I have only drove my ibiza once (almost ready for road) and I think its quality .... its a improvement from my mk5 fiesta anyway which makes all kinds of noises and dosnt feel as solid

Got to agree, my MK4 Fez was awful. Good job you aren't going from a MK6 Fiesta though. Head and shoulders above the Ibiza in handling and refinement.

Before I get flamed, I had one for two years before getting the Altea.

Get ur rarb , strut brase , coileys,spacers etc and see what you think then , mine handles better than my btcc Leon and that was lowered

I had mk5 fiesta 1.25 before my ibiza I loved it then drove the ibiza and realised how cheap the build quality felt in the Ford!

Telling him to get all them mods then decided bit of a massive risk spending all that money then going erm nah still not happy then you are stuffed you will lose money selling the mods on and even more leaving them on the car selling it on and even more if you can't fit them yourself.

[Copey]

So is it known that coily's sort the handling out?? mine oversteers like no-ones biznesss.

 

[mazzerati]

Yer they make it much better. What tyres you got on the back?

Cheap tyres all the way round(going to get some good ones when i get me finances sorted) cant get the power down on the corners either, but having ridiculous amounts of torque wont help.

Coileys will solve the problem mate , mine handles like a dream .What mods do you already have ?

It was modded by the previous owner, so i aint sure of the full list, but i know its got a panel filter, modded airbox and jabbasport stage 2 map, but im thinking something else may have been done that i aint sure about, ive only had it a few months, coilys are next tho, followed by rear spacers. dont think anything handling wise has been done.

 

[mazzerati]

Coilies will have negative effects if your tyres are ****
Stiffer + rubbish tyres = lots of sliding around. I know I made the same mistake putting toyo t1r on lol.
