Mk3 ibiza S

[JordanMk3]

Your car looks really nice.. The LCR splitter really does make a big difference to the front end.. Nice and tidy as well.. Is the splitter about £20 from a Seat dealer? If so, I'm going to get one Very soon

 

[T_higgs89]

yes my friend umm... think it was just less than £22 just so you know how much money to take if paying cash

thanks car is a littel dirty atm but still im getting some plans together now for what i want to do with it

 

[JordanMk3]

So now that you have gathered some NCD, if you declare your mods, will it not cost as much? Because I got a quote on my car, with aftermarket alloys, and most of the insurance companies wouldnt touch me..

 

[T_higgs89]

this is my second ibiza wrote the first one off just over a year ago now insurance isnt bad, but with mods their are certain things you can do, for example cupra alloys are standard all be it from a cupra they are still standard this method of thought could be applied to suspension as well if you got your hands on some cupra suspension but generally it's best to declare mods however alloys are alloys what difference does aftermarket make?

 

[JordanMk3]

LOL!! Awesome! I'm thinking of getting some Cupra Alloys.. Either them or OZ SuperT's.. (Oh wait.. They are Cupra R alloys)
Why didnt I think of that before. LMAO!!
I have heard that if you get a Cupra suspension, the engine weighs more than the puny 1.4 we have , and so, the car basically does wheelies 24/7.. Damn!

 

[T_higgs89]

hmm.. im bit skeptical of that if its lowered properly it shouldnt do that, ive not heard of anybody having any problems with it just a straight swap its around 20-30 mm lower than our shocks n springs so is quite nice without being to riduclous

 

[JordanMk3]

Well, thats always good to hear, If there is one going cheaply in the not too distant future, I might just nab it for myself.. Thanks bud..

 

[T_higgs89]

haha im after it as well good job your not in the midlands otherwise we'd be fighting

 

[JordanMk3]

Hahaha, brilliant.. Hopefully we can settle for a first come first serve basis, otherwise it would be a chunk of petrol and a couple of bloody noses..

 

[T_higgs89]

haha theirs a limit to what il pay and travel anyway lol like my stuff nice n close

 

[JordanMk3]

Oh yeah, the centre caps are different!! Yours kind of dome in towards the nuts, mine are just flat.. Yours give the wheels a bit more character.. Damn you!! Hahaha!!

You are closer than I thought mate, We'll have to get some piccies of the cars together, it would be good to meet another person off here..

 

[T_higgs89]

definatly dont lower yours beforehand though otherwise ill have to load mine up to lower it dont want to be put to shame

whereabouts are you from?

 

[JordanMk3]

Haha!! It will have to be fairly soon then dude.. Within weeks? Haha! I will have to buy myself a LCR splitter.. So you dont over shaddow me. LMAO!!

I'm from manchester, but its nearer to bolton.. So, its M60 then A6.. Not too far tbh.. I thought you were from Birmingham.. but wirksworth is much closer..

 

[T_higgs89]

not updated for a while now, but gave her an oil change today didnt have much inside so eek hopefully no damage internally to the engine and secondly got her sitting on Dan1.6's old springs hehe the back is nice and low now but for some reason the front doesnt quite sit right any ideas guys? pics will follow tomorrow i think if i give her a wash lol

 

[JordanMk3]

The 1.6 engine is heavier mate, so when the 1.4 engine sits on top of the springs, they dont compress properly.. Mine does it, but just think mines from a cupra.. Engine is even heavier, hence front end is begging like a dog..
Anyways, any updates dude?

 

[T_higgs89]

no updates, been busy lol job hunting and such, not posted for around 4 months lol, ive got a new casette plugged into my headunit tho that gives better sound quality lol other than that got my MOT on friday this week lol

 

[T_higgs89]

ok so MOT was passed just had to chnage my sidelights tho :gay:

however with a bit of advice from ndbrgr i have successfully removed my areial and im currently on ebay getting a C4 one to replace it as my old one was knackered!

also seeing as it was my birthday over the weekend a may get a few other bits any suggestions?

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Them wheels are way to small, and its to high

Looking good though

 

[T_higgs89]

thats only cos i dont have any recent pics of it since its been lowered lol and yea my 14's are abit on the small side but im notworking fulltime and so i dont want to spend great amounts on alloys lol

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Get some pics up then!!!

You don't have to spend much, I bought my current ones for £50 and refurbed them myself

Just spray your wheels a wacky colour
