You have to start modding somewhere mate is a slippery slope once you start lol! Some of the best mods are the the small ones the small touches normally make the car!

 

[brandon19]

it's not bad, yeh i will start the modding and yeh man slippery slope i had corsa befoe and i always had it in the garag everyday doing stuff lol and buying stuff from the corsa c forum and i loved it but it got written off by some nob so i got paid out and bought the ibiza but i've always wanted one , yeh will get some pics up soon, i need to pay money to be an extra member or something to put pics up?
i wanna get it looking nice, wanna get some wheels really then coilies i'm deffo gonna get coilies, after crimbo i'm gonna start on all that stuff

 

[brandon19]

ah i got a mate with a vrs and it looks the nuts but i wouldn't be suprised for 8 grand lol i'm still on his ass lol same engine just diff car lol

 

[joelyboy5]

Modding is just addictive lol! I had a saxo vtr before that was always getting modded but got written off by some idiot, messed my back up and got whiplash which werent good!
You got any wheels in mind for yours? I was gna get some vrs wheels but missed an oportunity for some, so got the ones on the car only cost me 120 with pretty much brand new tyres! I think your right waiting and getting coilies so much better than springs!
You dont have to pay nyfin to put pics and that up you just have to have 15 post and have been a member more than 15 days!

 

[brandon19]

ah my mates got one of those too lol pretty quick until i remap mine ill leave him lol. . . erm what vrs wheels did you want? fabia or octavia? my mate has changed his and still has standards, i fancy some monza alloya from mark 5 gti golf but dunno how the car would take to 18s and the 17inch ones are rare to find second hand, yes you got a bargain on those wheels u got there i like em mate

 

[joelyboy5]

Was gna get octavia 17' ones! 18's will be to big mate especially if you want to lower it as wel. Saxos are nothing compared to a mapped ibiza lol amazing what you can mess with lol!

 

[joelyboy5]

Gave the ibiza a clean this afternoon as it was really dirty thanks to the weather recently. So i took a couple of pictures not the greatest as off my iphone.

 

[brandon19]

yeh was thinking get some 17s anyway spesh with coilies yeh i dunnooo ill see wat comes up have a look around see what wheels i like

 

[joelyboy5]

Thought i would put up a couple of pics of my car in the snow we have had recently has been fun over the last few weeks was nice today to be able to put my foot down and have a bit of fun lol!

The first time it snowed the ibiza is the front car if you can tell lol!

How thick the snow was on my roof when i dug the car out.

As it started the second time around took hours to get home in the traffic

Update 24/3/11

Hi, I havent updated this for a while.
So since last time i have fitted cupra bumpers which make the car look so much better its incredible, really happy with it now.
Heres some pics:

Almost forgot fitted these as well:

Cupra Wishbone Bushes next to standard ones that came out

Poly Roll Bar Bushes next to standard ones that came out

Has definately improved the front suspension car feels much more stable and seems to have improved traction when you boot it.

Got a couple more things planned to do in the next few weeks at the moment will update this when they are done.

Just found your thread, car is looking good pal! Our cars could have been twins before you bought those Cupra bumpers...
