Hey guys, been on here for ages only really using it for referance for any issues i've been having with the above two cars.

The Ibiza is my wifes, its a 2004 TDi Cupra

The Fabia is mine, its a 2004 as well.

Both great wee cars, but they both need some TLC. :( We've had the Cupra for about 3 years and the Fabia for 2 now.

Heres some pictures in their glory days!

Its recently suffered a broken spring, so was treated to a set of Eibach springs, not much difference to the standard ride, still bloody hard! Other than that its remained pretty standard.

The Fabia has a few more bits done to it, currently awaiting some goodies to get it through MOT.

Currently it has Standard suspension, as the JOM coilovers that were in it were so horrible a ride it made my dogs sick! Currently awaiting a 25mm set of AP springs and shocks from www.performance-360.co.uk and some new bushings to go along with te cupra ones that are already in it.

It has a remap and its around 170bhp with 300lbs, to go along with this there are 312mm S3 brakes up front and there's a SEAT Sport strut brace at the front.

Spacers were 15mm front and 20mm back on a moderate drop it buffed the arches a little.

Before this all of our cars were petrol (Focus ST, Clio 182, 207 Sport) and i miss the revvy fun times in these but the DERV's arnt too bad for the pocket ;)

Anyway thanks for reading!

It is indeed, it came with an ABT Map on it and its sitting arounf the 199bhp 320lbs mark.

Its faster, the wife enjoys this fact. But in fairness there's not much between them, i'll put that down to the different ratios in the gearboxes :)
