the engines done over 100k and sounding a little rough, just thought rather than stripping it down n getting it rebuilt it'd be easier to drop a younger one in, and look at other options..
Cheers
Haha, fairs. Well, unless you've got access to a spare engine, and a crane to hook it in, I'd suggest rebuilding would be easier... I presume you wouldn't be putting a bigger engine in, cos that just wreaks havoc with the insurance people. Same with the exhaust systems. My honest suggestion is make sure the engine is kept at it's optimum, Oil/water/coolant levels. Get it serviced regularly, the usual. Anything out of the ordinary will come up there anyway, if the garage is any good, and VAG engines last a lot longer that 100k with good mantinence
If you were looking at more speed, don't bother. there's nothing to be had from the smaller engined VAG cars. What I did when I got mine, I treated it as a practice run for when (and if) I get a
cupra, cosmetically, there's only a couple of bumpers in it. Tinting, stereo's, subs, etc, are relatively cheap mods that most of the time won't affect your insurance, and make the car look, and sound, a lot better. Just my thoughts... Oh, and colour coding. Definitly for the win
By the way, never asked, What colour etc is your
ibiza? Where you coming from? Would be a cool thing to know
